I had a joke about Odysseus but it took too long to land and only one person got it.

Again.

Mainstream Respectable opinion is that people joking about a bad person's death represents a culture of cruelty, but really it represents a culture of impunity. It's a coping mechanism for watching someone do evil their whole life and never seeing consequences

I think it was in Shadowrun 2e Paranormal Animals of North America. “It has the same allergy most creatures share: high velocity lead”

The "creatives" who use genAI at any part of their process need to understand I'm not desperate for new media. There is such a backlog of arts, movies, books, and games WITHOUT genAI that if nothing new was made again, I'd still need a hundred lifetimes to consume even a fraction of it.

Re: Graham Platner, I felt like I was being punked when people acted like he wasn’t obviously dishonest and untrustworthy this entire time. Starting with the unbelievable defense of his tattoo, which I was shocked to see people fall for

haha, thats a great post. unfortunately you phrased it in a way that allowed me, a moron, to misunderstand it

I think it’s about 45 times now.

I would kill or die for Larry

new metaphor just dropped

America keeps trying to get me to go to her birthday party and I’m like no girl u need to go to the hospital

Guaranteed: 1) Black girls will be harassed and demanded to be tested over and over again regardless of how competitive they are. 2) Winners from public schools will be relentlessly hounded by the parents and coaches of losers at private schools, with the goal of making them quit the sport.

I’m okay with plot in movies but only if it advances the sex scenes

The terrifying thing about Mamdani for centrist Dems is how his actually doing things his electorate wants him to do reveals them as liars for saying their hands were always so tied.

Psirun 2e is in kickstarter right now. I backed, you should back, too.

Y’all I know a lot of things are real bad right now, but here’s one of them

"Broom the soup." A lot of centrists are freaking out right now, and people are both reading too much and too little into the DSA victories, but a metaphor from my career may be helpful here. 1/?

this is literally the kind of crap people put in children’s stories to illustrate how despicable an emperor is. “then they brought a poor child before him, and the emperor said this was not enough to deserve gold. and so they brought more sick and sad children and the emperor demanded they dance.”

It will never stop being funny to me that the street fighter subreddit has a much better, well reasoned ai policy vis a vis literally all universities.

TTRPG idea: A being that doesn’t interact with anyone until destroyed, but which speaks coherent (yet mystic) thoughts out loud. It means no harm. It will destroy the city. 1/2

It's an objective fact that Elon Musk is a mass murderer. He intentionally caused the deaths of millions of people. There's no caveats to this, no alternative explanations, no defenses, no missing context; that was the sole reason for doing what he did.

“Why’s it taking so long to take down the name when they put it up so fast?” yeah, undoing every single thing he’s done is gonna be exactly like that, get used to it

Bro they're dunking on your undertsanding of historical implications of law enforcement in the group chat

i can really imagine coach mcgirk saying "It's a tool, Brendan." then having full blown ai psychosis later in the episode

english isn't for cowards. if you're not saying 'torpify,' that's a skill issue. there's no Académie Française telling you what to do. if you try to type 'pallific' and freak out when you see a little red underline, maybe you're not ready to roll with the big dogs.

The Brakrooms "Yeah, buddy!"

happy birthday america, i got you the corpse of a 30 year old one hit wonder shuffling around in front of a fight pit next to a giant hole in the ground that used to be the east wing all at the pleasure of an octogenarian rapist with dementia

My wife says : gflargabarg. Tell your friends.

@gwiggs.bsky.social Holy shit.

“What do you mean they don’t like our plan to have all the money and make them mine rare earth if they can move and off to the soylent factory if they can’t? These ignorant fools just hate progresss”

Have you read Beowulf? No you haven't. And especially not like this. Well, you fucking should. Or anyway the fight between Beowulf and Grendel, which is short enough that you'd get through it. @sesquiotic.bsky.social brings it to you. stronglang.wordpress.com/2026/05/19/w...

I should leave Google Drive. Can anyone recommend a good, low cost or free spreadsheet program?

My shoes turned to stone, while I watched the sky turn. She was coming, soon, I was sure. She had promised.

Short version: yes, buttons are getting worse. Long version: by and large, apps and programs and websites these days are effectively dumb terminals -- when you click a button they do no processing on their own, and instead send the data to a central server, which sends a response back. (1/4)

They're justified, and they're ancient And they drive an ice cream van (Just roll it from the top) They're justified, and they're ancient With still no master plan (To the bridge, to the bridge, to the bridge now)

I detest the AI generated video summaries on YouTube. But! They can be unintentionally funny.

“Bring stuff in from other RPGs, like clocks from BitD and Fronts from dungeon world.” “You mean clocks from Apocalypse World and fronts from Apocalypse World?” “Is that derivative?” “Sigh”

When I heard that “shots were fired” my initial reaction was “oh, shit someone actually said mean things to his face?” Then I realized that, no, it was just another false flag.

When Einstein developed general relativity the closest thing to a practical application that could even be imagined at the time was a slightly more precise description of where to look for the planet Mercury in the sky, and yet now we’d all be literally lost without it. Anyway: fund basic research.

for an idea of how big a deal this is, my mom was in great shape when she got diagnosed and she lasted less than sixty days. six years is insane.

Call your senators at (202) 224-3121 and urge them to block HR 22, the SAVE act, aka the “Strip Americans of Voting Equality” act. Do it now. It takes seconds to make your voice heard. #SAVEact #GOTV #TransRightsAreWomensRights #NoHumanIsIllegal

#portfolioday never a dull moment huh Hi! I'm Tia! I'm a transfem filipina illustrator and cartoonist based out of Seattle! I do TTRPG art, comics, illustrations, stickers prints, and more!

"Our technology will replace you in a society that will let you die if you can not generate capital." "Why is everyone so threatened by the technology we're building?!"

I know that in order to successfully share my homemade ttrpg system, I would need to: - Join a community that does discusses ttrpg - hang out for a few years and meaningfully contribute - eventually release it, capitalizing on good will and recognition Just, that’s so much.
