Rekha is making a movie and I want you to share this damn it kck.st/3Xj6wFs

YOUNG MAN, there's no need to feel down i said YOUNG MAN, pagliacci the clown you can SEE HIM he is playing in town you should go and have a good time

Viikonloppuna julkisuuteen vuotaneet valmisteluasiakirjat kertovat, että komissio on esittämässä valtavia heikennyksiä viime vuonna hyväksyttyyn yritysvastuudirektiiviin. Komissio uhkaa ajaa EU:n yritysvastuusääntelyn kaaokseen.

Black Crusade, Abaddon Blackstone Fortress, Pylon. Siege of Kraf, Creed and Kell, “Cadia Stands,” defenders yell. Daemon horde, Chaos Marine, Holy Throne it’s Celestine! Cawl and Trazyn, Greyfax, Fortress falls, planet cracks. We didn’t start the fire…

If you're curious about the spaces, costumes, and effects of the Odysseus Larp runs in 2024, there is now a mini-documentary edited from in-game video footage. Experience the magic! youtu.be/-6xNUyijCis?...

Without going all Martin Niemöller here, I do think that it's bad not to speak up for immigrants, transgender Americans, civil servants, women, Ukraine, and everyone else the MAGA bullies are going after. We're beyond picking and choosing whom to defend. It's time to stand up and speak out.

wrote an article for my patreon about a new safety tool i've invented called THE PALETTE GRID, where i also get into my issues with lines & veils and how i go about solving them www.patreon.com/posts/122477...

Kenneth Hite's footnote game is on point. (From The Annotated King in Yellow.)

Doing my part

My colleague Ville Kankainen will defend his PhD "Hybrid Play Experience and Design in Tabletop Gaming" on 21 February. #gamestudies #analog #boardgames #tabletop www.tuni.fi/en/news/vill...

The response was entirely positive, so let the Nazi Punch of the Day begin. It seems appropriate to start with a classic. This is from Captain America Comics #1. The cover date was March 1941, but from what I've read, it was on the shelves several months earlier. #NPD #NaziPunching

“Do not bend your neck for that which cuts necks.” A Sumerian proverb, as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago.

Hello.

Except none of the main actors have a fraction of the charisma of a pimple on John Candy's butt.

Here. Have a baby flamingo.

"Go with grace into the great beyond..." We at Red Hook are heartbroken to confirm the passing of our beloved voice actor, Wayne June.

ICYMI: Read our interview with Johnathan Sibley, the owner of The Blade Bar in Edom, Texas who went viral for refusing to repair a Hitler Youth knife. www.chron.com/news/houston...

Got photographed for renewing my passport, or, A Portrait of the Artist as a Syphillitic Deviant.

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

The Locus Recommended Reading List is now out.

When the Patriot Act was passed, libraries got requests for patrons’ borrowing history. We were prohibited from disclosing those requests. We deleted and shredded those records and stopped tracking reading history for that reason. ALSO.

I'm a massive Golden Girls fan, so I can think of no better leadership for my Adeptus Sororitas. I've been working through this concept for YEARS and I'm excited to finally have it accomplished. Shout out to @bssterrain for the amazing head sculpts. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #goldengirls

in case your company uses Google Workspace and is despairing at how Gemini A.I. is getting pushed into everything—fear not! Slate's indefatigable IT chief embarked on a successful journey to get it removed from our end and wrote a detailed guide for the curious: slate.com/technology/2...

The really hilarious thing is that there is no way Tolkien didn't know exactly what he was doing here.

Hey peeps, congruent with my interests, you, too, can fill out "The Great Viking Survey" (done by a Norwegian institution so this is legit). Basically they are trying to figure out the balance of facts vs misconceptions people have based on modern media portrayals nettskjema.no/a/viking#/pa...

The textbook Transformative Role-Playing Game Design is out, published by Uppsala University. Free PDF! books.uu.se/uup/catalog/...

This is Bombshell Big Barda beating Nazis with other Nazis. It is my favorite anti-Nazi art because 1) Barda is a badass, and 2) DC based this Barda design on my original cosplay. So in my head-canon, it’s me beating Nazis with other Nazis. 💀

David Attenborough [whispering]: “Like a grain of sand in a vast desert, the predator blends seamlessly into its environment, nearly imperceptible to the naked eye.”

This is really shocking: and true. I discovered I'd just been upgraded without consent to an AI-enshittified package that was about £30 a year more expensive. Strongly recommend anyone who has an Office 365 follow the below advice to get rid of it

"Facism is the act of self-deception in service of making your own life more painful, solely for the payoff of making life more painful for people you dislike."

I'm incredibly sorry to say that the extraordinary Jonathan Nash has died. Almost all your favourite UK games critics wouldn't be who they are without him. RPS was a ten-year tribute act to him. I've written about why his writing meant so much. kotaku.com/jonathan-nas...

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally:

Goodreads compiles stats. One of the ways it can display them is in a graph of Dates Read/Published. This field expands its range according to demand. This does not expand its size on screen, which is fixed. For most, this is not an issue. I just read Gilgamesh and the Book of the Dead.
