Let's be honest, you're going to see a lot of Wordle scores here. But other than that, this guy loves games of the tabletop, roleplaying and virtual varieties, but his true loves are reading, writing, watching, and wrangling words. (he/him)

Ukraine blows up Russian data centres and immediately and mysteriously online talk about Germany’s Far Right AfD virtually disappears. Stop Putin you stop the Far Right.

Late daily sketch 💀🗻🥷🐈‍⬛️ Can you spot the Cat ? I'm dead tired today, so this one is fitting 😹 #artsky #ink #sketch

Here by the grace of god do I stand upon the precipice of the Abyss, and leaning out over its endless depths I whisper, "Not today."

I feel like some form of publicly funded, freely available communication platform free of advertisement and with a few measured guidelines in place to identify qualified and experienced voices could really help this world.

Would it be so wrong, or so impossible, for the United Nations to establish a twitter-like communication system with the stated aim of promoting democratic, anti-authoritarian and anti-monopolist voices?

We need a way to communicate without devolving into a screaming match.

How can we create a system that is held at arms-length from power? It is clear that the judiciary is hardly incorruptible. Bureaucracy and regulation can be challenged, infiltrated, and subjugated. Reporters can be bought or threatened. Media can be made superficial and addictive.

The enshittification of twitter and other forms of free public discourse is a clear effort by the monopolists of this world to silence the voices that would tell them "no".

When Musk came to corrupt and pollute it with his own personal rhetoric, it was clear that it was precisely this that was his aim to end. I still remember Jeph Jacques making a simple joke about him and getting banned. He could not take a jab at his ego, and neither can any monopolist.

The Wandering Mage @thewanderingmage.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
A remarkable thing happened when twitter connected the world. People who were otherwise voiceless, who would never have been heard at any other point in history, could make themselves heard even by the highest people in the land.

The Wandering Mage @thewanderingmage.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
For a system to work for the betterment of the people, there needs to be a mechanism that can hold any monopolist to account for their actions. The only way to keep the powerful from treading on those below is to force them to listen to their voices.

It is clear that Capitalism, left to its own devices, will by its nature form monopolies of power among the most wealthy. It is clear that Socialism, by design, will form monopolies of power among the highest level of bureaucracy.

Is it possible to balance the states of Freedom, Stability and Chaos? Even in a single life, how many people achieve this state of being? This question is essential to the generation of not only a satisfactory plan of life, but also the creation of a satisfactory plan of government.

The Wandering Mage @thewanderingmage.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Choice: The greatest gift of God, the greatest burden of men. Choose well, and you might live a life of peace and stability. Choose poorly, and chaos will surely follow. But. The staid life of peace and stability is anathema to the spirit of freedom. Allowing some chaos into life adds meaning.

A little (a6) gouache painting 🌿💞
Sketchbook open on a wooden desk surrounded by paint supplies. The book is open to a page that shows a landscape painting of trees and surrounding foliage on a summer day with lots of green. The painting was made from opaque watercolors (gouache.)
