If Frankenstein is the modern Prometheus, sitting next to bread fresh out of the oven is the modern Tantalus.

Folks, I just got hit with a bunch of bills totaling almost $4,500. For the love of all that's holy point me to some work *somewhere*.

To provide context for kids in the audience who don't know any Arabic: There is, in fact, an Arabic word which means submission. Like, precisely that, not just a close equivalent. That Arabic word is Islam. These jamokes could not be less qualified.

It's Bisexual Visibility Day as well as the Rapture. What are the odds that the number of Christians vanishing is more or less equal to the number of bisexuals suddenly appearing, making it look like nothing's changed?

Arr, correlation be not causation, ye scurvy swabs! There be avast epistemological gap betwixt the two!

Concerning SU gutting itself, I don't want to bag on this guy for his terrible, terrible take, but as a classics-adjacent person, I feel compelled to reply: If.

Unenthusiastic reaction to my Hawaiian-Latin American fusion food. The reaction is generally "Arroz con poi? Oh."

John Lee Hooker with a diagram of the evolution of the Blues.

I think the information density article has reached the natural limits of it coverage, because with @stevenmarsh.bsky.social's latest Daily Illuminator (www.sjgames.com/ill/archive/...), I can't think of how to run Doom on a bunch of oxcarts.

Evergreen skeet.

I remember it being the wildest thing that I was able to hop into a @stevejacksongames.bsky.social playtest (want to say Low Tech for GURPS third edition) from an airport lounge in Seoul and a few years later pay a utility bill from a hotel office in County Cork. That would not be remarkable now.

I AM PROTECTED FROM THE FIRST HORSEMAN THROUGH THE POWER OF SCIENCE!

Less broadly marketable stuff? [Considers recent history of publishing supplements for a legacy gaming system about more obscure aspects of commerce and government operations.] Way ahead of you.

Timecrime bacon.

Unauthorized Marvel/DC crossover as Stan Lee becomes a Black Lantern.

This is why no one should ever attempt to write a military history book called “Reconnaissance in the Renaissance”--for surely derangement would follow.

Fun* fact: As every archaeologist and pre-modern historian knows, infant mortality (death before age 5) was routinely around 50% (yes, half of all young children) before the introduction of vaccines and modern sanitation. * No fun at all

Should have that along with pasta putanesca for a disreputable Italian dinner.

One of the upsides to having an oven made in 1948.

What I remember most about #GURPS Space is that it felt like it took so long to come out. IIRC, it had been delayed from its original pub date, and since we were playing mostly SF at the time, the lack was almost painful. Of course, it probably wasn't more than a few months late, but we were young.

Dear All-- I had an idea for an RPG show a couple of years ago, but I needed a few good nerdy partners and I found them. We've been working on this for over a year and in October it will arrive. It will be epic. What is it? Who is involved? Well, you'll have to watch this space to find out!

The one viable way of getting a group of adults together to game.

Saw (will not RS toxic sludge) an ai-generated image of a Crusader knight and an Crusader-styled knight wearing a star of David, proposing a Judeo-Christian alliance against Islam. In case anyone doesn't already know, this is stupid and

Sleepy potat.

In other news, this means BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREAD BREA

After considerable effort, the oven has been fixed. Inshallah, it'll be good for another 75 years now.

Baby elephant time!

I wholeheartedly and unreservedly endorse more bread.

Add "— and I cannot stress this enough —" to a movie line. I am— and I cannot stress this enough —shocked to learn that there is gambling going on here! I am big! It's the pictures— and I cannot stress this enough —that got small. Rose— and I cannot stress this enough —bud...

Cinnamon rolls are one of the few things where I don't have absurdly high standards. I even like bad cinnamon rolls. This 9" monster, however, was not a bad cinnamon roll.

Their political positions are well down the list of reasons we're snubbing them.

Seeing @fenbeast.bsky.social posting the live bear cams reminded me that my favorite game resort in South Africa has a live cam as well. It's night in Africa right now, but I remember the cam being well sited for when animals do come by.

Science!

An occasional reminder that "cavemen" did not exist. Grumpy, pedantic thread:

MS WILLENDORF IST IM HAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, he had it coming...

BABY CAPYBARA. THIS IS NOT A DRILL.

Customer feedback this week; ‘Please can you get some more diversity at the National Trust by encouraging more hot men to visit.’ Ideas for how we do this v welcome. Nothing too racy please - we are the National Trust not the National Tryst.

Cool that it's from 1948, but finding replacement parts is absurd.

A profound and terrible truth.

We are living in a Carolingian world And I'm a Carolingian girl

Have discovered the word "she-intelligencer" and must now find pretexts to use it.

Too far northwest for me, kids. Somebody else needs to do this one.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that

Sure, the one source we used is nearly a century old with all the potential flaws that implies. That's why we didn't bother to read it closely and handed it off to the planet-destroying Cliff Claven simulator. CHECKMATE, HISTORIANS!
