BREAKING NEWS: “Do geese see God” is a palindrome

Wipeout 2097 was my first introduction to electronic music I actually liked. "2 untalented" and their hit song "No lyrics" as a mates mum called it could feck off but 2097 was banger after banger.

The fact of the matter is that if we don't want people resorting to asking LLMs to solve their coding problems for them, we as a community have gotta get a LOT more willing to field questions whose answers we regard as painfully obvious.

Lots of people in #TTRPG make perfect the enemy of good and could probably enjoy most systems if they didn't over think them. (Settings sure they can easily be problematic but most systems could probably be fun)

Well done to the @memoriesofsunshine.bsky.social team for the frankly astonishing turnaround on the Embers of Humanity Kickstarter. (Months, mind blowing) The book is lovely, and I'll be aiming to blow on the dying fire and see if we can kindle something with my group soon.

The cover of a role playing game: Embers of Humanity.

It's depicts a ruined city with a large orange rift in the sky and a ramshackle settlement in the street.

I missed the original stuff this thread was about but this is interesting as always. In this instance, as a Brit of a certain age, I'm mostly commenting because I saw Coxon and now have "Freaking out" by Graham Coxon in my head. What an absolute banger that song is. Even as an earworm.

I have a mighty need! Who can point me in the direction of a trans artist that can do pen&ink/scratchboardy style illustrations (inspo attached) and will draw one in exchange for coin? gAI users need not apply, you will be sacrificed to a god of my choosing

2 black and white illustrations by Douglas Smith. One shows a boy standing on the stairs looking at a long stretching corridor. The other shows a man and a woman running down an alleyway with creepy shadows behind them.

Randomly occured to me I would never get to introduce my son, due Novemberish, to my Dad, who passed away in 2024, and randomly and very very briefly burst into choking sobs at my desk. Absolutely fine 3s later +- some snot. If you're wondering how fucking weird grief and stress can be.

The first episode of WORZEL GUMMIDGE (1979) sees the loveable scarecrow come alive for the first time, and it's directed like a scene from an Italian zombie film. Lucio Fulci would approve!

1/x Captain Richard Phillips of the Maersk Alabama is taken hostage in a lifeboat, and US Navy SEALs end it after five days. The snipers dealt with the guys in the lifeboat. The Belgians dealt with the guy at the top of the whole trade. A thread.

My brother @mrtimnewman.bsky.social and I share a vivid memory of waking up one Christmas morning and seeing the glowing outline of a human form in a neighbour's garden. We've never worked out what we saw and it's about as close as I get to thinking I've had a genuine supernatural experience.
