Dungeons & Dragons, stories involving cruelty and slavery
One of my pandemic hobbies was being D&D 5th Edition DM, though I'm not playing much anymore. I wrote and playtested a book of six adventures, complete with maps and dialog. If you're looking for a free module to play, I would love it if you got some use out of all this work I did. CW, it's a dark story. But even if you don't like the story, most of these adventures can still be run standalone:

one of my favorite new ubiquitous bullshit marketing tropes is when corporations tell you "it's time to <something>". It's time for you to tell me your mobile number. We don't make the rules, this is part of God's plan. We cannot change the way of the universe, we just have to collect your personal information now. It is Ordained.

I don’t understand the attraction of being able to talk to computers using breezy casual conversational language; I’ve been telling these little digital bastards what to do for decades using extremely precise formalised language and they still get it wrong

i'm weird because i don't want a crappy ML bot to write code for me. writing code and figuring out how to make it work is the fun part of my job!
make the bots do meetings instead!
At FC this year I saw about five different close friends who i really wanted to say hi to, give a hug to. i hadn't seen them in years. But even so, I felt like I shouldn't approach, or that it wasn't my place, or that it wouldn't be appreciated, or would they even remember me at this point? So I clammed and hid behind my mask instead, and I really regret it now. Not loving what the pandemic has done to what little social courage I had.

If love is not an option for you today, at least may your enemies suffer

I cannot keep this to myself. There is a website (radio.garden) where you can listen to radio stations all over the world for free. No log in. No email address. Nothing.
When the site loads, you are looking at the globe. Slide the little white circle over the green dots (each green dot is a radio station) until you find one you like.
I have been listening to this station in the Netherlands and it absolutely slaps. I have no idea what they're saying but the music is fantastic.

and honestly, where is the lie

Budapest public transport has a tram with see-through panels so people can peek into the mechanics of how the tram works. They even have signs explaining parts.
It's pretty fun. Every time I catch it I love to watch people marveling at it, kids and adults alike. 😄

Hiya! I'm doing a bit of user research for a personal project, about how you organize your digital photos. I'd love it if you would take a couple minutes to fill out my anonymous survey!
(all questions optional, skip as much of it as you like.)

tech industry layoffs
everything in this article is obvious if you've been following the trend of worker organizing in tech the past few years, but it's notable because it's literally the only piece of reporting I've seen so far that actually goes beyond credulously repeating CEOs' talking points to examine what's really going on
it's not about the economy, it's about reminding workers that they work at the pleasure of the bosses and putting fear back into the equation
