Rubbed my eye after eating a crunchy wasabi pea and got a chunk of the wasabi crust embedded into my cornea.
Later the assistant at the eye doctor yelled “omg, everyone come in here and look at this!” after they had gotten the magnifying equipment setup.

like Tokley Manor and Moonlight Radio (both are in volumes of Mythic Magazine) would work really well in a duet situation!
Any of the four of you would do some amazing world building — even a one shot scenario.

and when I write that I feel bad not also suggesting @tanapigeonwmg.bsky.social who has been taking apart and rebuilding her entire modular roleplaying system (mythic emulator, the crafter series, etc) while also putting out some mind bending adventures.

I called out the three of you because I think you are doing some of the most interesting mechanics and procedures in the solo and GM-less space. those concepts tend to work well in duet games as well. you are also all genuinely thoughtful and kind people who deserve a spotlight.

It is absurd because at any point in time someone can use Grok to inject CSAM in a threaded reply to a Congress member’s posts. Since no one at X is monitoring for CSAM anymore this makes it incumbent on the Member’s staff to police this nonsense. You know that staffers don’t have that bandwidth.

Given your reporting on online neo-nazi activities I would think you'd want to steer clear of Substack: www.anildash.com/2024/11/19/d...
As for "where else", @molly.wiki did a whole cost breakdown of the alternatives: www.mollywhite.net/micro/entry/...

I appreciate that for remote groups the lack of a shared map space is a non-starter but the "character sheet canavs" is an underserved area worth expirementing with. For example I would imagine most solo RPG players would find this tool a compelling digital companion.

Somehow I hadn’t blocked Will yet but I just took care of that. He’s deeply unserious and never engages in good faith.

Read all the reports of what happened in the Paradise Fire with traffic issues and then imagine a wildfire situation with Waymos clogging up the streets. We need so much more oversight over this system.
