Way back in the mists of time (c. 1989) I wrote a scenario for the “Call of Cthulhu” RPG. It was published in a book of scenarios inspired by various types of horror movies. Mine was “Dead on Arrival," notable as the first Romeroesque zombie scenario ever published in the RPG industry (AFAIK).

My wife had to go in to work early today, and I had tai chi class this morning, so my son (a HS senior) had the run of the house. And what kind of shenanigans did he get into you ask? I come home to find him sitting on the couch, knitting a scarf and watching Hitchcock’s “Rope.” #SoMyKid

Inside the Department of War are two wolves: "We've shut down the Colleges of War because book learnings are woke, gay, and irrelevant to war fighting." "How come no one told us the Strait is important, there are different kinds of Kurds, Iran is big, and air power historically doesn't win wars?"

No new pictures where are you mentally.

I would rather do a sinus rinse with lemon juice and tobasco sauce than watch one second of this.

If your entire argument against something boils down to, "It's just not for me" but you have to frame it as, "This thing is complete dogshit and never should have been made and you are stupid if you like it and..." then kindly fuck off. Please. Stop mindlessly hating stuff. For clout or otherwise.

I’m on episode 36 of the second season of the old Disney Zorro show. There’s only three more and then the series ends. Kind of lamenting that fact, and then I realized that’s like 8 seasons of any modern show, So there’s that. Also, fuck DJT.

When Iranian news is more honest than American news, if a bit repetitive.

Post your favorite "Lord of the Rings" character, wrong answers only.

File again under: "The writing for the final season of America is a little too on the nose"

Have I mentioned what a cool game Action Heroes is lately? And Chris is a cool person you should support.

ECCC was fun and I had a wonderful time. But there was a storm cloud. When I complained about Trump with my white straight cis friends, we were all sincere and concerned. But I talked with many Trans friends, and it’s so much worse. They are in fear for their lives. 1/

I just got a crumb of Flamin’ Hot Cheeto in my eye. 0/5 stars. Do not recommend.

“A country that can instantly fund endless wars but debates every dime for healthcare and education doesn't have a budget issue--it has a values issue." A billion dollars a day going towards the war in Iran so far.

You're trapped in the last tv show you watched. Where are you? (Which is fine for me, as I have no desire to leave California any time in the near future…)

Me in conversation with my brother (a professor of archeology) a moment ago “you should give extra credit for punching Nazis like any respectable archeology professor would.”

Listened to a “friend” of mine when he convinced me to send a letter which kind of ruined a huge career opportunity for me in my 20s. Actually maybe the entirety of my 20s…

New story release day! My story “the Clearing” is in the inaugural issue of “Nat20,” a neat new magazine of games and fiction. I had a blast writing this piece, and hope you’ll check it out. bookshop.org/p/books/nat2...

Over the past few weeks, a number of people (repeat customers, coworkers, etc.) have commented on how I bring such a "calm energy" to the work environment. And I keep thinking about that line from a Sting song: “I’m not a man of too many faces. The mask I wear is one.”

Hold American history up to the light; at a certain angle, Trumpism seems utterly absurd, nearly impossible. Adjust your wrist by a millimeter, and it appears the obvious, inescapable culmination of all that America is. It’s hard to live with this.

If you find yourself wondering how we’re going to get through this, how we can survive another 3 years, another 3 months, another 3 weeks, Just survive today and worry about the rest after.

I’ve long thought the USA has a lot of gall policing other countries’ nuclear programs, when were the only country on earth who’s ever nuked another.

I am pro Iranian people. I stand with them against their own government’s repression AND against the imperial violence in the form of bombs dropped from the sky from Israel & the US who have already killed hundreds. I support neither imperialism or dictatorship. Sahar Delijani said it best:

🤦🏼‍♀️

The US now has the kind of regime it imposed on so many other countries.

Dutch site IDs ICE agents via public data “ICE aren’t actually fearful of their safety…What they’re fearful of is not being invited to baseball games or not being invited to the pub with their friends. Community exclusion – that’s what they’re fearful of” wiki.icelist.is/index.php/Category:Agents

Thought: if RPG dice are based on Platonic solids, are dice that always roll shitty Antagonistic solids?

Well, I finally did something I've been thinking about doing for over a year now. My Facebook account is scheduled for deletion on March 13th. I'm done with this fascist BS.
