Our roleplaying game:
- squirms with aquatic awfulness
- invites revenge upon King George III
- has diagrams explaining how wind works
- is now funded
- still won't pay my bills (but YOU could change that, maybe)
Please ameliorate my financial terror by backing:

Rockstar co-founder and former Grand Theft Auto writer Dan Houser has likened AI to mad cow disease, and claimed that humanity is being pulled in a direction “by a certain group of people who maybe aren't fully rounded humans.” https://bit.ly/4pDEfoN

"And you make a living from that? Wait, why are you crying? Oh god, he's gone foetal."
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

I just don't need to know what the Telegraph has written about Dungeons & Dragons. It's a newspaper for people who are frightened of samosas.

While we are doing stoicism in the face of horrendous wartime dismemberment, I was struck by this line from Aristide du Petit-Thouars's wiki page.

This book is one of my most cherished possessions. I'm too stupid to solve any of it, but the art was a keystone of my childhood imagination.
Images from Masquerade (1979) by Kit Williams, an illustrated puzzle book that led clever readers to a buried golden hare. This book was immensely popular upon release and inspired the genre we now call "armchair treasure hunts"

Looking upon one's likeness is always a little uncanny. But there is some awful radiance to those eyes. As if some creature had taken your shape upon the canvas.

Ooh, look what just arrived! Absolutely beautiful work by @ianmcque.bsky.social with @rossignol.bsky.social - looking forward to drinking it in later.
Slightly disappointed it smells of fresh print and not diesel and sea water :)

Not really the point, but why is Huang always wearing his little biker jacket? It's clearly an affectation, but I genuinely don't know what it says, to always be wearing a costume when you are an adult, much less a CEO. Seems as odd to me as if he showed up as an astronaut or Dracula.
I don’t want to seem out of touch but I don’t actually understand the economy anymore.
