a game of Eureka is likely to leave you:

- a distaste for cops

- a newfound reverence for healthy habits like sleeping and eating well

- an awareness of how close anyone is at any moment from suffering disabling injuries

- a respect for the humble seatbelt

- more distaste for cops

- perhaps some newfound feelings towards the monstrous

I hate so many of the takes I see on tumblr about basically anything. Even when it isn't about shit that just doesn't fucking matter it either strips all the context from the discussion or is fundamentally disconnected from the humanity of people being discussed or both. Or its just straight up misinformation.

I didn't use public social media before tumblr and I'm increasingly realizing how nasty it can be. This isn't actually a place to discuss things, but it is a place to be opinionated, and those two things being true at once brings out the worst in people.

And this is now another take on tumblr. Great.

Anonymous OPM employee posts the following to Reddit:

"I'm a current employee at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). This is a throwaway account for obvious reasons. I’m posting this because people need to know what’s going on at OPM.

I’ve been an OPM employee for nearly a decade and a Federal Employee for almost 20 years. I’ve never witnessed anything even remotely close to what’s happening right now. In short, there's a hostile takeover of the federal civil service.

Let me say this in no uncertain terms — OPM has been compromised and taken over. The very backbone of American Government, the HR of all HR in the U.S. Government has been taken over by outside politicals. In just five days, they managed to push aside dozens of non-political, career civil servants who were there specifically to prevent the civil service from becoming the President's henchmen.

The current Acting Director, Charles (Chuck) Ezell is a low-level branch chief. He's the friendliest “yes man” you'll ever meet. He never says no. It’s clear they pushed aside all the high-level non political civil servants who refused to do Donald Trump's bidding, until they found Chuck.

Under his name, they’ve sent numerous requests to all the agencies to collect information on gov't employees that they see as a threat to their agenda. Instructions say to send these lists to Amanda Scales. But Amanda is not actually an OPM employee, she works for Elon Musk. She wasn’t even properly cleared by OPM Personnel Security.

Our CIO, Melvin Brown, (also a non political career public servant) was pushed aside just one week into his tenure because he refused to setup email lists to send out direct communications to all career civil servants. Such communications are normally left up to each agency.

Instead, an on-prem (on-site) email server was setup. Someone literally walked into our building and plugged in an email server to our network to make it appear that emails were coming from OPM. It's been the one sending those various “test” message you've all seen. We think they're building a massive email list of all federal employees to generate mass RIF notices down the road.

The non-political civil servants here at OPM are watching helplessly as our government is being systematically dismantled bit by bit. Even the IGs are being fired to prevent them from investigating the numerous whistleblower complaints we've filed.

Please share this and tell the world that OPM is not the bad guy. We're just as helpless to stop this as the rest of our fellow public servants. Hopefully someone out there can help us, but it’s looking pretty grim."

Note: it has since been removed, but has been reposted here.

ICE raids are starting on Tuesday in Chicago.

Yell “ICE” and “LA MIGRA” to disrupt them. Notify people and use your privilege as a citizen to make ICE’s job as difficult as possible.

Fascism has been here. It’s just loud now. Time to be loud too.

I think its important I reiterate this point as someone who reads Orwell and has used him as a primary source; his books have interesting concepts at times, but calling things "orwellian" isn't separating art from the artist, and Orwell was a piece of shit far more often than he wasn't.

If I were to call anything specifically "Orwellian" it'd be like, when consent is manufactured by painting a foreign method of unjust authority as more unjustier than the familiar one, which is mostly what he did in real life.

It's called Orwellian because George Orwell wrote a snitch list of people he thought unsuited to working for a propaganda arm of the UK government because he thought they were pro-communist, anti-white, or had homosexual tendencies,

"Just One More Thing..." investigator Trait from Eureka: Investigative Urban Fantasy. Every investigator has 3 to 6 Traits!

[necronomeconomicism]

having played both as a narrator and as an investigator for @anim-ttrpgs' eureka system i have to say i think that eureka's approach to splitting the party has resulted in. SUCH a good tabletop gaming experience that im mad it took me so long to get used to the concept.

i initially really bristled at the idea of not seeing other people play as an investigator and at the idea of putting that on the players as a narrator but having (as of tonight) officially played both roles i have to say it just really works for me. splitting the party as a narrator allows for these delicious moments of tension where a character can be truly, INCREDIBLY vulnerable, as well as making it really easy to force the investigators to communicate with each other rather than the players. and while theres the obvious benefit to being able to hide things between players and their investigators, even just having the downtime between scenes where my investigator isnt present really helped me stick in the game without getting burnt out.

there's also just the bonus of giving investigators even more room to shine and have their own moments, which is so good. and character moments feel so personal, too! knowing that two investigators bonded and no one else at the table is aware is such a weirdly refreshing feeling and makes the relationships feel so much more alive.

obviously there are benefits to having everyone always at the table, but i think for a game like eureka it really, really works for keeping the game fresh as well as really allowing investigators and their relationships to form and twist properly. its been making me crazy. i love it so much.
