If you understand nothing else about how horrible these tariffs are for small business, understand this: China is one of the few places we can go where they 1) have the manufacturing equipment needed to make our goods and 2) will produce small quantities of those goods at a reasonable price. (1/)

Personally, I hope Biden sees their faces in his sleep and suffers the weight of a tortured conscience for the rest of his life.

I just read the trpg Traveller adventure "Annic Nova". I have thoughts. And, yeah, this is a patreon link, but it's all public. I would have used Substack, but... 😬So this was my next-best platform choice. Anyway, totally free, read it. Or don't, I'm not your boss. www.patreon.com/posts/travel...

The "Designers & Dragons" series was my first Bundle of Holding bundle purchase, and I greatly enjoyed the dive into the real-world history of rpgs. You bet I'm grabbing Shannon Appelcline's history of Traveller as my most recent Bundle of Holding grab bundleofholding.com/presents/Fre...

I saw on YoutTube someone was interviewing Mike Mearls. I would have thought by now that a content creator would have known why "#FireMikeMearls" was a thing and, you know, not platformed him. But, hey, he's white guy, so this no-consequences-world applies to him, I guess.

“It’s a chance for a moderate, enterprising, business-friendly Democrat to win [“business-focused non-maga republicans”] over.” When was the last time we had a liberal anti-business democrat? Fucking never, that’s when.

If we can make more regular people aware that "the machine that can't stop getting things wrong is going to raise your power bill whether you use it or not", I think we can get more people to reject generative AI. People in Baltimore are already sick of BGE rate hikes as it is.

Apocalypse Keys: Bonds of Power, Episode 11 "A Hollowing Through” Zero tries to relay Commander Payne's acts...with devastating results. Wisp meets a pilot bearing a resemblance to Fae. Petri runs to Lydia and Vivi meets clones. The Omens attempt to unlock Doom's Door. youtu.be/OQoAL-knx5g

The last two months are making it pretty clear I should just stop with ttrpg writing. I’ve got, like, 5 modules 40-80% done and monetarily i cannot justify the time required to finish them. 😞 i’m not really sure what to do about that… 🤷‍♀️

I've done the math- if we get 3,650 ppl to buy the bundle at the $5 minimum we'll break $100k! Share, promote, and if you have the means maybe put down more than $5 for over 450 games and supplements! bit.ly/transrightsbundle25 #transrightsbundle25 #transrightsbundle2025

Having just finished a few-weeks-long binge of "The Gamblers"and caught up, @ariventures.bsky.social , I may not have always liked Terrica, but I have always found your performance exemplary. Thank you for the hours, the craft, and the heart.

1. Totally agree. 2. Game designers can help alleviate the problem by starting with the "crew sheet" first. Like, for a Blades in the Dark example, if you're going to play the assassins crew, the players need to make characters to fit the crew they've agreed upon.

It seems like the best-selling/most-popular magic releases are the ones that are not Magic: The Gathering IP. 40K, Lord of the Rings, Final Fantasy... I wonder, for Hasbro, if there's a lesson to be learned in that. And is it an opportunity for non-MtG card games to take bigger chunks of the pie?

Young people, per usual, are being left out of the data. Due to an unprecedented amount of boomers becoming activated since Trump ‘47, youth liberation activities have become swept under the rug. The youth are fighting for a better world. It’s us who owe them better. @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social

The Nintendo GameCube is older than ICE. Toby Maguire's Spider-Man is older than ICE. ICE isn't old enough to rent a car without an adult to sign for it in some states We don't want it, we don't need it.

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

What people really don’t want to hear is that shaming people who brag about writing emails with AI would be just fine. Admirable in fact. Norms can sometimes do what law won’t.
