Meet Fezzik. He’s a kitten rescue who’s mother is feral. She was spayed and released and the litter is being homed. It’s a good day to add to the family.

So my buddy @bobworldbuilder.bsky.social is doing a poll about favorite TTRPGs. But he needs a signal boost beyond his own fanbase. So, for science (or simply for Bob, because he's a nice guy), can you take a minute to do this simple, 2-question survey? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

TTRPG about me First Game: Top Secret (TSR) 1979 Latest Game: Pulp Cthulhu Longest Game: 5e Favorite Game: Call of Cthulhu 7e Favorite Mechanics: Chase (CoC 7e) or Background (13th Age) Favorite Setting: Class CoC Favorite Art: David Trampier's AD&D 1e PH...was what sucked me in

Aaaaand now begins the next six weeks of cold calls from people who say they ran into me at RSAC and "want to catch up and talk about game-changing tech that will instantiate agentic actors to revolutionize the nexus of response to military grade cyber threats".... #Block #NotAtRSAC

What I wouldn't give for writing/creative apps that didn't assume you wanted their flavor of "AI" to "help you" while writing...

This is notable and maybe helps distill some fear that Iran is gonna hack us all in our beds, but CISA is also down to just a couple employees in a trench coat, furloughed, has lost tons of partnerships, etc so it's not clear they have much authority to say this anymore.

I just backed Public Access Analog Horror Mystery TTRPG on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau... If you love supporting awesome creators and their games you should as well!

Well, here is a brand I will never buy anything from

Happy Monday! Public Access is coming to Kickstarter in March, and it would help us a lot if you signed up for prelaunch! www.kickstarter.com/projects/gau... Please repost!

I am reliably informed that a sportsball event occurred last night and [checks notes] the team that did the sportsball better won.

Just gonna say Acute Sciatica sucks something hard. Kinda hard to live a life when you can only walk 10-15 feet at a time before you collapse from pain so bad you have to lie down for 5-10 minutes to recover. #GettingOldIsNotFun

Super thread well worth reading. The general philosophy is applicable in so many areas of business and life-in-general.

Would be really embarrassing if the second time NATO invokes Article 5 would be in response to actions taken by a Founding Member...

They are, in fact, some of the easiest to run I know of. Gems of playability and GM-ability.

Mr. Beast, all my friends and I were saying how good at boxing you’d be

Getting to be time for the one football game I always watch each year... GO ARMY! BEAT NAVY!

The true Gen X reaction to being lauded as the "greatest generation" would be to narrow its eyes suspiciously and mutter "whatever" when asked about it (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/t...

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving! May every heart be warmed and opened, every spirit lightened and emboldened, and every person experience justice and freedom. So say we all!

I mean, that's just tech in a general sense

Had not thought about that and now cannot unthink about it.

<Apologies to sebaceous cysts>I must say that Russ Douthat w/ @nytimes.com is a sebaceous cyst on the sphincter of humanity. Every take *EVERY TAKE* from him is filled with ChristoFascism he tries to filter through a fake academic demeanor. I look forward to his inevitable comeuppance.

Lesley hits the nail on the head here... And this problem is not going to solve itself.

So much The This.

Hot Take: The reason Vance and crew haven't activated the 25th Amendment is that they know the extreme MAGA types would likely use physical force against them and their families in retaliation.

Somehow I don’t think I’m getting upgraded to First…. :-)

SIR!!! I am trying to enjoy my lunch and you are destroying my digestion with truths like this.

Exec Meeting Pro Tip: If all you are going to do is read your slide just put the slide up, pause 15 seconds, and then ask if there are any questions. Everyone in the audience will be eternally thankful. Better yet - condense what is likely a wall-of-text slide and speak to it at the right level.

Am I greatly disturbed somebody shot Charlie Kirk? Yes. Will I also not waste any time mourning his death? Also yes. Realizing political violence is wrong and not having sympathy for victims who advocated it are isn’t incompatible. Charlie should not have died like this but I won’t mourn.

Moral of the Story? You cannot outrun the bear but you have to try...otherwise you will certainly get eaten.

You know how companies deploying "AI" can help me be more productive? Stop Asking Me If I Want To Use Your AI And Forcing Me To Click "No" To A Demo. I could save so much time to actually doing what I need to do. This has been my TedTalk. Thank you.

A hot take on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S3E7 "What Is Starfleet" in response to a well done "Ups & Downs" feat. @seanferrick.bsky.social. It seems like a lot of the disappointment/feelings about this episode are because it "didn't seem to be based on Star Trek". Fair enough.... 1/5

Which 3 #ttrpgs were your intro, the one that made you fall in love and the one that opened your eyes to possibility. Intro: AD&D My love for the hobby: Call of Cthulhu Opened my eyes: Old Gods of Appalachia (Cypher System)

Yeah, seriously. Joy is resistance. We have to find the joy wherever we can right now, and lecturing people who have found some brief relief from this hellscape about how bad they are is a real dick move. When they aren't hurting anyone, just shut up and let people enjoy things. Don't be a dick.

On what stone tablet is it written that every Trader Joe's parking lot must be small, cramped, and hella challenging to get in and out of?

Today's Deep Thought: The most important skill for an executive is the ability to distinguish between "necessary nuance" and "harmful complexity". A lack of ability in this area is, I think, the number one thing that limits executives I know.

I DO NOT WANT TEAMS IN MY CAR, I DO NOT WANT IT NEAR OR FAR. I WOULD NOT LOG ON IN A JAG, I WOULD NOT CALL IN FROM A CAB, I DO NOT WANT THIS TEAMS YOU SEE, GET IT FAR AWAY FROM ME

Feel free to roast me for this Hot Take.. The Selena Gomez Oreos are the best Oreos ever. Full stop. I will not be taking questions at this time. :-)

1. First #ttrpg you ever played - Top Secret 2. First you ever ran - Top Secret 3. Played the most - AD&D 1e/2e 4. Run the most - AD&D 5e 5 Favourite - Call of Cthulhu 7e 6. Most recently played - Pathfinder 2 7. Most recently run - Old Gods of Appalachia (Cypher)

In my corporate apartment with a couple of hours to kill before my next call.... Going to watch "Zardoz" because: 1) Never have before 2) May not have another chance again soon 3) Based on the first 3 minutes it will make me appreciate other movies so much more. Updates as events warrant.

OH: "A successful Call of Cthulhu session requires at least one VeggieTales reference...."

@kriticalkez.bsky.social ???

A modest thought… Trump has been signing off on his Truth Social posts putting his name IN ALL CAPS. The only people I’ve seen do that before are Sovereign Citizens. Has he bought into yet another perversion of law and history???

"It's not a breach if we don't see any evidence."

"Describe a favorite movie in the most misleading way possible." Attendees of a dinner party find multiple ways to resolve personal differences.

Many have forgotten The Polaroid Corporation but I, for one, will be eternally thankful for their support of Julia Child and “The French Chef” series. It’s changed how I cook for the better. Gone but not forgotten - as The Kids say. :-)

Thinking I may want to invest in popcorn futures as we all watch this Elon-Trump breakup saga happen over social media....

So how the heck did "agentic" become a thing? What does it even mean? Look...I've been through "Cloud", *aaS, and (dating myself) "cyber" becoming something other than really bad p0rn and I have no idea how to process "agentic". Help an elder GenXer out, y'all... :)

Happiness today has been making document props/handouts for my homebrew Call of Cthulhu campaign and prepping for to be Keeper for tonight's session of "The Two-Headed Serpent" with family and friends. You can't doom scroll if you're busy dealing with The Mythos. :-)

Louder for the folks in the back….
