Back in the 90s when I used AOL, Wired magazine had a forum. One day a new user arrived and said she was married to Elwood Edwards, who was the voice that said “You’ve Got Mail!”. So we suggested a bunch of other things he should record in that voice— “You want fries with that?”, “You’ve got credit card debt!”, etc. He recorded them! You can listen to them here: http://www.aolsucks.org/aolsound.htm

SO GOOD. European alternatives for nearly all Amazon, Google, Microsoft products along with alts to Github, Slack, etc. now we need to create a North American version of this. thank you, @vortex! https://european-alternatives.eu/alternatives-to

And finally, I have put my #Dungeon23 into a book!

This book contains all the rooms from the challenge last year, with added maps over all the regions and the cave, and data for the monsters and NPCs for the Dragonbane system. It is a heavy tome with 430 pages, and an equally heavy PDF, since everything is images, not text.

You can buy it at DriveThroughRPG: https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/487869/The-Moon-Under-the-Mountain

Thanks to everyone here who said nice things during the process.

A new study of 83,000 adults found that standing for more than 2 hours a day not only doesn’t protect against cardiovascular risks, but it heightens an individual’s risk of circulatory problems.

The rise of standing desks is a result of what I like to csll “wet streets cause rain” style analysis.

Because people who sit around a lot are usually unfit, people decided the fix was standing around a lot instead of physical activity.

I know a horrifyingly vast number of people in education circles who are all-in, gung-ho about AI.

How do you teach environmental studies while you are supporting catastrophic waste of water & active global warming?

How do you teach kids that plagiarism is wrong when you are promoting plagiarism?

How do you teach kids that consent is important when you are promoting the wholesale non-consensual unpaid theft of original creators works?

Just bought a typewriter.

You can tell it's old because it's got neofetch on it.

OTD in 1989 crowds of CIA sponsored fascists in pay of Soros stormed the Berlin Wall to begin an illegal, and very gay, annexation of East Germany.

If we kick Hungary out of the EU and use the money, which we are blowing up Orbans Ass, it will be enough.

Remember:

TOLERANCE IS A TREATY, NOT A MORAL PRECEPT. It takes two parties to enter into a treaty, and if either party breaks its terms, then by definition the other party is no longer bound by it.

You are under no obligation to tolerate the intolerant.

Remember that when you need to defend yourself. Do not self-doubt or feel remorse for being intolerant of Fascists and bigots; you are not bound to the terms of a treaty they already broke.
