Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

My favorite classic D&D (and Gamma World) artist!

This is what happens when you don't cognitively surrender. I really like that term, "cognitive surrender", since it describes that part of your brain is not only going dark, it's given up.

This is not wrong.

Q: Why weren’t faculty consulted? A: On the contrary, Skynet was trained on an extensive archive of pirated humanities articles—hence its misanthropy, overuse of the em dash, and proclivity for always already predictively adding “already” after “always.”

Just two days left on the auctions, but there are dozens of maps available to just buy right now!

Hey, if you are interested in published adventures and the OSR, here is a large back catalog of fantastic reviews and insight for you to enjoy. Fear of a Black Dragon was always an instant listen when new episodes dropped. Jason and Tom are great together and this format works well. #ttrpg

This may be the perfect time to make a dual stick action adventure game and release a demo on Steam... Oh yeah, I am! @playtiltshift.bsky.social #IndieDev #GameDev

We regret to inform you that our plans for the day have been absolutely, irrevocably, completely derailed

So, all the businesses that passed on tariff costs to American consumers, now getting government refunds for those same costs? Refunds should go directly to consumers who actually ended up paying those tariffs. Instead, companies are getting to double-dip. Consumer prices will not suddenly go down.

Wow! As the kid of a pencil-wielding architectural designer in the 1970s-80s, Letraset letters were part of my life, so when I got some of these Star Wars sets, they made total sense! I even had access to a burnishing tool! I have an unopened D&D set someplace.

Unhappy to report the phishing one is quickly becoming a real problem now. Why go to the trouble of social engineering when people will just give up their ID, financial info, biometrics, etc. to an AV portal? There's no standards so how can you differentiate a fake one from a real one?

"ADD ANTI-CHEATING MECHANIC. Player 3 attempted to rig the dice roll and end game early. Give cheaters hives? Turn them into an ugly wolf-person with stupid-looking tail? Fungal rashes? Dysentery? Needs to be both humiliating and jungle-themed."

Studios laying off hundreds and thousands of employees with the excuse that they can move production to the UK and not have to pay for healthcare because the UK has socialized medicine should be humiliating to the US government.

Re: nostalgia for VHS tapes and other analog media, I saw someone say like "a VHS tape never sold my information to a nazi" and yes that's true! But the reason it's true is actually because Congress passed a law in 1988 specifically making it illegal for video stores to sell your rental history

Nope.

Dang.

Such a great image for that con! Happy to have it on a t-shirt!

Do you know about my webstore? I sell zines, comics & prints there. Stuff like this- one of the stranger books I've made. It's just a bunch of jokes and sketches about G1 Against the Giants. Someday I might even make the sequel but for now just go buy this one.
