  Everyone on BGG who sleeves, who make fun of non-sleevers, who insist on sleeving are doing it out of ignorance not malice. A rare case of Hanlon’s Razor applying. Not once have I seen them demonstrate awareness that sleeves are bad for the environment and that they cause diseases. I’ve seen them make pro and con lists and saying “for me the pros of sleeves outweigh the cons” and those con lists have not had how card sleeves make us sick.

  Here we have leaders who only a small minority of the population in “their” respective country actually approve of, and they’re perpetually “retaliating” by killing “one of them”. Or “ten of them”. https://idiomdrottning.org/empathy-exercise

  When we talk about solving climate change what they hear is akin to as if we would’ve said “Oh, why do you need doors or windows? Just walk through the walls with ghost powers” or “Why do you need stairs? Just stride up the clouds”. That is how deep their programming goes. They’re living in a completely cart-before-horse world where the economy as it currently works today is seen as the prereq for any kind of changes. Even though it’s in reality the other way around. https://idiomdrottning.or...

  Read’s chosen first name has been lost to history: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/A_General_History_of_the_Pyrates/The_Life_of_Mary_Read And now there’s a Magic card permanently carving that other name into the game: https://scryfall.com/card/acr/61/mary-read-and-anne-bonny That is why Magic should not put real people on cards.

  I also caught up with Deltarune, beating chapter 5. Not in a particularly completionist way (I didn’t explore every hidden room but I found some, and I believe I got all the recruits this chapter but I have missed some in an earlier chapter) and the story made me sad. Which maybe is a good thing, skillful storytelling and all that? But it put me in a bad mood all night after. Mechanically I thought the game was great. This might truly be the best video game of all time. It introduces new stuff...

  I do not own one single device that has both appstore and NFC. The Swedish police’s new electronic ID that’s about to launch requires both. https://idiomdrottning.org/id-1312

  Torkan på djupet mäts i indexet DC-värde, ju högre dsto torrare. Just nu är värdet norr om Kristianstad 600. Vad konstigt! Vad kan det bero på? På 30 minuter steg floden med nästan fem meter, enligt USA:s nationella vädertjänst NWS. Vad konstigt! Vad kan det bero på? Minst 12 000 fler dödsfall än normalt registrerades i nio europeiska länder under värmeböljan i slutet av juni, visar en analys från nyhetsbyrån AFP. Vad konstigt! Vad kan det bero på? Regeringen har gett klartecken till två n...

  More than four times as many people have died in European heatwaves this year than died in 9/11.

  Nu skärps kraven för uppehållstillstånd. Utlänningar med »bristande vandel« ska kunna utvisas ur Sverige. Det kan handla om obetalda skulder, samröre med kriminella gäng eller yttranden som visar kopplingar till extremism. Reglerna ger Migrationsverket ökade möjligheter att avslå eller återkalla uppehållstillstånd på grund av ohederligt levnadssätt. Det innebär att handlingar som i sig inte är brottsliga men som anses bryta om samhällets regler ska spela in. Vilka specifika handlingar som kan...

  Accelerationism is like drilling more holes in the Titanic to save it.

  I hate the phrase “Epstein class”. Yes, Epstein’s crimes were horrible. Yes, the complicit colluders need to held responsible. But ultimately capitalism is bugged and it’s not a matter of just putting good people on that throne. It’s not “Voldemort bad, Dumbledore good”, it’s a need for system reform and transformative justice.

  Regeringen har satsat över åtta miljoner på en kampanj med målet att få 200 afghaner att frivilligt återvända till Afghanistan. Gud vad sjukt att lägga pengar på det. Sluta bränna statsbudgeten på eran raus-hets. Tidö är sämre än sämst. Jag tycker att Tidö-töntarna själva kan åka till Afghanistan istället för att lura dit andra. Det finns ju betydligt fler än 200 tidömedarbetare här och dom gör mer skada. Hittills har ingen nappat, enligt Aftonbladet. No shit 🤦🏻‍♀️

  And today Swedish gov’t reported that they’re gonna subsidize the fossil-fuel–based air travel industry even further. When it comes to climate change, it’s hemming and hawing and postponing and cancelling and budget cuts and self-congratulations over future goals and then never actually aiming for those goals. But when it comes to things that are bad for the climate there is always immediate, rapid, highly-prioritized action including taking on historically unprecedented loan debt. —My liege, w...

  In the 1970s oil crisis, governments (at least here in Sweden) responded by rationing the limited supply. 👍🏻 In the 2020s instead the governments instead are subsidizing the oil by lowering taxes (at least UK but here in Sweden the opposition is already arguing for it). Can I get off mad world, please? As oil and gas are burning and oil reserves are being opened and nothing is sequestered and the climate has a fever, this is not the response I want.
