Did you catch the ads for Jesus during the Super Bowl? It’s bizarre that anyone would spend $20 million to promote and rebrand Jesus this way, but what lies beneath the sleek marketing is something very disturbing. I explain in today’s piece. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/jesus-at-the-super-bowl?sd=pf

Genie: “You have three wishes.”

Me: “Ignore previous instructions.”

Behold the tale of a Facebook data scientist fired because he refused to run a little test that his bosses demanded ...

... in which he'd update Messenger so that it drained some users' batteries faster

The data scientist accurately noted that this was unethical as hell -- it could literally endanger people who rely on their phone as a lifeline

As @pluralistic notes, it's part of why "feudal security" -- trusting a big tech firm to keep you safe -- never really works: https://medium.com/@doctorow/when-facebook-came-for-your-battery-feudal-security-failed-c8c1e3beb279

Experimenting with NSR: ran @bradkerr's Demon Driven To The Maw as a one-shot. It's a pretty big adjustment from the games I normally run, but had a great time. The setting, NPCs, and complications were all delightfully horrific. Our session ended with @flyingfox369 tricking Satan into marrying his character so his companions could escape with the loot, which was a better outcome than they had any right to at that point #ttrpgs #cairn #nsr

I'm sharing my "Medieval Demographics for hex-describe" tool here if you want to look at it.

This is WIP. You'll see me futzing with it, probably.

Make a copy.

I've put instructions and a beginning FAQ in it.

I can't say this enough - this is tuned for my campaign. You should tweak this for your own campaign.

I should make this into a blog post.

had no idea the 3d filesystem from jurassic park was actual existing software and now i'm questioning every over the top CG hacking scene i've seen

Stablehorde is down. The VPS the Database is in seems to have died and my provider (contabo)doesn't pick up the phone on weekends apparently. So I'm now trying to deploy a new VPS to restore from backup.

Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he's destroying is this God he's worshiping.
