Threatened attacks on synagogues in Alabama and surrounding states were thwarted when Jeremy Wayne Shoemaker, 33, was arrested with a suitcase full of ammunition, body armor and other items, officials said Tuesday.
The arrest comes as antisemitic sentiment and attacks have surged globally.
A car ramming and stabbing attack outside a synagogue left two dead in Manchester, England, earlier this month,
less than two weeks after a late-night fire was set at a synagogue in Florid…

when i was younger, id basically dm an rpg with my little brothers. all my system was: describing shit, guessing how likely it was they could do something on a six-sided-dice-stolen-from-a-board-game-scale, occasionally bothering to record their items and state on a piece of paper but mostly not even that. to this day this has been infinitely superior to every single rpg system i have ever touched.

One thing I've taken note of is people are outraged about news items that I don't react to at all.
Both consciously and unconsciously I turn away from some news items because quite frankly, I experience both outrage and empathy fatigue. To protect my mental well-being, there's some topics I turn away from.
Part of this is my natural tendency to prefer to become very informed about a topic before I weigh in.

Watching Ball x Pit and its auto selected stat upgrades makes me wonder is there a game where you pick up items that feed into the next chosen stat upgrade? Like you're picking up votes and if you want to lean into Agility you need to avoid Strength?
Maybe the number of total votes you pickup doesn't matter so there's no incentive to get them all and it becomes a bit bullet hell to avoid stats you're not maxing?
