This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.

Genuinely boggled.

How the hell have you not done Daniken before?

essentially the entire problem with doctoring is that two totally different professions— medicine and care— have been combined into one, and people who want to do medicine broadly resent the expectation to perform care, to disastrous results.

What @faineg.bsky.social has identified makes an existing problem worse. And that existing problem has been ongoing for well over a decade as it reverts to a terribly strategically inept mean that we fell into after Vietnam. 1/

That credit goes to the fine designers @rustysellsword.com and @rdonoghue.bsky.social among others. I didn’t help make the game but I thought it came out great.

1) lol dying
2) how was Molly posting about this a month ago and everybody in crypto just figured it out in the last 24 hours

Scratchpad is a FANTASTIC studio.

I was just checking out the website and yeah, there’s a bunch of stuff I enjoyed there without really locking the brand identity on my head.

I’d also note that I’m rereading and really enjoying NEON CITY OVERDRIVE #ttrpg, which also has a bunch of fun mechanics and dead-on tone. Not sure it got enough love when it dropped. www.perilplanet.com/neon-city-ov...

Boosting the KS for a very interesting cyberpunk rpg with some very strong con and heist mechanics snuck in there among the retro future chewiness. I’m stealing a chunk of this.

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

Actually Myrna Loy is more my type but that shot is just objectively gorgeous.

U.S. war on Iran plunges gas markets into chaos - Gas Outlook About a fifth of the global LNG trade is at a standstill with the Strait of Hormuz blocked due to the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran.

The important point from @sebkennedy.bsky.social

“The idea that you can cost-effectively decarbonise your economies by relying on a commodity that, in the space of 5 years, is subject to two illegal wars that send prices stratospheric, it just doesn’t make any sense”

Solar makes sense.

This is a wild & surreal amount of how the WH has used Call of Duty graphics to justify the war in Iran, "propaganda designed to stimulate the 47 administration’s prime constituency—unsocialized Discord incels, Joker-fied elder millennials, & bloodthirsty Gen Xers."

We should reckon with the idea that Americans are so fucking dumb that we booted out the party that saved the country after Covid and created the best economic recovery in the world in favor of a con man who said he would use racism and magic to make everything cheaper and jobs plentiful.

Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate. In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate. A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership. "Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."

Oh she sat through and enjoyed the movie. But she said I was plainly more in love with Ingrid Bergman than her.

“Slurs filled a chat” is a beaut

Slurs Filled a Chat Created by a Republican Party Official in Florida

“Slurs Filled a Chat” as if by magic! Who can say how those slurs teleported into that chat! www.nytimes.com/2026/03/05/u...

One of my favorite movies. At university I actually had a date bail on me because of the sigh I let out when Ingrid Bergman comes back to the bar, the shot with the shadows from the blinds.

I wrote a procedural pilot years ago and got completely blocked, had to call a friend who’s done them, because I was just … “so they just talk to suspects and solve murders? Every week?”

In many ways, that was the promise of streaming! Creative people were excited about tailoring a season to what it needed to be, not what external factors demanded. But unfortunately, that was a false promise, as Mike Schur explained a while back www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/20...

When we did LEVERAGE Downey used to say “what movie are we doing this week?”
