There we go. That there’s a headline.

So, when Maduro walks, does that mean ICE will have to pick him up? And when they inevitably fuck that up too, will he get to just stay in the US?

Good, now everyone can shut up about an easy mode for Dark Souls

I tripped in the garage and broke my shoulder. 'But Elliot' I hear you say 'What's so ridiculous about that? Sounds pretty normal to me.' Friends, I did not break my shoulder because I fell on it. I broke it cause I grabbed a table on the way down and my arm forced its way up through my shoulder.

I have been doom posting far too much lately, so I’m gonna make myself stop after this one. Klobuchar, my senator, is an utter failure, and she proves it here. If you aren’t already, make sure you’re getting in touch with your local activist group, it’s the only help that’s coming.

Just gonna go ahead and move this up a few years

Post a famous bathroom scene

Asked about the possibility of impeachment, Schumer says "we hope that we can have support from our Republican colleagues to put a brake on this long before it gets that far"

Translation service for Schumer’s statement: Taking out Maduro was good, but these guys didn’t let me get a piece of the action. They lied to me three times, so now I’m demanding they lie to me again. You are all rubes for being distracted from the demographic truly being harmed: kitchen tables.

Well shit, I guess Hegseth finally figured out how to do opsec since this came as a surprise

I don't think my suggestion of "Strap every AI CEO into a big centrifuge, spin it up, then toss in a brick" is an unreasonable one.

I’m working through my saved threads and hit this one, which was a great reminder of many of the issues with Heathcliff’s portrayal throughout the history of Wuthering Heights

Alright y’all, we’re having a jubilee to kick off the new year - I’ve removed all my blocks so everyone can disappoint me all over again

It’s New Year’s Eve, and you know what’s better than resolving to do something in the next year? Purposefully leaving something behind in the previous one that no longer fits

This, and all of the attached threads, are a good gut check, especially as folks are inevitably drawn to giving themselves goals for the new year (a fool’s errand in service to the lie of *productivity*, but that’s another thread)

One of the most incredible shots I've ever gotten, in Yellowstone. This coyote walked over a ridge in the blowing snow and posed for me, with a small grin on its face, the snowfalkes like stars in the background. The desolation and beauty of life and nature is grounding, and so good for the soul.

Hyper local political take “The Strib is absolute trash” running full tilt into writing hobby discourse has made for a wild last 24 hrs

I have read a ton of blogs in recent weeks as I work to understand what made Over/Under tick, and it makes me want to start my own… More to come in 2026, I think

Kids got hungry, so Muppet Christmas Carol remains unfinished, meaning Tiny Tim did, in fact, die, this time Whomp whomp, kiddo

We all know Die Hard is a Christmas movie, but what Christmas video game are we playing to celebrate the season? I’ve got Parasite Eve locked and loaded

I think of any indie game recommendation I’ve made recently to friends, this is the one I make the most. Really a unique (adulatory) experience that I love forcing on all of them!

Debate kids are like if thinking Guitar Hero made you good at guitar was a political ideology.

The histories mention a loud noise from inside the general’s tent whenever Patroclus visited Some say it was Achilles’ squeal

Advice to all writers from my most fucked up character.

I don’t know if I have anything to add to the Obojima discourse, they obviously are lying about being inspired by Ghibli or are using a surface level interpretation so shallow as to be considered malicious.

New ink, who dis? Show me your most recent in celebration!

Congratulations, those of you who decided to platform fringe voices and create a climate of fear and hate out of ignorance because those voices insisted a non-problem was a problem. They're now on an HHS stage trying to ruin children's lives. You will live with the harm you have done forever.

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

talking about this in the dice exploder discord but kinda interested in what the rabble thinks from a TTRPG perspective, what is the difference between a mechanic and a rule and do we actually care about that difference?

Lotta talk at the moment about AI voice theft chatbots atm. Not linking to sites because fuck that. Those familiar with my opinion on AI can probably guess my response, but to be clear: I consider the users of such chatbots to be hollow wastes of breath who are actively murdering their own souls.

One last bump on this. I might run two groups if there are enough people.

You will be visited by three spirits…

I'm seeking out 3-4 playtesters! Starting next Tuesday (Dec 16), I'd like to run an approximately one week long play-by-post RAID game (cyberpunk meets Norse myth). Playtesters would need to be actively engaged. If you're interested, let me know. I'll put together a list and server to run it.

I was opted in to the Liquid Glass update over night, and this is some real bad UI design, huh?

I am experimenting with Cataphract-style mapping and grids this weekend, and it feels good to get this far down into the weeds on a game again

I know I need to get off Spotify (I've got some reading about it in another tab, I promise it's happening) but what music service will so consistent roast me with its auto generated playlist titles?

Surely, this time, the strongly worded letter will convince them to stop doing the bad thing

I fucking love memes you can understand through the language barrier, holy shit

Jill takin' the night off to just feel the breeze for a minute~ 🚬🏙

The outlining has continued unabated, and I’ve begun moving things around on my schedule to accommodate time for this in 2026, so I think it’s actually happening?

DFL do even just one thing that gives me faith in it again, challenge level: impossible
