Today's aesthetic: cosmic horror tabletop RPGs from the 1980s whose creators wrote the "madness rules" by simply plagiarising a list of disorders and their descriptions from the DSM-II and turning it into a d100 lookup table, except the DSM-II still listed "homosexuality" as a mental disorder (it wasn't removed until the DSM-III), with the result that there are several published tabletop RPGs where there's a small but non-zero chance that seeing Cthulhu will make you gay.

AITA for not considering time zones while making plans?

Everyone involved is in high school.

So I am a first time DM, and while most of my players are at least passingly familiar our wizard (A) is completely new to the game. They got to level two after the first session, and after deciding to hold the next session over spring break, most of the players went to level up on their own.

There was lots of scheduling conflicts, mostly people out of town, including A who would be gone for most of the week. I did not know where he was, only that he was out of town.

When deciding when I would help him level up, our conversation went along these lines:

Me: so you won't be available most of the day before we meet, is there any time at like ass o'clock you're available?

A: yeah actually I'll be awake and available at six

Me: Great! It's a date

I gave him some resources on second level wizard things, prepared all my stuff, and set an alarm for six in the morning.

He did not show up. He did not show up for the hour after. I messaged him on discord (our primary communication) several times to no avail, and at seven I went to bed. When I woke up again, it was to his confused messages asking where I was.

We figured it all out and it ended up being fine, just a bit stressful. I figured it was a mutual issue, me for not asking and him for not telling, but the other players said it was an A issue and not my fault.

So AITA for forgetting to consider time zones while scheduling?

Murdered children are being eaten in the street by animals & they're concerned about whether you're nice and sweet enough while protesting it.

RIP, "The Man of the Hole." We never knew your date of birth or name.

And after what we did to you, we didn't deserve to.

Despite the ongoing national reckoning over Confederate statues and symbols, Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina are nonetheless closing state offices this year in observance of Confederate Memorial Day.

(CN) — Don’t bother with your driver’s license renewal in Diamondhead on April 29, or your tax inquiry in Tupelo. State offices across Mississippi will be closed on Monday as the Magnolia State observes Confederate Memorial Day.

Mississippi isn’t alone. Alabama and South Carolina also recognize Confederate Memorial Day, closing state offices on April 22 and May 10, respectively.

Other Southern states, including Florida, North Carolina and Georgia, still enshrine the holiday in state law but no longer close state offices in observance. That puts these states in stark contrast to much of the country, where there’s been a major reassessment of the Confederacy’s legacy in recent years.

This is beyond inhumane. I have no words.
