What's that, Alison? You're going to be onstage again? Yes! Book Club is BACK, this time guesting in NOT ANOTHER ISEKAI! It's exactly what you think it is! Yes! The Book Club gals get isekai'd into a fantasy world! www.jetcityimprov.org/isekai.html

Euph*ria is absolutely baffling, man. Female character arcs aside (!!) how on earth do you take actual supervillain psychopath nate jacobs and decide the most intriguing character arc for him is owing money as a real estate developer?

More player choice doesn't always mean more immersion. Sometimes it means the opposite. Choice gets the credit. Immersion does the work. New piece on why less freedom sometimes makes better games — link below. open.substack.com/pub/dannyhom...

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

Dinner at my favorite neighborhood Italian joint, the one with The Painting

Palantir are about six months away from ordering their employees to leave audio logs scattered around their offices

I tricked Facebook's algorithm into thinking I live somewhere in the circumpolar north. The algorithm figured out I'd been to Alaska, then started feeding me local posts, and I couldn't help but engage, and now I get posts from the Inuvik Muskrat Jamboree.

I think about this all the time

Arthurian nerds, I’m in the mood for a boy who would be king, what are the best Arthurian adaptations

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

The whole world will be your enemy, prince with a thousand enemies. And when they catch you, they will smash you with a hammer. But first they must catch you.

If you are a person who makes art with other people, no matter the medium, do yourself a favor and read A Director Prepares by Ann Bogart. It is the most impactful set of essays on the act of creating art I've ever read, the whole thing is a pdf, simply electric. taylorlhs.weebly.com/uploads/2/9/...

It seems many of you have gotten a jump start on your #MTGStrixhaven education! We're proud to be in the New York Times Bestseller ✨Top 10✨for Hard Cover Fiction. Congratulations Seanan!

Same. A gang of rooks did something to me today that I can only describe as "cartoon hijinks." One ran by, begged my crew not to kill him, and we were like "we're cool, have a good one." Then after we ran past, he and a group of like 5 of them fell on us like raptors, laughing. game of the year.

He really is a Magic player

RIP to my one true friend, my regal crown club card hanging out in the back of my wallet from 2006

WA state government has some of the best fucking marketing people, I swear. Like, obviously it's an important message, but holy shit did it make me laugh. (credit to WA department of health)

I feel like Sam Le*vinson and Emer*ald Fennell are spiritually, hornilly connected. Like they dated in a past life and are doomed to make complementary porn-adjacent films for the rest of eternity, one's The Idol constantly chasing the other's Saltburn.

I have spent the entire weekend celebrating Couchella; youtube premium, different friends each night, take-out of choice, and flipping around all the stages taking in all the music. I genuinely adore that Coachella puts SO much effort into streaming their shows, it's a great experience at home.

oh nooooooo. anyway,

"WENT OUT QUIET, LIKE A COWBOY." GOD THAT'S FUCKING POETRY.

Absolutely remarkable statement from Pope Leo today. One for the history books www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

shocking, nauseating, extremely disturbing if true,,,, people in relationships,,,, are intimate

TOP FIVE NOODLE JOINTS IN SEATTLE ONLY THE LOCALS KNOW and it's five weird places that opened last year that you nor anyone you know has ever gone to, in a bad way

I love Coachella and also not being at Coachella

remembered a good tweet

got a much needed long laugh from this

Really disappointed, my trusty kindle kept me entertained for hundreds of miles in the backcountry. Touchscreens eat battery, I could make it a full week in the middle of nowhere on the old ones, now I've got to switch to my phone and bring an extra battery. This sucks. www.wired.com/story/amazon...

The President is openly threatening genocide. A crime against humanity. He must be removed from office. The 25th Amendment must be invoked. If not, Congress has to do our damn job. Speaker Johnson, call us into session. War powers & impeachment. Remove this man from office.

days like today i get incandescent with rage all over again that he wasn't in cuffs and an orange jumpsuit and perp walked on jan 21st, 2021

The future of social media is a magic sword that speaks to you telepathically

It really meant a lot to write for Magic again. This year marks eleven (!) years since I started writing for MTG, and it made my day to see familiar faces from way back then still enjoy what came out this morning. Thank you for trusting me. ❤️

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

Another home run from Alison. Her ability to take these weird characters from a funny card game and make them feel like somebody you know, dealing with real life problems, while also embracing the fantastical setting to it's fullest, is incredible. A must-read in every sense of the word.

Doing the math proper and I think it’s more like three years, dang

with woodcock mania sweeping the nation it feels like the right time to post this New Yorker reject that, in hindsight, was way too specific
