America could wake up on Wednesday with all three branches of our government — the — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — Trumpist. With this clip, take five minutes to ponder Germany’s memorials and the price that nation paid for being bamboozled by a bombastic autocrat. Listen to the heartfelt message of my German tour guides, for whom these memorials are like ghosts of mistakes made and evils allowed… ghosts that haunt their society still. These are the same guides who clink glasses in the beer halls and yodel from the hilltops with our American tour members. They admire America. They love America. And they are worried for America. If we vote for fascism, it’ll likely be won by one or two percent (or even less)…and perhaps just a few stadiums of people will tip the balance. And history has taught my European friends that the cost of a course correction is infinitely more heartbreaking after a wannabe dictator wins an election than before. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and we will all bear the consequences of our collective choice.

Bidenomics in action: ✅ We've regained all of the jobs lost during the pandemic, plus 3.8 million more. ✅ Businesses have added 170,600 new clean energy jobs since Biden’s Clean Energy Plan passed. ✅ Unemployment has dropped to its lowest rate in nearly 50 years.

*This guy* is complaining about "purple prose?"
From Dragon Magazine #137, September 1988. The more things change, the more the same battle has raged in Geekdom. Honestly, I'm a little surprised the idea of placing a meter on adventures, rating its suitability for Adventurer, Roleplayer, and Problem Solver never got adopted.
Just realized that my friends who like Adam Sandler and my friends who care about the Mark Twain Award are a Venn diagram that doesn't touch, so I have no one to say "Hey, Adam Sandler's getting the Mark Twain Award!" to.

All contemporary, slice of life, urban fantasy or otherwise "modern" RPGs should be set in the "Liquid Television" era (1991-1995). I am firm on this.

Why the hell would I want to play as a doughy 30something with a bad back?
Survey for the TTRPG community. Barring situations where it's physically impossible (such as non-humanoid races/species): Do your #ttrpg PCs typically look like you? Or do they look totally different from you? Not "are they a self-insert," just physical appearance.

The White Lotus s2 is like if Death In Venice had 10 main characters.
Remember that interview with the chatbot trying to prove its sentience from a few months back? At the time, I was impressed, but also felt like you could probably easily write a chatbot of an AI trying to prove its sentience. So I wrote this prompt.

I also added extra challenge to this by having the chatbot also write the human interviewer's questions, which I feel like it did a worse job of, but the voice of the AI is almost just like the one from the interview.

My daughter informs me that over the past two days kids on TikTok have made a completely player-generated, decentralized game where people buy things with "doubloons."
