Glenn Beck to Hannity: "We are officially at the end of the country as we know it" if Trump loses in 2020 Me: Oh, I hope so. I do hope so. I would be so up for replacing (even a little) the country as we know it with the country as we've dreamed it can be.


Rob's timing is perfect: I am running the start of BitD (in the Locke Lamora setting) for my gaming group tonight. I already love the heck out of stress and resistance, but it never hurts to be directed to focus even more. Thanks!

Weird day, so enjoy a weird but enthusiastic ramble about stress in Blades in the Dark. walkingmind.evilhat.com/2019/03/06/str…



This thread genuinely just keeps getting better with time.

The Punisher would be a lot prettier if he smiled more.



Some people view a rule meant to help them keep other people safe as a *challenge* to their ingenuity. Absolute safety rules have the added benefit of making those people really obvious, so you can expel them.


I’m sick of the false dichotomy of “incremental vs. radical.” Embracing incremental change is hella radical: it allows you to speak the truth of a problem, and commit to action, even when the complete solution feels out of reach. It’s not “vs.”, it’s “and.”


Okay, *Umbrella Academy*, I have So Many beefs, but the worst bell that you can't un-ring here is this: GOING OFF YOUR MEDS DOES NOT GIVE YOU SUPER-POWERS. Don't tell people that. Just don't.


Understanding Bayes Theorem helps me be comfortable saying "I believe this accusation, probably around the 95% mark, which is plenty to act on, expecting that 1 time out of 20 I will act in error." It also helps me roll my eyes when somebody pretends the 1 invalidates the 19.


I'm watching somebody argue that the new Ghostbusters isn't as good as the original, because it's just a bunch of SNL actors improvising their scenes in a ghost-hunting story ... and I'm like "Have you *seen* the original? It doesn't sound like you have."


I believe Luka and Cheyenne. I could do a whole rhetoric-breakdown of the narrative framing in the apology of their abuser, but that would falsely imply that it is in any way revelatory or interesting, which it fundamentally isn't. #AbuseIsNotAGame
