Shhh...quick Sunday sneak peek of the 10th Anniversary t-shirt! We used the same art from our 1st OrcaCon and updated it for 10 years! Can't be there? We'll have the design up on our teepublic site once the show is over! Shop our previous designs here: www.teepublic.com/user/orcacon

So we’re annexing Venezuela for their oil. It’s British Colonialism in 2026 apparently.

It's this but then the exterminator sends you text messages asking for more money every 3 hours for the rest of your life

“Well… we can’t just keep filing impeachment articles all the time.” Yes you can! If the man is committing impeachable offenses on the regular, you’re acquiescing to a standard that raises the bar for impeachable offense to absurd levels.

Just making sure that 2025 is definitely over

I've started to see arguments that we have to get used to AI Slop coding even if it isn't great, because it's fast. Humans could go faster, too, if they're allowed to turn in stuff that only sometimes works. Such a fascinating double standard that will in no way come back to haunt, naw.

just want to remind folks that pushback and public outrage stopped them from closing the CDC library. i bet pushback will stop them here, too

Well, 2025 just gotta keep 2025ing. Got a call from my precious metals supplier that the metal scrap I sent in was tampered with on route & only the packing slip left inside. What would have been roughly $3000 in credit towards fresh metal & was slated for the next couple events.

orcas have the chance to do the funniest thing

Please mother nature do the satisfying thing.

If we can sell between 5,000 and 10,000 copies of OMENS OF CHAOS, we will debut comfortably on the New York Times Bestseller list, which is a very normal thing for a book to want (and will send a very clear message about what we want as a community). We won't, but a girl can dream.

And yet I'm going into work anyways.

I hate that Cameron who shaped so many movies of my youth has chosen to go down a path that means I'm never watching his movies again.

OMG this! So many old school jewelers did this shit. And then they all got old and still wouldn't share. And then Covid happened and a lot of them straight up died without ever passing on their knowledge because of some weird fear of theoretical competition. This is why I will always share.

Fuck

As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

oh no there’s another one coming

How the FUCK is it like a week and a half until Orca Con? #panicface

Here's another take on a song which has been running through my head a lot these days — "Satan thought up a plan Dressed as a man Walking the earth and since he began The world is hell for you and me But what a heaven it will be When that man is dead and gone." youtu.be/XDkhzVw0yBs

Jellyman Kelly had a good time with his new toy. Did miss the several times he rolled himself.

I like JKR in the same way that I like the Salvation Army

Just putting it out there, Cheetah And Cheshire Rob The Justice League by @nicolascottart.bsky.social and Greg Rucka has been one of the absolute best comics DC has put out this year. #ComicSky

As a GM, my favorite bad guy scenes are the ones that make players think: "Are we the bad guys?" Nothing is more terrifying than the realization that the true monster here is the one staring back at you from a mirror.

Creepy Balloon Vendor. One of my favorite @titanupthedefense.bsky.social episodes

Because of the relisten to @titanupthedefense.bsky.social I'll do my normal recaluculation of the cost of golden horseshoes (Teen Titans 37, TTWasteland 41). Average horseshoe 2.5lbs Gold price today $4449.40 Gold value worn per horse $3,417,139.20

Paging @rhicks.bsky.social

In case you can’t quite place the name, this is the writer of classic Trek’s Trouble with Tribbles. Let’s help him out.

jk rowling is to the queer community what james cameron is to the Native community

Thousands of baristas are still on ULP strike across the country, and we're not going anywhere! Stand with striking baristas and don't buy Starbucks ANYWHERE. Get that peppermint mocha (and those last minute gift cards) at your local coffee shop instead! #NoContractNoCoffee

Oh, I had one of those! Except instead of being about how Elvis was a groomer, it was every time I posted that ULINE was literally run by theocracy-craving disinfo-peddling fascists and we should all stop using their services. Think I'll post this link again! He hates it. refuseuline.com

they didn't need AI to make Silksong, it just needed some deeply insane guys to have a blank check for living expenses until their next thing was done, I think we should try doing more of that instead

Doing my annual-ish relistening to @titanupthedefense.bsky.social and I hope Hub & Corey are having a good year and know my ears miss thier shenanigans. (Currently the Titans are battling The Ant!)

This might not seem like a big deal but the amount of logistics to comply could easily close smaller companies. And in theory class 1 devices are required to track who they are sold to. (Not all are, but it can be required) which is a privacy nightmare and a scary way of creating lists.

Pound/dollar for pound/dollar, the good people can do in buying and wiping out debt (especially medical debt!) is astonishing, and it baffles me that more people with very medium amounts of wealth don’t do it when it would mean so much to people who are drowning

for all the bs that obojima is, they do not use genAI for art & have an anti GenAI policy. All their artists are credited. There are MANY reasons to hate the game. SO MANY!!! But GenAI use isn’t one of them!! can we focus on how racist it is instead? And how no one’s listening to Asian folks?

Roll For Tricksters 🥸🐺🎲 So excited to kickoff January of 2026... with a bunch of rad Natives doing freaking POWWOW HEIST with @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social as our Dungeon Master! This is gonna be such a hoot of a game: come check out the Live Play event at USC! Time to get our Native-Nerd on 🪶

I've been waiting for this!!

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.
