Linda Tirado. Help if you can.

I never got to know Linda Tirado in person. I learned about her after she, a journalist, was shot by a cop. I read what she posted on Twitter back when it was still Twitter. I saw a fighter, a strong and loving person who knew what real evil was and despised it, and never stopped fighting against it.

She's dying. The rubber bullet shot by the policeman caused too much damage. 

The world will be a much worse, shittier place without Linda Tirado. 

So if you can help her in the few days that she has left, please do. She deserves it. 

Here's a link telling how you can help.

Odds and Ends and Cartoon Frogs

I don't know the Pendragon games too well, all I know is that there's an interesting mass combat mechanic, and now there's this new edition of Pendragon and the mass combat is not there. Or it's not there yet, or it was never meant to be there, I dunno. People are strange. 

Genndy Tartakovsky plans to make an animated heist comedy about frog brothers. Sounds awesome - Genndy, animation, frogs, what's not to like? 

“This whole show came to me because of how quick media is getting. We’re all flicking through entertainment this quickly. And so asked myself: How can I do a show that’s fast and intense but is going to trap you so that you can’t click past it,” Tartakovsky said. 

Umm, Genndy, you already did it, it was Clone Wars and every episode was three minutes long and it was spectacular. 

But hey, the man's a genius, if he wants to go fast and intense, let him go fast and intense. 

Steven Pressfield's books on creativity are way to religious but if you skip past all that, they're surprisingly good. 

Gotta work on something. While I'm at it, did you know that more than a thousand people got All Dogs Go To Hell from LotFP? It's at 1020 right now, when there's 4 more, we'll have a kilobyte of people who either really love or really hate dogs. 

More to come.

We need to talk.

 I've known people whose lives were destroyed because someone lied about them. Some of them lost everything and recovered. Some of them died. 

When you live in Ukraine after 2014, that's how it is - you see propaganda directed straight against you, you learn that a bomb exploded at the apartment of someone that you know, you talk to people and you see hungry monsters in their eyes when they repeat the lies you've heard many times before. 

And Ukraine doesn't have the monopoly on being lied about. 

So I need to say something. 

And again, here are the links. 

Article interviewing people who lied about Zak, and admitted it.

I'm so tired of this shit after ten years. Ten years of watching people mindlessly repeating the worst possible lies.
