Also, because they're sending spam hot and heavy, do NOT sign up with Claimshero. Claimshero is NOT involved in the suit; they're predatory leeches.

Finished the storyline in WoW's Midnight expansion last night, and had a good time! Interesting story and a solid middle entry to the trilogy with some surprisingly affecting side quests. I just wish Blizzard would drop the "Get betrayed by the obviously evil guy you met five minutes ago" subplots.

Sometimes I get to write a scene where Caitlin delivers a world-class ass-beating to a very deserving victim, and it really just brightens my mood. This is one of those days.

If I knew viewing Guernica would put money directly into the pockets of a still living Pablo Picasso, who had announced publicly that he would be using that money to terrorize, harm, and kill women, not only would I not go view Guernica, it would fundamentally change the meaning of Guernica as art.

"Hold on, let me take a picture of you crying. I'm going to commemorate it as an NFT, and get super-rich! If you're not into AI-bro crying NFTs, you're just gonna be left behind."

A reminder that if you want a series about a magical school, the talented @craigschaeferbooks.com is writing one. It has three books so far, they are excelent, and VERY queer. Give your money to non-bigots.

Yes! Castaways takes place a few years after the ending of the Wisdom's Grave trilogy. Beyond that I can say nothing, yet, save that the name of the school is not a coincidence.

Woke at three in the morning from a dream of a nuclear war in the afterlife. Writing it down just to get some feelings out of my head and onto the page. Best I can do.

It's the final night for the Milla Jovovich Elusive Target in Hitman, so I'm playing very slowly and carefully to make up for my shameful failure at killing Slim Shady a few months ago. ...I promise, if you play Hitman, those words actually form a coherent sentence

Well, this is a new one: spammer negging my book blurb and asking me to hire them to rewrite it (with the power of AI, naturally.) Bonus: trad-published book, I didn't write the blurb. Bonus 2: their email brings up stuff that isn't IN the original blurb, because they had AI write the pitch.

This is giving me childhood flashbacks. Oh god, that's why I write the stuff I write. It explains so much.

Boy did I pick the wrong genre

As the saying goes, I want my games lower-budget (and devs less overworked), and I'm not remotely kidding. A game doesn't have to look like a Hollywood movie to be fun. AAA? AA? I'll be happy with a solid B- if you've got a good story and a compelling gameplay loop.

When did it become clear to campaign insiders that Kat had a birthday and was tethered to the concept of time? What did they know, and when did they know it? Tonight, on CBS--

Flowers in the Attic.

Does not feature disgusting sexual predator Vince McMahon, does feature incredible queer bicon Gillian Anderson

I never thought I'd actually miss the days of "I have a great idea for a book! How about you write it, and we'll split the profits 50/50?" We used to be a society

An art mystery! Photos like this have been showing up on utility poles around town because...well, it's Providence, and that's just how we do

Anyway, the other night, I go out in my yard and there's the Wurster kid, looking up in a tree. I say, "What are you looking for?" He says, "I'm looking for my burrow owl." Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick, everyone knows a burrow owl lives in a hole in the ground!

It's like that little dish at the bodega counter for people who are short on change. Take a future, leave a future.

"Feel"? No, it was literally established in a court of law that my work (and the work of thousands of other writers) has been stolen. It is a matter of legal record.

Tooth repair: successful! Also I can't feel my face, but that's not cocaine, it's novocaine. Honest.

I tried to push back on a follower of mine defending using "zio," got accused of being one, and then blocked. So to make it absolutely clear: stop fucking saying that shit. "Zio" was coined by David Duke. The way in which so many of you have so easily slipped into this kind of antisemitism is BAD.

It's called Dunesday and I am undoubtedly like the hundredth person to say so, but I'm claiming it and want my meaningless internet points. ....fuck I'm angsting about going to the dentist tomorrow morning. Give me this, all right?

Tomorrow is my followup to last week's dental appointment and I have to go in at 8:30 in the morning and get a filling and UGGGH I DON'T WANNA but also I know I need to and I'll feel better after I do it Honestly glad it's first thing in the morning, I can get it over with and be productive after

I've been in MMO RP guilds that had rules and wouldn't boot anyone unless they expressly violated said rules to the letter, and guilds that would boot anyone with rancid vibes. The latter ones were the best experiences I've ever had gaming, and the former ALWAYS attracted chuds

wow, you almost did the right thing, do you almost want a cookie for it

Hmmm. Steam Sale. I may be the last person on earth who hasn't played Baldur's Gate 3 and I'm tempted.

Your odds of getting roofied are at least 2:1, but you can't place money on that yet

I would bet cash that Hegseth has never read the Bible and has no idea what it says. His "Christianity" doesn't resemble anything that Jesus taught; in most cases it's literally the opposite of Jesus's explicit instructions. Genuine antichrist shit.

James' video is about solo RPGs, but I honestly recommend this for writers (of anything), too. He really focuses on the human connection side of gaming - even when you're doing solo games - and the importance of keeping your own skills sharp. The points about collaboration are so key, too.

I have an OCD joke but I keep rewriting it to get it perfect; just a few more revisions and

I think my favorite part of this suit is where the guy who was suing because Afroman said he fucked his wife said on the witness stand that he did not know for sure that Afroman did not fuck his wife.

Sure, it was a total waste of 70 billion dollars, but also Zuck realized it was too hard to violate people's consent in there and make the world an objectively worse place to live in, and that's kind of his entire thing so it had to go

I love finding things that explain the screwed-upness of how major studios get away with blatantly bigoted nonsense while solo queer creators get eaten alive by self-professed innocent small beans for creating art that steps out of line

It's the new moon! You never know what might happen today. IT could happen today. You just don't know.

Walked past a group of drunk revelers cackling like hyenas while one guy shouted "Dudes! Be chill! BE CHILL!" Dear reader, I do not believe any of them are going to be chill

I banned werewolves from my fictional multiverse specifically so that I would never be tempted to exercise this awesome and terrible power.

So, to recap: Marc Andreessen is opposed to introspection. Elon Musk is opposed to empathy (and is clearly a white supremacist). Peter Thiel is opposed to democracy. Alex Karp is excited that AI will take political power away from educated women. Got it. Cool.

Surprise! Turns out fascist billionaires call everyone who disagrees with them "NPCs" because they are (as always) projecting, have no internal life or concept of introspection and therefore believe that no one else does either. William Gibson was dead-on correct: the ultra wealthy are not human.

"Open the Strait of Hormuz. You may not receive the help of any other sovereign nation. Fastest wins."

nfts. duh! turn the oil into nfts and thrn it doesn't matter if the ships blow up, you still have the nft

I'm just spitballing, but I truly believe the dulcet tones of Michael Bolton, possibly backed up by Kenny G on saxophone, could help us here

Of all the daily spam I get in my email box, I'm loving the ones gushing about Catch and Kill the most. "This isn’t just urban fantasy, this is brand-level, franchise-ready storytelling." Well yes, I hope so, but the book ISN'T OUT YET so I'm kinda thinking you haven't actually read it

Absolutely fuck that shit Ronda Rousey is a transphobic anti-vaxx piece of shit and AEW hiring her is a massive, massive disappointment on so many levels. I am genuinely livid.

Cannot express how much I do NOT want Rousey in AEW.

friend, this is Marcus Junius Brutus CAESAR has declared himself DICTATOR FOR LIFE and MUST BE STOPPED can you rush a donation of ten denarii today to show that you STAND WITH THE REPUBLIC?

the senators recoil in horror as a wounded Caesar rises from the floor and a second health bar appears on the screen
