Today, in an hour and a quarter, is the moment of astronomical solstice, when the sun will be the farthest away from the northern hemisphere. May the light and warmth return, may the coming year be more merciful, just, and kind.

The early era of White Wolf was a massive infusion of mostly very white liberal-progressiveness into gaming, a kind modern leftists find deeply flawed now.

But, I can't stress this enough, that was social progress in the hobby to a degree such that some people never recovered from the shock.

Both.

An anthropomorphic lemon asks about a picture of Jenna Ortega, "Who is this again?? Morticia, right?"

Alec Baldwin replies, "Lemon, it's Wednesday."

Some traveller once told me
He's from a land so old he
Saw a pair of vast and trunkless legs
Near them on the sand
An expression of command
The sneering visage on a half-sunk head
Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Lone level sands to horizon running

Your Brain’s Memory of a Story Depends on How It Was Told Telling the same story in different ways can change the brain networks that the listener uses to form memories

Since this article is making the rounds again, I guess this is a good moment as any to plug my book (despite me feeling super weird about self promotion), as I describe these dynamics in (some would argue) excruciating detail.

"The University of Chicago’s architecture once paid homage to the medieval trivium and quadriviumβ€”the bedrock of the liberal arts. Now it pays homage only to money."

If you allow a government to break the law because of an β€œemergency”, it will create an emergency to break the law.

I do not want to enable location services. I do not want to create an account. I do not want to sign up for special offers and news about your product. I would like to engage in a simple transaction where I give you money in exchange for a good.

Cover to a the classic β€œShadowrun” game which classically takes place mostly in what is currently North Western US (Seattle / Portland region) 

It’s a very cyberpunk sceen with subtle magical elements.
