Journaling game fam: If one were to, hypothetically, assemble a zine touting the awesomeness of journaling games, what games should absolutely get mentioned in said hypothetical zine?

BREAKING: Sen. Ed Markey calls for Trump's impeachment.

Interesting that the Trump administration is laying down a marker that a military attack on an unarmed craft can be the basis for prosecuting senior government officials who supervised the attack in home countries of the vehicles' occupants.

I don’t practice criminal law, is it good when the judge does this? I assume yes, she probably wants to praise the AUSAs to their faces.

On this day in 2020, I ran the first episode of my podcast. It turned out to be a life-changing decision that led me to design Night Witches with @djackthompson.bsky.social, and therefore ultimately to my work at @leder.games. Also, I have made countless friends who have enriched my life. Hell yeah.

Drawing this was an incredibly stupid idea. Doing it with a bloody fountain pen was truly moronic. #inkart #handdrawn #skulls

They say you either die a hero or live to see yourself the villain. I say you either die a developer or live long enough to see incompetent teams take over maintenance of the software you wrote. (Needs work)

Hey #art

i wanna make some dragonball fan art and get paid for it. lets say 50% off my usual rates, 3 slots [email protected] for rates and timeline

Post. The. Complaint.

Two officers who defended the Capitol against the Jan 6 rioters just sued to block Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund. Check out their standing argument, it's pretty interesting:

Baltimoreans! DMVers! People from PA/NY/elsewhere who don't mind a hike! GameFace 2026 is this weekend (May 23rd-24th). I'll be vending at Table 4 (at the edge of that alley left of the bar) both days. Come say hi!

@radleybalko.bsky.social traces how the Supreme Court has systematically dismantled the legal tools Americans have to hold law enforcement accountable, leaving victims of police abuse with almost nowhere to turn. hubs.la/Q04hmc5Y0

I've been reading through a near-complete version our next #TTRPG book, GOLD TEETH, and while I am not exactly a neutral commentator I can say that @marshdavies.bsky.social is now operating on another level. Do not miss. You can still secure a late pledge copy: www.kickstarter.com/projects/149...

The podcast bros said they were supporting Trump for two reasons: He wouldn’t start any wars, and he’d release the Epstein files. Massie lost tonight for two reasons: (a) forcing the release of the Epstein files, and (b) trying to restrain Trump’s war in Iran.

Gov Jared Polis told a Colorado Sun event that his decision to give clemency to Tina Peters "will be remembered fondly." He was later interrupted by protesters carrying an enormous banner reading EAT SHIT POLIS coloradosun.com/2026/05/19/j...

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

not to get too emotional but deadass I nearly have DOUBLE the vendors who are/are likely selling solo rpgs at ukge this year. this is SO huge to me omg,,,, It also means i have A LOT more blurbs to write but im gettin through em 💪

Ideas started coming to me that were not attached to stories. They’re more connected to an alteration of my vision. Joni Mitchell said that artists are people who perceive the world in metaphors. I don’t think that was true of me when I was younger, but it’s definitely true of me now. 2/3

BREAKING: Rhode Island's Child Advocate went to the First Circuit this morning seeking an emergency injunction by 10 p.m. ET blocking Rhode Island Hospital from turning over patient-identifying information (including to N.D. Texas). storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Cops lie.

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

Who's coming to GameFace Con this weekend?! 🎲👹 I'll be there Saturday tabling with other local designers and selling copies of The Bonsai Diary and my other creative / mindfulness games. Please come by and say hi!

Portrait #art

The seven circuits to resolve the issue - the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 10th, & 11th - all agree that the First Amendment protects the right to record police in public. The 8th, which covers Minnesota, hasn't joined yet but very likely would. My piece at @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social last fall.

Breaking news: The Justice Department expanded the government’s settlement deal over legal claims brought by President Trump, adding a provision that would prevent the IRS from pursuing past tax claims or audits of him, his family, or his businesses.

Ask yourself: Why would a settlement over leaked tax filings include a prohibition on examinations of previously filed returns? One answer, which lots of people are missing: For years, Trump has been fighting an IRS audit that could have resulted in a $100M bill. No longer, apparently.

Above the system. #grickledoodle #monopoly #jail #court #cartoon #art #drawing #funny #humor

As for the judge’s inquiry as to whether Trump v. IRS was actually adversarial, the “settlement” answers the question. No remotely competent lawyer would have advised the IRS that the case could plausibly have resulted in a $1.8 billion judgment.

If you miss it, then in just over a week at UK Games Expo I'm sitting down with the head honcho of the Spiel des Jahres Harald Schrapers (noon Friday), for a discussion about all things awardy, and the shortlists in particular. It should be fascinating.
