If there was interesting Jace discourse I would welcome it, but so often it's just the same warmed-over attitudes and ideas about him from 15 years ago. They never had much to do with the character who appeared in actual narrative, and inasmuch as they ever did, they're hopelessly out of date.
Don’t you make me come back there and remind you all why you like Jace

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

friday soapbox: as a designer, if you want something to be a skillful action for players, and you want growth in this skill to be very deep/meaningful, then you need to also let players be bad at it. sometimes horrendously bad. players hate this pain, and designers often want to mitigate it away.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

ron wyden looking straight at the camera and saying “taxation is the compromise”
There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

Our 249-year-old system -- two-party presidentialism -- has sometimes worked in spite of itself due to favorable conditions, un-codified norms, & a few periodic fixes.

That run is clearly over. I argue below that we need a multiparty democracy with the legislature supreme and a limited executive.

Fascinating thread!
reading some people arguing about the political valences of the x-men metaphor, and I feel like there's some misunderstanding about what a metaphor is and how they function in (most) science fiction and fantasy writing.

As someone with ADHD who has learned through long experience to manage and prep for certain things, the result is like being watched over by a benevolent gnome. Whoa, you packed a little bag for me to put my receipts in on this business trip? What a clever lil guy!

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
