Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

My second ever @c4wrestling.bsky.social show tonight. Not only did I get to see bald YouTube guy @simonmiller316.bsky.social wrestle, but I took my first chair shot when a dive spot sent the three rows of chairs in front of my friend and I into our knees.

Hi @mikemcmahan.bsky.social -maybe this has already been mentioned elsewhere, but I was flipping through an old Art of Star Trek book and I'm wondering if this early Matt Jeffries sketch for the Enterprise was a factor/inspiration in the design of the USS Cerritos?

The right-wing backlash against #Superman this week got me thinking: Has this happened before?
That led to the discovery of these headline — from April 1940, when the official newspaper of the SS took umbrage at the comic book hero and ridiculed its creators.

Amazing: MIT researchers revealed how ChatGPT etc are destroying our brains and booby-trapped the report to expose those who want to use AI to ostensibly summarize the results.

The Rebirth of my old DC Heroes TTRPG campaign has kicked off in earnest. First up, an adventure to bring the characters of the Guardians team up to the present continuity of the campaign world - starting with the first major comics crossover that happened after the original campaign had wrapped.

It is always fun when the dice decide to play along during a game. For flavor I had a player character in my super-hero game suffering from a bad cold. The player's dice contributed by rolling critical fails every time they tried to use their powers during the session.

Went into the book store today for the traditional "oh crap it's December 31 and I haven't bought a calendar for the new year yet"; came out with the calendar and this. Now I just need to figure out when the next opportunity will arise for me to corner @kateheartfield.com so they can sign it for me.

Wrapped the first mission of a new Star Trek Adventures campaign tonight. The player running the Captain ended the final session of the adventure with an inspirational speech that referenced the motto on the ship's dedication plaque, explained his catch phrase, and name checked the campaign title.
