AYFKM? While Bluesky began as an invite-only network, its retained its distinct identity because *it doesn't have an algorithm promoting the worst people on the Internet*, like all those other places Blueskiers fled from. If Bluesky becomes like them, well, we're ready to depart for Mastodon.

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

We hit the More Art stretch goal! Next up: More Money For Artists! I’m under contract with all three artists & they will be paid; if I hit the $24k stretch goal, I’ll give them each a bonus! In an age of shady corporations using AI, I’m excited to give more money to actual artists, & you can help!

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

Ok, this is getting to be the dash to the finish. Hitting the stretch goals for More Art, More Money for Artists, and More Ways To Play would rule. Let's take a look at the Risk Sheet and the Dice. I'll set the scene and you'll help with the choices. Good? #PsiRun2e #ttrpg #PBTA

2nd July 1863. Battle of Gettysburg. For perhaps the only time in the entire war the Confederates seem to be winning. Dan Sickles, commander III Corps, is ordered hold on Cemetery Ridge. For reasons unknown he advances. Broken, his men begin to flee. This is the moment on which the war depends /1
