New category of commission available: I'll tell you why your app doesn't need stories
Yes. The inspector had previously told me they had loads of #problems from that guy, but of course very little could be done about it - #public #sector #unions in this country essentially make it #impossible to fire or even discipline their members, no matter how egregious, incompetent, or even malicious they are in the performance of their duties.
Of course, the bad apples are the exception, not the rule - but they ruin things for everyone.
I Have #Stories... maybe someday.
Day two of Knowsy Fest took place at the Churchill LRT station and featured lots of ways to interact with the stories we collected from Edmontonians who talked to us over the past couple of months about their experiences with transit and connections to well-being.

#ColomboTelegraph #STORIES Four New Universities: A Premature Budget Proposal For Cheats: By S. Ratnajeevan H. Hoole –
Prof S. Ratnajeevan H. Hoole
The Problems with Starting New Universities
With the 2024 Budget, President Ranil Wickremesinghe announced 4 new universities! While I welcome more opportunities for qualified students who have no university places, I am truly concerned that he is playing politics with money we do not have to cater to elections next… https://www.colombotelegraph.com/index.php/four-new-universities-a-premature-budget-proposal-for-cheats/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

Years ago a friend's email was hacked, and ever since I get spam claiming to be from her--let's say her name is Jane Jones--usually saying "Photos from Jane Jones" or "Notification from Jane Jones" in the subject line. But today it was "re: Jane Jones" and then a follow-up spam, "Bad news from Jane Jones," and now I'm thinking of the whole story one could construct based on the spammers' subject lines. #spam #email #stories

"Parisian Clowns and Peacock Crowns"
EXT. DAY - QUAINT PARISIAN STREET
PIERRE, the peacock with a penchant for the theatrical, perches proudly on a car roof, his splendid tail fanned to complement the Parisian chic. A boulevardier of birds, he observes the humans with a critic's eye, unimpressed by their lack of colorful plumage and flair.

I'm spending a lot of my time questioning myself lately. A thing that isn't remotely helpful when all I want to do is create weird #stories. It's an unfortunate part of being creative or being human really. That need to question it all and everything because things feel right and wrong and you can't quite let it go. #writinglife #amwriting #writingcommunity #creativity

With #transphobic #hatecrimes at #record #highs, a 217% increase in #antitrans #news #stories in the last 5 years, and #opening of two #regional #genderidentity #youth #clinics #delayed until 2024 is it any wonder that young #trans #people are #struggling with their #mentalhealth?
Rare case of a comic (ha!) story that resonates. Perhaps also because of #Vachss, whose novels pushed me towards maturity in the fragile age of 40-something.
So now it is time for a booster dose, I guess.
When all sources of "news" are so clearly biased that none can be considered even remotely trustworthy or reliable, there is no news . . . and The Terror descends. For decades, The Rulers have been using prisoner/slave-labor to construct Underground, confident that those who flee there will willingly trade their freedom for security. Now, "truth" is what the Rulers say it is, and The Rulers rule all aspects of the human existence. But even within this antiseptically evil world, a revolutionary movement is brewing. A new breed of journalists–"The Book Boys"–risk everything to graffiti the truth on Underground's pristine walls. The intolerable act of creating a reliable source of truth–"If it's written in blue, it must be true."–is against The Rules –a huge bounty has been offered for identification or capture of any of this crew.

The Tragedy of #Stories
Given the power of stories, a critical literacy skill today is the ability to deconstruct them. Thinking critically about how a story affects us emotionally is important before hitting those social media buttons that are now so handy on our ‘smart’ devices.
Stories that fuel the constant doubt and outrage online only serve to distract us. Whose story wins will depend on how smart we are.

In an update that nobody's ever asked for, #Twitch has now added ... #Stories.
Why? Who thought "Yo, you know what's the one thing I wanna see when opening the app? That's right! Ads for streams from last night that have all stopped being relevant hours, sometimes days ago!"
They replace a reel of clips that used to take up the same space (all of the "above the fold" area on my tablet), and which was just as useless. Just, you know, show me the streamers that I'm following that are live right now?
This is a perfect example for what we Germans call "#Verschlimmbesserung" ("making something worse by trying to improve it")
*checks notes* about 8 or so years too late to the stories party. And another step away from the actual core functionality.

Tonight's bedtime request: Yet ANOTHER story about a knight and a dragon.
So, this knight had a body that was very strong, a heart that was very brave, and a head that was very clever.
One day, his computer started to type secret messages to him. "Follow the white rabbit..."

"Can you hear me?" said the voice in my head.
"What?! Who said that?" I replied out loud, ignoring the stares.
"Oh good. I'm a symbiote."
"Shit, are you in my brain?"
"No, don't be silly--"
"Attached to my spinal cord? Are you going to control me and subsume my personality?"
"Don't be ridiculous. I'm talking to you through your earpiece, not your thoughts."
"Oh... What sort of symbiote are you?"
"I'm living on your phone. You might have to charge the battery more frequently."
Tabletop RPG question for all you awesome GMs and Players out there: how do you organize and track information in your games?
As in, how do you keep track of what plots are in motion, what NPCs and villains are up to? How do you organize your game worlds and settings?
When I was a teen, I used to make huge worlds, dozens of NPCs with their own character sheets, crazy-person™ webs of relationships and plot threads, maps of the world and each setting the charterers would likely explore, and so on.
It was awesome...and super-mega-overkill.
Since then, I've developed a minimalist index card system that relies on mostly improv and letting the players make assumptions or assertions about the world that I then weave into the established lore. It was inspired by the Lazy GM (DM?) and the collaborative history-building game, Microscope. I also use the 5-room dungeon / 5-act play structure for plots and encounters.
But I want to hear your ideas. What tips, tricks, successes and failures have you had in this area?
