They just shaved their moustache.

A variation of the old "I enjoy participating in gatherings with racists, but I'm actually not a racist" conundrum. A common companion of "how can I be a racist if I have a black friend" and "how can that guy be racist if black people voted for him." I'm sure there were some German dudes at the rally of freedom in 1935 who just really loved freedom.

It was a big thing here in Sweden when she died. Cancer, I think.

OK, I'll give you that but that is really minor. Sounds a bit like propaganda. See, abhorrent.

DeSantis seems like a pretty abhorrent dude with the abhorrent policies to match, with a strategy specifically designed to appeal to rabid trumpers. So, politically, it is like you are asking people if they prefer Trump with more or less orange smear.

I count that as a win.

I assume you mean heresy, @alanschu?

I'm more interested in knowing if we retain our tastes and interests. Would that mean heaven for one guy would be painting warhammer miniatures? What about a heaven for furries? Or BDSM. Or people who just love creating RPG rulesets. Anyway how does pleasure and happiness work without dopamine?

It's also why Jewish people in the middle ages in Europe controlled banking. They were allowed to loan money at an interest to non-Jews while Christians could not at all. Also I don't have a citation for you, but I believe the timing of the church realizing there was money to be made in loans, and the timing of renewed Jewish prosecution in the late middle ages coincided somewhat.

More fun stuff for Gromnir to comment on: The Clarence Thomas Cinematic Universe The post-legal Supreme Court By fun I mean not in any way good for anyone. @Gromnir

I would love to see what would happen if trump tried to run third party in 2024. It might affect votes down ballot too?

What the hearings are showing is the exact opposite. Trump knew perfectly well that he had lost and how he had lost but he kept on pushing his attempt to overturn the election for the grift/his hubris.

In that case I'd like for Pentiment to feature a bibliography, and plentiful notes for the optional depth of knowledge.

I guess this is a question for Josh and Hannah but anyone can chime in with suggestions for reading material. What texts have you been using as sources for this game? Any first hand sources for 16th century Bavaria available in English? What's the best current research about the area and time period?

Here's Elie Mystal's take on the case. Insightful thread.

More supreme court fun: And apparently:

I'm not sure I agree with all of this but it sure is compelling.

TLDR: Arming teachers is inane.
