When trying to view a notification on piefed, you can see them in your inbox, however touching on one to view it in the thread causes Mlem to sit loading, for ever. I left it loading while I took a shower to see if I works get an error message, and it was still loading when I finished.

I wish the load capacity on it was higher. I just purchased an INMOTION scooter with a 300lbs capacity. But I really would have rathered the extra clearance and tires of this one.

The project started in 1945 and continued into '46. But WWII hit Disney hard and the project was shelved. Over the years there were attempts to revive it. But it was not until 2000 that anything was done with it again, finally being released as is in 2003.

Moomin character removed from Brooklyn library exhibition after racism concern

A Moomin scholar finds the move "absurd", arguing that the character Stinky is far from racist and the decision likely reflects a lack of familiarity with the Moomin stories.

Yle News 1.8. 16:34 A Moomin character has been dropped from a major exhibition at Brooklyn Public Library in New York after one of the institution's supporters raised concerns that the character might be perceived as racist.

"One of their supporters had thought Stinky could be seen as a racist symbol," said Roleff Kråkström, CEO of Moomin Characters, the company that manages the rights to Tove Jansson's beloved Moomin universe.

The exhibition, which has drawn a young audience over the summer, features illustrations of Moominvalley characters and details about Jansson's life and work. But Stinky — known in Finnish as Haisuli — was removed from some of the large mural-style displays in the library, although he still appears in the original books on show.

Kråkström told Yle he was informed of the decision via a short email from the library and responded with understanding.

"We replied in a few lines and said it's fine. We see this as a healthy societal discussion. If such a change is requested, we have no objection," he said.

He noted this is the first time in 80 years that the character has drawn such criticism.

"Tove Jansson is widely seen as a champion of tolerance, radical acceptance, and inclusivity. But I greatly respect the American sensitivity around these types of conversations," he said.

The decision was first reported by Finland's Swedish-language Hufvudstadsbladet newspaper.

A few weeks ago, we received the first printed copies of Eberron: Forge of the Artificer. At first, everything looked great and met our production standards. But as time passed, a serious issue emerged: the covers began to warp. This was a defect that developed after production and wasn’t visible during initial inspection.

After reviewing the full scope of the problem, we made the tough decision to recall and reprint the entire physical run. No copies with this defect will be shipped to customers. This is a complete reprint, not a patch job—and we believe that’s the right call.

Fun if you are into Rifts, and like your vampires to actually be an alien entity.

Actually viewing that page on the desktop (I have been browsing on my iPhone via safari) leaving individual communities was much easier than mobile. Got the list trimmed, thank you.
