"...there is no way of guaranteeing that an intellectual class will be discreet and restrained in the use of its influence; the only assurance that can be given to any community is that it will be far worse off if it denies the free uses of the power of intellect than if it permits them."

A take I could do without: "Imagine if the Dems had done [insert most recent outrage]..." Yeah, the political right is without principles and full of nothing but bad faith actors. Let's stop pretending that this is somehow surprising.

NEW GAME ALERT... What if I told you that you are a mech pilot, doomed to burn out? This deck of cards? It’s your mech’s battery pack. Every time you use your mech, you take one step closer to burning out… Finish your missions before you run out of cards and deplete your battery.

I'm seeing a lot of folks on here praising #DeepSeek. I'd point out that the enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend. DeepSeek will also be used for anti-humanist purposes.

Our party's cleric was killed last night by the very first combat of the campaign, acting as a stark reminder for the players that, despite its sometimes whimsical dressing, #Dolmenwood is still #OSE at heart.

I wonder if these folks know that all this really could lead to death camps or if they think it's all just fun and games, owning the libs, just for the lulz or whatever.

D's Banh Mi (38th & Longfellow) hit by a car last night, triggering a fire. Destroyed the roof and damaged their kitchen. This means they can't open by the end of the month as planned. They are still open for delivery and would appreciate your support during this time.

It’s been a busy start to 2025! Over the last month, I’ve been preparing files for the THIRD PRINTING of Necromolds! The core game completely sold out the first week of December, which still blows my mind. 😵 youtube.com/shorts/_myx8... #boardgames #gaming

I find it pretty hard to believe that the owners had no idea that they would be closing and absolutely HAD to lay everyone off overnight with no notice.

The Chief Justice's year end report in which contemporary conservative judges facing threats are compared favorably to civil rights era judges is a clear example of the resistance even smart people have to drawing distinctions between cases on the basis of content rather than form alone.

Asian Duck, a family owned restaurant in my neighborhood experienced a break in yesterday that left them with a shattered door that’s not covered by insurance. Let’s chip in and help them reach their goal so they get back up on their feet! t.co/khO1P4GG84

@adamthierer.bsky.social interview on @lawfare.bsky.social has me a bit confused. Claim: there are fewer top EU tech firms than in US, so US tech policy > EU tech policy. Wouldn't the correct measure be citizens' welfare with respect to tech? Not clear, at least, why # of firms is a good measure.
