Which of you are running a #ttrpg crowdfunding campaign? Who's got a game or supplement on DriveThruRPG or Itch or equivalent?

Drop a link in the replies. I want to repost it to all of my followers.

I don’t even have anything in me to be snarky about the compromises on our rights that have emboldened these legislatures. They’re trying to make mandatory reporters for social transition. I don’t even have words.

To give you a sense of how big a deal this is: Summers’ PhD advisor made NBER what it is today

An hour apart. Perhaps we should stop treating the mindless weathervane spinning in the breeze as if it has a clear strategic direction we can ascertain.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

Guess What Moderate Democratic Voters Aren’t Anymore? Moderate. Two new polls suggest that moderate Democrats, too, want higher taxes on the rich and some measure of economic populism. Moderate isn’t what it was in 1992.

Moderate Democrats with columns in newspapers are constantly saying the Democratic Party is way too liberal on "social" issues. Moderate Democratic voters in real life do not feel this way. With some polling data from @gelliottmorris.com and @dataforprogress.org. newrepublic.com/article/2074...

the san jose state volleyball player who outed a teammate in the cruelest way is doing interviews again and making it clear she was mad because … the trans teammate was her friend. like an actual friend that cared about her. she freaked out because she realized she was friends with a trans person

On a day when it was 89 near the coast!

oh look now he's actively choosing to veto bills, not just passively signing what the legislature sends him but actively CHOOSING to OPPOSE otherwise-passed trans friendly legislation

nobody better ever tell me again newsom has anything but disdain for trans people

holy shit

UCLA 94, Iowa 45

Congratulations on your 26-5 season, you got doubled up

Beat a top 10 team by 51 in the conference final. Let's go!

At Largest ICE Detention Camp, Staff Bet on Detainee Suicides, AP Reports Camp East Montana has received several 911 calls in the span of five months about immigrants trying to harm themselves.

Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.

So much good baseball today

Got college basketball on in the background and a player has a full bald spot.

Anti-Semites have agency so I don't want to let them off the hook but at the same time the groups that were supposed to enforce the cordon sanitaire blew their credibility on attacking a guy who went to more bar mitzvahs than most of us as an anti-Semite.

Part of why I don't use daily saves, just keep a version file name.

To be fair, there *was* an easy solution to the Iran issue. Don't start a war to try and force regime change!

Yikes. Makes me miss the ballpark dogs at UCLA's tiny stadium. Just one stand that may burn the hot dog. Add ketchup. Felt perfect for a game.

Producing a TTRPG game for others to watch, playing in public (like a game store), and playing with friends are all fundamentally different things and benefit from different rules/structures.

It's always a problem when one mode of play influences others too much.

I think Japan's bats are ready for this tournament

Mine was an AOL address, so I get a bit of a delay.

I mean this all tracks, right? It's all trans objectification?

Completely tracks

Oh, shit. I have user names close to turning 30!

This is far more threatening to American Jews than anyone's policy views toward Israel

What does this imply for those of us who are not Christian, and who labor under the assumption that we're protected by the First Amendment?

A Discord conversation between Moxie and a friend. Moxie has an anthro cheetah avatar; her friend has an anthro canine avatar. Moxie's friend writes: "hey PAHRC lady got back to me. We are filing under 3 things, terms of contract, discrimination, harassment. But nothing has worked. And i loom closer to the end of the line. I think its my purpose to die a martyr. Thanks for trying." Moxie writes: "Please do not kill yourself. That's all I can ask. I believe you will make it through this." Moxie's friend writes: "Im going to lose everything I will not make it. I will be on the street in rural bumfuck nowhere. Im out of time. Out of lifelines." Moxie writes: "If you're going to be on the street, you can go anywhere first. Drive your car to somewhere with more resources." Moxie's friend writes: "by anywhere, you mean. Nowhere." Moxie writes: "Like Pittsburgh. Or even Philly."

The continuation of a Discord conversation between Moxie and her friend. Moxie writes: "Like Pittsburgh. Or even Philly." Moxie's friend writes: "I have tried, literally everything. My car is illegal so ill be busted. Im so beyond screwed. That it's easier to die. And that's my choice. If there is literally anything I can have, and / or choose. I choose death. I won't be missed." Moxie writes: "I am sorry. I hope you choose otherwise." Moxie's friend writes: "Im sorry too. Goodbye." Moxie writes: "May I post this conversation, with your name censored, on social media? Maybe someone will help. (Though, they will still be able to find your identity via the documents you shared)" Moxie's friend writes: "So ill have the cops called on me. Thrown in the institution and be totally fucked? I mean, im already prepped and ready to go, so. Do whatever you want. They can retrieve a ghost I guess. I applied to jobs, I went to interviews, I haven't gotten calls. I have literally nothing to look forward to other than fear and the unknown. and I would rather have something that is certain." Moxie writes: "But when that certainty is DEATH..."

The second continuation of a Discord conversation between Moxie and a friend. Moxie writes: "But when that certainty is DEATH..." Moxie's friend writes: "In a bed, in a bed, by the waterside I will lay my head Fare you well, fare you well, I love you more than words can tell Listen to the river sing sweet songs, to rock my soul" Moxie writes: "I don't want you to die... I want you to find a way to not just live, but thrive. But you can't thrive if you're dead." Moxie's friend writes: "Some things die prematurely, young trees are fell before they've reached age to burn to keep bodies warm." Moxie writes: "Your death will benefit nothing and no one." Moxie's friend writes: "If my death is the fuel that sparks change in America, for the better. Than, I did good. I did what I wanted to do." Moxie writes: "It won't... Please. Please don't do this. It won't help. Moxie's friend writes: "Do whatever you want. It wont change my fate."

EMERGENCY. The #trans girl I've been posting about, who was fired under suspicious circumstances possibly related to transphobia, is now suicidal and says she is "already prepped and ready to go" (for death?)

Desperately seeking help. NOT COPS. She needs ACTUAL HELP!
