Today, after using coconut oil as a lubricant for anal sex for the first time, I've realised how many times I silently fart without realising. It's at least a dozen. **coconut smell**

You may mock British journalists for claiming to be brave, but Rafael Behr fully believes Jeremy Corbyn has the ability to give him heart attacks at will and he still shit talks him on the regular. That takes some bottle 👏
(To the tune of centrists doing the 'Israel is fine actually, as colonisation, genocide and ethnostates were popular a century ago')... Having lived through the War on Terror bullshit, as much a Russia should be opposed, it's nothing the US hasn't done.
As non U.S. citizens, we already make fun of the fact your national baseball series is called the World Series... Calling the winner of the North American Dune: Imperium Championship the "new Emperor of the Known Universe" is a whole other level of Americentrism. 😉
Dire Wolf 🔜 GEN CON (Booth 2402)@direwolfdigital.com · 3d agoA big congratulations to the the winner of our Dune: Imperium North American Championship: Robert Norman, AKA Exline! After a nail-biting finish, we now have a new Emperor of the Known Universe! A huge thanks to everyone who participated in the tournament this year! 🔥
#WyrdWednesday The great bard Taliesin was born from a magical grain of corn, consumed by an enchanted chicken! According to the legend, a young boy, Gwion Bach, accidentally stole the power of poetic inspiration from the sorceress Cerridwen. 1/5
Part of the problem for Silicon Valley is that they're a bunch of cults.

Yeah, ones when it was left alone without boorish ketamine addicts ruining it.

I've got something in my brain about #ttrpg players and parasocial relationships, but I'm not in the right headspace. We've all witnessed the rise in a parasocial relationship with D&D5e alone, buoyed by Critical Role and a few key others. But that pales in the shadow of Vampire: The Masquerade.
Lol, I wouldn't even notice. I have open source software, if I need a graphic or something, I find it open use or learn to make it.

From a Left-Wing agitator with a book to flog

This is the second time he has promised to help victims of grooming and kept the states boot on our neck. Never ask me to see him as different ever again.

Most Pompeiians lived in multi-story dwellings without kitchens and got their food at thermopolia, essentially taverns with ready-made food and wine. There is a fine fresco and colored plaster lararium - shrine - above the counter at the thermopolium of Lucius Vetutius Placidus.🏺 1/ 📸 me
Holy hell: I just found out Bret Stephens made an argument denying genocide is happening in Gaza. As someone who wrote a Master's thesis on this very subject, are there any editors who would like me to debunk Stephens' really bad column? (URL to alternative to NYT)
No, Israel Is Not Committing Genocide in Gaza
It may seem harsh to say, but there is a glaring dissonance to the charge that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. To wit: If the Israeli government’s intentions and actions are truly genocidal …

It was so damn depressing to watch every TV writer who was willing and eager to have open, intelligent conversations about their process get hounded off social by a combination of aggressive stans and belligerent wannabes defending the right to be a shithead to creatives
C. Robert Cargill@crobertcargill.bsky.social · 19h agoI keep thinking about the discourse from the other day suggesting writers are gatekeeping writing information for ourselves and I just think back to 2019 when every writer was out there giving away writing advice until one by one each stopped because social media blows and we can't have nice things.
An Israeli court has temporarily blocked a plan, cooked up by far right minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, to construct a moat full of crocodiles around a notoriously abusive prison that holds Palestinians, over concerns that the crocodiles would be harmed or mistreated.

A judge temporarily blocked the plan over concerns about “the expected harm to the crocodiles.”…

i remember talking to an american jewish zionist about israel at a bar a few months back. it started with the normal liberal stuff (netenyahu bad, complicated situation) but eventually she said “we need to defend israel because they all want to kill us.” it’s an article of faith among these people
rich traditions@helldude.bsky.social · 20h agoive been putting up with some version of this talking point for my entire life. barely even notice it anymore. imagine if i said this about jews though. there will never be peace in the middle east until jews shed their genetic propensity for violence against mohammedeans. imagine anyone saying that
Saw a youtuber call Contrapoints very British, and frankly....fuck you, we don't want her. Also, did her intensely Valley Girl accent not clue you?

What an odd way to say "they're right and I can't cope with that so clearly they're just mentally damaged and I am right." ... American liberals have some real problems.
I'm about to reboot the unfinished Miami Requiem game and my players would like to use V5. The reason I stuck with VtR? Well, a few, but a big one was 'I would never have come up with the Triumvirate setup for Miami in VtM because the setting feels too restrictive for that."
@yorkshiremao.bsky.social · 22h agoBut also...CoD was right there! The design choices made were clearly attempts to improve/open up on WoD's setting! Their choice to go back to VtM and try to keep going on with something that had already ended and pretend continuity was a choice!
A golden age of 'I read Playboy for the articles'. 😁
Playboy@playboy.com · 22h agoAs they amass more money and power, the public views billionaires as sweaty psychos Scrooge McDucking their way into evil amounts of cash. The collective ick emerging raises a question that wealthy men might prioritize over ethical perceptions: Have billionaires become categorically unfuckable?
We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.
Well, this week I start reading V5 in depth for the podcast. TBH, I've not really read it in depth before; I read the setting stuff and went 'so they haven't figured out a good explanation of Gehenna', read the system, went 'this is great' - and promptly ran a game using V5 but set in 1998.
