It’s hard going from “ah, that was a difficult work day, let me come home and try to wind down” and then enter directly into “ah, I had momentarily forgotten about the ever-increasing amount of profound damage being done to every department of government.” I am this cabbage behind this barrel.

democracy in michigan and wisconsin was crushed to the point of near-irreversibility until 2020 -- vastly worse than what trump seems likely to be able to do before 2028 -- and we fought back, inch by inch, until we took it back, despite Republicans having both structural advantages and real support

“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

My @rascalnews.bsky.social sub renews next week and I just want to take a moment to say how cool I think that site is. I'm VERY bullish on indie sites who have a clear mission and deliver on it every single day. Clearly their growing audience appreciates it, too.

Big thanks to @patrickklepek.bsky.social and @cado.bsky.social for inviting me onto a special episode of Remap Radio to discuss the particular nature of tabletop journalism and how an absolutely novice might penetrate the hobby.

can't wait to play civ 7 like i play all the other civ games: exclusively play vanilla because expansion packs seem weird, play exactly the same style with the same civ for 1000 hours over the next decade, mostly ignore entire key game mechanics, and consequently never actually get very good at it

Some of the perks of working in cider include that sometimes you get cute, special gifts with hand drawn labels.

My New Year’s reso (short for New Year’s resolution) is to anticipate my needs and then aim myself at meeting them. Which means last night I played a board game and got some teriyaki with a friend! It doesn’t have to be hard. It probably just feels like it’s difficult. But thats okay!

When @austinwalker.bsky.social reached out to talk about his upcoming tabletop RPG I jumped at the opportunity. Realis is something special, a deeply personal exploration of authorial agency and the magic of language. There was so much to our conversation that we spread it across two pieces!

Today I saw this troll playing a shofar. And yes, the troll had a tremendous butt. I gave it a nice pat. Additionally, I saw this dog with a very large head. My head would have easily fit inside of this dog’s head. It wouldn’t have been any kind of feat.
