Share the last 4 TTRPGs you played and expose your gaming habits. Or don’t and show you have a spine somewhere in that meatsack your maladaptive mind is piloting for the moment. Vaesen Dragonbane Deadlands Delta Green/Call of Cthulhu (can't remember which was more recent, but there was SAN loss)

If you really want to dress up like German army guys then dress up like these Germans who fought to save the Union and free the slaves. Unless you're an actual fucking Nazi.

I have a signed copy of "Lost Echoes" in my library. It's another example of Joe Lansdale blending genres in ways that serve the story, wherever it might end up. I'll back this. If you don't, maybe you should take a long, honest look at your life and figure out where you went wrong.

Another "Impossible Landscapes" session goes sideways. I see not one of those fumbles happened on a Firearms roll. Hmmm ... Without a critical failure on a pew-pew roll, maybe Agent Morgan ended Agent Martian because Morgan thought Martian had it coming. Then again, maybe Carcosa.

While Amazon is investing billions of dollars to expand AI, independent bookstores are hosting community events, personally recommending books to readers, and providing a space that is safe and welcoming during a time when we need them most. Never underestimate the power of a local bookstore.

What happens to democracy when government records vanish? James Jacobs, Jim Jacobs, & Shari Laster discuss how libraries, archivists & advocates protect public access in the latest Future Knowledge #podcast, PRESERVING GOVERNMENT INFORMATION. 🎧 Listen: futureknowledge.transistor.fm
Podcast cover for Episode #9 of "Future Knowledge" titled "Preserving Government Information." The design features portraits of the three guests—James Jacobs, Jim Jacobs & Shari Laster—arranged in a grid. Surrounding them are collage-style retro-futuristic elements, including a classical statue head, a vintage computer with the word "NEW" on its screen, a modernist observation tower, and abstract architectural shapes. The title uses bold, blocky typography, giving the cover a vintage sci-fi aesthetic.

So it’s “illegal” for the CIA to spy within the United States, but it’s OK for ICE. Got it. (Note: It is not OK for any branch, extension, iteration or polyp of the government to randomly spy on us. Just because government does a thing does not make it OK.)

Fact check: mRNA vaccines for respiratory viruses are meant to prevent severe illness (bad Pneumonia). This means beefing up our immunity in the *lower* respiratory tract, eg the lungs. Kennedy talks about the *upper* respiratory tract and vaccine efficacy in nonsensical gibberish.
