THIRTY YEARS AGO: Digging through crates at the indie music store, listening to college radio 20 hours a day TWENTY YEARS AGO: SoulSeek, BitTorrent, Hype Machine, ILM TODAY: Holding Shazam over my head at the grocery store, praying a cashier doesn’t make an announcement

Wife made me Beepbeep Breakfast Cars so being 37 is pretty good so far.

FUN FACT: Cervantes wrote the second volume because other writers started publishing fan-fics continuing Don Quixote's adventures without his knowledge and got mad when he found.

Baldur's Gate III is set in the enduringly popular Shrek universe

His name is literally "HE-MAN". The most pronoun name ever. I constantly play this game of "are grifters really this dense, or do they just expect their audience to be?" The answer is both obviously but it still hurts my brain seeing the endless feedback loop of asshole to asshole reinforcement.

ELRIC: Don't worry, I have a plan! MOONGLUM: Are you sure you don't want to share that plan? Maybe workshop it a bit? ELRIC: No, it's a good plan! MOONGLUM: Is it though? ELRIC: It will definitely work! MOONGLUM: Will it though!?

This post looks like the start of a horror ARG.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.

I think we’ve got better and more culturally-varied street food than I could have imagined, cool jackets galore, and drugs that make us think we’re really fast and strong before they kill us.

You: "System matters! Verisimilitude! Rulings vs Rules! Blorb Principles!" Me: "There's a giant hollow tree and goblins live inside who cosplay as bees. Their 'grubs' are six overfed possums. There is a jar labeled 'Royal Jelly' on the top shelf of their pantry that is just strawberry jam."

Profits go down: We regret to announce that we have to destroy the world. Profits go up: We're delighted to announce that we have to destroy the world.

$77 billion could have solved homelessness in America for over 8 years, but they had to make second life with no legs.

I actually broke out my brush pens for this piece and I'm pretty happy with it. I was going for "AD&D Monster Manual Chic" and I think I got there. It's a cover for the little zine lair I made yesterday:

Yes. I did. Thank you for asking.

I made a little dungeon/lair for your low-level old-school games today. It probably needs a second pass, but I wanted to make something in a day. If you read it or run it, please let me know what you think. metalsnail.itch.io/raiders-of-t...

In 2003, Wikipedia held a logo design contest. Here are four of the finalists:

For over a decade I have tied my shoes one specific way: Ian's Secure Shoelace Knot. I learned it from Ian (aka Professor Shoelace) whose site is over two decades old. The knot has never failed me. I spoke with Ian about knots and the dangers of the modern internet. aftermath.site/ians-shoelac...

Being around high school students for a couple years now. It's clear that the visibility of trans people has improved the lives of kids. Even kids who aren't trans have language and ideas that lets them be more free, less trapped by expectations. The mere existence of trans people benefits us all.

Went to a local punk show and I can confirm that all rock is dad rock now.

Always appreciate satire that exposes the Trump admin’s hypocrisy, but this is a bit too on the nose. Thanks for the look, but I’m going to pass.

Good morning. They're going to sell you the lie of provocateurs. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/theyre-goi...

CUPE is outraged by the United States’ unlawful and lethal attack on the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. We are shocked that the U.S. military bombed this sovereign nation. This is a clear violation of international law and the UN Charter.

I think I'm winning at Bluesky because I haven't seen anyone posting Isabelle discourse except to complain that they hate all the Isabelle discourse.

I think the AI angle of this is obscurant. It doesn’t matter that grok is “an AI” whatever you take that to mean. Suppose X hired a team of guys to photoshop the clothes off of women and children whenever anyone asks. That’s functionally identical what happening here. It’s not complicated.

GREAT news we have added a new column to the chessboard and a new piece that can move any direction within a 4-square area called The Drunk

Sorry, I had to genuinely laugh out loud while taking a crap; but this horror sundae was topped with an absurdist cherry and I couldn't help myself.

any time an outlet does this the byline is always nameless for the same reason ICE wear masks and it's about time we start treating those behaviors the same

C’mon 2026! Break the streak!

What is up my friends. Looking back on this year is depressing as I have accomplished nothing in my professional, personal or artistic life. I have never needed a fresh start as much as I do this year, so watch this space for me getting disillusioned and falling off the wagon sometime in March.

My great niece has prepared a "grape clock" so we eat all the 12 grapes properly when the bells strike twelve times. (the Spanish tradition is to eat a grape with each of the clock's bell rings and NOT die on the attempt)

okay so like as of midnight "the best of the 80's, 90's, and today" has "today" covering over a quarter of a century of music since the 90s can we retire this radio phrase yet

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

The headspace here is something I can't fathom. Why would you want to tie yourself to someone you couldn't work together with? Did Gen Xers just marry whomever? I'm so confused.
