after concepting a couple of balatro jokers based on the ones from storridge's definitely unmarked playing cards, i thought: hey, why not do the face cards too?

so:

i put 'em in! here are the files if you want to import them yourself:

if people are interested, i might do the rest of the deck too!

Yeah--not shown in the screenshot of the face of the complaint but stamped on the top of each page in the destination of the link is the filing date: 10/2/24. Utterly unrelated to booping almost assuredly, and also couldn't happen to a more deserving (derogatory) fellow.

uh oh! owner's being sued for worker abuse! get out the boop meter so everybody forgets

Pro-tip for actual play players: it’s okay to do the stuff your character is good at, and it’s okay to play a character who is good at the stuff you like to do. If what you like to do is talking to NPCs all the time, make your character good at that instead of having your rizzless bruiser sabotage every social interaction for “comedy.”

I'm not upset discussions of Sally Ride these days don't leave out the fact that she was a lesbian and therefore the first known queer person in space (albeit a fact only known after her death), but I hate that the fact that what is left out is that she, while part of the Roger's Commission after Challenger exploded, was the whistleblower who made sure the information for the defects of the O-rings made its way to Richard Feynman, who then famously, publicly, and on camera demonstrated how icy coldness (such as the cold and icy weather the morning before Challenger launched) could critically deform the O-rings used and keep them from forming a seal. This was also only revealed after she died. (x)

Whenever Sally Ride comes up these days among my (overwhelmingly queer) friends, we all acknowledge that she was a lesbian and celebrate what a role model she was not just for girls but for queer kids (and adults) too, but everyone is always surprised when I bring up the whistleblowing thing, which I think is damn shame and a disservice to her legacy.

Random goon: Hey boss, were you the one to pick that name as an alias? And why this one?

Red Hood : I used to have another name, before... A long time ago. But that person is dead now. I get to choose for myself now, they can't take that from me. I won't let them.

Goon: Huh.

***

Random Goon: Say boss, why do you never take off your shirt in front of us?

Red Hood: Well uh, I actually have that really fucked scar on my chest and I'm not comfortable with...

Random Goon: Don't worry boss, we get it, you don't have to explain yourself to us.

***

Red Hood, high on some toxin: God, I wish my family...

Random Goon (on boss-sitting duty): why not try reaching out to them?

Red Hood: They would never accept me as I am now... They wouldn't agree with my so-called "life choices". Besides, they don't miss me, they miss the person they think I used to be... I wasn't even a man when I last saw them.

Random Goon: Damn boss, that sucks.

And then the goons throw the Red Hood a party on trans visibility day and Jason is so confused he straight up cries.

Reminder that if Trump loses, he’s gone once and for all. He will have lost twice in a row. His initial win seemingly a fluke. He will be in his 80s next time he wants to campaign. Now two presidential rounds out. He is running on fumes atp. His sentencing is pretty soon. One last blow is really just what we need to banish him once and for all.

How do solar railways work? Startup gets green light for pilot project in Switzerland

Swiss start-up Sun-Ways has been given the green light for a three-year pilot project in the western canton of Neuchâtel, with work to begin in spring 2025.

Sun-Ways is the first to patent a removable system, with the help of EPFL, the Swiss federal technology institute in Lausanne.

“This will be the first time that solar panels will be installed on a railway track with trains that pass over them,” Sun-Ways CEO Joseph Scuderi told SWI swissinfo.ch.

The removable innovation is a crucial one since railway tracks need to be cleared from time to time for essential maintenance work.

Pretty bold of you to put your AO3 handle in your Instagram bio. Especially when you’ve been writing there for 10+ years. I would never. lol.

Skill issue.

I have no guilt in my pleasures and no shame in my progress.
