It's 65 degrees in Chicago. The park is full of boys throwing baseball bats at each other

I love you fucked up indie TTRPGs
ARE YOU SCARED OF A FUCKING WHISTLE DAWG
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.
After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Reminder: it's not ok to execute guilty people, either
Seriously get the fuck out of our city. Get the fuck out of our state. Don't wage a war on a winter people in the winter. Fuck off
I haven't played any of mine, but I did lend a bunch to a friend who is thinking of writing one lol
WTF THATS WILD
I'm sorry that happened to you that sucks.
It's so good, it drives me crazy. Still thinking about cubey mcCubeface. And "Jakobβs notebook: Quit without saving" has been driving me crazy for years. (Has it been years? Feels like years.)
It's incredibly well produced from the beginning, I managed to listen to it right before it got picked up by a network so now it has ads (and a lot of them are for AI so that's very funny and silly)
Maybe I should say more lmao. Technically it all takes place in the same universe but each episode stands alone. And some are in the same universe but in a simulation within that universe, it's about the future where AI takes over everything
Have I mean The Program? I recommend the program, incredible podcast, fiction, sifi, all too real.

I don't have an answer but I do have Hundreds of Beavers as an example?

Getting hit in the chest from point blank range with a footlong sub and an enormous Peckinpah-style squib of sweet onion teriyaki sauce explodes from my chest.
It's a good thing to believe in ideals and fight for them.
They are also intentionally conflating machine-learning and generative AI slop to confuse and try to make GenAI seem necessary. Google Maps traffic stuff is machine learning, not GenAI, for example. Auto-correct is too. Don't let them make you lose the thread. GenAI slop is slop.
leaving aside everything else, the idea that we should look at betting markets for predictions at all is posited on the idea that people who gamble on everything are good at thinking about the future, and I would argue that in fact they are especially terrible at that
Infographic on spotting self-sabotage in communities. Three signs: 1) Dilutes the Purpose β off-topic nitpicking; 2) Replaces Curiosity with Caution β fear or futility messaging; 3) Drains Morale β leaves people discouraged. Passing comments add clarity, use curiosity not fear, and leave participants stronger.
Infographic on countering sabotage. C Concrete facts- verify; O Orient to purpose; M Mind morale; P Protect the point; A Acknowledge donβt accuse; S Steer to solutions. Each step pairs with research showing how clarity, purpose, empathy, and small actions restore cooperation.
So we've been trained to sabotage our own movements from within and it worked on all of us I'm afraid! ESPECIALLY if you're marginalized. But here's how to stop it. Save these. These go in your phone now. REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE.
if there is one sad truism about online it is despite any reassurances they may give u companies are simply unable to protect anything you give them
I clown on wotc a bunch but also this is very good
The museumβs floor has a gradual slope. Our displays reference life and death. There are mannequins.
A simple, haunting poetry in this information from a medical musuem website.
"If we lose hope, we're doomed."
We must continue Dr. Jane Goodall's mission and all fight for the future of the planet.
"You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you.
What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.β
Rest in power, Dr. Jane Goodall
You know those video game boss monsters who are huge with attacks that deal massive amounts of damage, but have long, obvious wind-up animations?
That's how you look to a housefly.

I am prepared for the raptor I have my camera and binoculars at the ready
