Just got on the red line and a trans puppygirl with a muzzle got on the train with her owner.
And I know we like to relax and enjoy ourselves but...
It's fucked up she wasn't leashed. I don't care if she can't bite people, this is a public place and she clearly has obedience issues!

I see people claiming the head tax is going to public libraries, but as far as we’ve been told- it isnt. The good news is, our lackluster book budget may be restored. The bad news? We’re still facing 89 positions cut. After 52 positions were cut last year. That’s 11% of our workforce!

Starbucks is on strike and they are calling for a universal boycott. If I see a Starbucks cup in your hand I will slap the scab outta you
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I am not much for post apocalyptic games these days, but the Bakers could put out a new edition every year and I would buy it.
Apocalypse World is responsible for fostering curiosity and inspiring confidence in so many designers. It helped build an era for games incredibly rich with creativity.

The Chair Company works for me in a way Friendship didn't.
Both projects feel like long "I Think You Should Leave" sketches to a certain degree.
I think it's that they balance grounded and unhinged elements.

I couldn't disagree more with the idea of the guy who drains his child's blood to stay youthful "seeming like he'd be a good hang."
However, I do like that he has committed himself to an absurdly miserable routine in order to do something that obviously isn't working.

I like some of the sentiment here, but I also strongly disagree with some of it.
Mechanics are part of the medium of the design space. It absolutely matters which mechanics you select and how you use them.

Game mechanics aren't that special.
There is nothing inherently better about rolling 2d6 vs a d12, rolling over or under a stat for a skill check, or using tokens.
The special part is when you, the designer, noticing how a particular mechanic lets you share a part of the human experience
