Every time I log in, Patreon hassles me to raise our prices. The pop-up in the first screenshot here will not go away unless I do. Take advantage of our terrible business sense today by subscribing at patreon.com/eidolonplaytest! According to experts, it's a better deal than should be allowed!

There's an old strain of enlightenment internationalism in this, the kind that saw planters dream of equal rights in American and France before realizing how it would spread, which matches with the kind of liberal internationalism that declared a universal declaration of human rights. Aspirational.

“I'm not comfortable supporting any state that has a hierarchy of citizenship on the basis of religion or anything else. I think that, in the way that we have in this country, equality should be enshrined in every country in the world. That's my belief.” - Zohran Mamdani

So if you've seen headlines panicking bc "the cHiNeSe smuggled in bioweapons to kill our crops!!" The Michigan Farm Bureau would like to remind everyone "Yeah they're junior scientists who are working to STOP CROP DISEASES. It looks like they just didn't do the paperwork for bringing in samples."

When I read people say PDF versions of TTRPGs should be free or only $5 because "you don't have to pay for paper or ink, so there's no cost," what they are saying is, they don't think they should have to compensate writers, artists, layout people, graphic designers, etc for their work.

KIM KITSURAGI - Well... except that one time when he stopped to sing karaoke. Which, by the way -- I have to disagree with you, Mr. Vicquemare -- was a valiant effort. He really sang his heart out.

This is not an Elon Appreciation Post but I read this new survey data from Pew as supporting our longstanding thesis that even as Musk has mucked up Twitter in many ways, he has more or less delivered on his main goal in buying it, which was to tilt the platform's political valence to the right.

Feel like I'm going insane watching that NYC mayoral debate where people are piling on because the answer "I actually don't think there should be ethnostates" is unacceptable, or the aspiring mayor of a city saying he wouldn't be doing an international tour is controversial.

orange man bad is still the correct view, regardless of any actual policy content, because the system of Trumpism will not yield any long-term good from any policy you might otherwise think is good. it doesn't mean you are ceding ground or giving up things you believe in, it means you see systems

I feel like the center very clearly had a story in 2020, primarily centered around 'restoring the country's soul". Biden won, and then neither definitively restored the country's soul nor built a bedrock for something different and then we lost.
