Cat lover. So very autistic. Played RPGs since the 90s. I like to share cool things I come across. Used to pay much closer attention to policy, but it's still an obsession.

Recently got married and my wife delightfully referred to my cum as "hubby custard" in her best Teletubby voice. I think I married the right person and couldn't be prouder.

Is rpg net still doing is genocide denial bullshit? Like, I can't be bothered looking myself, if I wanted to see shit tier hasbarists brigading and lying all over the place and the mods being OK with that, I could just to to reddit lol.

This was an interesting listen. The YouGov poll about how much the Palestinian genocide mattered was both grim but unsurprising - that Americans simply didn't care, or were already propagandised in favour of it has been very clear for some time now... youtu.be/0WxHAs2E8Oc?...

Interesting results here, especially that bottom part about voter affiliation, but just nice to see the sentence, "Trump, Vance, Musk are Unpopular with Everyone." youthpoll.yale.edu/spring-2025-...

*sigh*

It's also important for people to not conflate mental health with neurodivergence, ADHD, ASD, dyslesxia etc are not 'mental health' issues they are neurological conditions*; although I suspect a great deal of problems from the former comes from a society that doesn't really accomodate the latter.

Whenever I see something like this I get the urge to Google 'fired for studying Palestine/ said 'free Palestine'. Dunno why, just a nasty little urge I get...

WATCH: Elephants at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park react to Monday's 5.2 magnitude earthquake that shook San Diego County. The elephants formed an "alert circle" meant to protect the young and the entire herd from any threats, according to the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance.

It's always 'why are they so stupid/ believe the lies' with these people and never 'why is my party so good with such a cesspool of a media and not doing anything to fix that?' Or 'why am I too dumb/ ignorant not to heed the warning that was the Brexit campaign?'

.. while the worst are full of passionate intensity...

Hi all. The right-wing government of my country has once again indebted all of us to the IMF to the tune of 20 billion US dollars, immediately causing a 15% currency depreciation. now, more than ever, every dollar goes a long way. Please buy something if it catches your eye! hipolita.itch.io

This about 'rat culture' (young Chinese rejecting the pressure to be successful, similar to 'lying down') has a funny coda: I mean, I wouldn't say that's accurate; there's also the part where kids in the UK simply don't have options (like community centres, sports courts) that Chinese kids do.

I think one thing chatGPT's invention has revealed is how many people - including some very important people in society - find just basic reading and writing to be laborious and cumbersome to perform, and how oddly closely that type of strained literacy correlates with having other shitty opinions.

This was one of my favourite tweets of all time. Never fails to make me laugh my ass off

Obviously things have got dramatically worse in the US recently, and I don't want to diminish that, but I've been at *so many* conferences in the UK on topics like empire, humanitarianism and development where multiple speakers from the Global South have been denied visas or held at the border

☹️ Pepper got returned to the shelter. When he first came in last year he was the scrungliest stray but so sweet. He looked like he was 3x his actual age. He got adopted a couple months ago and I don’t know why he was returned but he is just the nicest gentleman. www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...

Well, of course foreigners don't count...

From the 1st Edition of Vampire. Check out the original game names - and the absolute lie that is the last sentence.

Chances are against any given organism becoming part of the fossil record, so it’s amazing when we get even one individual of an ancient species. Like Regaliceratops, known from this single cranium. The midline frill horn, offset from the others to the sides, helps distinguish this horned dinosaur 🧪

I've also made it so the threshold for full usage rights is 10 dollars. because i don't know how money works. 10 dollars for me, 22 icons for you.

Jesse did not ‘question an aspect of the progressive message.’ He dedicated his *entire career* to popularizing the idea that progressives are unhinged, anti-science freaks who are foisting permanent surgeries on kids without assessment.

Listening to a podcast with Dani Filth explaining Nymphetamine and think of you perfect woman, so he named Monica Bellucci. Nice.

While it is very funny to see those videos about Chinese luxury bags, this is basic No Logo stuff - sending unfinished products over a border to fuck with the rules and exploiting cheap labour so make unbelievable profits it's something i think the book describes.

To my liberal people just waking up to America, seriously what did you think we were talking about when we said cops were being militarized against Americans and that US fascism abroad would come back to bite us? Did you think we were being hyperbolic? Or did you just think black people were lying?

lol at Matt Yglesias forgetting to switch to his sock puppet account

The more this goes on, the more I see 2015, 17 and 19 as chances to leave the burning house and a bunch of utter bastards insisted on locking the door instead...

The brutal truth is that many voters in the West are simply unaware that literally every aspect of their lives depends on a larger system, and interactions between systems. This is a root cause failure that has to be addressed at every level of education.

A private equity firm just bought £1.6 BILLION worth of the NHS. It will make bigger profits by hiking rents for hospitals and NHS facilities. Previous govts privatized the estate. That means less money for frontline healthcare. NHS already drained by PFI and private contractors.

Weird how people say 'orientates' when it's 'orients', an easier word.

Trying to decide whether to develop my 'witcher wicker man' adventure first, or the 'war crimes striga' one for Thursday night....

Because people are talking abt Hanania again, here’s my story exposing his white supremacist past - and, I would argue, present. Straight-up eugenicist who wrote for Richard Spencer. Wtf are we doing here, why are people so determined to make him respectable www.huffpost.com/entry/richar...

2014 everybody

The rich feel safe advocating for this shit because they have enormous resources to protect their investments & you do not. Further eroding the barriers of intellectual property between creator & corporation merely hastens the speed at which what's yours is theirs. What's theirs will still be theirs

this level of frothing misogyny makes me feel weirdly zen—if men hate women enough to justify nuking the entire economy in order to take them down a peg, well, there wasn't really anything that anyone could have done to stop it

Oh fuck oh shit

For whatever reason this part of the 'kid who killed his parents and wanted to assassinate Trump story' doesn't seem to be getting as much play. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The Road to Summerfall - Part 2 I guess the best place to start is with leaving BioWare. Right off the bat, I'll say I enjoyed working there - a lot. Until I didn't. I started in 1999 with BG2 and ended in 2016, 2 years after shipping DAI and after spending a year on the game which became Anthem.
