Greg PakI've gone Mastodon-viral (over 200 boosts) a couple three times now and haven't felt the need to throw my computer into the sea, so that's good. Less context collapse, fewer trolls. We'll see if that lasts as the service grows. Fingers crossed!
Don't try to negg me when I'm on top of the world, I have the high ground, motherfucker
I don't play RPGs enough to get entirely personally wrapped up in this, but I know a whole lot of people who do, and it's been stunning to see just how quickly Wizards of the Coast blew off their own feet here. No one trusts them to do the right thing, nor should they. This is a classic "we're sorry we got caught" situation, and everyone one in that space knows it.

Rod HiltonHe talked about electric cars. I don't know anything about cars, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Then he talked about rockets. I don't know anything about rockets, so when people said he was a genius I figured he must be a genius.
Now he talks about software. I happen to know a lot about software & Elon Musk is saying the stupidest shit I've ever heard anyone say, so when people say he's a genius I figure I should stay the hell away from his cars and rockets.
The folks at Locus Magazine, the trade magazine of science fiction, fantasy and horror, are soooo close to hitting their fundraising goal for the magazine. The fundraiser ends tonight (12/15), so, an incentive: Get the fundraiser to $75k by closing, I'll write a Christmas story! Get it to $85k, I'll throw in an audio version!
