Mongoose are good people, I have loved Traveller for many years (Megatraveller was kind of terrible). Mongoose should copy Pinnacle (Savage Worlds) and use fans to do Q&A. Let a bunch of fanatical nerds, WHO WILL BUY YOUR STUFF ANYWAY, check your books before you commit to print.

The thing about money is that once someone has a very large amount of it they automatically, without effort or even intent get more. So the best analogy is gravity. Out economic system allows some individuals to become huge masses of money and draw everything else towards them or into their orbit.

"On Tyranny" is a #1 NYT bestseller again. I wish the moment were different. But I’m glad the book is useful. And grateful for all the kind words about putting the 20 lessons to work. snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

So yesterday I gave my class their marks and work from a school exam on logic and statistics. One student, low scoring but quite loud, complained that one of the logic questions I had marked wrong for her was "the same as the one on the test exam you gave us but has the opposite answer".

The trouble with the "Israel-Gaza War" tag on this headline is that don't have a war with a hospital. The hospital is not a combatant, nor are its staff. This is just destruction, by Israel, of vital resource. It is a war crime. War implies some kind of parity. This is not a war, its a massacre.

I am a European. We still have Kings and Queens but THEY DON'T GET TO RUN STUFF ANY MORE. We limited their access to political power. They make comforting speeches, present the best side of a country etc. but no more. The USA has a powerful monarchy with no limits and the results are predictable.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive. No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief. 1/ A 🧵 to explain his plan and how we fight back.

Today I gained a qualification after some years of study and was given a white rose as part of the ceremony. This put me of course in mind of the White Rose resistance group and Sophie Scholl, may their memory be a blessing and an inspiration.

I used to work in a bank. There was a department that handled shares and it was the policy in that department that LEAVING YOUR PC UNLOCKED WHEN NOT PRESENT AT YOUR DESK was an instant firing offence. This, in Europe, when you have to prove major negligence or theft to fire someone on the spot.

Just had great fun running Mothership. Meanwhile in the current dystopia, I am reading about obfuscation: the tactic by which users flood the data collected about them with junk information: irrelevant search parameters, bogus advertising clicks etc. Ad Nauseam automates this for you: adnauseam.io

The Massachusetts governor, the city, and the university needs to drop everything to locate and free this girl and make sure this doesn't happen again. This is DEFCON-1. If they do this to someone who wrote an op-ed in a college newspaper, they will do this to anyone they don't like.

It seems that the Trump administration accidentally included the editor of The Atlantic in a top-secret military planning session on Signal. It seems impossible to believe www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

As a European I find it hilarious when some sad racist wanker says that my culture is in danger. We have been bouncing cultures of each other here for 2000 years. That shit keeps changing and evolving and I rather welcome that it will be less influenced by the USA for some time to come. We just need

Mathematicians know sad stuff. I saw the early graphs for Covid infections and pundits extrapolating lines from them. I knew they were exponential growth, that early bit just before the graph grows an elbow. A lot of people died because full-fucking-adults do not understand exponential growth.
