Thread.

Y'all have seen me talking about the Tanton Network (FAIR, CIS, NumberUSA, etc) and how it's created the modern anti-immigrant movement.

(If not, see @HMAesq 's posts about it here: hmalegal.com/blawg/category… )

But the Tanton network isn't operating in a vacuum. (1/n) The Tanton orgs are fundamentally part of a grouping constructed around white supremacy. Tanton's concern around 'demographics as destiny' and white ppl no longer being a majority in the US draws from the same well as groups like the Proud Boys. (2/n)

Sudden #osr #ttrpg thought as I was drifting off to sleep.

GP => XP works well for gameplay loops bc of concrete nums component of play, in a way that something like DW's questions don't (for me at least).

So for me, a satisfying alternative to GP => XP has to be numerical. Long story short?

Alternative XP idea of "gain XP based on (total HD of group x steps improved on reaction roll table"

(RPGs; CW sexual assault)

Genuinely shocked that a major, well-known figure in indy RPGs (@/skinnyghost) streamed a scene where he ran a sexual assault on a player's PC, and played it off as a joke. (1/n) This was an interaction so gross the players quit the campaign; it's been cancelled. This happened a week ago; the show was cancelled 2 days ago...and hardly anyone is discussing this. Holy crap, y'all.

H/T to EA for posting about this. (2/2)

I'm at the Rayburn House Office Building today, where I'll be livetweeting the Judiciary Committee's hearing on judicial independence and due process in immigration courts.

judiciary.house.gov/calendar/event… Image The hearing's going to begin in 15 mins, so still a bit of time. Four witnesses scheduled - the VP of @AILANational, the Pres of the @ABAesq , the Pres of the immigration judges union...and the law and policy fellow from the Tanton network's Center for Immigration Studies.
