I just encountered the term “Fakers” for AI “creators” as an explicit contrast to Makers and I think I’m kind of sold on it.

A reminder that Michigan AG Dana Nessel indicted 8 students on trumped up charges for the crime of being opposed to Israeli apartheid and genocide, then she, Jake Tapper, and Dana Bash *made up* a quote from Rashida Tlaib criticizing this to call her an antisemite, and then the case got dismissed.

Back on my bullsh

We’re excited to announce our endorsement of @abdulelsayed.bsky.social! Abdul is the leader this moment demands. As a physician, public health leader, and lifelong Michigander, he has dedicated his career to improving working people’s lives.

here's my best success with that to date: get a jenga tower and DREAD. read the cabin-in-the-woods 90s high school slasher scenario where every player has a plausible, secret excuse to be the killer but it's up to you to decide during play. it could be a PC or an NPC. it helps to...

I now fervently believe this. Relatedly, I think celebrating good news and embracing joy are equally radical. You have to remember what you’re fighting for. We cannot sustainably organize around sorrow.

Technically, they’re Remains now.

when i played World of Warcraft there was an orc player in Ogrimmar named Bluspan who would use the trade channel to offload blue items at insane prices

60% drop in reviews if people even smell AI on your game - full supports the investors, developers, and publishers that took a hard "no gen-AI" stance, despite grifters' proclamations that they were "going to be left behind".

That's enough Death of the Author. It's time for Death of the Audience. Start running fools

I'm attending a digital humanities event in Montreal. There was a keynote on AI and something about the talk made me wonder if it had been written by Claude. I said as much in the Q&A. As I posed the question, the speaker shifted, looking slightly uncomfortable. What he said next shocked the room +

When you look at old comics like Little Nemo, Prince Valiant, and Flash Gordon, it's hard to believe comics like this were ever published in newspapers

[puts your hand on my belly] you feel that? my spine is kicking

i appreciate that SOMEONE out there is making a whole slate of IP that the next generation can fall in love with and fuck up with reboots that only get it on a surface level instead of just doing that today themselves

I often wrestle with the profoundly unimportant question of whether or not D&D should make sense.

Pendant of Myopia: advantage to perception within 20’; disadvantage beyond 20’ Acerbic ideologue: deal acid damage when you succeed on a persuasion check Sordid rake: sorts raked coins by denomination Scheming eunuchs: +1d4 hours to all Linux-based computer checks Dyke: immune to hydro damage

as an editor sometimes i ask people to change some things before they submit it. it’s called a reevision.

Sometimes I get really specific #rpg briefs and sometimes I don't For this piece from a couple years ago (I think? Maybe last year? Unclear, time is soup), I got "fae and vampire. Seductive?" and that was it I had so much fun (I kinda really wanna revisit the first design and polish it up someday

I like when D&D adds stuff to the lore: Jander Sunstar has a daughter Savra who was added in Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, and preview art from the new Ravenloft book coming out this month shows her adventuring alongside Van Richten's apprentice Ez D'Avenir

recent favorite video game bug: in Moonlighter 2 by @digitalsungames.com every time I beat a stage in the super-tough arena, my health bar font size got one increment larger

in therapy i was venting about a creative project I asked for help on, and a close confidant dropping a ball, and unthinkingly said “of course this is just a reminder that nobody is coming to save me” and she microfrowned and jotted a note and I said goddammit. anyway we laughed

Quite keen to see which companies have decided that rainbow-soaked marketing is a cost they just can’t seem to justify this Pride month

I’ve gotten enough whispered compliments on my rainbow crocs (of all things) that I no longer dunk on individuals’ “performative” pride gestures. Safety is still very much a going concern for many queer people.

[staring at the One Ring in my palm] it is not only seductive as hell but it’s really incredibly valuable.

This is the most perfect comics thing ever if you think of Stan Lee as a villain. Stan Lee built his empire taking credit for the work of people like Jack Kirby, supremely creative and talented people around him. And no comic villain ever stays fucking dead

Congratulations Stan Lee you would have either hated this or been the single most enthusiastic person in the world about having this happen

a former boss who i really liked posted about training for a half-marathon on linkedin and wrote the whole thing with chatgpt and i feel like a disappointed dad

my retirement plan is running TTRPG games for wandering mercenaries in whatever post-apocalyptic enclave I wind up in. I'll memorize the rules for wanderhome and thirsty sword lesbians, which should cover all the desires of jaded warriors of the grimdark future

I commissioned this (and many!) pieces from Dakota and I love working with him. Sometimes I have a very clear direction with lots of references and sometimes I have just a vibe, and at either extreme Dakota always pulls it off.

I will never stop talking about this: The lovely and profound "If we want the rewards of being loved we have to submit to the mortifying ordeal of being known" is from an NYT article about the author accidentally being CC'd on an email where his friends were making fun of him for renting goats.

don't sleep on how this also reads like mister Greg Raiff, CEO, Elevate Aviation Group also just ran his idea through chatGPT and hit send

Holy dang folks, you surely love cities on dead gods! Thank you for the warm reception 💖

at the MI Democratic caucus in April, McMorrow stumped the Arab American caucus. They made her wait on the wall for multiple endorsed speakers. When she did speak the agenda with “Endorsed candidate US Senate Abdul El-Sayed” stayed up behind her. I respected the attempt but El-Sayed was electric

Weird style thing: in 5e/5.5.e, Dungeons & Dragons still uses the acronym “NPC” but doesn't use “PC” anymore, instead opting for “the characters”. I still think there's a meaningful distinction between “the characters” (they're all characters!!!) and “the player characters”.
