In terms of the female bald Centauri, some of those were skull caps, and others weren't; we let it be known that we wanted to support women going through chemo or other treatments who had lost their hair by casting them here, money that could also help pay for medical bills.

DON’T STOP!

I don't love commenting on that one guy who runs that other site, but now that he's surrounded by astronauts calling him a liar, and is lashing out, let me just say that when we started researching OUR book on space cities in 2017, you had to convince people he would be a bad governor.

I’ve spent a lot of time irl with Udon employees, not including Matt Moylan, but he is kinda the only one who is weird and insane like this. And it confuses me that he would post something like this when so many of their staff/artists who make the company what it is are openly LGBT/POC

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.

Standing up to the authoritarian wave requires more than cheerleading for democracy; it demands making democratic societies more participatory, responsive, and adaptable at all levels, from local to national, in response to the societal shifts driven by the Internet over the past 15 years.

The cult is splitting between drug fucked nutjobs.

This week's video asks the question: Are Hardcore Gamers Playing Games Wrong? Denying yourself the use of mechanics and items in Elden Ring is considered the "true" experience by some. I argue that it's a self-imposed challenge and far from the default approach: youtu.be/buTkS6rNO9Q

THE AUDACITY in #Avowed will not go unanswered.

Hi, you're probably doomscrolling. There's a lot of it lately. But everything is harder when you're sleep-deprived, dehydrated and tired. You still deserve time to rest and recover.
