I am afraid of what happens in November. Fear won't stop me from doing things I need to, I would be lying if I said I wasn't afraid.

When I was growing up and learning about gun safety, I learned that you should assume every gun is loaded for safety. You make sure to check the weapon and clear it, but you start with the assumption that the gun is loaded. Men are the guns. Get it now?

Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

I was reviewing Star Trek #1. It's good, but I had a question about one character, specifically their species. I went looking for an interview about it. Couldn't find that interview. I found was an AI summary that absolutely had incorrect information & I know someone will take that as fact. 1/2

well. two months before my four-year anniversary, my role at wizards has been made redundant, and I have been laid off. i have a lot of feelings i'll probably never put words to, except to say that i don't regret a single day and have so much love for anyone else affected and those who remain.

When Elon Musk's groups spent $20M+ on Wisconsin's 2025 Supreme Court race, his involvement backfired and his candidate lost by 10 points. Now his super PAC has quietly spent $14M+ on key midterm races, including the Texas Senate race. Would be a shame if people found out.

Elon Musk is flying under the radar in the Texas Senate race. Republicans want to keep it that way.

One Republican involved in the Texas Senate contest called Musk’s in-your-face campaigning in Wisconsin last year “a mis

One thing I miss from before covid and earlier is that there was a lot more "just hang out with people" in my life. Now it is all online, which is fine, but not quite the same as sharing space with someone. Hell, I even miss roommates, let alone other kinds of relationships. It's lonely out here.

Few fandoms are as unhinged and disconnected to the implications of their own fiction as Warhammer 40k fans. Don't get me wrong. I like Warhammer 40k a lot, but I have run into more than a few fans who failed to understand the whole point of the setting is that they are sad tragedies and failing.

A friend said we should make the tech bro's read/watch more scifi. I would put forward that they read plenty; they just didn't understand what they were reading/watching. They saw Star Trek but didn't process all the warnings in it. Don't get me started on what they got from Starship Troopers. 1/4

I will also never understand the "well I have to use AI to make custom art for my players" because they feel like it is required to have that for a game to be good. Who lied to you? Who told you that was the minimum standard? Really your players are not going to abandon you for not having that.

Just to clarify, my resistance to AI in the ttrpg hobby is not born out of ignorance. I have literally gone to AI conferences, and I work in IT. Some versions of AI are actually useful and do good things for science, medicine, and other specific uses. Generative AI and LLM's are not like that 1/

I saw some man babies complaining about the idea that Taika Waititi is attached to the next Judge Dredd. They were mad that he would make it a comedy. Tell me you have never read the comics without telling me you never read the comics. Dredd was always satire. Taika is perfect for Judge Dredd.

Dolly Parton was the best of us. She was one of the kind of people we all should want to be like. She spent her life giving and treating everyone with kindness and respect. She never forgot where she was from and spent a good portion of her life trying to uplift it. This hit me hard today.
