Does anyone know who I can contact about the deplorable state of airline meals for special dietary needs that are made with absolutely zero understanding of what those needs are? Tried complaining about it to the airline to predictably no effect.
Octopath Traveler was a huge inspiration for my tabletop RPG Dragons & Travellers Tales, so to celebrate the release of Octopath Traveler II I'm discounting D&TT by a massive EIGHTY PERCENT!
Check it out! 👀

"I'm willing to bet most Albertans would be willing to pay up to $1,000 if it would reduce waiting times on vital treatments for themselves or a family member."
The audacity of these free marketeers to hold this thought in their minds and then forget about supply and demand.
I knew as soon as Smith started talking about exempting Alberta from federal legislation that she was just saying in so many words "I will axe public health care." Not even slightly surprised.

This graphic helps me wrap my head around the magnitude of the problem. Notice the amount of current biomass for wild mammals (in green) versus that for livestock and humans. No wonder we have converging crises of biodiversity, fresh water, and climate. doi.org/10.1093/biosci/biac0…
@ServusCU I tried to make an appointment with two of your branches in the Calgary area through your customer service line, and neither responded to me. Are your branches just not interested in recruiting new members? I'm very confused by this bad service.

Sometimes it's hard to know why prices are going up. Between the oil shock, a tight employment market and the climate polycrisis, is it even possible to tell if companies are using the widespread *belief* in inflation to hike prices? Uh, yeah, we *absolutely* can. 1/
ALT A brightly lit grocery aisle; at its terminus, looming out from behind the frame, is the upper torso and head of Goya's 'Saturn Devouring His Children.' In the foreground is a dancing 'Rich Uncle Pennybags' from the game Monopoly; he is brandishing a grim reaper's scythe and his features are skull-like.
I'm at the part of my Avatar watch through where I've finally realized why Kylo Ren needed to be written and who the message was targeted at.

Starbucks Drags Its Feet—"We've only had bargaining sessions for 2 or 3 stores out of the over 230 unionized locations
Every proposal the union has made, Starbucks has either said nothing or been radically opposed
The last bargaining session we were able to schedule was June 1
EXCLUSIVE: Starbucks has spent months illegally stalling negotiations with @SBWorkersUnited — and we have the inside details.
Howard Schultz’s team is deploying lies, last-minute cancellations, absurd proposals, and delays as they fire workers and try to bleed out the union.
People are saying that AI art generation is "inevitable" now, but do y'all remember how Google Books used to be vs what it is now? If the creators of AI art generation sites had to pay licensing fees to every artist included in their training corpus they would go bust very fast.
Thank you to everyone who has purchased Dragons & Travellers Tales! I know buying a digital copy of a tabletop RPG isn't that attractive to many people, but those of you who have bought the game make me hopeful it'll get played and not just sit on a shelf looking pretty!

I want to just offer a HUGE thank you to everyone who's offered kind words, promoted, or picked up a copy of Exquisite Biome so far! I'm beyond thrilled that this game has resonated with so many folks.
Couple of quick announcements about the game a few days out:
A new creature to be discovered around every corner.
EXQUISITE BIOME: A game of speculative biology, now available on itch.
ALT In a painterly illustrated style, a symmetrical drawing of an amphibious creature with wings in front of a nature background. Text reads "Exquisite Biome: a game of speculative biology"
I would also like to thank my illustrator and cover artist @Vanagas_ for giving the text so much color and life and being a great collaborator! Check out her Artstation if you are looking for an illustrator for your own game!

Finally, I would like to thank @thestraykiwi for her meticulous editing with a fantastic focus on onboarding and usability! You can check out her own fantastic tabletop RPG at the link below!
