Furries were an invention for children's animation which needs to translate seamlessly across international audiences to eek out a profit. Werewolves harken waaaaaaay back to Gothic adulty literature and are bloodthirsty/horny like vampires of that same era.

group therapeutic rping idea: if some client has an unavoidable absence, you have a Jekyl/Hyde style adventure where their character transforms. DM seizes control of character in player's absence and party needs to save them (w/o harm).

A powerful visual.

A tweet from Pop Base reads: “A melting ice sculpture of the word ‘Democracy’ was placed in front of the U.S. Capitol.” Two photos show the sculpture before and after melting. In the first, the word “DEMOCRACY” is fully visible in clear ice with the Capitol building in the background. In the second, much of the sculpture has melted, leaving only fragments that spell “D_C_AY,” symbolizing the decay of democracy.

But also not every venue needs to be a symposium for politics. I just want to post dumb memes and chill out sometimes. How is that a problem?

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

Trump claims the power to murder supposed “narcoterrorists” by fiat, without trial or evidence. In what is surely an unrelated matter, he is also calling his political opponents “terrorists”. We are nine months in.

Kinda seems like whether or not the president has the power to assassinate people with no due process, no input from Congress, no review, no oversight, and with no obligation to provide anyone with any information or evidence other than “trust me” is an important test of our democracy.

News on Trump boat bombings --> Now that SouthCom Commander Alvin Holsey has resigned, likely over the bombings, ranking Armed Services Dem Adam Smith tells me committee Ds will demand Holsey's sworn testimony and press Rs to join them.

Smith spoke to us on the pod:

I feel like AI is just the next level up from clipart. It'll allow a secretary at a law firm to shit out some graphics in a pinch when there's no one better to tap.

let me note that one of the actual tests here is going to be 'what do people pushing these ideas want for their own children' and I will bet you a lot of money that the answer is 'the elite university model of Harvard et al' not 'learning through AI slop'

Wow. Just wow.
