Because being autistic means

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

It's not stranger than fiction. This is the plot of Highlander fucking 2.
A 25-person startup is developing technology to block the sun and turn down the planet’s thermostat.
The stakes are huge — and the company and its critics say regulations need to catch up.

When I was a kid, there was this era before films were rated and everyone agreed that the purpose of media was to ABSOLLUTELY TERRIFY THE SHITTING PANTS OFF EVERYONE. I never got into SF, the covers were too scary. writerssa.org.au/wp-content/u...

I really hate it when scientists keep saying that “we need to rebuild trust in science,” because it implies that scientists are to blame for the mistrust rather than the millions of dollars of dark money that have funded political attacks on science in order to advance a far right agenda.

If you like cyberpunk #TTRPGs, I suggest giving Wetrunner by @ettin.itch.io a look. Don't be fooled by the premise, it's some good shit and a solid Fate implementation.

What the actual fuck, Apple
Not satisfied with just destroying their own brand goodwill, OS companies are now using AI to try to destroy the good names of the apps users install. (Scrivener taking out adds to explain how it has no AI but Apple adds some anyway.)

Some on the right are suggesting that they didn't believe us when we called fascism coming because we also called it during Trump's first run, as if this is the boy who cried wolf. However in this case, we simply saw the wolf WHEN IT WAS FURTHER AWAY.

food is good analogy because there's similar responsibility in prep as well
it's good and normal to do what your character would do, and to serve food
it's your responsibility to make a character whose actions won't bother the group, just like responsibility to make food that won't poison people

Another thing I just thought of, in #ttrpgs staying in character no matter what has been really fucking tired for a loooong time. Like I had one experience with a "you don't get your character sheet, you funny roll, everything you say is in character" game ONCE. Like 40 years ago. Never again.
