Every company right now: "Use this Awesome New Tool™ that doesn't work and is ethically-questionable in many ways." Employees: "No." Companies:

Ghengis Con 2026: Dungeon Crawl Classics, Savage Worlds X3 (including Han Cluster and Occult City), Call of Cthulhu 7E, Rivers of London, DND 5E, Year Zero Cyberpunk Home Brew, and Outgunned Adventure. Pretty strong mix, if I do say so myself.

I'm the goof in the back.

We had an awesome time tonight in a DND game run by Ginny Di at Ghengis Con in Aurora, CO. Photo soon!

Sometimes I wonder if people understand that there is now no reason for anyone to ever take the United States seriously, ever again. We won't stop our elected officials from committing atrocities at any scale. It's over. Our system does not have checks or balances. They are not enforced.

"Ha ha ha....psycho...." 😒

Turns out Canadien Curler Mark Kennedy has a LONG history of double-touching rocks and there is loads of video evidence. You'd think people who play sports on camera would be less stupid, but here we are.

Ya'll remember Simon? I do! youtu.be/Yt9mMqP7fCw?...

Pathetic Richard Dawkins and his pathetic cronies have always been suspect humans. Champion of secular humanism @skepchick.org Rebecca Watson has the receipts. FUCK YOU to any scientists I've known who defended them. Stop pretending away the misogyny in STEM, you clowns. youtu.be/ZoO9FZXUgv4?...

No we don’t you worthless lump of campaign bribes, we want ICE abolished and every person who committed crimes, as well as those who allowed it to happen, prosecuted. Go fucking retire, you’ve done enough damage already.

Cool. While I was busy, The Lair of Lo'thysss went Copper! Go check it out. It can serve as a standalone or as an expansion to my Silver Best-Selling Test Subjects! legacy.drivethrurpg.com/product/3622...

Last night the people of LA rose up and stormed the concentration camp in their city. They pushed back the fascist gestapo forces and barricaded the doors in the face of an onslaught of tear gas and pepper spray. Video Credit to pigalert1213

Pete Ricketts (R-NE) responded to my plea for humanity in stopping ICE and basically said that the fentanyl deaths avoided make all of this worth it. They will always move the goalposts.

If you’re outside of Minnesota and you’re wondering how to help, this guide is excellent. And seriously. Take down your Ring doorbell TODAY.

I just heard about the man murdered in Minny. I'm refusing to go to our pre-scheduled family church service this evening. I know exactly what is going to happen: The pastor will make no mention of it and pretend like everything is just fine in the world. I refuse to participate in ignoring this.

If Trump says there is a "future deal over Greenland," that is basically meaningless bullshit. I won't believe that at all until I hear it from people who don't lie every single time they open their mouths. It is remarkable that major news outlets will still just report whatever he says.

Cowards.

So where are the Proud Boys and patriots, the whole Don't Tread On Me crowd dead set against government overreach. Why aren't they on the streets protesting about government interference, willing to fight and die for it? All I see is dozens and dozens of ICE agents. Oh. Oh, right.

100 this.

The "law and order" Republicans are always super silent when they can make money by violating the law. Right now I worry that this ends with a US/Russia alliance that targets Europe. Any Americans out there who ever asked "what if" the US was on the other side of WW2? We may learn the answer soon!

"Give me permission to act like a total shithead and get away with it" is a very strong impulse for a lot of people. (The context is around AI apologists in the creative world.)

I dunno, it kinda feels like the tale of 2025 is that people in power have very few skills, but they SHOUT that they "totally have better skills than you." It is almost as if people who seek power want it because it heals their deep, deep, deep insecurities about themselves. Huh.

My favorite ❤️ placard! I am hoping to earn one myself soon!

It's hard to believe that it's only been ten years since UCLA English Lit grad Lee Gold launched her influential zine Alarums & Excursions (named after Elizabethan drama). Its hard to believe, as it's actually 50 years, as it launched in 1975, and she only wrapped it this year.

It is impossible to be supportive of genAI and creative people ( and real creation) at the same time. Support real creatives. #ttrpg

As a university faculty member I have grave concerns over AI. I have many logical, evidence-based reasons for being vehemently-opposed to it and feel gaslit or treated like I'm a fool for opposing it. I fear retaliation as a non-tenured faculty member if I were to express my opinion publically.

Identify the skilless people around you in positions of power. They make everyone around them miserable.

The message of the Google Gemini commercial is: "we'll help you lie to your kid." That tracks. On brand.

"The wokes ruined Star Trek."

Rebecca Watson breaks down her tireless advocacy for SA survivors landed her in the Epstein files...because she dared to challenge one of Epstein's known contacts. Oh, by the way, Lawrence Krauss is a creep. youtu.be/VNLdyWPAz18?...

Say it with me: "But, what about HIS emails?!?!?!" #theshoeisontheotherfoot

We now live in a post-truth world where lying is constant and shameless. People who tell the truth are attacked and gas-lit. My hypothesis is that the last 25 years, beginning with 9/11, broke the brains of many Americans. Denial is easier than the truth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0ap...

Sandy Petersen is the Gary Gygax of Call of Cthulhu. Just like Gygax: 1) the bar for the "hero worship" people engage with is pretty low and 2) the guy's an asshole. And yes, I've felt this way about him for a LONG time. If you like Sandy, I'm side-eyeing you as a human. youtu.be/tz1Wov2edBs?...

Hmmm, let's think about this. Why would an American citizen traveling abroad not want to be found? www.usatoday.com/story/travel...

What movie do you consider perfect?

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

You can just make character sheets for games that don’t exist. It’s free and no-one stops you

We built a calculator that doesn't work, but don't worry, it's also a plagiarism machine that will tell you to kill yourself. It runs on the world's oceans and costs 10 trillion dollars.

It's funny 'cause it's true.

The people who think AI is amazing and will replace "most" jobs have really poor understandings of what humans are capable of.

@alanbahr.net removed my pledge without my consent and SILENCED me on Kickstarter simply because I criticized his approach to Backer-solicited proofreading in ttrpg publication in a single comment. This is an extreme overreaction to valid criticism and extremely unprofessional behavior.

I criticized @gallantknightgames.com for soliciting free labor from consumers. Rather than listening to and considering the feedback, they just vengfully refunded my pledge without my consent. Part of publishing work is the ability to take criticism.

Explain to me why the ttrpg industry thinks it's ok to elicit free labor from consumers in the form of copy-editing and/or proofreading. I don't buy the "it helps ensure nothing sneaks through!" Ok, hire people who don't let stuff through. Can't afford to hire people who don't let stuff through?
