We adopted a little orange cat six weeks ago and holy shit she brings us constant joy and laughter. Her shenanigans get me laughing so hard I can’t breathe sometimes. When she’s not being a chaos gremlin, she curls up with her giant half-bengal brother in the window and melts our hearts.

Hummingbirds are really good at teaching you patience, because they will stay in one place until you point a camera at them, then they’ll zoom away instantly and you have to have the willpower not to point the camera at where you think they went. But if you succeed, you get pictures like this.

"When Dimension 20 began, our goal posts were, 'Let's be the funniest TTRPG show," says Sam Reich, who was made CEO of CollegeHumor in 2020. Reich echoes Mulligan, believing episode two was when he knew it had sauce. "It shocked me to attention," he says. "I got the same laughs I get watching comedy, the same sense of immersion I get reading a novel. A byproduct of comedy is that it lowers audience defenses. When defenses are down, you're more susceptible to emotionally resonant storytelling. Between those spaces are where you can hook people."
