Ok here you go. Here's what I wrote to the CBC Ombudsman. - As an award-winning Canadian journalist, I am writing to express my profound disappointment regarding the upcoming radio program hosted by Ian Hanomansing, which aims to discuss the idea of Canada becoming the USA's 51st state. 1/

How do you feel about the possibility of young people going home to their families in flag draped wooden boxes? CBC needs to do better.

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

I'd recommend listening to This Effin GM @thiseffingm.bsky.social 's story about how safety tools have worked for him in the past. TW self harm / suicide #ttrpg www.youtube.com/watch?v=07dL...

I don't repost giveaways (forgive me) but I believe in this product. I've run The Bureau many times with great success, and the new module The Partheogenesis of Hungry Hollow at Pax U. Its REALLY good. If you get the chance to buy/play Liminal Horror, its one of my favorite games. #ttrpg

I just put an application in to run Delta Green and Trailer Park Shark Attack at a small con. The form asked if I could run a game for kids and I said I could if needed. What would you run? I'm thinking Blackapple Brugh using Cairn? Cryptid Creeks also just arrived... #ttrpg

Big shout-out to @planetxgames.bsky.social. I lost the pdfs for a kickstarter of theirs and they quickly got back to me with replacements. If you like beholders as villains in your rpg games, I'd highly recommend Big Eye Chungus. It's funny and has lots of great ideas. #ttrpg

I encourage all the TTRPG content creators to draw a solid line against using AI in running games. There are people out there trying to profit on people's uncertainty about their skills running games by pushing AI. You don't need AI and using it makes you worse at running games not better.

I'm trying to be a positive force in #TTRPGs, so I'm not going to comment on the recent Polygon article but I am going to say that if you care about independent RPGs and you have the money, Rascal News is well worth a subscription.

I talked real big in 2024 about running new games in the new year - the games I'm in talks to run right now: more Delta Green, another Vaesen and another Blades in the Dark game. Thankfully I'm running the Triangle Agency at BSer con. #ttrpg

While the gangster regime from Mar-a-Lago is focused on threatening Canada, our military is on all readiness to help out people in Los Angeles. It's how we roll as a nation. #mapleleafforever #strongasfuck www.ctvnews.ca/world/canadi...

I'm going to try to say this as kindly as possible, but I'm not here to hear about the upcoming President or the owner of twitter. Its impossible to ignore them and I don't live in the US. When you share posts about them, please understand that many of us don't want to hear it. Especially on bsky.

Yochai Gal does more community building and work to make the scene inclusive than just about anybody. We should do better

Just so everyone knows - these are the games I plan on running for the first time this year: Zoetope, Leverage (Cortex), Dogs in the Vineyard, Hunter the Vigil 2e, and I'm going to have my unplayed OSR modules number shrink. I'm writing this publicly to keep me honest. #ttrpg

As mentioned in my previous post, I'm prepping Triangle Agency for mid January, and I've never laughed so much when reading a rulebook #ttrpg
