I’m fighting the urge to start work on a space opera campaign.
I’m not in a position to run a long-term game at the moment. Or even play one.
On the other hand, I do enjoy world building and campaign prep

@Ayzacoder: Attention if you have a Gmail account:

Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.

Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

#Google #Email #Privacy #AI

It's getting harder to imagine waking up tomorrow, but try this out?

#wealth #Value #Fantasy

Got maybe half a load of mulch in the car.

Yes, #history do be like that sometimes

@VeroniqueB99 If your "opinion" means other people shall die for your well-being or comfort, then f*ck all the way off and far beyond that. Nothing unreasonable about that. I'm still not talking to some maskholes.

...and not just Norway...

This needs to be said in a loop until it sticks.

"What people are not getting is that we can’t turn this back – the CO2 to a large part remains in the air for thousands of years,” said Rahmstorf. “Some people think we can wait and, when it gets too bad, then we reduce emissions and things will get better again. People don’t realise that we can’t make it get better again. We can only prevent it from getting much worse.”

- Stefan Rahmstorf, Climatologist.

@luckytran I don't really notice mask wearers with productive coughs. I notice a lot of people with strong coughs and sneezing that should probably be in masks but aren't. My personal experience is a lot of people experiencing contagious illness give zero fucks about giving it to others. Lot of complete sociopaths out there.

Senior GOP staffer: "Everyone knows what the problem is: [we] have spent the last decade prioritizing blind ideological loyalty instead of competence or intelligence... We have a generation of rabid, incompetent idiots.”

💬 "For the first time ever, #Ukraine is joining the 🇪🇺 Civil Protection Mechanism as a provider of assistance.

A 70-member Ukrainian firefighting team is on its way to #France to help battle the wildfires.

While defending itself against russia's war of aggression, Ukraine is also helping protect lives across Europe.

This is European solidarity.

Every day, Ukraine shows it belongs in our Union."

- Ursula von der Leyen

Pachli has been running continuously on my phone for weeks now. I can't swipe it off. Rebooting the phone didn't stop it, either; it was still open when the phone started back up. I could force stop it (probably), but I don't know if that would be safe!

I published some shareware in 1988. When I visited my parents last week they gave me an envelope addressed to me. It contained a postal order for the amount requested on the shareware. I've framed the postal order and hung it above my desk.

Forming a boy band meant to have longevity through constant introduction of new twinks as older ones age out. Calling it Lads of Theseus

I'm supposed to finish disassembling and cleaning this.

I am not making my own mastodon client*, like, I really am not.

BUT IF I WERE...

An optional Home Feed's sorting option would be by "Latest Interaction Date"... What this means is that people that have never replied to any of your posts or favorited them go at the very bottom of the list. And people who interact more would be at the top.

This way, you can focus on people who are actively engaged with your posts.

*maybe if godot had plugin? no, lol, I am kidding, KIDDING...

TV won’t turn on? Before a tech touches a screwdriver, unplug it from the wall, hold the power button on the set (not the remote) for 30 seconds, plug it back in. That capacitor drain revives a shocking share of “dead” TVs. Samsung, LG and others bury this fix in their support pages. Now, you know it.
Keep this info safe somewhere for when you might need it. You're welcome. 😀

@JigmeDatse @cptbutton sorry for the delay-- here's a post about that kidnapped general. Not Italian, I got that wrong, but a German officer kidnapped from Crete.

Loving your family in 2026 is discovering your female family members using insecure 3rd party apps to track their menstrual cycles and sitting down to write a private and secure one for them to use instead...

@main @mastoblind @bookstodon Two chapters read today, about 27 #Braille pages. I have noticed that all of the books, so far, of The Book of the New Sun start in a new location, and begin quite slowly compared to the final parts of the preceding one.
