Last night in my 5e game, i tried to apply some daggerheart/pbta advice of asking questions more to my players and have them narrate and describe places or things or people they see, and i think it went pretty well! we didn't actually accomplish a ton that session but i think it was fun.

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

I worry that not enough of a big deal is being made about how long-term the devastation of these budget cuts to our scientific and health agencies will be, beyond the absolute ruin they will cause in the acute period.

With sepsis, every minute of delay matters. Women will die in states where laws do not prioritize their lives and survival over that of an unborn fetus. I consulted on a case a while ago of a woman with a pelvic abscess. Antibiotics were not successful in stabilizing her apnews.com/article/abor...

I've seen folks talk about how "in four years" they'll be able to get back to their planned projects and I really don't think that's going to work out. People & projects losing funding now will not be able to hit pause and come back once funding is restored. Hard-won progress & capacity will be lost

"Federal law enforcement officers on the scene declined to say what the purpose of the raid was...Some declined to identify which agency they were with. Most wore masks." It's almost like the police are trying to be...secret.

“The laws also allow Hungarian authorities to use facial recognition programs to search for — and prosecute — attendees and organizers of such banned events.” Artificial intelligence is accelerating authoritarian attacks on LGBT+ and other communities. We must resist and defend our right to thrive.

This decision is incredibly significant for federal employees. That an appellate court actually said this out loud is incredible and really shows the public how horrific this Administration has been with respect to destroying the rule of law and the surrounding protections.

Happy Pride month, all! Way back in 2018 I made these galaxy pride flags. They were shared many thousands of times, featured on Vice, and even made their way onto book covers and into video games. Here are the original ones I created (in no particular order!) so Bluesky can have them too. 💙

Look this is pathetic but instructive because it’s not just about this lame creep it’s about the Overton window continuing to be moved so quickly by Trump’s criminality and lawlessness that bad people have reassessed their previous actions against the metric of “you can get away with anything.”

I don't think every single cop is a psycho who just wants to commit their crimes with impunity, but I do think if I were a psycho who wanted to commit crimes with impunity, cop would be my first choice career to do that from.

It is deeply hilarious that the Hudson's Bay Company was founded in 1670 and chugged along for three and a half centuries and Private Equity finished it off in like five years.

Lol just heard the NPR story about the DOGE guy who lost his job when he said he was surprised at how hard it was to find inefficiencies in the federal govt because he came from Silicon Valley where companies always have lots of people sitting around doing nothing

DOGE locked the doors to the $500 million structure and essentially walked away – attracting rats and roaches and letting conditions erode to such a point that the facility will now likely require hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs, according to USIP chief of security Colin O’Brien.

Underrated comparison point between Russia and Israel is that they both have virtually no realistic offramps in their respective, near-constant escalatory behavior. They demand things which are impossible and they use it as pretext for doing things in turn which are, on the whole, also impossible.

DOGE is now reviewing every NIH grant that goes out, I reported last week. That review is AI-driven and is screening for DEI, trans health, China, vaccine hesitancy, and the institutions to whom Trump has blocked funding, @hannahnatanson.bsky.social reports. Gift link: wapo.st/3HhnPSt

Indiana's governor fired all the elected members of Indiana University's Board of Trustees. Given a recent policy change, he'll be able to fill those seats with appointees. Which means he'll basically have unilateral control over IU decisions, including who gets hired, tenured, and fired.

It is unendingly funny that trump is actually working to do an Iran deal rn. He is actually expending capital on it. No, he doesn’t get any credit if he achieves it, all he’s doing is taking years to clean up his own bullshit mess lol

Not hard to believe. But hard to trust. The Trump “administration” has been pulling FBI agents off of counterterrorism & reassigning them to immigration enforcement. So as soon as there’s a terrorist attack, it has to be converted into an immigration case, or else they’ll look stupid. So, voila.

I understand what Elliot is saying, but it really irks me. For 2 yrs, he campaigned nonstop on mass deportation. His speeches, ads, etc, were all about mass deportation. The MSG rally was about mass deportation with a fascist twist to. So, voters need to take some responsibility here.

Also, much as I love PbtA, it does need some kind of system for sharing the spotlight. The optional “spotlight tracker” described here is similar to what I do (list the PCs’ names, put a tick next to a name whenever that player rolls dice/makes a move, and watch if anyone falls behind)

This is heartbreaking. Listen to Ming Li "Carol" Hui, from ICE detention, break down in tears as she contemplates having to leave her family behind. She has no criminal record and had permission from ICE to stay despite a removal order for over a decade — yet Trump's revoking it.
