In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

I have just been made aware of the contraction "etm." It stands for "Et Merda", Latin for "and shit". So you know, in case you have a lot of things to deal with on your plate etm.

Dr. Dastard didn't say much during the meeting, but raised an occasional eyebrow. "Intriguing," he said at last. "Right? With our combined genius," the billionaire smirked, "we can rule the world!" Dastard sighed and set off his DominationPlanEraser device. "Memo to self: charge this again."

The princess left a note behind, explaining why she ran away. "She disagrees with what she was taught," the queen said. "Embroidery and such?" chuckled the king. "Classic." "It's not needle-work she objects to. She likes that. She rejects the nobility of the nobility, and our right to rule."

How do you measure the severity of puns? A sighsmograph.

"Do you know where I can look up Frungal's Extractor?" The magic school librarian sighed. "That grimoire is locked away." "Why?" "That spell extracts your anxieties and fears and turns them into a creature." "Yes! To slay!" "In theory. In practice, nobody can slay the new pet they created."

"So, do you have a quest," the witch asked as she finished dressing the last wound, "or doing general adventuring?" "A quest. I seek a book." "Ancient tome of forbidden lore?" "No, one I read as a child." "And this dragon didn't have it?" "Alas." "Have you asked a librarian?" "They're scary!"

I had better see a record number of reposts on this.

This is the most sad and pathetic Moomin face I ever seen. He is like a wet puppy

"I wish I could do magic.' "If you have no magic," said the witch, "it's because you've used it all." "I've never done magic." "There's one spell most can do instinctively - turn back time. It only works once, it's so big it burns up all your magic." "I've never! If I could, I..." "Would have?"

The locals are good at photobombing.

2026 goals, revised

The Sword & Board has been approved by the adventuring guild to assign quests. Here is your first one:

"The Human's world ends soon," said the cat. "Again?" said the dog. "They are fond of endings and beginnings. Even if nothing changes." The dog whined. "Same procedure as last year?" said the cat. "Please." The cat lay on the dog's head and purred, muffling the fireworks. #CrossRepost

Discworld QOTD, from Hogfather

One of the recurring arguments I see made is “Writing is the best part! If you don’t like writing, don’t be a writer!” Sometimes it is! Sometimes it’s pure unadulterated glee! And sometimes I clean my house and repot my cactus to avoid it!

People with trauma histories often interpret neutral cues as negative. "You can come if you want." sounds to them like the person doesn't actually want them to come. Affirming that you want them there helps remove any doubts.

I know it's just base Star Chart mission alerts, while I'm going in with my strong builds, while other players are likely not, but... These numbers feel good. Uriel with Acid Shells Sobek fun as heck.

"GenAI lets me be creative!" I'm reminded of a line from a Mercedes Lackey book, "you don't want to write, you want to have written". They want the adulation, imagined or otherwise, without the effort or work.

Invisible collar.

The original shiptember colur-scheme for this one was a little plain. This one pops more and the decal compliments the biomechanical nature of the aircraft.

Thoroughly enjoying the new frame in Warframe. I just have ONE issue with it. I am very fast when flying, I just wish I could see HOW fast from "outside".

FFXIV Dawntrail contained a rare instance of an antagonist who knows the power of Skip Cutscene. "What mysteries could sleep within the lost city of gold?" - > [Skip] -> "MY LIEGE, THE LASER FLEET AWAITS YOUR ORDERS."

VB likes to think he's hot stuff and talks a big talk, but he's a delusional pushover and as soft as room temperature butter, especially when someone as big as Rodney confronts his bullshit. Sketch-page for @cogsbreak.bsky.social !

Clinomania [KLIN-oh-MAY-nee-yuh] (n.) - An excessive desire to lie down and stay in bed; morbid sleepiness.

also goes for writing software. y'all know im legit because i won't shut the fuck up about it

"Hello, I'm here to order a Robotic Partner." "Ah, welcome. Please fill in this form." "Sure, for body options and features, right? Let's see... One of those, definitely. Hm. What's this 'Do you expect to be obeyed?' For that money, of course I do!" "Then we cannot help you. We only do partners."

The inscription on the blade shone silvery. "Justice," the maid read. "Are you an enchanted butterknife?" "Yes." She almost dropped it. "You are?" "For centuries, none who held me sought justice. I took this form to hide." It grew in her hand. She hefted the sword. "Hm. Not sure you can help."

Had an idea for a character on the way home, a sort of reverse mimic named "Lack". Whatever you have, they lack.

The architect tried to keep doubt from her face. "These are very interesting ideas, your majesty." The emperor smiled. "Thank you, I think there's a good variety of traps." "And the sign?" "Yes, 'Grave robbers welcome'. Definitely." "And you will be buried-" "In the garden, outside the tomb."
