First comment on Manton’s announcement to have Micro.blog users subsidize X.com claims Bluesky is a “den of pedophiles”: www.manton.org/2026/07/13/r... Fascinating armchair analysis given that it was Grok that allowed X users to create CSAM on-demand.

@schiff.senate.gov I’m a constituent and I’m still waiting for your response to the Supreme Court ruling on trans kids’ access to play sports at the state level. I see you responded to the other rulings this morning so clearly you’ve had time to read them all.

Rather than try to pass legislation written by lobbyists from Meta why don't these states go after companies like Meta & X who are the ones causing the problems they are concerned about? Why are they eroding my privacy, my kids' privacy, and further enabling a surveillance state?

@capacle.bsky.social Triple-O print edition has arrived and it is lovely! I was just thinking about doing a little Traveller again via a solitaire game and it occured to me it would be fascinating to have Triple-O guide a couple of "players" through the lifepath character generation.

@voxparlour.bsky.social pivoting a bit from USR (which is hard cuz I love that game) - have you ever considered a full featured solo supplement for Romance of the Perilous Land? Osprey has dabbled a bit into solo territory and RoPL has such rich support outside of the core book.

Thomas Bangalter DJ'ing at The Lot Radio NYC booth right now (on till 5pm ET / 2pm ET, replay *should* be available on Lot's Youtube tomorrow.)

It must take _so much energy_ to be a terf or a transphobe. Know what's easy? And I mean, dead simple super easy for lazy bastards like me? When someone says "Hey, my gender is [this]" or "My pronouns are [that]" you just say "Okay, cool" And that's it.

@hodagrpg.bsky.social so @jackno.bsky.social's list of inspiations for his game Untamed Worlds led me to Steve Gallacci's Erma Felna EDF and it is very good™ and you probably already know about it but just in case: www.stevegallacci.com/archive/edf

@jackno.bsky.social wow, I've been sleeping on Untamed Worlds - it is very good. I was originally interested in it just for the setting but the whole thing is great: setting, rules, art, and writing.

Every bike is a cargo bike (if you want it to be): bsky.app/profile/cara...

@kottke.org possibly relevant to your linking interests - 108 hours of Fred Again's USB002 tour went live on YouTube an hour ago: www.youtube.com/watch?v=GiXK... (Every show audio from USB002 but CDMX fwiw.)

Eventually software-as-a-service LLM coding agent tokens are going to cost as much as a senior dev and you can be locked into a platform you don’t control. bsky.app/profile/gold...

@alexhanna.bsky.social possibly one for the mystery AI hype “corporate AI research cruft” bucket: storage.googleapis.com/deepmind-med... Buried in the Discussion chapter: “noted that the model’s relatively inflexible adherence to pedagogical principles threatened to exasperate some students”

@hodagrpg.bsky.social saw this cover and immediately thought of you! bsky.app/profile/bron...

I would like to mysteriously teleport to somewhere that isn't this timeline. I would even settle for an alien Waffle House if Waffle House somehow has a monopoly on teleportation wormholes.

@malphaswats.bsky.social blast from the past! I recognized your avatar and it took me a minute to remember from where but it came back to me: I used the source code of your Static Dimension PHP blogging engine for a few years.

@isachandra.bsky.social hi Isa! Back in NYC and haven’t been here in ages (last time I was here Modern Love was still open, RIP) I can use Happy Cow of course but any (maybe new, women owned, or poc owned?) vegan restaurants you want to shine a light on while I’m here this weekend?

@shawntomkin.bsky.social I'm seeing a lot of movement of late with the datasworn fork... would probably be good for everyone (roll20, foundry, stargazer, etc) depending on rsek's "tomkin approved" version to have some clarity on whether they should switch their projects over to the fork or not.

@hodagrpg.bsky.social The Hodag Zine is Very Good™

@404media.co Seems like a good time for renewed media pressure on Apple to restore ICEBlock.

wackyweasel.github.io/UniversalCha... This is an interesting UI/UX model for a "virtual RPG canvas" that is different than the map-centered interaction model Roll20 and others have gone with. This works like a toybox of character sheet components to design your play space with.

@shawntomkin.bsky.social does it still seem like Crucible will be on the 2026 roadmap?
