quote [ In Apocalypse World, when a player doesn?t know what to do they look at their character sheet to see what moves are available to them. In this teaching toolkit system, tutors who didn?t know how to proceed looked at the list of moves and picked one.
For example, one of the Agendas the tutors were given was ?Build a learning environment?. Some of the associated moves were ?Limit a distraction?, ?Set an expectation?, and ?Give specific praise?. Another Agenda was ?Help students achieve learning goals? and some of the associated moves were ?Teach a hard skill?, ?Teach a soft skill?, ?Design and play a game?, and ?Model work?. ] An interesting perspective on loose boundaries for teaching. Note that this is explicitly not some form of gamified motivation.

quote [ Two German students originally wrote the Historic Tale Construction Kit, with Flash. Sadly, their work isn't available anymore, only remembered. This new application is a tribute, but also an attempt to revive the old medieval meme, with code and availability that won't get lost. ]
A tapestry to feel and see

quote [ I bought 300 emoji domain names from Kazakhstan and built an emoji email address service. In the process I went viral on Tik Tok, made $1000 in a week, hired a Japanese voice actor, and learnt about the weird world of emoji domains. ]

quote [ The company behind The Handy claims that this is the ultimate handjob machine. Is it really? Come and see for yourself. ]
Nice to see more toys for males being produced. I'm gonna get one of these to try eventually. Probably when I'm back on the road and have privacy again. I've got a couple friends that want to try doing things remotely and I definitely want to see how the link feels between visuals in VR and the feel of being stroked. Plus there's an API and I definitely wanna try making a VR game that uses it. All about experimenting with those haptics. :D
GitHub - defucilis/TheHandyUnity: A Unity wrapper for the Handy male masturbator's web API The handy isn't supported by pornhub yet, but there's a number of them that are and it's probably just a matter of time before someone figures out a way to adapt them EroScripts - Interactive scripts community scripts for thehandy and other strokers.

quote [ A leadership PAC attached to Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to a mystery company that had previously bought copies of Cruz's book, according to recent filings with the Federal Election Commission. The expenses raise questions about whether the controversial conservative senator (and Cancún frequent-flyer) used those political campaigns, and Donald Trump's attempt to subvert the democratic process, to raise money for himself. ]
He wrote a book? He should try reading one first.

quote [ There are spaces beyond the World Wide Web where people are building a brave new world, and you can be part of it. ]
Meant to post this for some time ? great introduction. Since this is basically a reader mode web, it is especially suited for mobile devices. Try Ariane for Android and Eloha for iOS. There is a nice list of ressources (mostly technical, but some feeds as well) and a great commentary on platform elitism to get you started.
