Gonna need you all to put me in more starter packs. All the Irish Culture Geniuses or Hot Literature Guys packs aren't getting these numbers up. Starting today I want in on everything; Korean Biochemists, Gen Z Quantity Surveyors Formula 1 Grandmas. There's no limit. Put me in.

When I and Howard Zinn before me talk about the unexpected, we're mostly talking about things like the fall of the Berlin Wall or 9/11 or the Zapatista uprising. But we can now add to that list INFOWARS SOLD TO CORPORATE OVERLORDS OF THE ONION.

For the new folks.

I'm old and have bad eyes and I need alt text to read your images. There is a flag you can set in your settings that will remind you to use alt text in your images.

Please use it.

So I sold this Taylor Swift Midnights inspired dice box the other day, but wanted to take a moment to commemorate the journey Midnights Taylor took on my TikTok page. I’ll be honest, 85% of my TT are mundane this is what I’m working on videos. But that other 15% is gold baby.

Never been more proud of @theonion.com than today. When politicians fail to act, it falls to the artists. There’s no better owner for InfoWars than the world’s greatest satirical media outlet. This is so perfect.

This is the energy we all need.
Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

Also, part of the reason we did bought InfoWars is because people on Bluesky told us it would be funny to buy InfoWars. And those people were right. This is the funniest thing that has ever happened.

Gödel: Fool! Starter Packs are extremely powerful during expansion periods and turmoil.

Me: We’re safe as it’s not clear I even understand what I meant as just up from a nap. Can delete later.

One criticism of this place early on was that it was anti-black. One thing you can do to help fight that is in starter packs. I know I have gotten quite a few follows from people adding me to starter packs and I really appreciate it! But if you are making one, please include the black and brown (1)

Got three silhouette ttrpg dice boxes coming to my shop this weekend. I think they will be stained a dark brown when all is said and done.

It’s important that we remember how to exist under a government that constantly lies about what it’s doing and what it’s capable of doing. Before you react and give the lie further validity in your reaction, pause long enough to understand the truth of the situation and respond to that, not the lie.

I love this story. Also, for anyone who hasn’t yet, read Hildur’s astonishing and spooky Night Guest.
My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace.

It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out.

Pretty fucked up, NYT!

The NYT Tech Guild is still on strike. Don't play the crossword!

One of my favorite memories is of night swimming in Lake Michigan at Nordhouse Dunes, floating on my back and seeing the Milky Way so clearly and feeling so small and hopeful.

This work in progress ttrpg dice box will be coming soon!
