Vimeo is changing their terms of service. We looked at moving all of our videos to another service. All were either prohibitively expensive, or would post our work to streaming services, charging our fans $$$ and paying us nickels. So, they're all on YouTube now. Enjoy! youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Questions I would love to hear asked by members of the White House Press Corp who have stopped caring about consequences: "Mr. President, is it true that between 1982 and 1988 you snorted your own body weight in cocaine?" Feel free to play along.

A Paladin's Bargain dropped another episode yesterday. podcasts.apple.com/.../a-paladi... This one makes me emotional. Both the story and the wonderful character acting. (Don't start with this one, you'll have no context. But when you get here, it's so good.)

I like to believe it is possible for people to change, to grow, to become better. There is a great deal of evidence that I am delusional. But there is also Robert Downey Jr. He's not perfect. But he's better. And that's something. Here's to the people who are cleaning up their messy selves.

We're alive! And season two is coming... TOMORROW! It's been a long road and we're excited to be here! Hang on to your hats, season two is going to be intense!

This is an advertisement for an audio drama podcast called A Paladin's Bargain.
A black and white drawing of three fantasy characters. From left to right: Garnett, a Tabaxi female which is a feline human (like a werewolf, only a cat). She is wearing a light top and dark pants. She has her head lowered as if leading into a fight. The text below her says "Garnett, Rogue, (moderately reformed)."
Rowan, a bald human male. He is wearing armor and has a large sword over his left shoulder. His eyebrow is raised at a jaunty angle. The text below him says, "Rowan, ex-Paladin (retired, not fallen)."
Despair, a Tiefling female (she has pointy ears and horns curled like ram's horns). She's wearing a vest and blouse and dress, with a large belt and a pouch on her hip. She has her left arm extended and her hand is surrounded by a magical glow. The text below her says, "Despair, Warlock, I guess? (also, vegetarian.)
To the right is the series name (A Paladin's Bargain), the announcement (Season Two June 20, 2026), and the website (www.paladinsbargain.com)

As I pondered my "long term goal" of being a professional creative, making art to support my existence in our culture, I suddenly realized that I am about a decade from "retirement age". Which means in 10 years I can just focus on creativity. Of course, that's not what I had in mind. Whatever.

Given our somewhat feral nature, our natural curiosity and problem solving skills, our willingness to experiment, our desire to be supportive to our peers, and our elastic relationship with ideas like gender and personal expression, I'm going to go ahead and assert that Gen X is the best at sex.

Cesare Borgia was the primary model for the ideal ruler in Machiavelli's The Prince. True. Cesare Borgia was the model for modern "white Jesus". False, although some depictions may have used him as a model. Cesare Borgia was the first recorded medical treatment of syphilis. True. The more you know.

Jon Sewell @jontsewell.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

I was thinking that the current POTUS will probably be the last Boomer President we're forced to endure. So, that seems like progress. I fully expect Gen X to be largely skipped in executive level leadership on a national level. Which might be for the best. We're fucking feral.

Not sure how my obviously ridiculous hot take on Jolene somehow became a subject of anything other than a chuckle, but I guess that's the world now. I'd like to issue a formal apology to Dolly, her husband and Jolene. Your relationship is none of my business, even if you sing about it.

030

Jon Sewell @jontsewell.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

For immediate release: When Dolly is singing about how hot Jolene is, it's because she is smitten with Jolene. Dude isn't even named in the song... It's just a thinly veiled invitation to run away together. I will not be taking questions.

Television show idea: Donald Trump is held accountable, removed from office and goes to prison where he is followed around by a camera crew documenting how much he hates the food, and the beds, and he just complains and rambles and then I shut it off and sleep like a baby.

Yesterday while out for a walk with my wife some guy in the back seat of an extended cab truck yelled "faggot!", presumably at me. It's been over a quarter of a century since someone yelled at me like that. I said to Melissa, "He looks like a construction worker. Hope I get a chance to fire him."

On Saturday, September 6th I will be delivering the outlandishly titled talk "How to make the Tarot work 100% of the time". This will be at Horizon Lodge in Seattle. I've heard a rumor that we're going to record/post the video. So, watch for that! Also - be brave and kind. Thanks.

Just watched Goonies with Melissa for her first time. A story about an Astoria family who's children risk their lives in search of treasure to save the family home, defeat land developers and ride bikes without helmets. This is my generation. Doing dumb shit to fight against greedy assholes.

The whole world right now: "Did that just fucking happen?" It'll be a minute while we all decide what happens next. Removing him from office right now would go a long way to preserving what little opportunity we have for long term survival as a species. Or, you know. We don't.

I run D&D for friends and I've become absolutely enamored with The Harpers. I've fleshed out the organization, used the code, enacted initiations, developed passwords, and above all, I really love the idea of people supporting order while combating tyranny. Writing a funeral now and tearing up.
