Do Trump's supporters realize that if Trump really does invades Greenland, he is walking straight down Putin's imperial path which got Russia sanctioned to kingdom come?
The only way it is going to affect Americans' thinking is if it directly affects their vacation plans. Canceling their fjord cruises or their backpacking across Europe would get their attention. If there is an invasion of Greenland, it should be met with a pan-European response.
Some moments in the econ news cycle tip my responses from blunt and direct into lightly unhinged territory. I fear the farm bailout just did that. https://youtu.be/S0ElcMZjvOE?si=16uSoWaaZ94vvBuh

You are a criminal/artist in a cyberpunk and/or fantasy world with intricate fancy social codes. As a ner-do-well you have never needed your own symbol to stamp in wax for your letters (you just used your thumb) But, exciting new opportunities have you moving up in the world rapidly... suddenly you must pick a small object in your abode to make an impression: literally.
What do you choose as an impromptu standard?
With what object will you make YOUR mark?
I would use the end of my nail clippers sideways so it looks like the mandibles of an ant.
So there's a little cubby hole next to my fireplace. I stuck a fertility figure I bought in South Africa in there. She seems happy enough.
I assume most people's homes have this slightly creepy feature right?

Just a handful of short videos I’ve posted on YouTube that I thought were worth sharing. These are my favorite ones!
Seeing a lot of "discourse" about the new #Odyssey movie lately...
Yet, although I was a proud owner of a multi-set CD of the #Odyssey as a child & my love of #GreekMythology -- I can't help wishing it was a #Circe adaptation instead (I'd even take a whole new Journathan journey😂 )!

Hey #Tabletop #RPG folx! I have an #AskFedi for ya!
GMs: What is your top tip for running good games (that *hasn't* been mentioned yet)?
Players: What's something your GM has done to make the game awesome that you wish more GMs would do (that *hasn't* been mentioned yet)?
---
I'll start (with one of each).
As a GM, I use the 3-act play / 5-room dungeon style as often as possible. It keeps things tight, makes for satisfying progression, and can be scaled to work for almost anything.
As a player, I was shocked the first time a GM of mine rolled some dice and said "you hit, and it takes Blorp out of the fight, what does that look like?". Every GM I'd had previously would've just said "you kill Blorp". That one question has made playing characters *feel* so much more epic.
@alice As a GM, be the greatest fan of your players' characters. Test them, challenge them, drag them through mud, but cheer for them and try to give them plenty opportunities to shine.
@louis it really is a wonderful camera. It’s going to be replaced with the z9ii some time in early 2026, so I’m guessing this was the last update for it, sadly.

"The Broken House Key" sound like a very ominous criminal art gang.
In the narrative arc of this story whatever you pick will end up being the symbol of a great movement or criminal art gang (or both)--
But you have no time for design right now. Just a found object that can do the job.
@futurebird You have one expensive bottle of liquor that has a medallion hanging around the neck of the bottle.

Good news you might have missed: Researchers in South Korea have developed a new eco-friendly recycling process that recovers more than 95 percent of nickel and cobalt from old EV batteries with almost perfect purity. https://interestingengineering.com/energy/recycling-nickel-cobalt-ev-batteries
