honestly I really love imagining Charles Bingley and Fanny Price finding their way to becoming friends cause I think they would have a lot of (largely unspoken, but present) support to offer each other re: dealing with coercive and controlling family members

The [Pakistani] generals' contingent opposition to Indian expansionism does not mean they are an anti-fascist or anti-imperialist force. The key armed opposition to Hindutva fascism in South Asia is currently being surrounded by Indian security forces in Operation Kagaar, and Indian mass movements prior to 2024 weakened the onward march of the BJP. To be sure, progressive forces and movements remain weak and fractured. And the pathetic warmongering display of India's own "left nationalists" -- the CPI(M) -- is a betrayal not only to anything resembling left internationalism but to the Indian masses. It will be marked in history, and it follows on their historic denial of the self-determination of Kashmiris and their open embrace of revisionism. Don't be them. Pakistan's generals' remains beholden to imperialist and sub-imperialist powers, while seeking to assert their own interests (and, indeed, existence as the key fulcrum of Pakistan's ruling class) regionally. The concrete consequences of this semi-colonial dependence have rarely been more evident for the broad masses of Pakistan's people: Painful austerity and contraction of people's livelihoods and social services; reinventing corporate agriculture and attendant inequitable ecologies of land-water use for commerical/export-oriented extraction against food sovereignty; the imprisonment and repression of the one political force that (for better or for worse) represents wide frustration; the broad repression and subordination of Baloch masses for extraction for Western and Chinese interests, and the imprisonment and repression of the social representatives of the Baloch masses; the continuing use of the "war on terror" to violate Pakthun and Afghan lives and livelihoods. The list goes on. It is one thing to acknowledge that the Pakistan military appears to have developed since the 2000s some of the capacity needed to finally competently do literally the one job it is supposed to be doing. It is quite another to paint it as the force against fascism (and imperialism?) in the subcontinent. This line of argumentation is not only wrong, it serves to reinforce the generals' fraying hegemony (i.e., mechanisms of securing active consent), and that, too, at a time when the broad masses understand India's aggression as a gift to the generals -- the excuse that lets them put fuel in their tanks. What we need, in both India and Pakistan, and more broadly, is an anti-revisionist analysis of the problem -- one that takes seriously both the problems of (1) tailing the standard lines of "nationalism"/"bourgeois-led development" and (2) of imperialism and sub-imperialism. This analysis has to be undergirded and develop in line with a serious orientation to and systematic groundwork with working classes and oppressed nationalities. This isn't about abstract liberal pacifism. It is not being against war for the sake of being against war. This is about identifying the conditions in which political agents have to collect the social and other force necessary to combat comprador bourgeoisies and liberate our peoples from the heavy burden of imperialism. That means not being the left wing cheerleaders of Pakistan's military.

It's so funny that the Iberian Peninsula blackout really didn't deter the racist Spaniards from still trying to get into fights with Latin Americans on social media after the fact, despite the whole, y'know, shitton of Spaniards that immediately went full The Purge and started ransacking stores and throwing food at people stuck in public transport and shit.

The base concept of the party we are attempting to build: It is a time of famine. Our main focus is on a pride of bastards. The king of the pride, an unscrupulous "businessman", primarily concerned with his own benefit with no regard for those in the territory he rules, and the lionesses who enforce his will. Regardless of motive, every character here will be working under the same primary motive: power for the pride, resources for the in-group, influence for their king. The precise means through which this is done and setting in which this is accomplished is very malleable, and we will be Fucking Around a lot. Does not matter what species because modifying what species characters are in most TTRPGs is a matter of just reskinning it.

The general aesthetic of what we have to work with: Very chaotic blend of pirate-y apparel (scimitars and eyepatches and ships and et cetera) and what we can best describe as "post-apocalyptic chic". We have no intent of actually including a lot of oceanic themes but the Miscellaneous Piratical Aesthetic Wear is easily appropriatable for our general aesthetic core. We are operating off of "only things that can be obtained in the month of January" for the petsite whose one-cub-a-day mechanism we are using to generate characters so this will be somewhat scattered.

Our selections are based on What We Have Already On Hand mostly from charity bundles, and pre-existing knowledge of modifying TTRPGs for fun. This is, functionally, a glorified creative writing prompt type of thing.

Links to TTRPGs already in the poll: Blades in the Dark, Beam Saber (Afterbirth of the Shadow King), Dangerous Times

A sudden blackout risk looms over America’s power grid as massive data centers consume energy at an alarming rate. In Virginia’s Data Center Alley, home to 200+ data hubs, 60 facilities abruptly disconnected last summer, causing a surge in excess electricity. This unexpected shift forced grid operators to scramble, averting potential cascading power outages.

With data demand tripling in the last decade—and poised to triple again—energy regulators now face a new grid vulnerability: large-scale, unannounced data center shutdowns. As AI and crypto mining expand, experts warn that our power infrastructure isn’t ready for this growing challenge.

I mean that in a non-serious, experimental way, but how about them switching assigned ship partners some day?

They could even make a romcom about it ya know. Like two couples fall out of love but fall for the other one in that other couple and then they switch partner and all are still good friends at the end 😌

I wished that's how ship break ups and changes would get dealt with in the industry. But I know it's often due to outer circumstances that don't allow a last drama / movie together. BUT these 4 + management could do it if they wanted to since they are all cool with eo 👀 It's just that there developed some dynamics here that would work well for an on screen work partnership ya know. Just a suggestion.

But after the upcoming projects of course! I am obsessed with SonicNorth as well too.

The thing is they can all have more than one ship partner it would be very neat imo. Like Nut Supanut who wants 200 partners. Topten could too. Like mother like son 💅

(plus: the whole Pit Babe cast is so potentially shipable all over the place, which is nice)
