Minesweepers get driven around like kids to soccer practice??? They're too slow to get home on their own?

In these trying times, take whatever wins you can. I made it to the top of Old La Honda on Sunday. I wasn't sure if I could, but I did. www.strava.com/activities/1...

There so many things wrong with this op-ed from every angle you can imagine, but at its core it's also just factually wrong - complex coffee drinks are the norm and Starbucks produces every drink in roughly the same amount of time. They're not roasting fresh beans for you.

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

Man this is a whole other possible timeline Very Time Safari Inc vibes: SAFARIS TO ANY YEAR IN THE PAST. YOU NAME THE RPG. WE TAKE YOU THERE. YOU PLAY IT.

It's a good suggestion but there are two ways out here: 1. The three clue rule (as suggested) 2. Don't have pass/fail rolls. You might roll for unexpected consequences, but failure makes too many dead ends.

holy shit

There are some dudes that make me pause a second, and doublecheck, and still straight, but, like, I get it.

Target truly has cards for every occasion

We decided to prune the lemon tree today and yeah it was maybe a little overdue

Madness, they just went and did it

Our Caltrain usage from the south bay to The City has gone way up with the new electric trains. Huge win for the bay area. Faster, more frequent, smoother and outlets at every seat.

swordfighting tactics, germany, 16th century

Everyone saying this is just a cover for anti-lgbtq censorship is right BUT It's also a way to prevent new entrants into online social media as only large incumbent companies can afford to comply with these onerous rules. It's anticompetitive.

Abolish ICE.

Every couple of months or so, someone puts out a piece of bad social science meant to undermine the case for more housing. For Roosevelt Institute, I wrote a blog post responding to the two most recent specimens. rooseveltinstitute.org/blog/there-i...

Traveller published a couple alien rpg supplements back in the 80's that basically said this - sure, you can play this alien race, but they don't behave or think like humans, so maybe think twice here

It's a fun review/roast of a dungeon that both great and terrible and definitely deserves to be roasted, both for being incredibly famous and extremely cheesy

I went to a Toronto Sceptres game on NYE last year and it was great hockey. Fast, no fights and the crowd was absolutely insane for it. The PWHL could become the most popular women's sports league in north america.

it is indeed a little insane living in the US as a Canadian

Yo-HO! March fo(u)rth! It's #InternationalGMsDay! And what better way to show your GMs your appreciation than another book for their groaning, overburdened shelves? MAKING ENEMIES is a deep dive into monster creation, a treasury of ideas for inventing all-new abominations for PCs to confront.

Sometimes I think about how my work isn't always great or that I just drop things because time is finite but then I read things like this and I'm absolutely buoyed

everyone is fighting a battle you can't see because you are the only one without cool invisible wizard powers

"bone dry" is a weird idiom because the vast majority of bones are extremely wet and working hard to stay that way

sfstandard.com/2026/03/03/f... This is a good article and reinforces my belief that the way to make cities vibrant again is for commercial landlords to take a haircut.

I was never really into 2300AD (the RPG) but at what point did the Kaefers become Predators? Also while I generally like to see old games kept in print and I'm glad it has an audience... Kaefer was always a problematic name for one of the big-bad alien races. They could have changed it.

Hahahahahahahaha

This is like some perverse Mitch Hedberg joke. "The mood here is intense and paranoid. It was intense and paranoid before, but it still is."

People confuse avoiding politics with being really ignorant of politics

I went to see it last night and this movie rules.

Everything old is new again In the words of the Smiths, stop me if you've heard this one before

"I'm getting sued for this so you better pre-order" would be a bad pitch most of the time but this time it's got the juice

Finally found what I've been lacking.

These people aren't against democrats or even liberalism - they're against modernity. it's insanity with lobbyists.

I feel like there's a lot of Costco opinions getting posted today so here we go: Costco is fine in theory, but to quote Sartre, "Hell is other people" and the people in Costco are three levels of Dante's hell all in one place

BSky #ttRPG peeps: Which games are *wet* and which are _dry_?

I like a review that's a combination of thoughtful, insightful and a straight up roast.

Nooooooooooooo

Nooooooo Canada played great. Also was there a BROCKVILLE sign in the stand? lol, Brockville represent.

Nooooo gold medal women's hockey tied up

Every Canadian is require to weigh in on the Olympic curling scandal so here's my two cents: yes, it's a rule violation but I don't think it makes any difference to the outcome of the game or a throw at all. It's the weirdest thing because it's not cheating in the sense it gives you an advantage.

apnews.com/article/ital... Between this, the insane drone follows on skiing and sliding and the curling scandal captured on camera this has been a next level Olympics for camera work.

I installed emacs solely to run M-x psychoanalyze-pinhead and it's as compelling as getting advice from chatgpt

I realize that 90% of "the Dow is over 50k" are being rightly sarcastic but to be earnest for a second: the stock market is not the economy. They can do different things at the same time.

Between Two Cairns is organizing a gaming convention in Portland, OR. Please come! betweentwocons.com @betterlegends.bsky.social @yochaigal.bsky.social

Columbia did a version this poncho and it sold out in less than 12 parsecs

It is 2011. A game called Apocalypse World was just recently released. Far West promises to be in hands by the end of the year. It is 2026. A game called Apocalypse World was just recently crowdfunded. Far West promises to be in hands by the end of the year.

Everyone should have a butter tart. With or without raisins.
