Wife just told me this one: What’s the difference between Iran and Vietnam? Trump had a plan to get out of Vietnam.

What do you MEAN the president audibly SHIT himself live on camera and they immediately cancelled the press conference and rushed everyone out of the room like it's a fire drill, and it happened two days ago, and I'm just hearing about it NOW?

Hello Twitter refugees. I like to talk about RPGs! That's mostly what I do here on Bluesky. This is the RPG stuff that I'm doing right now.

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word? My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle. I have no idea how long this sale will last. www.amazon.com/Atrocities-J...

I can’t wait for the articles—“Democrats won big Tuesday night. Here’s why that’s bad for Democrats.”

It’s really telling that #Apple can’t be bothered to put out any sort of release notes for #MacOS Tahoe, given how little they put into making it. Doubly embarrassed that I scraped & traded old kit to get an M4 mini, and now they give me this shitpile to run on it? #AppleFAIL

I dropped a poster tube in the #sdcc exhibit hall trying to get a signature. The poster inside has 2 dozen autographs collected at events in multiple states and countries. The tube has a name and address on it, it’s easy to id; but I’m devastated, I feel like such an idiot. #sdcclostandfound

The problem with having any faith in the Cheeto in chief's anti war inclinations is that all it takes is having the right voices in the magaverse calling him weak, and it's off to the races...

Is it just me, or is the new season of Andor just choc-a-block full of filler?

With the luck & grace of #RPG gods of Fate & Fortune, I may have a new live RPG table in place for #HisMajestyTheWorm, thanks to some heady canvassing on a local Reddit thread. If they show, if they like the game, if iI can keep the table steady and true- here’s hoping. #GameOn

Because of our very, very bad neighbors (Texas), had to take the fam to a local pharmacy for MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella). They were happy to do so, but said it was the first doses they’d done- if we were to have any symptoms, they wanted us to let them know #LifeInAmerica

Not everyone can fight Trumpism and Trumpists directly. But remember this: kindness, decency, and fidelity to American values are defiance in the face of Trumpism. So be kind, decent, and faithful, particularly to the many kinds of people despised and attacked by Trumpists. That’s revolutionary./1

It’s been an Eraserhead kind of day

At the dog park this morning, everyone was talking about their favorite ‘Barney Miller’ episodes. #LifeInABQ

Bluesky is pretty much good for much of nothing, if most all of my time has to be spent pruning bot accounts

POPEHAT SIGNAL: Small family-run paper of SoCal town, on a shoestring budget, got a defamation threat. They could use advice and possibly a response from a pro bono lawyer. Send a Chat if potentially able to help. Thanks. All you great lawyers are the vanguard of free speech.

Block early and often.

Neat:

Apparently, the trick to meeting friendly, beautiful & may I say buxom young women by the score is just to start posting as a grey haired old gay bear of a dad. Go figure.

Re-upping this call for help.

Hey, did you know you can still get Digger Unearthed collections? grimoakpress.com/collections/...

@riseupcomus.bsky.social Thought you like this; Lars Brown’s Penultimate Quest: www.larsbrown.com/comics.html I backed a KS for the books a dog's age ago, but read them only recently. A very interesting (and very different) take on the mythic dungeon concept I thought, tho YMMV, of course.

My theory is that journalists are so agitated over the couch joke because, as they’ve demonstrated, they have no idea how to report on something that’s not true.

July in New Mexico. Kid passed 2 rounds of summer school, barely, still, off my bike, still plotting a live RPG game table, somehow, still job hunting, off n on. The world continues.

Remember: here's the breaking news handbook. All of these are good rules to stand by at the moment.

Now, this sounds like a good time

Kids on two week spring break, and managed to brig home flu to celebrate by. #SharingTheWeslth #PlagueHouse #HappySpring

This is amazing! Follow @anthonyhurd.bsky.social! Buy me this painting!

Tuesday would also be a good time to join up:

I have been still stirring the ashes at Twitter-that-was using curated lists, but I’ve now got lines on most all I’d hoped to keep touch with. I’m still more inclined to Mastodon, but that’s a personal thing. But it’s all good. #HowdyDo

Today is a perfect day to sign up for my Patreon. You'll get all the new Goats pages as they're finished, Dungeon DIvers redraws, and a huge archive of hundreds of comics, many of them exclusive to patrons. www.patreon.com/jonrosenberg

I do hope that it will work out tho. And I’ll check in when I can. Here’s hoping, je?

The trick is that a) so far, I see no way that this platform can not go the way of Twitter/X, as all corporate social media must, & b) I was hoping to find more fellow Twitter refugees, but some still seem half here/half there. I well understand huge follower counts of old, but still, Nazis, right?

My schedule is opening up this month and I am looking for illustration or cartography freelance work. I have many years of experience, negotiable rates, and clients that include Marvel Comics, MCDM, Ghostfire Gaming, and more. Let's make your thing. brianfnpatterson.com

Well & good; this may well be a decent echo of twitter-that-was, but that in itself doesn’t change the base economics of corporately held social media; we can but hope tho, je?

Oh, so this is how it works?
