Gobsmacked my 8 year old recognized the Sydney Opera House in Mario Kart 8. She explains: “I know curves and stuff because you explain boring things to me.”

Please do not unquestionably repeat executives’ dubious claims that they just HAD to lay off thousands due to AI efficiency gains. (Note that the linked article is actually more carefully phrased.) Quoted post gets ONE mulligan because “Meat” made me LOL. H/T to @spavel.bsky.social

#PortfolioDay Hi! I'm Bruno Prosaiko, a Brazilian freelance cartoonist and comic artist. I create illustrations and illustrated character sheets. Instagram: www.instagram.com/prosaiko/ Tabletop Games: prosaiko.itch.io My Webcomic: prosaiko.itch.io/bizharr1

Inspired by the responses in this post -- okay, GM's, what are you keeping all your world-building stuff in? Using one of the dedicated sites? I've got everything in a player-facing Google Drive folder. Did I watch Youtube videos to learn to make character sheets in Google Sheets Of COURSE I did.

Kennedy canceled $500 million in mRNA research and announced no new mRNA projects will ever be initiated—killing the technology that produced the fastest vaccine rollout in human history.

This link’s about the street-level popularity of VRchat and what I find fascinating is that Zuckerberg And his ilk looked at this deeply touching human experience and then wasted $80 billion dollars trying to make legless conference rooms and shopping malls. Their own impoverished souls doomed them.

I understand that Democratic leadership sees a failed impeachment vote as politically problematic, but I also think it may be even more dangerous to shrug and move on like nothing happened after the president openly threatened genocide. time.com/article/2026...

I have a folder titled “Nice Things” where I put screenshots to cheer me up and boost my confidence. (Maybe you could use one too.) Thanks to Jacob, whoever you are, for the entry that made me smile today.

What is zonecore? Creating Exclusion Zone Botanist led me to search for the origins and critical works of the genre, including Roadside Picnic. Here are five elements of zonecore and a list of tabletop games for inspiration: omnes.exeunt.press/p/what-is-zo... #zonecore #ttrpg #boardgames #ezb

Phew! All clear! Back to work, everyone! Situation normal until next time the war criminal in chief promises genocide.

THIS. For all the people living in a world where thy really believe why didn’t happen couldn’t happen. That fool spoke this out loud into the world with his whole chest, and when you’re in a powerful position of responsibility and authority, what you say you might do matters.

I don’t believe that I can accomplish my political aims by denouncing my country’s dangerous, right-wing leaders on social media, so I don’t usually bother—but today feels like an especially important day to state that Donald Trump should not have control of a nuclear arsenal.

i've been quite skeptical of manned spaceflight but we have big machines that turn pilots and scientists into poets and i think we should keep using them

The Times deliberately left out, "Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!" An appalling omission from a media outlet actively trying to help President Trump.

“Raise your hand if you think life is an illusion,” my 8 year old said at dessert. I really expected to have a few more years before I had to field this one.

First edition was a big inspiration for me 👀

I'm looking for folks to staff my booth at cons throughout the year. They'd need to be familiar with Cairn, obviously. DM me or email [email protected] if you're interested and I'll send you a form to fill out.

Attended a lovely dinner with UX professionals last night in Boston. It made me realize I need to actually get out of my home and do that more in person. It’s nice to meet online, but it’s so great to really get into it and talk shop face-to-face.

I’m not sure I’ve ever empathised with a creator more than when Townsend releases what he thinks is the best thing he’s ever done and it’s only a mid hit and then he lies in a hole for a year, then gives up and goes and writes a rock opera instead.

Can you truly begin to support women's rights if you do not also support women's wrongs?

Been sifting through old sci-fi art with my 8 year old for a game we’re working on. She’s a big fan of this one. Just assumes this guy deserves whatever’s about to happen.

I’m winding down with two clients I’ve been working with since January, which means I’ve got some availability for new work opening up soon. If you need a designer who thinks deeply about systems, teams, and users, AND who will ooh+ahh over an especially pretty serif, I’d love to chat with you!

Some really fantastic UXUI resources in here. www.humblebundle.com/books/visual...

Seeing all these games’ covers in one place really drives home how much this publisher’s diverse catalog and generous spirit has inspired me over the years.

Spent the past month whipping the capitalism machine, so let's give back a little. We have 53 Pay What You Want titles on @drivethrurpg.com: Every genre, original settings, and inspired mashups. And if you can only afford zero dollars, please: pay zero dollars www.drivethrurpg.com/en/publisher...

Still a little short on travel funds for BREAKOUT CON, so for the next 72 hours you can grab everything I've ever made for $40! Repost & shares are appreciated! Grab it here: bit.ly/4sRrGbj

Whenever we go to the cafe on the weekend, my 8 year old excitedly grabs colored pencils and Skyrealms by @thelostbaystudio.com & @evlynmoreau.bsky.social for us to color in together. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

It's bizarre how they make their decisions. I'm currently trying to do a sequel to Campfire Cards which was a huge hit. @systemmastery.bsky.social have sold almost 200k (maybe 250k) across their cook/drink book line had a pitch rejected because "beer isn't doing well right now

Great piece from @laurahazardowen.bsky.social at @niemanlab.org on the Grammarly horror show. www.niemanlab.org/2026/03/a-lo...

Welcome to New England, where it is 70°F with 6" of snow on the ground

There is no more dogged investigative reporter than a child at bedtime

My 8 year old just learned I dated women before her mother—and was even dating someone when I met her mother! “Who was she—a fancy lady with butt cheeks that looked like regular cheeks?!”

How I arrived on BlueSky:

in a more just world i would be teaching a semester-long game design unit about 2400. it's probably the single TTRPG thing i've evangelized the most! jasontocci.itch.io/2400

Wait wait wait I just realized Pandy, on Gabby’s Dollhouse? That thing he always says? It’s a PUN. “Are you kitten me?” MAN, those writers know how to commit to the bit.

DID YOU KNOW? When startup leaders refer to candidates as "hungry" as if that's a good thing, you cannot be prosecuted for biting them

It’s great to live in a country where the insecure 12 year olds and the Waffen SS jerkoff wannabe’s alternate power on a day to day basis.

What happens when a motley group of thieves sets out to rob an ancient spacefaring tomb before it falls into a black hole? Find out this November in ETERNITY'S TOMB. dmoren.com/writing/eternitys-...

Here's a handy summary of the stuff I say over and over. www.journal.designlabs.net/p/erika-hall

Would really prefer real news to stop echoing historical headlines from the post-apocalyptic RPG I’ve been running, replete with supposedly over-the-top satire

I didn’t realize anyone was debating this, but it’s a great read. Brutal takedown that may make you wince if you’ve ever been in a creative writing class, but great read.

I’ll always be grateful to my pragmatic advisor, who encouraged me to pursue hands-on, research-driven design classes as part of my PhD, and whose only comment about closing my acknowledgments with my girlfriend (now wife) was to laugh and rib me with, “When are you going to propose to her?” RIP ❤️

The amusing side issue here is that we spent, on LEVERAGE, an enormous amount of time trying to come up with fake cartoonishly evil corporation names, only to be foiled by actual cartoonishly evil corporations with those names.

Look, you may blame The Writers for really going overboard in an already crazy year, but who among us has not struggled with fucking clearances on character names.

Signal boosting this in hopes it reaches people who don’t have a head cold, do have more brain power to engage thoughtfully

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” Guillotines. We’re really, really excited about guillotines.

Follow @petridishes.bsky.social directly to reduce the likelihood of seeing terrific headlines like this in the wild, sans byline. Save yourself from thinking, “No. This has got to be—but could it—? No. Please be satire.”

Friendly internet people: “I love how you did this in your game” Me, a terrible human: “I have no idea what you’re talking about—I changed that years ago in the version I have yet to release publicly”
