It's a #Hearthside Monday, so I've got some updates! I'm reducing my use of stack, using it as a newsletter for an RSS blog.

Tales #1 shows what I've been cooking over on the blog, rumors I've heard in the #TTRPGs #ttrpgcommunity #gamedesign scene, and more!

The Kissinger/Eric Schmidt book on AI basically states that the real promise of AI, from their perspective, is as a tool of perception manipulation - that eventually people will not be able to interpret or perceive reality without the help of an AI via cognitive diminishment and learned helplessness.

For that to happen, online reality must become so insane that real people can no longer distinguish real from fake in the virtual realm so that they can then become dependent on certain algorithms to tell them what is "real".

Please, please realize that we are in a war against the elites over human perception and that social media is a major battleground in that war. Hold onto your critical thinking and skepticism and never surrender it.

I kid you not, @itchio has been taken down by @OriginalFunko because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called @BrandShieldltd that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, @iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

The Democrats are basically running George W. Bush and calling you crazy if you're not excited about it.

Confirmed, there are pinkertons on campus at Columbia University. They are wearing navy shirts & have entered campus libraries searching around. The pinkertons have a history of counterinsurgency & violently breaking up strikes.

What happened after HasanAbi made these statements about Palestine at the DNC?

He got kicked out from the DNC convention and had his stream setup removed.

Free Speech is alive and well in America.

Happy ‘Octavia knew’ day to all who celebrate.

In the next few days we’re going to be blitzed by messianic rhetoric coupled with calls for retaliation that run the gamut from veiled to overt.

It’s going to be an incredibly dangerous time. Be safe. Be vigilant. And take care of yourselves.

At fifty years old, Dungeons & Dragons is grappling with what it is... and what it was. How does D&D exist as a piece of history, a game, a cultural movement, a text, and a product all at once?

BREAKING: Pro-Palestinian protesters have established a new encampment outside of the Cathedral of Learning at the University of Pittsburgh.

They set up their own fence and human chain around their encampment. @KDKA

[That radical social work chick @sandinistaoliva]

The solidarity encampment at the University of Pittsburgh is back and the bitch ass police are on their way. If you can get down there, get there. They said they need wood and water. Be careful.
