With the brutal passing away of Rob Reiner, sharing this is both a fitting hommage and a glimpse into his and Goldman’s genius.

As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson.

Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa!

I ordered Doctorow's book on Friday, should be with me before the end of the month, but in the meantime, this is a really good summary of the Enshittification framework, and relevant to us all.

In case anyone is interested, I have created a Dungeon, Inc. instagram account. There's nothing on it yet, but soon, oh yes, soon...

Pretty rad cover of the Eagle's Hotel California by the indefatigable Postmodern Jukebox. There's already a latin tinge in the original, it's on steroids here. #dailycovers #rock #afrocuban

I love this cover. Mind you, I wrote most of the contents so I might not be entirely objective… #rpg #dungeoninc

Ça y est ! Le jeu de Zombie sur lequel travaille @damiencoltice.bsky.social depuis plusieurs mois arrive enfin en financement. Et ça a l'air d'être de la belle ouvrage. Non seulement un beau bouquin, mais des aides de jeu à ne plus savoir qu'en faire !

An honest to good New Orleans brass band in Nantes? You betcha. And NALA7 delivers the same kind of funky punch that the best NOLA brass. Superb gig, go see them live if you can. #brass #funk #music #nantes

This animated biography of Marcel Pagnol is visually gorgeous but a little too scholarly, I felt. It's good viewing, and made me want to see Pagnol's famous movie trilogy, but it lacks a bit of emotional depth. #movie #animation #france

Thanks to @selpoivre.bsky.social for posting the first ever comment on my cultural blog. It feels great when people react to reviews of stuff they have loved, or hated, or never heard about. Feel free to do so on the blog or just here, it's highly motivating !

The sign of a great composition is that not matter how simple it may seem, it inspires others to cover it, exploring the nooks and crannies. Case in point, Hiromi's version of the Beatles' Blackbird. Simply stunning. #dailycovers #music #jazz #rock

Since 2016 I've been tracking all books, records, movies, games, etc. I enjoy, and most of it is now gathered on this blog. Still in the process of migrating some of the history from another platform, but in case you want to browse, it's (nearly) all here. #reviews #music #movies #ttrpg #comics

I have said it before and I will say it again in the coming week: @lostpages.co.uk and I are doing a talk at Dragonmeet about "making magic marvellous," and it's going to be fun. It's at 1430 on Saturday and if you're going to be there we would like it if you came!

In case you didn't know, Gmail and Google Workspace now read all your content by default to feed their AI models. You can deactivate these, which I just did. I need to accelerate my program to migrate my personal email to Proton though (pro email that's done already...) #degooglingyourlife
