"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"
counterpoint!
the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time
I let out an audible gasp.
What in the absolute fuck.
There's a dark, dark, history of this. Of forced sterilization.
I am so, so sick.
There's so much dark and horrifying in the world, but today my theater criticism students delivered manifestos on what kind of theater and criticism they want to see in the world and they were so inspiring. Community-focused, anticapitalist, railing against the dark. I love teaching so much!
And those needs are boring, unprofitable, and tremendously complicated. They are, in short, a lot of *work*. It's work that billionaires are especially unwilling to do, but are tremendously willing to exploit once it's been done.
At around 370 different systems, not counting guest appearances on other shows, I've played more unique tabletop RPG systems on-mic than anyone in history.
Hard same, I know it's a marketing gimmick (I hope like most marketing gimmicks all this booktok shit evaporates in the cleansing light of day) but the "tropes checklist" is one of the worst things to happen to the public's relationship to books, every time I see it I feel the call of violence
They do Our Town?? I might have to watch this lol
Promotional image for this year’s Juneteenth TTRPG event. At the top right is the logo of Twitch channel Find Out Productions, a black cat wearing a reddish pink Carmen Sandiego style hat. At the top left, the text “Hosted by Imani” next to a picture of Imani, a Black femme with short blonde hair wearing sunglasses, looking at the camera. Further text taking up the center and bottom of the image reads: Juneteenth 2026 We Came To Party An All Day TTRPG Event Celebrating Black Joy GM Signups March 30th In the background is part of the artwork Sugar Shack, by Ernie Barnes.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to
MASTERY FEATURE Virtuoso You are among the greatest of your craft and your skill is boundless. You can perform each of your “Gifted Performer” feature’s songs twice per long rest.
RPGs have got to stop writing flavor text like, “You’re the apex of this discipline, all bow before you in awe,” and then the ability associated with it is, “You can do a thing you could do at level 1 an extra time before you need to take a nap.”
This is wild (screencapping because for some reason the thread breaks in standalone view).
If you’re part of any creative groups, unions or other organisations in the uk you should be passing news like this along and spreading the world. News like this gets has the chance to be overlooked but if enough organisations kick up a fuss things can change.
A panel from dungeon meshi that changed my life
"How can you oppose war when Khamenei was evil?"
Simple. If you killed Donald Trump by nuking Washington DC, I would not mourn Trump but I'd still say you're an evil war criminal who belongs in the Hague. It's really not hard.
If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

everything theyre saying now they said during iraq
bringing back this banger for no reason at all
there is no metric by which this is true. even 2028 primary polling (which is meaningless in general but seems like a fair yardstick here) doesn’t have him on top.
just a brazen attempt to impose him on us by the rich and the commentariat.
Danny devito in always sunny stating "you would have to be a real low life piece of shit to be proud to be an American."
Imperialism is a death machine that seeks to assert white supremacist and fascist control over the world. It cannot be reformed. We must uproot the very structure of the U.S. military and its accomplices in our collective struggle for liberation.
No war in Iran.
No western imperialism.
Remembering that time they toppled Saddam Hussein and then everything in Iraq was suddenly chill and peace reigned supreme with blessedly little political fallout
(The destabilisation of Iraq led to refugee migration in the millions, millions dead, spawned new even more evil terrorist groups)
Black and white photo of Marjane Satrapi with the quote: "The world is not divided between East and West. You are American. I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."
Once again.
The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive
call (202) 224-3121 & you'll get connected to your representatives
my heart is so heavy
Once again, the “distraction” angle is bullshit, inhumane framing.
Even *were* they doing it to “distract from Epstein”, I don’t think it comes as comfort for people getting Tomahawk missiles launched at them that they’re only a sideshow, and you owe it to them not to treat their lives as cheap.
If I had a giant Totenkopf skull on my chest that I was trying to pass off as a big ol' misunderstanding, I personally would not amplify neo-nazis on social media
If I were trying to dog-whistle my support for white supremacy, on the other hand, this is exactly what I'd do

“But Jace, you’re not trans, so why do trans rights matter to you?”
BECAUSE I CARE ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE.
I could write more about why; how this is part of fascism everyone should oppose… but I did that on Facebook just now and there aren’t enough characters here and I shouldn’t need to say more.
