Careful, Netrunner ruined other card games for me. Because it's so good.

Before I log off for Offline April, I have to ask … (Project Hail Mary spoilers) Stratt definitely blew up the two science officers because she knew Grace was the best chance Earth had at solving the problem, right?

"trans ideology is a sickness." [reads the news] "people's personal affairs are none of our business and we should talk about immigration"

The TikTok algorithm is dangerous, if only because it notices I have ADHD and starts showing my videos on making stained glass and cyber decks.

Hahahaha. Dickheads.

also nobody in the history of cinema has ever gone as hard as John Leguizamo did as Tybalt

National borders kill people on either side at exorbitant rates; they are a cruel luxury of kings and tycoons that the human beings of earth can no longer afford.

Why should anyone bother playing a game nobody could be bothered to make?

Uggggh... With AI's implosion starting already, I should really be ready to stock up on ram and a new GPU at fire-sale prices when they flood the e-waste market, right? My media server definitely needs 512GB of ram and four GPUs.

Everyone is celebrating this because it's good. But it’s important to remember it's also funny.

LOL LMAO This took, like, five minutes??

Does anyone else get weepy at the smallest things when they’re sick? I’m not even feeling bad enough to be mopey about it, and it tends to be like, happy/sentimental stuff that gets me teary, but yeeeeeeesh.

Parked next to those car at chipotle yesterday. She got in to leave and I got her attention, then gave her the 20 ICE whistles I had in my car. She was so excited. I love it. Fuck ICE.

Happy to be getting an extra month of use out of my pool this year. Not looking forward to an extra month of AC electrical bill.

I was arguing with my dad the other day about the SAVE Act, and he was like “well nuh uh” because that’s his MO. I was leaving and I flippantly said “well I’m not too worried. It’s going to be a net win for liberals anyway. Who’s more likely to keep their maiden name and have a passport?” 1/2

I heard there was a secret cord that David kept in his cable hoard but he can never find it when he needs it

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

Keep conservatives in your hearts today, as their number of actual celebrities anyone has ever heard of just dropped by about 25%

Hmmm... I just spent a bunch of time making a fundraising video for our swim club, and I can feel myself being pulled back into video editing (and kind of love it?) Because I definitely need another unpaid hobby.

I hope this makes sense, but: If you know what I mean (and especially if have an answer off the top of your head) when I ask “what is your bleedout song?”, you should play I Am Your Beast.

Gen Z is going to be so confused today.

"I find her views distasteful, but not as distasteful as passing on a big pile of money."

Yup. Sorry fam. Love Firefly but I'm not going anywhere near a production involving Adam Baldwin. The last thing he needs is a shiny new platform from which to harass marginalized people.

Fishwise is the dumbest shit. It is *so* expensive and completely average canned fish.

As someone with a "how hard can it be? I'm sure I can figure it out" mindset, I have to remind myself to sometimes turn down requests for assistance that I'm not familiar with but could definitely figure out. Could I figure out a google form? Absolutely. Will I? Not today.

It’s really disappointing how many ppl are still not getting that whether he is lying or believes his own BS is immaterial. Either should exclude him from office, in the context of a nation with our history and present. 🤷‍♂️

Being a grownup is getting way too excited about replacing the rollers in your sliding screen door so now it slides smooth as butter. 🤤

I’m definitely not up on AI news, but I’ve been thinking … models training on AI-generated content is a known problem that causes severe issues … AI companies have to be (secretly?) watermarking output to be able to filter it from their training data, right?

In fact, I'd go so far as to say TTRPG rule books should have practice questions. "Your're in a dark alley, facing down 20 Billhooks, wielding hatchets, meat cleavers, and other, rougher sharp implements. You want to throw an explosive to clear a path out. What's the position/effect for this roll?"

I love the little click relays make.

TBH everyone going gaga over AI coding tools is making me want to do even more to improve my programming skills. And get my kids started on coding. And save up money to snatch up a bunch of RAM on ebay when the AI data centers crash and burn.

If you were a healer fairy, what symbol would you have on your gnarled-wood door to indicate that to the rest of your little fairy village? A rod of asclepius doesn't seem right, and a caduceus is never right.

Another tough day for team “there’s no point in complaining about AI, just accept it.”

WHAT IF YOU JUST READ A FUCKING BOOK

Cooling for UV LEDs is kind of a pain. I definitely just got one hot enough that it desoldered itself and just kind of ... gave up. Which, to be fair, is my bad. Sorry little fella.

Okay ... are people like, smoking again? It's 2026 and I swear cigarettes were just like, not even a thing anymore (around here, at least), but it sure seems like I'm seeing it more and more and I am unimpressed.

My 9 and 6-year-olds have a habit of asking each other "would it be cool if ..." and inventing some random occurrence that would probably not ever happen, but I guess could be cool. This is effectively all making and sharing AI trash videos is, except at least my kids are using their imaginations.

I want to shout out @scenefour.bsky.social 's short form videos; the stuff is impressive in breaking down tenets and philosophies of play in TTRPGs in ways that are digestible and extremely helpful. Specifically, the ones on cultures of play are immaculate

This is the stupidest g.d. thing I have read all day.

NO NO NO YOU DON’T GUYS LET ME PLEASE SPREAD THE GOSPEL OF FREE TAX USA federal is free, state is $16, handles even my chaotic freelancer taxes just fine, same step-by-step “designed for normies” kind of interface as TurboTax but NOT EVIL tell everyone you know www.freetaxusa.com

I’m getting a deviated septum repaired in a couple of weeks, and I’m realizing … is my philtrum going to be off-center to my nose afterward? Like, it’s aligned with where my nose is now, but my nose is almost certainly going to shift right like, a centimeter.

Parenting is like ___ You like the parents ___ Your kids like their kids ___ You like their kids Pick two.

Back in my day you needed a senior engineer for this sort of thing

Watching my kids play games, I wonder how much of this has been trained behavior from us millennial parents limiting our kids' screen time. I.e., if you've only got an hour to play, you may be less patient to deal with a single puzzle that takes you 30-45 minutes of guessing.

Now that it's been out for a while, what's the verdict on Land of Eem? Is it as fun as it looks? I'll be running an RPG for my kids and some of their friends. The initial inquiry was D&D because it's what people know, but I'm leaning toward something like Quest or Land of Eem if they're open to it.

Listen. There are lots of shows that ended while they were just getting good, and that sucks. But for every show that ended too soon, there's another 3 that just kept fuckin going long after the plot ran out and the life left the actors' eyes.
