We have been doing a rewatch of Battlestar Galactica with another couple who are very good friends of ours. The husband has not seen the show ever, and I am enjoying it so very much. Tonight is 33. Lock the fuck in.

Please buy this beautiful book for your coffee table and support one of my union colleagues. Makes an excellent holiday gift.

Hey kids, if yer in Asana right now... maybe, like, save your work. Looks like a big outage rolling out atm.

Da fuq?

Good digital hygiene update, friends. Look into it.

Apocalypse World is far and away my favorite game, period, and this new edition is *even better*.

Would you believe that today I *also* got paid for my first freelance invoice in ... checks notes ... 13 years?

If anyone can isolate the "ah, logistics" line from Zavala in Destiny 2 I will ... empties pockets... thank you. I will thank you. Hard.

In not unrelated news, I am heading to PAX Unplugged for the very first time. What are your tips and tricks, and where should I be eating w/in walking distance of the convention center?

I GOT A JOB! Thanks to @quasigrant.bsky.social for the opportunity. More on LinkedIn, because Bluesky gets to be my happy place from now on. NO WORKIE ON BLUESKY!! www.linkedin.com/posts/charha...

Switching my virtual workday from Slack to Discord is sending me for a loop this week. It's like moving from gaming on a console to modding games on a PC, which... yeah, I guess that makes sense.

Didn't even know Google showed this message. How long do you think I can keep this going?

Good news, gang: I start a new job today. Feeling good. More soon.

11% rebates on gifts for your least favorite nephew at Menards this weekend.

Is there anything better than just fully rearranging your office/workspace and also dusting it? No. No, there is not.

Distant Worlds 3 is kicking off in Elite Dangerous with a pre-event: A high-risk landing on a high-gravity world. Billed as a training exercise, it's likely to be more of a low-stakes splatterfest. CMDR Yannick has a livestream. Mass jump expected in 30 mins or so. www.youtube.com/live/GLFR99M...

I see we are in the find out phase of participating in the dissolution of good union jobs.

Distant Worlds, Elite Dangerous' best player-led event and one of the biggest community events in gaming, is kicking off here in earnest. Distant Worlds 3 doesn't start until next year, but the first pre-event begins on the 24th. DM me if you are interested or have questions. distantworlds3.space

in case you missed it on the weekend and you're looking for a fun, silly little ttrpg to run this Halloween, THE BEST NIGHT OF YOUR UNLIFE is out now form a group of recently necromanced skeletons and invade a college costume party to live out your dreams: skullshapedmoon.itch.io/the-best-nig...

New profile pic day! More announcements... soon.

Soon.

Definitely not our last dungeon. But the DM did print and paint new friend. Frenemy? Okay, we’re gonna kill ‘em.

Fall DnD sesh and the vibes are immaculate. Chai tea and whiskey, homemade pumpkin cookies, good friends. Perhaps our last dungeon of the campaign. Perhaps not.

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Today we celebrate the heritage, beauty, and perseverance of hundreds of cultures and nations across North America that have thrived and endured here for thousands of years, and will be around for thousands more. If you want to support this Native: bit.ly/3L67Yrs

Cripes, ain't even worth the trouble anymore. Movin' on with my evening.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

Privileged to get to go birding with these fellas the last few weeks. Ken Klick, restoration ecologist from the Lake County FPD who knows these trails like the back of his hand, and artist and author Matthew Cordell (cordell_matthew on Insta). Migration is a poppin' here in Northern Illinois.

YA MTG novel sounds like a hoot.

How it started... how it's going. Happy Campaign 4, @criticalrole.bsky.social See you in a few hours in this thread (so mute now if you need it)

did you know that with the $30 you save from cancelling your game pass subscription you could not only subscribe to @aftermath.site , you could buy yourself one amazing Steam game to go with it, then just keep doing that forever?

"Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties."

The backside of water.

This is nuts. Never thought I'd get past the permit-locked area around Orion, let alone all the way out here. The skybox is incredible, and the colonies are poppin'. Well done OASIS crew. cc @frontierdev.bsky.social.

Nothing like jumping cold into a close trinary system to get the blood flowing in Elite.

"I think I could be an asset to your team. I am disciplined. I am gregarious. I am clever. I am 6'6" inches tall and have good hair. I am an opposite field power hitter. Please reach out."

Today on LinkedIn "actually, tell me here if you want a code" for COD: Blops 7. Taking everything I can muster not to reply "Hell yeah! Send to Gamertag 'Jamāl_Aḥmad_Khāshqujī' please."

"I am seeking a role as X... for which I am profoundly unqualified... on paper... This is your fault..."

I have fully entered the "I don't give a fuck" era of cover letter writing.

Together at last, like nuts and gum.

You would think that I had consumed and understood the dad oeuvre. But honestly, I’m just a dad.
