The world is ashes, but you are the ember of memory, the spark of vision, the flame of hope, the warmth of community, the lamp of endeavor, the forge of endurance, the glowing edge of determination.
Any questions?

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

I love theatrical transformations! Here’s me becoming Drosselmeyer (or at least a Drosselganger in the Crackerverse).

This is really solid investigative reporting from the Sun-Times. And a brutal expose of Greg Bovino, the cosplaying tough guy who has terrorized so many immigrants in Chicago. Read it all. chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdog...
Greg Bovino’s the star of Trump’s deportation show. We trace his roots.
As a boy, the Hollywood movie “The Border" set the course for his life. He couldn’t believe the Border Patrol agents in the movie were the bad guys. Now that he’s in charge of deportation efforts caus...

Folks! We did it! The Onion has 60,000 subscribers!

We're that much closer to reaching our goal of beating The Washington Post's print circulation by the end of next year. (They were last reported at 97k, but it's probably lower now.)

Thank you all. Democracy died in darkness but we're still here.

This is why hating and mocking AI relentlessly and publicly is vital work.

The company said the moment served as "an important learning" as it explored "the effective use of AI"

Oh, man. Having one of those nights in which I can't sleep and have to write. Poured myself a glass of Buffalo Trace and am pounding away at the keys at 2 in the fucking morning. Just too excited to let it wait until morning. Some days are a slog, but some days, SOME DAYS, are what we suit up for.

there's a lot to hate about bluesky but the grossest part is its overwhelming censorious prudishness
Saw someone saying you shouldn't interact with NSFW accounts online if your account isn't also purely NSFW and FUCK THAT BULLSHIT.

They can adjust their settings to avoid nudes and porn. You do whatever the fuck you want to do you freaks 😘💙

Prince Valiant: Introduces narrative collaboration without the intensity of PbTA.

Outgunned: Rewards style and stunts over tactics and crunch.

Delta Green: Teaches that tragedy, paranoia, and hard choices can still be fun.

DCC: Celebrates wild creativity, unpredictable magic, and emergent chaos.
If you wanted to run say, four different games that weren't Dungeons & Dragons in hopes of showing people the breadth of the TTRPG hobby, what games would you run for them? Assume that they are sort of familiar with 5E.

Bluesky is rad. This artist rocks ❤️‍🔥
BE/HOLD became my top artist this year - literally the first time ever that Coheed & Cambria wasn't entirely my #1-5 top streamed songs.

Today is Bandcamp Friday - meaning purchases from Bandcamp go 100% to the artist. MORE ⬇️

My female students categorically rejected the idea that they needed to be wooed (pun intended) with romance games or the like. (One of my students was trying to play Pathologic FFS)

What they NEED is spaces and folks that welcome them.
