just in case anyone wondered what was going on the background of my life, and people i value, trust, consider friends etc's lives, all last year.

It would be ethically disastrous to try to reprint YBB without these creators' contributions. People who pick up the reprint would be doing so off the back of the awards and word of mouth created by the excised contributions of these artists. That just doesn't work.

Masterclass of nonsense that tries to pretend that Gygax was writing "ancestrally charged" stuff because of medieval folklore despite the fact that D&D is a Western and extremely 19th century, not 13th.

The author of a controversial memo from centrist think tank Searchlight telling Democrats to abandon the slogan “Abolish ICE” is a senior advisor for WestExec, a D.C. shadow lobbyist for corporations in the defense, surveillance, and immigration enforcement industries. prospect.org/2026/01/19/a...

Killing Floor 40,000

"Do you want a sandwich?" Schumer asks each constituent in turn. Just to gauge interest, not because he has anything to give them.

SMART GIRLS SAVE THE WORLD

Hi! I'm Ishmael and I am completely new to Bluesky! I am looking for 800 of my closest friends hashtag year of the smile :)

Preview of "Calesita", an indie Argentinian music video directed by Sike at Bellolandia studio for the song by Salacia (coming fall 2026). www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbZ5...

One of the most frustrating things about talking about RPGs on the internet is people so entrenched in their narrow paradigms that it’s literally not possible to have a conversation with them. We’re not speaking the same language. There’s nowhere to start.

"They had an 'idiot' [baka] size so I ordered it and, true to word, received an idiotic serving of rice"

I like making these little promo graphics for myself when I'm prepping a campaign half the battle is learning that the kerning being .0005% off drives me mad.

today I'm going to dilly and/or dally

Look at my Steak n' Shake, man.

Been deep in the Deviant mines lately and reading Black Vans. Really amazed by how Zawadzki is able to reframe the conspiracy mechanics in so many different ways in Chapter 5. What if each node was a planet, a quest/scenario in a story arc, or post-apocalyptic dangers/situations?

some #ofthedevil fanart while i recover from con crud... when in doubt, draw morgan when u cannot comprehend sentences 😏

Sue Storm as Dio Brando

I know Trump is a vindictive demon, but are you seriously trying to appeal to people about Slotkin? She’s a CIA operative during the Bush administration, probably a torturer. She’s voted for so many Trump policies and she’s being groomed to be the next Chuck Schumer. Idgaf if Trump threatens her.

Louvre worthy

I expected this from Gunship, but et tu Brut? Tragic.

This. Fuck, this so often

Every time I start a new Rogue Trader run (because I keep restarting every six months), no matter how hard I try, I end up just playing Olivier Armstrong.

The knee jerk reaction against metaplots has damaged TTRPGs with overcorrection. And then, they managed to bring back all the worst parts of the metaplots, but without all the benefits of it. V5 has no metaplot, in ten years nothing has happened, but somehow everything is still about fucking Beckett

How do we feel about metaplots in TTRPGs in 2026

From me: “ICE agents detain Navajo man in Peoria, ignoring US, tribal IDs”

Having been in the professional music community means having to know the degree to which Hans Zimmer is a completely useless asshole and his success and reputation are entirely stolen from the actual workers he exploits

Midzel for my darling @hyrinku.bsky.social that I drew in december~ #midna #zelda #midzel

Zimmer makes the most boring soundtracks imaginable. There's a reason why his entire run with Nolan only produces one good song while Tenet's entire album is a banger.

Happy 30th Anniversary to Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell

I’d link to “how nonviolence protects the state” but I don’t know if the pure WASPiness of “f bombs are vile, dehumanizing language” deserves a response beyond “fuck you”

Please watch Lupin III this year

"Eternal Family" by Koji Morimoto & Studio 4°C available for free on Youtube. An obscure mini-series (52 episodes of 30 seconds) commissioned in 1997 by NTT Infosphere. >> www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5w8...

Just watched a video where a bunch of teens reenacted Expiration Date and, let me tell you, the kids are alright

I knew I wasn't part of the core target audience when I saw this.

And we're live! www.youtube.com/live/OCFBRxf...

2/ They don't necessarily want to play 5e (or any official D&D edition), but they want the battle maps, the miniatures and the thrills of a critical hit. They don't even know why they want those, but the pervasive power of WotC's marketing has convinced them that "true" TTRPGs need to include them.

I just really need my gofundme to succeed. Would appreciate if any of my mutuals retweeted my pinned post. Need all the eyes I can get. Time is running out for me

My insurance won’t cover my breast augmentation revision surgery. The previous surgeon was awful and left me with pain and even more dysphoria. This year is my last chance to get this done. I could never afford this by myself so I’d appreciate any help at all. Plz share 🏳️‍⚧️❤️ gofund.me/421820384

The Business Schoolification of the University

"All things considered, Teaching with AI is not without value; it is a case study in how even well-meaning educators operating in good faith can become inadvertent agents of a pedagogical de-skilling and institutional dehumanization."

The job market in Indiana is so bad right now I'm considering running for office.

And now, for something completely different: a Ghibli-inspired tank. Made from a model kit I assembled as a child, in extremely poor condition, now recycled.

The tide has shifted so hard against AI slop that every AI generated content disclosure these days sounds like an apology.
