If you need some anti-Nazi action movie fun, The Rocketeer always satisfies.

Every single person with 'rational' and 'critical' and 'logical' in their youtube names have video titles like "woke video game designer's meltdown when game flops, DEI ruins another studio" remixed over and over.

I always make fun of the CBC doing stories about privatization being good but I guess the natural result of their self-destructive journalism is "US annexation: how can we ensure that when they win, we still get to say eh?"

CBC trying to explain how a "conversation" about whether Canada has a right to exist as a nation will be good because they have asked an American DJ to co-host. Like asking Ukraine to join a "conversation" with Russia about their borders. But don't worry it will be done with "care."

Just got an influx of new people following me so hi to those folks. Um, I design games? #ttrpg, #boardgames that can be found on @itch.io, @drivethrurpg.com, @ipr.bsky.social and @smirkanddagger.bsky.social. I've designed and written for some people but have mostly stuck to my own stuff lately.

In this currently climate, something that has been bringing me joy is playing @geoffquest.bsky.social Boldly Go! which I 100% call my favourite "Star Trek" game made. There's a kickstarter for a Season One campaign I wanted to share it with you by telling you about the sessions I've ran.

The notion that Trump's "I'm king" tweet is "just trolling" or "a joke" presents an opportunity to recreate my just-joking thread (porting it over from the Bad Place): 1. I wrote my PhD dissertation on the social function of humor (in literature & film) and here's the thing about "just joking."

This is one of the coolest reads I've done in a while. I love the idea of focusing on the Non-Fiction aspect of AP and will sign up to that newsletter and you should too (and this one as well).

Some Place to Be asks the question, "how does the way a player plays a character change when they're given access to different tools?" which is why we take the same characters into different TTRPGs each season and dedicate time talking about the games themselves

it's pretty cool that even nominally liberal outlets treat our forcible annexation either as a distraction from "real" issues or as an idiotic fantasy in which we make the Democrats electorally impregnable

HELLO! I am THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE that CANON/EYES, my long-in-development game of pop culture archaeologists dismantling the evil corporation that has stolen magic from the world, is being published by @possibleworlds.bsky.social! Seeing my name alongside this list has me extremely emotional, ngl.

I wrote a little funny fantasy thing where the main character sings a bunch of songs. I decided to have a little fun and make one of their songs "Mauve Vambraces" (to the tune of Greensleeves, more or less). Then I got inspired and wrote lyrics for Mauve Vambraces.

OMG I just got the full conservative ad and it's the biggest word salad nonsense I've ever seen. Like ... just a long series of whines.

It's so good to be able to root for McDavid ... and MacKinnon. Both of those shots were ridiculous.

In the Antisemitism files, is so wild to me that Shopify selling a shirt with a swastika (and not pulling it because it was a damn swastika) got way less coverage than a guy who waved a Palestinian flag near a hospital. We are so very unserious about fighting Antisemitism in Canada!

[1] I started watching Beast Games, and I cannot express how much it creeps me out. It represents the opposite of everything I personally want from reality tv. So, here's a thread: Competition reality tv is way better with zero/small prize money. 🧵
