To introduce my #ttrpg work to new followers (hi!), to document my actual work, and to fend off impostor syndrome, here's a list of everything I've published or worked on this year:
First, FLY FROM MONTGOMERY, a 3rd-party scenario for LANCER. A desperate heist on a war-torn planet!

Wild! Nick Collin’s twin brother is being sued for ripping people of to the tune of hundreds of millions and one of the people he ripped off was the meth dealing fire lieutenant who was arrested in August with an arsenal in his Milton mansion. 😂

Only someone who went to Harvard and was a presidential speechwriter could prepare notes for a convoluted, delusional address that was that stupid. Whereas my buddy in grad school said of Israel/Palestine: "I'm never gonna be on the side with the fighter jets." He nailed it!

I'm extremely tired of the way advocates for Palestinian human rights are dismissed as having only recently formed their opinions because of social media.
No. These opinions come from Millennials and Gen Z being more diverse and better educated than any generation before them.

American apartment living past the age of 30 is overwhelmingly either associated with despair and personal failure (when living in an apartment in 99.9% of the country) or unattainable glamorous living (when living in like two neighborhoods in NYC)

it's very literally impossible to have any idea what true American preferences are in this arena because high quality urban apartments suitable for family living with connected transport in safe areas are simply unavailable to the vast, vast majority of the population
Right, this is true, but the OVERWHELMING evidence of the past 100 years of American life is that vastly more people want space and a car than a smaller unit and a car-free lifestyle. This is mostly why the suburban share of US population has grown relentlessly for the entire 20th and 21st century
Some people put a premium on space in my experience, others put a premium on not having to have a car and not being isolated out in the suburbs

This is a point I don't think enough analysts grasp: there is no way, under the laws of physics and principles of math as we currently understand them, for genAI in its current product offering to break even.
Like, think about the scale of this. These companies are losing billions of dollars a month. They lose more money per month the bigger they get. They *inherently* lose more money the bigger they get.
The 2026 military budget is $961.6 billion. They would need to spend more than that.
