2025-07-17 14:17:04 +0000 UTCPer Riley's Twitter (@raaleh), Shadow Doge is in draft form and has been playtested at least three times - he has posted photos from two of these playtests. He posted the most recent playtest image today (July 16, 2025) and said: "We are getting dangerously close to this being entirely real. The rule changes between this and the next play test are all minor and related to balancing. That means after one more, we should be ready to open it up to friends and family, and then we'll start getting quotes from [graphic] designers and printers."

2025-07-17 02:11:05 +0000 UTCJust as a nota bene, by coincidence my book review podcast wizards versus lesbians chose the 17th Aubrey Maturin book to cover, because it features Irish autism-curing powers. That episode is coming out in a month or so if anybody is interested, with the excellent SF author Isaac Fellman as our guest

2025-07-15 21:03:34 +0000 UTCI think I saw today that Trump kept the trophy and gave Chelsea a fake.

2025-07-15 20:48:52 +0000 UTCOh wow I wonder how crazy it is for the description to warn us about Milo/Nova/Hussein going insane. Will report back after I finish
jonah hoff
2025-07-15 20:20:00 +0000 UTCImportant to mention that Trump still has the original trophy. The orb he gave to Chelsea is a replica. He didn't have to give up the orb he was just acting like that because he was at another kid's birthday and was sad he wasn't getting any toys.

2025-07-15 17:47:10 +0000 UTCMilo calling the Epstein files Trump’s first coverup is kind of insane. But that was blown out of the water by November saying that Trump has “become Joe Biden” for reasons she doesn’t understand. “[Trump] is a widely hated, increasingly doddering, pro war sex criminal. […] And I don’t know how that happened.” What the fuck are you talking about? Those statements are as true now as they were at the time of the election. You guys used to pretend that Joe Biden was the old one and that wasn’t a problem for Trump, but you understand how time works, right? November may as well have said Trump’s gotten older and no one knows how. Not a great EP, I ran out of patience before the interview.

2025-07-15 16:08:26 +0000 UTCThis MAGA base split with Trump over the Epstein stuff is going to fall off, because the base only cares about Trump continuing to do the racism et al. As much as they say otherwise, they’re perfectly fine with pedophiles as long as they hurt the right people.

2025-07-15 16:07:01 +0000 UTCI am getting big charity shop tyrant vibes from this industrial dispute. There seems to be a certain type of person, who quickly see their organization as their fiefdom and quickly lose sight of their ostensible aims.

2025-07-15 16:06:48 +0000 UTCOut of curiosity, anyone here ever see the film "Cold Comfort Farm". Pretty good movie, but notably it features lots of Kate Beckinsale saying "The golden orb..." in voiceover, if that's your thing.

2025-07-15 15:01:39 +0000 UTCI was just gonna point that out. The reporting is that he’s keeping the original, and they made a replica for Chelsea. How does he keep getting away with this shit?!?
