Look at this gorgeous artwork. Let’s get Ellie to 1k by Christmas!
Right. I hardly ever ask for anything, but this is the year I say 'what the hell' and go for it. On all the social platforms I have ever been on, I've never broken a few hundred followers and you know what? I think my artwork is as good as accounts with thousands. I'm wishing for 1k by xmas 😂

It was brilliant to finally get to work with Penny, who sensitivity read our Nomas previews. It’s something we wanted to take really seriously on this project and I’ve learned a lot! It’s also informing some of the choices we are making going forward and I look forward to working together again!
Absolute delight to get to work with @sammcgurran.bsky.social on our first project together at last! Nomas is a rich, inspiring, diverse setting perfect for telling authentic, impactful stories around the theme of refugees carving a new home and community for themselves together. Link below!💖

Sure, they've made an environmentally catastrophic mass hallucination disinformation plagiarism Clippy that will destabilize the world, but also their other goal is to replace human workers entirely and let us humans starve. A boycott of AI is the most important boycott of your entire life.
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

I could post novels of praise for #CryptidCreeks. It’s a truly top-notch blending of whimsy and just enough horror, allowing tables to tweak it to meet their needs. This Carved from Brindlewood game is sure to be a source of great times for any table.
Favorite game I’ve run in a long while.
