Putting out a call: if you were part of WOTC’s late-2010s live events (Stream of Many Eyes, D&D Live, The Descent), I would love to talk to you as part of the Actual Play book.

[email protected] will reach me, either to schedule a chat or to share your memories.

Please feel free to share.

SO! I booked a 3 day pass to PAXU but because the payment processing borked up I've been charged for two separate tickets. and @officialpax.bsky.social says that because it's two separate tickets I don't get a refund so if someone's looking for a ticket I've got an extra!

What's wrong with all of these anti-AI streamers gleefully playing water park simulator? The guy on the literal cover image is generated. At this point it's just to block and move on

We are talking about economics and how to make it fun in D&D campaigns! For a gay that hates math I sure do like to mess around with it!

So long as we're going to (kind of) address uninsurance by subsidizing private insurers in order to accommodate both admin costs, profit, and the uncontrolled healthcare costs they pay out, stopping those subsidies will lead to really, really severe consequences.

A reminder that literal Holocaust and genocide scholars are trying to figure out what to call Israel's genocide because Israel's concentration camps and massacring are distinctly too evil to be categorized a "normal" genocide.

Since the Ezra & Ta-Nehisi discussion is still happening: the main point I think most are missing is that Klein is saying the role of the journalist-intellectual is to do strategic politics, whereas Coates says the role of the journalist-intellectual is to tell the truth
