- 🎲✂️ For @ludologypod.bsky.social purposes: Does anyone know someone who’s got a lot of experience with jubensha (Chinese murder mystery LARPs)? As either a player, a designer, an operator? I’d love to learn more about them!
- Maybe @adrianhon.bsky.social knows someone?
- I have a couple of pieces on mssv.net about Jubensha that mention experts
- Well lads, time to wrap it up - there’s no point making any more Star Wars after Andor, it’d just be an embarrassment

- Do it!
- Almost as if it’s good when stories have an ending
- I’m co-hosting an event on Jubensha in Edinburgh on Weds 28th May at 7pm at the fantastic Secret Solstice Games – and it's free! The co-founder of KMS Games, makers of the first English Jubensha, will be our main guest. If you’re into game design, TTRPGs, larp, or escape rooms, this is for you!
- Towards the end of this piece, the author visits Helsinki's main library, Oodi, and is instantly plunged into an existential crisis because it's so beautifully accommodating and welcoming vs anything else she's ever seen in the US. I know things aren't perfect in Finland, but I felt the same...

View full threadGod yeah! I remember this from 2017 when I went to Helsinki Worldcon. It was just so easy to catch a train or the tram without having to mess around - feels like they actually want people to use the trains instead of the UK where you get the impression that they find passengers an inconvenience
- Yes, it makes everything about them so much easier, and increases passenger numbers and revenue too!
- Over 200,000 Ukrainians and 150,000 Hongkongers settled in the UK in the last few years, a big chunk of the net migration that Starmer says is turning the UK into an "island of strangers." I might be one of "the good ones", being a child of immigrants from HK, but I'm enraged by his comments.
- Someone who believes in diversity doesn't throw immigrants under the bus just because he can't articulate a positive future for the UK.
- One point that seems important to the visa discussion that I’ve not seen made is that it appears that the vast majority of people who entered the country on social care visas do not currently work in social care
- Between 2020/21 and 2023/24 we have added 230k care visas. In England, we grew employed care workers by 30k in the same period
- Is it possible that incoming workers helped make up for attrition?
- This is actually bonkers. You're writing a non-fiction book but you aren't sure whether what you've written is consistent with your interviews, or whether your claims are logically consistent, so you ask an LLM to check for you!? And you are the CEO of The Atlantic?! www.cjr.org/feature-2/ho...
- I kinda like this use case? I have ADHD, and regularly struggle with things he’s talking about. I don’t write linearly so there are sometimes artifacts of that, or, I might edit a bunch of complex sentences into a vestigial sense that *I* still understand but it’s closer to gibberish
- The problem is that unlike a skilled human editor you cannot be sure it will actually work
