Warning to everyone: I clicked on a You Tube “Cozy Christmas” background-music video with an AI art image (my first mistake), and about 30 minutes in, I realized the Sinatra-y voice was singing AI *songs.* Not just AI voice but bad pastiche AI lyrics. Look out, and complain to YT as much as possible

I like how Carl Sagan praised original “Scooby Doo” because it is a show where the supernatural is always disproved, and the creators of Scooby Doo immediately said “F you Carl Sagan. We renounce your endorsement” by having real monsters in every subsequent Scooby Doo series

Audiobooks (including of course free ones like Librivox) are great. I can’t say how many books I have absorbed through audio while leaving my eyes & hands free for drawing

I learned to read using sight reading (or so I was told), so I’ve always been fond of the concept. When I was young I used to read super fast, the words (IIRC) entering my brain directly as ideas. Lately I sometimes slip into fast-reading aloud in my head but not having to verbalize them is the goal

Let the kids watch “Home Alone” with their cousins. It was fine but the only way this series can ultimately redeem itself is to make “Home Alone 2: Lost in New York 2” where the kid is helped by Zohran Mamdani

I’m fine with conservatives being pro Palestine in the same way I’m fine with conservatives being environmentalist or pro choice. Better to be right about some things than wrong about everything. And to the extent conservatives are more likely to listen to another conservative, great. 1/2

Trump designates the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization. 🤮 The same Muslim Brotherhood whose candidate won the only free presidential election in Egypt basically ever (in 2012), whose leader was imprisoned and died in jail, along with 1000s of followers. www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

Does Instagram mute art posts which also contain text? Or are my ‘here is some writing with a decorative framework’ texts less appealing than pure artwork? Or maybe a little of both?

“Talk To Me”: Troubled teens get caught up in a new party game & TikTok trend: getting possessed by ghosts using a weird artifact. This movie was ok, but not great. Some shocking scenes but not hugely original or terrifying, and the drug-abuse metaphor is a little too obvious.

A major source of dramatic tension in my life now is the very long slow process of trying to convince a toddler to go to the bathroom before they pee themselves. Chekhov’s Urine

“Pluribus”: saw the first 2 eps and it’s good so far. Happy that zombie stories (defined broadly in this case as individuals vs some crazed collective) are still resonant and popular, may they always be

One of my Arabic teachers told me the Arabic for “midlife crisis” is “jahl Al khamseenaat”, basically “the idiocy of the 50s”, a phrase I often think about for no reason

The grease in the air in fast food restaurants is just insane and it’s no wonder Junji Ito did a horror story about it. They should build these places so the walls open up at night so they can air out

Want to listen to me talk about the Dreamlands for an hour? I found this recording of a Dreamlands panel I did with some other cool folks at NecronomiCon Providence way back in 2019! Recorded by Legends of Tabletop and sent to me by Roy Viera, creator of Oneiros RPG. legendsoftabletop.com/4580/

It’s always interesting when non Lovecraft nerds look at the character sheet for Dreamland RPG and ask “What’s a zoog?” or “What’s a nightgaunt?” and I have to pause and think, what the hell exactly are these things

My niece & nephew used AI art to prank their parents with photos of some creepy guy invading their house. They’re both honors students 🤪😂

Something I have discovered playtesting Dreamland RPG… players can succeed at almost any roll by ‘betting’ enough on it, but I’ve subtly tried to create situations where players might want to intentionally fail some rolls cuz the cost of betting is so high. But players NEVER voluntarily fail rolls 😂
