My old man's a hat thief He wears a dustman's hat

At 8pm GMT it’ll be my first time as storyteller for a game of Vampire the Masquerade, and it’ll be on a stream. And on Monday I’ll be running a Hunter the Reckoning chronicle which takes place at the same time. Come watch if you are into that sort of thing. www.twitch.tv/talesofmythandmayhem

This is true. A pal of mine who is a policeman went to a Scottish island recently to investigate a missing person and when the locals found out he was a Christian they stuck him in a giant human-shaped willow branch construction and burned him alive.

It's nice for the completist, but if you are actually listening to an album all the way through and the second-last track is 20 minutes long, and the record label has added a similarly lengthy live recording of the same track to the end, it does feel a bit "I've literally just listened to this."

Happy tenth birthday to a real one

This is a bit fucking rich coming from The Guardian. The very paper that shoved transphobia down our throats for years in the interests of "balance" and "hearing from all sides" is now pretending that they were never part of that moral panic and they saw through it immediately. Yeah...right.

I've put together a fledgling Starter Pack of LGBTQIA+ #horror #TTRPG creatives to help folks connect and follow talented writers, designers, illustrators, podcasters, and other creatives in this area. Please reply/drop me a message if you'd like to be added. go.bsky.app/JPV9Mxs

Having Reason just be able to open any version of a file since Reason version 1.0 means that I just rediscovered a half-finished cover of Popcorn I saved at 3am in March 2005. (My final uni dissertation was due in early April 2005. I was clearly having a Time) @reasonstudios.bsky.social

@sil.kryogenix.org I have to ask out of sheer intrigue: how are you generating the transcripts for the Critical Roll archive? I try to correct subtitles on YouTube actual plays I’m Involved with (some of us have accents), and it takes far too long to be generally workable for everything.

Psssst! #DoctorWho fans - I've got a blog post about *loads* of props going up for auction. shkspr.mobi/blog/2023/02... (Older post, but many bits still available.)

Found on Mastodon. No idea who made it.

This is from 2016, a study that rigorously proved that the trans bathroom bans are bunk. Additionally, anti-trans groups have recently admitted it was a panic propaganda campaign (duh). www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-...

Can we all agree that before we colonise Mars/get AI to write novels we should first be focussing on creating a printer that actually, consistently works?

This was recorded at the end of December and if you listen to it that will help justify what I did to those leftover vegetables in the pursuit of sound effects. youtube.com/playlist?lis... (Also available from podcast places)

For so many reasons. (Reposting with alt text.)

Guys, I’ve just seen the worst job advert in the world. Absolute state of this.

The first episode, of 4, of our Desert Whispers Kult #ActualPlay podcast is now live! Thank you so much @thelollygaggers.com @melazera.bsky.social @lavaita.bsky.social & Maitreyi for being so much fun! pod.link/1772525120/e...

Check archive recordings of radio phone-in shows about the AIDS crisis and tell me “no one had a problem with gays in the 90s” I can probably give you the British Library sound archive catalogue numbers if you need them.

See now I’m starting to think that these people want a machine to summarize things for them because when a human does it, the human uses words like “no” and “that would hurt people” and “that’s illegal.”

Normal people: You should ban child torture Labour Party: Well, we met some people from the How to Torture Your Child Discord and they said a ban would actually be *more* harmful Centrists: Truly this is a complex issue 🤔 There are no easy answers 😞

Need to stop logging on after 9pm every evening, the posts are just various Americans saying "WELL, NOW WE'RE FUCKED" and subsequently having to spend the next 10-15 minutes scrambling to find out what he's done this time

Shoutout to whoever found and watched one of our Vampire the Masquerade actual play videos after searching YouTube for "Are vampires real?" - I hope you got the information that you wanted.
