Which of you sweet bastards recommended Play Dirty (1969) to me? @pulpcurry.bsky.social ? It was incredible. Glad it's getting a re-appraisal. Nasty, though!

Straight talk #TTRPG creators: #Patreon was once an ideal spot. It is now a convoluted, pre-sale-to-vulture-captial mess. When it's not randomly changing policies that cut my audience to ribbons, it's adding idiotic process heavy pop-ups that do nothing. Use Ghost<dot>io instead. Here's ours:

Parents, please check your kids’ candy this Halloween. I’ve just found an ancient metal whistle with the inscription “QUIS EST ISTE QUI VENIT" inside a Snickers bar. I blew it and heard a note of infinite distance, and now I’m haunted by a figure in pale, fluttering draperies. Be safe.

An excerpt from @shannonappelcline.bsky.social's upcoming book, Designers & Dragons: Origins, tells the story of an infamous TSR module and its swift recall.

This is some apocalyptic cyberpunk shit right here

WTF Letterboxd?! This is fucking outrageously ignorant.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️ As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike. WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

I would add the nuance of "gaming fora" instead of just RPGnet (though it was a massive gateway for many of us) and I do feel that for better or for worse, the current step may be Discord. I've recently discovered it and its quite lively.

Montreal and Longeuil police are basically organized crime, supported by the govt and media. Look at this murderer: therover.ca/the-killing-...

Somehow this is normal. A reckless, racist cop harasses and threatens Nooran and his friends for months before finally killing him – and leaving a community in grief and terror. When the community calls a march for Nooran, the police show up to terrorize them again.

Amazing reporting and presentation and such a dark story. These scam places are just one more example of how tech and elites makes us all victims.

Jumped on the War2 bandwagon last night and wow that was fun. It starts off so preposterous that I felt disconnected, but Mukerji steadily builds an epic backstory that gives everything weight so by the end, you really, really care. NTR Jr.s charisma and acting also elevated.

@dameshek.bsky.social does this count?

Oooh hell yes and I may even be where it is showing!

It's not quite as perfect as Sean portrays here (still lots of corruption and cheap concrete means some of the earlier ped elements are already falling apart), but this is still a great overview of the incredible improvements Project Montreal has done for the city.

@fantasiafestival.com delivers again with an incredible retro double bill: Night of the Juggler: not quite as hardcore as we expected but gorgeously shot and restored in rundown, lively '70s NYC Office Party (AKA Hostile Takeover): weird, 80s that went the distance and Michael Ironside at the Q&A!

Today is the last day to tell the City of Montreal how you feel about $10K fines for noise complaints An online public consultation form allows Montrealers to weigh in on a new noise bylaw that would increase first-offence fines for music venues by 566%.

@heedthecallpod.bsky.social one more reason that Marc Sessler should be on Bluesky:

This authoritarian thuggery has no place in Canadian politics. And it's no coincidence that the targets are women. Premier Smith must condemn this action immediately and call a public inquiry into the whole mess before this gets even worse. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

I'm envious of Toronto having The Fox Theatre.

All love and respect for Kevon Looney. He may be my favourite Warrior of all-time, definitely from the Steph era. Just an absolute all-around great human and baller. www.theplayerstribune.com/kevon-looney...

Comics are good. And Joe Palooka knows what he's talking about.

Finally saw Showgirls thanks to lamouraminuit.com at the beautiful but crumbling Cinema l'Amour. Man, that movie definitely lives up to all its reputations! I went through several distinct phases of cinematic emotion watching it.

Lu Dort wrapped in a Canadian flag with the Larry O’Brien is a vibe

I seriously think the Social Internet is 21st century cigarettes. Complete with secondary smoke causing a lot of harm in nonusers.

Road Warrior, took me downtown back when there were theatres on Market St so we could see it on the big screen. I walked with a fake Mad Max limp for weeks afterwards.

Watched The Bullet Train, the original 1975 movie that is the source for the new Netflix Bullet Train Explosion and it was excellent. It's 2.5 hours long that goes by as fast as the train is propelling forward, super rich plot where you care about everybody and cool scenes of 60s Japan. Recommended

Really interesting background on the challenges to Netanyahu's power; crazy and ironic that such an extreme "pacifist" minority group is enabling such extreme militarism.

Willie Brown Middle School is a San Francisco 6-8 in the Bayview District. For the entire ‘24-‘25 school year, I have been driving the 44 O’Shaughnessy bus that stops there right after school gets out. That trip has been the busiest and most challenging part of my working day.

Let's hope smartphones get legislated like cigarettes soon.

This and the responses below pretty much capture my feelings on the direction we have gone with technology.
