A reminder that 5 out of the 6 justices that voted for today’s horror show of a ruling were appointed by presidents that received fewer votes than their opponent. The Supreme Court does not reflect the will of the people. Our system is fundamentally broke.

John Adams: A government of laws, and not of men Theodore Roosevelt: No man is above the law John Roberts: Presidents don't have to follow laws in office, at least not all of them, and if a sitting president breaks the law, he's immune from any legal consequences for life and you just have to deal

Sotomayor's dissent is chilling: "When [the president]...orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune."

Biden got free transgender surgery for army soldiers. As far as I can tell, this article is in response to him saying 8 year olds should not require gender affirming surgery. Most 8 year olds aren't certain of their orientation and don't need to be. Trump thinks trans folks are abominations. Nyet.

Because the alternative is a convicted felon and raving madman who praises dictators, has openly said he plans to use the military and federal government to crush dissent and go after people he doesn't like, and who wants to make himself president for life lording over a theocratic dictatorship?

This is getting ridiculous - how can Farage constantly get airtime with no one pointing out to him & viewers the Brexit he championed has by almost every economic & financial measure been disastrous for the UK?

If that outrages you as much me RT this widely

Walking around Arles thinking: here are millennia of human history under my feet, traces of countless lives fading into the past, how Proud I must be, to wish to create something that lasts. Did Van Gogh feel the same way?

My friend Geoff’s comparing himself to Salieri is quite apt in one critical respect. Salieri was a brilliant teacher. Among his students? Liszt, Schubert, Beethoven. Between his time with Ludology, his books, and all his other work, Geoff has done more to teach good game design than anyone I know.

Since you totally care, I'm sitting on a ship in Avignon on the Rhône, casually glancing over the (once-) Pope's castle, listening to swifts shriek. And you are better than me! How cool is that!

@gengelstein.bsky.social has a new newsletter and it hits home better than anything I've read in a while. "I am Salieri"
How do you convince yourself to keep creating, in the face of other artists who effortlessly out-class you? It's the question.

...But OK now I'm thinking about it, and dropping her into A-force would be a pretty sweet deal. As long as she learns to quip and slowly become less of a robot as she bonds with her new found family. Comics are great.

I mostly love how he is smart enough to cut his losses, and never fully invested in the villainy. Like, "Now Thor showed up? I'm out. Good luck with that; minions, remember your training..." He's so much more likeable than the zealots who just never. give. up.

That's actually becoming more and more common these days. I don't know of any traditional RPGs using scientific notation yet, but the roguelikes and casual RPGs have mostly converted. Every game needs progression, forever. (Here's hoping for a post-post-modern return to comprehendable numbers)

Hey folks! So I'm reading a paper about the evolutionary history of a certain group of arthropods, and there's a graph that I THINK I'm interpreting correctly, but I'm not sure. If you are at all familiar with divergence time chronograms (see links below), I'd really appreciate your help!

Early on in Aliens, Ripley demonstrates her prowess with the power loader (mech suit), setting up the epic battle with the alien queen in the final act. This is a classic example of the Chekov's Gundam trope
