Can’t scream “Mr. Rager” from on this bus, so I’ll just say: Good stuff, Mariners.

Saddened to hear of the passing of Rob Wieland. As a gaming writer for Forbes and organizer of events, he was very kind to me and my friends. He will be missed.

For tons of folks, there was that -one- game that blew the doors open and showed what #TTRPGs could be. The one that started the #IndieGame rabbit hole.

What was YOUR "gateway" indie #TTRPG? The first one that made you realize a whole other world was out there?

The Blue Jays are really good. They put up 23 on the Yanks in the first two. Their pitching is intense. They didn't play a game 5, let alone one that went 15. Let's give them their propers and exalt the M's season even if it ends here. Then, as Cal says, we might as well win the whole fucking thing.

A little poetry for today's M's-Tigers matchup. Dedicated to @lemurtanis.bsky.social, natch.

DUMPER AT THE BAT
By Mike Selinker

The outlook isn’t brilliant for the Mariners this day,
With the Tigers quite resilient, and but one game left to play.
Now the M’s face Tarik Skubal, with a Cy Young arm of flame.
With his heater, curve, and screwball, he could dominate the game.
We all thought, “If only Raleigh could but get a whack at that —
We’d bet money by the trolley with the Dumper at the bat.”
Will our catcher’s fortune wane or show the height of all his powers?
Dude, I gotta board a plane. Won’t know for seven fucking hours.

If you have a minute, do this thing for Jessica. It’s good science.

Hey all, I'm trying to get a baseline for how good people are at detecting whether fiction is AI-generated or human-written (most of the research on this is for nonfiction and my hypothesis is we're better with fiction).

If you have time, give it a try?
