Belated #cdfriday: Artificial Intelligence II compilation on Warp Records, the two disc edition. If IDM is “intelligent dance music,” then there must also be “ass-dumb dance music”?

"Banana Sandwich" from one of their earlier albums is a personal fave, along with "Even on a Sunday Afternoon." "You can't pretend you don't love Mary Poppins, too." <3

A TTRPG where you play uplifted soldiers—intelligent animals engineered for military service—navigating what comes after. Your creators' civilization has fallen. You inherit functional infrastructure and complex conditioning, but no orders. No oversight. No purpose except what you choose.

We interrupt our irregularly scheduled programming for this completely unasked-for TTRPG about The Blues Brothers (and any other holy fools on a mission from God). www.greyledger.org/rhythm-blues...

A revelatory performance of solo improvised snare drum (and table) by Ryosuke Kiyasu of Fushitsusha. Made for a delightful evening out in Helsinki before we headed back. Kiitos @renekita.bsky.social and @phinnweb.bsky.social for the heads-up!

Cecil Sharp House as a living dungeon, an institutional labyrinth, its halls lined with display cases, curated exhibits, and polished versions of unruly traditions. Within each wing, an overlooked collector is imprisoned, their voice suppressed, their work twisted into Sharp's control.

Once upon a time we took an Ultra Vivid Scene song out for a ride. The original is a dazzling pop gem; we fed it dirty motor oil and leaded gasoline.

A TTRPG where you play faculty, students, and staff at a mystical university that studies dreams across the multiverse. Navigate academic politics, conduct impossible research, and grapple with the ethics of consciousness exploration in a world where poorly cited dreams can ooze into reality.

The Portal Commons is a storytelling RPG inspired by Ruth Asawa's community fountains, North Beach print shops, and the gloriously irreconcilable contradictions of the Bay Area—where venture capital billions coexist with mutual aid networks, where tech surveillance meets neighborhood care.

Authenticity is not a show for others’ applause; it’s the courage to let your words waver, to let them carry the weight of your unfolding. What passes for "authenticity" is a pantomime performance for praise and clicks; ironically inauthentic. 😉 www.greyledger.org/four-alloyed...

Four Alloyed Aspirations

In the crucible of self, where the world’s clamor meets the quiet pulse of becoming, authenticity is not a polished gem to clutch but a molten striving, ever-shifting, ever-forged. It is not a mask we...

Sophie Poulin @sophie-poulin.bsky.social · 27d

The orc’s heartbeat slowed as the cat nestled against his chest. No warcry stirred within him—only calm. In that gentle purr, he discovered a strength deeper than battle, a reason to guard peace as fiercely as war.

Players take the role of middle management in a failing dungeon. The structure is crumbling, underlings are unreliable, and executives issue contradictory policies from far above. Each day, something fails. Each day, someone pays. There are no winners. There are survivors and there are case studies.
