We came so so close to that final stretch goal. You know what? Close enough for me -- I'll upgrade the action tiles.
Thank you immensely to everyone who supported the project, and I can't wait for you to bring it to the tabletop. 🎪🎪🎪

This has been both immensely stressful and one of the most touching and validating things I've done. Thanks to all the backers and the barkers 🙏
This one was tough. I guess I like sophomore albums.

While it sucks that we're ruled by a guy spiraling into both AI dementia and regular dementia, it rules that there's a new way of making fun of people for being enamored by the computer that tells them nice things

NEW: Amazon will refund thousands of Prime members in Wards 7 and 8 for secretly excluding them from full delivery services.
The exclusions have now been lifted, and Amazon will also be required to change its practices.
No corporation is too big to be held accountable for deceiving DC residents.

Getting mad at Joyce Cato Oates for being a snob after cheering all her epic burns is a different form of being a member of the Leopards Eating Faces party. You can’t contain that heat, you can only hope to avoid its gaze.

We've had the ability to watch, say, Counterstrike marathons, Street Fighter tournaments, or chess matches between computers since the 90s. Spectacles which, by their very definition, would be at a "higher standard" than human play. And nobody wants it. It's entirely meaningless. It has no appeal.

“transplant” discourse is great because you get to see how easily people can swaddle their insular, reactionary beliefs with left-coded language
I truly don’t understand this “transplant” nonsense. The whole THING about NYC is that ppl come here from other places to mutate into New Yorkers! TO SEE IF THEY CAN BE KING OF THE HILL, TOP OF THE HEAP! Imho a rando who moved here a year ago is the MOST NY person. Welcome Ohio rando, have a bagel

I've never seen this panorama at Dulles before. It's a carnival that's been constructed right outside Union Station in DC, 1917. If I didn't have a flight to catch I could stand here and look at the details for an hour.

Ok I've seen enough. The ai guys are in a millenarian apocalyptic cult. They convinced themselves they were too smart for religion and then looped right around into creating a machine god. No more to it than that.

"the overton window didn't even include this discussion until recently" yeah that's how it fuckin works
The thing liberals fundamentally don't understand is that trans people are losing rights they already had. We're not asking for more, we're asking not to lose what we already had for decades.
Most sports leagues and the Olympics had inclusion criteria for decades without issue.

I've been playtesting my new board game's solo mode a lot lately, and the bot keeps beating me. I have no choice but to conclude that this game mode will hasten the downfall of civilization, unfortunately.

This is a guy who not only eats a pound of candy a day, but orders the candy daily rather than just having a lot of it in his house. Really an all time dumb guy the more you know about him.
Looks like Aaron Rodgers has redpilled DK Metcalf. This makes me a little sad.

I don't think this is the argument. CEOs demanding the children's book equivalent of a written report is upstream of this being "the work," so I don't actually care what replaces it. There are so many more pertinent objections to the tech.
Letting a machine write your emails or spin up a PowerPoint presentation isn't cutting corners, those tasks are what you're being paid for.
