The kids and I did our first game jam. If anyone wants a fast-paced, trick-taking, social deduction game based on gruseome folklore, you may wish to risk a journey down REDCAP ROAD.

I mean, as far as opening lines go, it's very distracting. Of course I am going to go listen to Liquid Swords before continuing.

Pizza Lasagna 2.0 — now with a layer of spaghetti carbonara* as well as the 8-hour ragu.
I hope my kids appreciate me following through with their cockamamie culinary fever dreams.
*Obviously not 100% authentic as I suspect that would turn nasty in the oven, but close enough to stay true.

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Possibly the coolest venue this year in the #Edinburh Fringe is the actually submerged submarine in the port of Leith. A bit far out, but definitely worth the trek.
