Path of Exile 2 is no longer an expansion to Path of Exile 1 They will be standalone games with separate game balance, systems and future expansions. Your purchases will still be shared between both games.

Mastodon has just passed over 2 million active monthly users, a new record! People are voting with their feet. The future of social media doesn't have to belong to a billionaire, it can be in the hands of its users.

A quick reminder as folks are glorifying absurd hours again: 1. Sustained crunch mode leads to net negative productivity vs. 40 hr/wk 2. Working sleep deprived leaves you as mentally impaired as being drunk Working longer *feels* productive but it makes you worse at your job.

PSA FROM YOUR FRIENDLY PUBLIC DEFENDER: DO NOT PROVIDE YOUR CHILDREN’S DNA TO A DATABASE! For that matter, this applies to everyone: DO NOT EVER VOLUNTARILY GIVE A DNA SAMPLE.
Texas is sending public school students home with DNA kits designed to help their parents identify their children "in case of an emergency." After the Uvalde shooting, many parents now feel even more anxious about sending their children to school. on.today.com/3TBVGGz

Workers aren’t “quiet-quitting” to avoid burnout. They’re refusing to have their labor stolen without compensation. Idk why there are so many bad articles about this

This girl wasn't quite 16 when she was expelled from her all girls high school for being a lesbian. She was remanded to a psychiatric hospital for conversion therapy. It was so traumatic, she attempted suicide. The girl was me. The Don't Say Gay law could kill kids. Stop it.

Folks, I just want to take a moment to note that a lot of manatees died this year; a lot more than usual. Their deaths are primarily our fault. This is an objectively sad fact.

There's a phenomenon I actually see extremely commonly when literature is used to teach history to middle school and high school students. Let's call it "pajamafication."

Your annual reminder that Dr. King believed in guaranteed universal basic income that gave all people a dignified life, guaranteed housing for all, guaranteed access to a high quality education, & said that “no one should be forced to live in poverty while others live in luxury.”

“Over his decade inside, Moore said his list of other law enforcement officers tied to the klan grew. The links, he said, were commonplace in Florida and Georgia, and easier to identify once he was inside.” bit.ly/3pGYMgo

That's slavery. 24 people in Georgia were indicted for enslaving Latin Americans. Americans have slaves in 2021.
24 people in Georgia were indicted for allegedly smuggling 100+ migrants from Mexico and Central America and forcing them to work at gunpoint. Victims were forced to dig for onions by hand, with little food and reports of rape. At least 2 died. Suspects made $200M in the scheme.

Everyone keeps talking about covid becoming endemic, but as I listen to the conversation, it’s becoming more & more clear to me that very few of you know what “endemic” means. So here’s a thread on how pandemics end.
