DOG AT THE OLYMPICS FULL COMPETITION HIGHLIGHTS

Blades '68 appreciation post: the tables in the back include a section for common sights around the city like styles of architecture, types of business, what kind of junk is likely lying around. but my favorite table is for color schemes. like check this shit out. good stuff

let me take you on an incredible voyage 1) there is an upcoming peacock show in which elizabeth banks is matthew macfadyen's wife 2) but ... she's tiny, whoops, he's a scientist who accidentally made her tiny 3) it's called the miniature wife 4) there is a penultimate flashback episode

THREAD: Let’s talk about Roni, the outstanding raccoon mascot of the 1980 Winter Olympics …

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

It's hard. "Can you separate the art from the artist"--I got asked that 1 million times in the last decade. It took a long time but I came up with my answer to that Kobayashi Maru dilemma. Talked about it with @colehaddon.bsky.social in 5am Storytalk in 2024: colehaddon.substack.com/p/q-and-a-jo...

why is there not a skywriter over every major city right now spelling out FUCK ICE / DETECTIVE HARRY HOLE ON NETFLIX THIS MARCH

My initial reaction to the Catherine O'Hara news, besides a basically word-for-word recitation of what Aisha just said, is that I'm fucking FURIOUS. Which is the product of an accumulation of stuff, of course; anger usually is. But I'm just so goddamn mad.

You know it’s breaking through to the normies when sports shitposting forums are flooded with anti-ICE memes

Do you ever hear/see the name of a band from your youth that you'd forgotten and feel a crazy jolt of recognition/nostalgia/adrenaline? This musing brought to you by me seeing the words "Freelance Whales."

Holy hell, what an obituary

something big is happening

We believe getting started with our games should be as easy as possible. Introduce your group to a new #ttrpg with our FREE quickstarts or learn to play from a fantastic range of #ActualPlay! soulmuppet-store.co.uk/pages/gettin...

One thing I did more in 2025 than any year before: I wrote table-top role-playing games! Caveats galore: they’re only bits of games, haven’t been playtested, and might not make sense outside of my head. And yet! I created some things and enjoyed doing it! Here are those things:

annual repost of Trashed Bathrooms

Water is The One True Liquid, but there are three other liquid types: Tea, Soup, and Juice. Tea is water that's changed by the introduction of a thing which is then removed Soup is water that has a thing in it Juice is water that comes from a thing (Thanks to @marble.bsky.social for the diagram)

This year has turned me fully to mush. I'll straight up look a friendly cashier in the eyes and whisper: "Never lose what you have inside you."

waiting on tarmac, look over and my husband is intently reading the Wikipedia page for Turkey

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Merry Christmas! Let’s go kill Skeletrex

A Christmas challenge. Try to get through reading this without tears 😍

On the topic of “empty homes” but also on how we let the mortgage crisis chase people out of what could still be affordable housing, all for nothing.

Thinking about these physical game mechanics again! I have been playing around with using magazines or used books as a “deck” for a card prompt game with collage (makes sense in my head). There were a bunch of games in the TTRPG Bookmark Jame which did interesting things with using books as prompts!

I love my two blackout drunk Minnesota sons

it is the best scene in the movie and arguably the most important one

Made a silly thing for the #ttrpgbookmarkjam: “The Evocative Bookmark of Hasty Tomes” (maustoleum.itch.io/the-evocativ...)

One Shot - THE MUSICAL?!?!? On Monday, I'm terrified/excited to share this next One Shot with you I partnered with the AMAZING cast of @rpgmajor.bsky.social - a musical improv actual play podcast playing Last Train to Bremen by @seaexcursion.itch.io, we'll sing the tragedy of BROADSIDE

I wrote a bit for McSweeney's about Isaac Chotiner interviewing Santa Claus. Just a little something for the holiday season. Enjoy!

Starting tomorrow I am going to be releasing my most ambitious, longest, most earnest shitpost TTRPG yet. Every day in December I will be sharing one prompt from the Wild Magic Advanced 2e table - which will then be available in its entirety for free download on my itchio January 1.

It’s a beautiful Monday to be in movie theaters! Thanks to all who came out this weekend - spread the good word, we’re just getting started. Theater finder link in my pinned post ⏰💀🎟️🙌🏻#WakeUpDeadMan

Since I'm reflecting on land acknowledgements at the moment, here's an opportunity to share one of my favourite, short pieces of Indigenous satire. walkingeaglenews.com/2017/12/19/l...

“Two bearded guys in cargo shorts getting marriage licenses in Waco on a random weekday. These are the normies. The people in the Capitol who are obsessed with which bathrooms we use, what we do in our own homes, and what kind of art we make?… Those are the weirdos.”

PITCH: Ghost who doesn’t understand the true meaning of Halloween is visited by three humans.

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport. Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably? But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

I just published a very rough hack of two one-page games by @gshowitt.bsky.social as part of the One Hundred One Page Games Jam (itch.io/jam/one-hund...)! It's very silly, possibly unplayable, and you play both ghosts and people exploring a haunted house: maustoleum.itch.io/everyone-is-...

TFW you paid $1400 to see Beckett’s most famous work without knowing anything about it

dudes rock

Goal and an assist for Blondie Bear(gvall)!

Contextualize these for us, Sally, please. Point out the civility here.

Every single thing you like and admire and find illuminating or thrilling about HP exists in other books, movies, & series EXCEPT the birth-to-death-scale entertainment-industrial infrastructure of merch and licensing

I'm calling it the mail loneliness epidemic

Attention artists! I need some original illustrations for some upcoming games (please see my thread). If you want to throw your hat in the ring, please reply in the thread with a link to your portfolio. And if you see this, please repost or tag in someone you think might be a good fit!

The best cat in the world had a trip to the Vet ER last night (he’s okay!) so to help us cover some of the unexpected expenses, I’m running a big sale for the next week Use code CONECAT for 25% off your order moreblueberries.shop

This is incredible! Definitely going to try this out in my next session of Brindlewood Bay. Not sure some of the fandom language will entirely read for my players (?) but the concreteness of the images/ships/theories will certainly be helpful!
