Oppression unpunished becomes the norm. If we wait for those in power to find a line their conscience cannot bear, it will be a line far on the horizon with nothing but unmarked graves the whole way there. They will not stop until they're made to stop.
The GOP has always consisted of the overt bigots vs "make money" Republicans who were willing to lift the boot a little if it meant more money. The latter thought the former would be a useful wave but now the economy will crash bc you let them run shit. It's been like this since the Tea Party so?
Raw StoryConcern is mounting among high-ranking Republicans that the next generation of conservatives consists primarily of "rabid" "idiot" Nazis, according to a new report.
@gamefiend.bsky.social @juddthelibrarian.bsky.social One of the best things of modern RPG space is once people understood the system does matter, people started building/adapting to fulfill play promises made by games in the 80s and 90s.
Aaron KingA new comment on this reminded me that it exists. Dark Sun backgrounds for Troika. erinking.itch.io/troika-dark-...
Well, I guess if you charged $300 for the product you've already self selected for a majority of people who also believe most of the world of laborers are unthinking automatons who exist solely to fulfill the needs of "real people" 😬
VƎX WerewolfThank you for @rookthebird.bsky.social for sending this to me

Michael SiglainJust announced at Gen Con. More to come.
I remember my Gunlugger fighting a large gang to a standstill & ending up in some busted ass hospital bed. The next PC who opened their brain to the maelstrom saw me drinking soda from a gas pump with it leaking out of the holes in my chest. "Love the flavor but I just can't seem to get enough"😂
Thursday Garreauthere is a lot of angry misinformation about PbtA games online but i do wish i knew why dummies keep insisting they don't have PC harm or death in them. it takes two seconds to debunk, and yet!!
The funniest thing is when people try to add "bizarre" or "strange" to racism. It may be nonsensical but it is never bizarre, it's extremely common. The fact y'all tolerate the bullshit is why it keeps happening - it's not punished and called out from day 1. Racism demands willful self delusion.
TruthoutRep. Haley Stevens posted a bizarre and racist rant against opponent Abdul El-Sayed over his criticisms of AIPAC — even as her campaign has already faced pushback for bigoted attacks. Stevens said that “[e]veryone in America understands you want to blame all of your problems on Jewish Americans.”
Who remembers mid 2020 when critical supplies were being withheld from the national epidemic stockpile and individual state governors had to go through backchannels to get masks, gloves and ventilators for their states? The more recent "no disaster relief for Dem states" stuff was also the same.
Lindsay BeyersteinThis is a crisis of federalism. Tim Walz is asserting as fact that Iran attacked water infrastructure in Minnesota and several other states. And Trump is saying it's Minnesota's own fault they were attacked as part of a war he started.
