So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already. When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world. Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him. cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Mike_Po...

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

An article about this political moment, the role of journalism, and the very real dangers of state repression—told as a cheeky guide to buying a gas mask. I’ve been sending it to everyone; it both delights and horrifies me. Well done @sarahjeong.bsky.social www.theverge.com/policy/86857...

Kari has had a plumbing disaster! If you're an author who needs a blindness sensitivity read, or just have a few bucks to toss their way, it would really help.

Re-upping at the end of this month just to say I am still open to all freelance/part or full time work. I’m a great addition to any newsroom needing quick and accurate coverage or insightful reviews. Also happy to do marketing/pr work on the other side of things. Keep me in mind! I’ve got bills!

my only notes to people under 30: your 30s aren't for ditching fandom, they're for re-evaluating all the "cringe" stuff you liked as a teenager through the lens of someone who can appreciate it fully, going, "that owned, actually," and becoming even more unhinged about it. please look forward to it.

I am looking for work! I would love to edit your podcast or actual play or similar :) [email protected]
