America could wake up on Wednesday with all three branches of our government — the — Executive, Legislative, and Judicial — Trumpist. With this clip, take five minutes to ponder Germany’s memorials and the price that nation paid for being bamboozled by a bombastic autocrat. Listen to the heartfelt message of my German tour guides, for whom these memorials are like ghosts of mistakes made and evils allowed… ghosts that haunt their society still. These are the same guides who clink glasses in the beer halls and yodel from the hilltops with our American tour members. They admire America. They love America. And they are worried for America. If we vote for fascism, it’ll likely be won by one or two percent (or even less)…and perhaps just a few stadiums of people will tip the balance. And history has taught my European friends that the cost of a course correction is infinitely more heartbreaking after a wannabe dictator wins an election than before. We are all participants, we are all responsible, and we will all bear the consequences of our collective choice.

@TVietor08 Why isn't Maine 2nd district a house target?

Nice day to visit votesaveamerica.com/2024 and find volunteer opportunities near you

@guyinblackhat @KishonnaGray Constantine had a surprisingly cool Devil.

@asaraviapt @nell_do_well No but I really like the idea and I was talking to @BrandonSichling recently about it.

@nell_do_well Not yet, but I've been thinking about getting it.

@TVietor08 What measures should Biden consider taking to aid Israel with Congress non-functional?

Going to record an episode an episode this afternoon on the situation in Israel and Gaza. Getting some great questions out of the Pod Save the World discord, but reply with any here, too.

@KevinPetker @PoMoAnachro Oversized? Max-load?

@guyinblackhat I'm always getting in it with people about what immersion is or if it's even actually desirable, or possible.

@KevinPetker Not as much as I used to. In fact I can't remember the last time I did... But I was never a fan of balanced encounters. They're boring.

@KevinPetker Nothing. I do it all the time.

@SharangBiswas @labxNAS The list making IS game design!

Bidenomics in action: ✅ We've regained all of the jobs lost during the pandemic, plus 3.8 million more. ✅ Businesses have added 170,600 new clean energy jobs since Biden’s Clean Energy Plan passed. ✅ Unemployment has dropped to its lowest rate in nearly 50 years.

If you design games, play RPGs, or run workshops for work, this one is for you. Shoutouts to @Epidiah @jmstar @lackingceremony @liamlburke @sa-liberty/play-rpgs-to-unlock-this-ux-design-superpower-348e77e115ee" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@sa-liberty/pl…

@JoePostingg There's no 25% chance. It's a 1% chance, unless something changes drastically.

Sinema situation is weird. If you assume the Senate is cooked in '24 than obviously you should go scorched earth on her, but if you think there's a ~25% chance of holding it then it's probably worth playing nice.

*This guy* is complaining about "purple prose?"

@MuellerSheWrote It's something else even less interesting.

What's the "announcement"?

@novysan @JanineLiberty No! I never knew that! That's awesome. Explains why you know so much about water effects.

@JanineLiberty @SA_Liberty You know we did the visual effects for 'The Waterboy' right? Did I not mention this?

Just realized that my friends who like Adam Sandler and my friends who care about the Mark Twain Award are a Venn diagram that doesn't touch, so I have no one to say "Hey, Adam Sandler's getting the Mark Twain Award!" to.

@novysan Oh, it was. That was the best thing about it.

@SA_Liberty Like Vampire; The Masquerade wasn't just Art School Girls of Doom the whole time.

All contemporary, slice of life, urban fantasy or otherwise "modern" RPGs should be set in the "Liquid Television" era (1991-1995). I am firm on this.

You're thinking of beef jerky.
