Nothing beats a good wiki. Nothing.
Yes, I did spend most of my night setting up this wiki and also sleeving the #Starforged asset cards, and _not_ actually playing much.
Worth it.
As a side note, if you use Obsidian to do your local editing and keep up with things before you put it up on your external wiki, you might want to take a look at Iron Vault, which is a plugin that essentially helps you manage an ongoing Ironsworn or Starforged game. This is particularly useful when you just want to create the journal of play for a particular session or event, a descriptive page for a planet, perhaps even a point of interest, and then copy that up to your broader wiki after the fact.
It can save a lot of trouble.
Remember, prep is play, even when what you're prepping are the tools.

Hola! Por acá rvfeh!
Ubicado en la ribera del río maipo en el territorio de ngulumapu, vengo de otra instancia en Mastodon, donde me ha surgido la necesidad de incidir en esta para integrar causas interseccionales y hackear las consignas con iniciativas actuales para el desarrollo de imaginarios alternativos a la subjetivación capitalista
Desde un pensamiento y acción ácrata, veo la necesidad de ensuciar los -ismos que nos vienen heredados de la escolástica acádemica, donde en éste espacio pretendo contribuir con un granito de arena a la acción del activismo climático y del software libre, situado territorialmente en Abya Yala
Si bien mi autopercepción de género es cisexual, me considero empatizante de toda diversidad humana y no-humana, como también de su visibilización ante la hegemonia patriarcal que no está escindida de las categorias de clase y racialización
De laburo, soy un facilitador de procesos en salud mental, del cual no me autodenomino como psicológo (ni clínico ni comunitario) aunque esa sea el rótulo acádemico que me asignaron; más bien mis contribuciones pasan por aportes del esquizoanálisis y de la cibérnetica para el desarrollo de la subjetividad humana sin la extirpación del conflicto social

W5: Pillars of Star Formation
Images of the star forming region W5 like those in the infrared by NASA's Wide Field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE, later NEOWISE) satellite provide clear clues with indications that massive stars near the center of empty cavities are older than stars near the edges. A likely reason for this is that the older stars in the center are actually triggering the formation of the younger edge stars. The triggered star formation occurs when hot outflowing gas compresses cooler gas into knots dense enough to gravitationally contract into stars. In the featured scientifically colored infrared image, spectacular pillars left slowly evaporating from the hot outflowing gas provide further visual clues. W5 is also known as Westerhout 5 (W5) and IC 1848.

The image depicts a stunning view of a nebula in space, captured by NASA's Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE). The nebula is a vast cloud of gas and dust, illuminated by the light from young, hot stars. The central region of the nebula is dominated by a bright red glow, indicating the presence of ionized hydrogen gas. Surrounding this central area are intricate patterns of gas and dust, with colors ranging from deep reds to bright oranges and whites, suggesting different chemical compositions and temperatures.
The nebula is set against a backdrop of countless stars, some appearing as bright points of light, while others are fainter. The image also shows wispy structures and filaments, which are likely the result of stellar winds and radiation from nearby stars sculpting the nebula's shape. The nebula's complex structure and vibrant colors highlight the dynamic processes occurring within it, such as star formation and the dispersal of material.
The image is credited to NASA's WISE mission and has been processed by Francesco Antonucci, showcasing the beauty and complexity of the universe.

Dal 27 al 30 giugno musica e gastronomia nella Sagra del Salame di Turgia a Devesi Di Ciriè (To)
La frazione Devesi di Ciriè si prepara a ospitare l’ottava edizione della Sagra del Salame di Turgia, evento che celebra uno dei prodotti più tipici del Ciriacese e delle Valli di Lanzo: il “Salam ëd Turgia” in piemontese, o “Salàm eud Tueurdji” in francoprovenzale. Si tratta di un salume preparato con carne di vacca, lardo e pancetta suina, aromatizzato con sale, pepe, aglio, vino rosso e spezie, poi insaccato nel budello torto di bovino. “Turgia” in piemontese indica una vacca sterile, ma può riferirsi anche a un esemplare giovane.
Organizzata dalla Pro Loco Dveisin Festareul e patrocinata dalla Città metropolitana di Torino, la manifestazione si terrà da venerdì 27 a lunedì 30 giugno in località Colombari, in occasione della festa patronale di San Pietro Apostolo. Una quattro giorni dedicata al gusto e alla tradizione, dove sarà possibile assaporare il Salame di Turgia in un clima di convivialità, accompagnato da altre specialità locali. La preparazione del salame affonda le radici nella cultura contadina e nelle famiglie che ne tramandano i segreti, rendendolo simbolo di identità e amore per il territorio.
Il programma prevede musica dal vivo, spettacoli e animazioni. Si parte venerdì 27 con l’inaugurazione affidata a Sonia De Castelli, cantante e volto noto della TV. Sabato 28 spazio alla discoteca mobile Energia. Domenica 29 salirà sul palco Luca Giordano, mentre lunedì 30 chiusura con l’orchestra Enrico Negro. Durante la sagra ci saranno anche momenti divertenti, come il Chupito San Peru e la gara di tiro alla fune domenicale.

IT'S NOT 'LIBERALS' CALLING MUSK A LIAR AND A RACIST. IT'S HIS OWN CHILD. FOR THE RECORD." The text is arranged in a vertical format, with each statement on a separate line. The words "LIBERALS," "MOM," "VICE-PRESIDENT," and "CHILD" are highlighted in yellow, drawing attention to these key terms. The overall layout is simple, with a focus on the text, which is the primary element of the image.

in reply to Nonilex • • •Seems odd that we are backing Israel over fears that Iran will develop nuclear weapons, and yet we seem to be allowing North Korea to do the same.
North Korea is still trying to do this and it is taking a long time, despite being friends with Nuclear nations (China and Russia), both of those countries have I think, signed the Arms Non proliferation treaty.
So even if Iran were to develop a nuclear bomb it could take far longer to develop that alongside a delivery system that can be used against a target (e.g Israel)

in reply to Nonilex • • •Just months ago, Trump's Director of National Intelligence #TulsiGabbard testified to #Congress, in her opening statement, that the US intel community "continues to assess that #Iran is not building a #nuclear weapon" & had not reauthorized its nuclear weapons program.
While #Trump recently publicly disputed Gabbard's testimony, acc/to 2 admin ofcls with knowledge of internal deliberations in recent weeks, Trump's decision to strike was not driven by any new US #intelligence on Iran.
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •"There is no intel," said one of the ofcls…."The president is *protecting* the United States & our interests, [but] the intelligence assessments have not really changed from what they were before."
Sen #ChrisMurphy, who sits on the #ForeignRelations Cmte, confirmed…American #intelligence assessments on #Iran have not changed. "I was briefed on the intelligence last week. Iran posed no imminent threat of attack to the United States. Iran was not close to building a deliverable nuclear weapon."
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •The second #Trump admin skipped the pretense, opting to speed-run the #US into conflict, at a time when public polling shows that the idea of #war with #Iran is spectacularly unpopular with the American people.
In his address to the nation Saturday evening, Trump said, "Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity & a stop to the #nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror."
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •#Trump did not claim on Saturday that he launched the attacks because #Iran was close to having a #nuclear weapon - as he had suggested earlier in the week. "I think they were very close to having one," the president said Tuesday, as he disputed Gabbard's testimony to #Congress.
#MiddleEast #war
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •The #Trump admin has since attempted to recast Gabbard's comments before #Congress, because, after she said #Iran was "not building a nuclear weapon," she had added: "Iran's enriched #uranium stockpile is at its highest levels & is unprecedented for a state without #nuclear weapons."
#MiddleEast #war
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •…Across the federal government, senior officials & policymakers aren't pretending that #Trump's claims of an imminent #nuclear threat are built on anything but vibes, whether intentionally manufactured or not.
During a press conference Sunday morning, Defense Secy #PeteHegseth was asked whether the US had new #intelligence suggesting #Iran had been attempting to build nuclear weapons.
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •"I would just simply say that the president's made it very clear he's looked at all of this - all of the intelligence, all the information - & come to the conclusion that the Iranian #nuclear program is a threat," #Hegseth said.
Appearing on Meet the Press on Sunday, #JDVance was asked whether #Trump had moved to attack #Iran based on #US #intelligence or rather intel provided by #Israel, which has been attacking Iranian nuclear & military sites, officials, & scientists since June 13.
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •"Of course, we share intelligence with a lot of agencies, British, Israeli & so forth, but it was our intelligence that motivated us to act," #JDVance said, before quickly pivoting.
"The thing that I would really emphasize is the way in which the Iranians seem to be stonewalling us," he said. "That was not, by the way, our consensus back in March of this year, we saw the Iranians making some concessions. We thought the conversations were actually productive.“
#MiddleEast #Iran #war #Trump
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •#JDVance continued, “By mid-May, everybody in our intelligence community & the president's senior team looked at ourselves and said, the Iranians are not being serious. ... If you believe, as we did, that the Iranians are rushing towards a nuclear weapons program while simultaneously refusing to negotiate, how can we do anything but take serious action against this program?"
#MiddleEast #Iran #war #Trump
Nonilex
in reply to Nonilex • • •Secretary of #State #MarcoRubio was pressed on Face the Nation on Sunday to say whether the U.S. had seen intelligence showing that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had ordered the country to make #nuclear weapons.
"That's irrelevant," Rubio said, saying it didn't matter if such an order was given. "They have everything they need for a nuclear weapon," he added.
