There is no #TTRPG design anxiety like building a character sheet. Like, sure, the layout makes sense to MY game-addled, former-technical-writer brain, but will a normal person find it helpful? Will it make things easier? Or have I built a new hell for my playtesters to escape like baffled mice?

If you are a cis person please take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

The top two stories on Axios right now make kind of a funny juxtaposition. One is about how Johnson can’t avoid a shutdown without Democratic votes. Two is about how mad Dem reps are at their constituents for telling them to do something, when they’re in the minority and obviously can’t do anything.

Just finished Indiana Jones and the Golden Circle and wow, what a fantastic game! I really appreciate how the various mechanics all come together to create the feel of an Indy movie, and while biggest problem is the long cut scenes, they're all so delightful I can't really complain.

Maybe I'm aging, maybe it's the extra design work I've been doing, or maybe it's Maybelline, but lately I'm acutely aware of how many TTRPG and card games have tiny font sizes. 😮‍💨

This by Dan Savage is I think important to keep top of mind. It speaks to the point I made earlier that bad news is never the only news.

A very important reminder. ICE can't go inside a house without the permission of someone there. Administrative warrants are not judicial warrants.

want to be excruciatingly clear about this: TikTok didn't have to go dark last night and it didn't have to turn back on this morning. both of those were voluntary moves that the law does not directly touch.

Incredible how thoroughly Democrats got played here. Spent four years following through on a Trump executive order, pissed away any shot at building a real youth coalition for 2024 by alienating literally every teenager in America, lost the election, and now Trump gets to "save" TikTok. Clown shit.

You're telling me that Margo Martindale and Wayne Knight were once partners on a team of character actors who moonlit as private investigators to supplement film/tv income by busting bad guys with their acting skills and this has never been adapted into the longest-running show on NBC?

@johnrogers.bsky.social The Sticky feels so squarely in your wheelhouse if you haven't seen it. Dark comedy inspired by the great maple syrup heist, with a side of regional corporate gangsters, and a fantastic cast like a Canadian Fargo.

researchers studying non human animal cognition get laughed out of science if they use a word like “knows” or “understands” about an animal (a being with a brain) but every AI paper is all “the model appears to be aware it is being intentionally deceptive and in fact is afraid of being caught”

Quite the opposite, actually! But does it save money? In the long run, almost certainly not. But is it more e

everybody who writes about living in authoritarian societies is very clear that this is one of the biggest things: self-appointed pro-regime vigilantes snooping on their neighbors, legal requirements to inform on people, self-censorship and pre-emptive compliance to avoid getting caught up
