Before Trump fired him for doing his job, former FTC Commissioner @bedoyausa.bsky.social spent 3 years meeting with working people across America. He discovered they all had one thing in common: the corporate elite were bleeding them dry. www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2OH...

I just got my blood test results back and I have a lung infection. I've dealt with this in the past but it's fairly devastating. I will likely be less active for the next 2-3 weeks.

BREAKING: Two Democratic Reps. are introducing a bill to raise the federal minimum wage to $25/hr and eliminate subminimum wages. Reps. Delia Ramirez and Analilia Mejia are introducing the bill, saying it's unacceptable that the minimum wage has been stuck at $7.25 since 2009.

Another Troika RPG sheet. I drew this in a hotel in Mexico, oddly enough.

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $271B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $231B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

A character tries to roll a skill check in D&D, Pirate Borg, or another RPG. They fail. Can they try again? (Now on the blog) alphastream.org/index.php/20...

The Brits appear ready to shame the US news media into covering this, distracted as they are by gazing at their own navels ...

"We've decided to guess where planes might be in the air based on an algorithm written to predict what racist conspiracy theory an 8chan user might post next. Oh, and it makes shit up, just like that 8channer."

Meta just paid the lowest effective federal tax rate in its history. Thanks to tax breaks and loopholes, it avoided $13.7B in 2025 federal income taxes. But now it's planning to lay off 10% of its global workforce (8,000 people) by May 20 — with more job cuts later this year. Trickle down hoax.

Word is that Lou Zocchi passed today. He was one of the earliest distributors of RPGs, helping them to get out to players across the country. He published foundational early RPGs like Space Patrol and Superhero: 2044 (the latter the first superhero RPG). www.reddit.com/r/dice/comme...

Birthday painting for my buddy Gaz, who goes by Brutal Whimsy on Instagram! Awesome artist and friend, really glad I got to meet him. Our weekly voice chats are always a highlight!

Has anyone out there ever filed a technical patent? I'm considering one (assuming the patent search is clear) and, besides obvious legal involvement, would like to know what's involved in actually writing one.

Watching the 2010 movie and John Lithgow is so freaking great in it. I remember thinking how realistic the special effects were, not like Doctor Who (which I did love too). Watching it now it looks so Dr Who!

Yes. Yes you are 💔

I was really inspired by the You Cannot Play this TTRPG jam - so I decided to make something for it. Here is a character sheet I have designed for a game about Goblins which you will never, ever, be able to play.

I'm never sad about killing of characters, indeed I'm generally positively gleeful about it and delight in how angry many of you will be about it. Because I'm a monster, you see.

This is a well-documented pattern in medical research and reflects systemic gender bias in pain assessment and treatment.👇

This Brazilian Portuguese cover to Cairn: Barebones Edition by @crawlstilho.bsky.social is really amazing.

Dungeon Crawl Classics! I played a lot of DCC between 2013 and 2016. Been a minute, but I love the game.

To be clear, this isn’t some nefarious plot by RPG companies. It’s due to ad spends, due to algorithms, due to the math of crowdfunding. If you want to pay employees, want to cover your retirement and health care, understanding these dynamics is a necessity.

The effective federal corporate income tax rate: 1950: 50% 1990: 25% 2020: 13% Stop asking "but how we will pay for it?" Restore the corporate tax rate. That is how we will pay for it.

I got the new cover (without font issues) for Action-Heroes uploaded to DriveThru, and now it's just a matter of going through the process on their end. The print version of Action-Heroes Unearthed has also been set up. Hopefully I can get them both in one order and get them both approved at once.

If this is true, and I have no doubt that is, it is jaw dropping in the fact that the billionaire-owned media is not reporting on it everyday.
