This is a bizarre but incredibly important interaction for understanding how JK Rowling's mind works post-radicalisation, and how cult movements and extremist groups are able to function in conflict with seemingly undeniable reality.

A small thread 🧵

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

On this day 82 years ago, on February 19, 1942, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, in the height of insanity of racism after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, signed Executive Order 9066.

It ordered all Japanese Americans on the West Coast to be summarily rounded up and imprisoned within 10 barbed wire prison camps, with no charges, no trial, no due process.

One day, a few months later, we saw two soldiers marching up our driveway, carrying rifles with shiny bayonets on them. They stopped up the porch right in front of our window and banged on the front door. My father answered, and one of the soldiers pointed the rifle at him, right in front of us, and ordered us out of our home. I had just turned five in April; it was May when they came to take us away.

My father gave my brother Henry and me two heavy suitcases. And we brought them out onto the driveway and waited for our mother to come out. When she did, she had our baby sister in one arm, a huge duffel bag in the other, and tears were streaming down her cheeks.

That is one morning that is seared into my memory. I will never be able to forget all the innocent people, my family included, who had nothing to do with Pearl Harbor, most of who were law abiding U.S. citizens, who were suddenly categorized as ‘enemy aliens.’

Today, I hear terrifying words from political leaders today that once more raise the specter of what happened before, right here in America.

Donald Trump and his allies are talking about rounding up 11 million people and putting them into mass detention camps before deporting them.

There won’t be time for due process, to sort out who is documented and who is not. Homes will be lost. Businesses, too. Families will be torn apart. Lives will be ruined, over fear and ignorance, all to serve the ambitions and agendas of politicians.

I know, because I lived through it.

I say, never again. Not while I have one ounce of fight still left in me.

Join me. Fight this madness. Help keep America from repeating the mistakes of its past.

Why is it just commonly accepted that players can have a singular idea of what their character is a before a campaign world is even explained?
Do people really not have 5 different characters they want to play? People hear “join my campaign” and think “I will ONLY play this”?

@DragonaGranate ¿Desde cuándo Oriol Comas es del sector rolero? Son dos áreas que se solapan mucho, pero Comas no está precisamente en ninguna de las partes interseccionadas.

Very disappointed with @LowerDecksGame for focusing this weekend event on Chakotay despite Robert Beltrán's recent behavior. Maybe it's catastrophic timing, maybe it's a failure to read the room, and I hope it's not a signal of support. Anyway not sth I want to see on my ST today

[Javier @brandvin]

@josh_j_h101 @bi_contextual @jessiegender One wonders what relevance JK even has, because she wrote a book, not make any of the props.

WotC: People are still kinda mad at us for the OGL stuff.

Also WotC: You know what people love right now? AI Generated Artwork.

HOORAY!!! I've successfully created a distraction. I feel like the new Green M&M! Thanks to all who helped make this a thing & yes, it already IS a thing. A dumb thing, but still...Now how BIG CAN YOU MAKE IT for no apparent reason?🤪 #TweetlessTuesday https://t.co/5UoEPkzFn4

@NachoGMaster @juanchocosa @VanessaWed @DevirIberia Para los cuatro monstruos que quizás puedas conjurar, ya puedes tirar de Nethys. Y el Player Core 2, con aún más opciones de jugador, no sale hasta Julio24 (más lo que tarden en traducir).

[Javier @brandvin]

@NachoGMaster @juanchocosa @VanessaWed @DevirIberia Si los quieres para jugar, sólo te interesa el Core Player 1 que sale en Inglés en Noviembre. El de máster (que también sale en noviembre) trae principalmente sistemas de campaña (como la Gamemastering Guide) y Lore.

Looking forward to the next #OGL update to see how WotC shows the importance of defending their intellectual property.
Unrelated, hey, remember six months ago when the first official poster for the D&D movie used Paizo art?

[Chaosium @Chaosium_Inc]

We support this major #TTRPG industry initiative. And we appreciate the leading role our friends at @paizo are taking to make it happen.

[Paizo @paizo]

More than 1,500 tabletop publishers have joined together to pledge their support for the development of a universal system-neutral open license that provides a legal “safe harbor” for sharing rules and mechanics. Work has begun

The legal heavyweights at the American Bar Association weigh in on the #OGL controversy... and reveal their #TTRPG of choice is Call of Cthulhu. It is the game after all where lawyers can be the heroes...

[Chaosium @Chaosium_Inc]

Apropos of nothing🤔, here’s a parable from legendary game designer Greg Stafford:

Back in 1966, Greg first started creating #Glorantha, future setting of the #RuneQuest TTRPG. He began by describing the west coast of the northern continent.

Wizards lived there, on the coast...
