This would be a truly awesome thing to have in any RPG campaign where you need to weed out the folks who are getting a bit weird about gender roles or identities. (I assume your DM or equivalent has already yeeted the ones who are unpleasantly overt about it.) Like, for instance, the only stuff that will defend against that Level 60-Something Nasty about to eat the town is that Hello Kitty shield plus some frilly nightie lingering in the back of a dusty shop behind the tavern.

I totally prefer Peertube over YouTube - especially so since version 7 earlier this week. The main challenge is the content, but that will become less of an issue the coming years as YT will continue shitting the bed.

I never, ever tried Tiktok. Might be a generational thing - as I do notice it being popular for younger generations. Thus I am not in a position to even compare Loops - but I am excited for yet another federated alternative for whatever silo the new kids are using.

It's winter solstice, so it's time for my bi-annual reminder: the Arctic Circle is a fiction on actual planet Earth. From Ambler, Alaska, located 60 km (38 miles) north of the Arctic Circle, at 126pm AKST Saturday, FAA webcam pix shows the sun poking above the horizon. In fact, Ambler has 80 minutes of possible sunshine today. Because of refraction by the atmosphere, there is no place on Earth that has one day with no sun and one day with 24 hours of sun. #akwx #Solstice @Climatologist49

@douglasvb Assuming a flat horizon, on winter solstice you have to be about 50 miles north of the Arctic Circle to have no sun. Conversely at summer solstice, the sun remains above the horizon for 24 hours to about 50 miles south of the Arctic Circle.

Report: "We kill civilians & count them as terrorists". Units compete to kill the most Palestinians: “If Division 99 kills 150, the next unit aims for 200.”

Israeli officers say the army systematically shoots all Palestinians, including children, approaching the Netzarim Corridor - a "kill zone" that is not marked.

"After shootings, bodies are not collected, attracting packs of dogs who come to eat them.”

So this was something I've never seen before in such scale.
All those specks were moving across the sky for at least 30 seconds after I started looking out the window.
I'm guessing it was starlings (🤷‍♀️). A whole lotta starlings.
Glad they were pretty far off in the distance. Could be messy.

Specks in the sky lit by a sunset, the roof of a house lines the bottom of the image.
