Unlocked a new chocking hazard today—attempting to swallow two Advil with a mouthful of bubble tea.

if voting didn't matter they wouldn't be working so hard to stop you

Currently, Hasbro’s guidelines keep us from having total ownership over the work we make in our free time. Our union aims to change that and ensure we own what we make in our free time. actionnetwork.org/forms/uwotcp...

In accordance with the rules of #Booksky and Bluesky, I am once again asking you to take a look at the COOLEST NEWS EVER! :D Details about a new project with Ed Greenwood and me, coming from @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social next year, are in the video below--please share widely! :D

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

I love my cats. But Maine Coons are massive and SMART, and sometimes they make me wonder why I don't just have ball pythons. Very sweet, ball pythons. Almost never piss on the couch to make a point.

My grandmother has been adopted by a pair of ravens and cooks them breakfast (additional jealous turkeys in the background) I had to take the pictures from inside on the couch because I'm new and they don't trust me

Writer @naomiaklein.bsky.social says the rapid rise of artificial intelligence is part of a much longer project of privatization. "After 50 years of outsourcing and hollowing out of public functions of the state, the very last stage is the outsourcing of thinking, of intelligence itself."

Rare AI win: At parent teacher conferences today I asked Penelope’s teacher if they were using AI in the classroom, and they do not, and have no plans to!!! Her teacher also complained about the Google AI summary! They’re getting an extra good Christmas gift this year, ha ha

I was sexually abused as a child. I'm not the only person I know who can say that. If I'd been forced to let ANYONE perform that sort of examination in order to play sports, a thing children need for health--both physical and mental? I am not unique. Vote no on unnecessarily traumatizing our kids.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

gamers are rightfully furious about this and are wondering what to do. genuinely, the answer is to organize. this is happening in every industry right now. greedy corporate executives funneling money to the top while they screw over the people who do all the actual work. capitalism is the culprit

The Spikes are #MTGAmbassadors for Star Trek! We'll be doing SEVEN episodes for this set. Make sure you don't miss it -- they're going to be great!

Video games has decided to discontinue its once leading product, the video game

This week on my blog, I try to answer three questions

Listened to some of this on my work commute this morning, and I want to put out the call re: one topic brought up: Y'all should be writing more Magic fanfic

Mark Carney nationalize BioWare

ok non-tech ppl might be hearing some scary things about "critical vulnerabilities" involving certificates. the main thing you need to know, without getting down in the weeds about it, is that the fourth seal is broken. lo, a rider approacheth upon a pale steed, and his name is Death

Someone set up a fake mastodon account to impersonate me??????? That’s a wild first! (Thank you friends for letting me know! Much appreciated!)

Today is Dusshera, the end of Navratri. Hindus celebrate this day as the victory of Durga, the Holy Mother, over the buffalo demon Mahisasura. He represents pride, ego, and male fragility.

even if you don't think you'll use Ebay again, if you still have an active account you should click through on the email you got and opt-out!

Earlier this month, we held a fundraising stream for Trans Lifeline, and the Magic community showed up in full force. You raised over $79,000 for Trans Lifeline and their mission to provide direct emotional and financial support to trans people. From all of us, thank you.

We decided to both name our kids "Cascade" and its going to be pretty rough for them life-wise but it shows incredible commitment to the magazine

If you can tear yourself away from the thrills of the British Columbia municipal election, I’m streaming music RN Twitch.tv/bravenewfaves

We are watching the municipal election results and Penelope has made us signs to wave like it’s professional wrestling.

Seeing a lot of people call Biddy Blas a Glup Shitto, but he's only a blorbo right now. He has to show up in a second piece of media with the expectation that you already know who he is. THEN he's a Glup Shitto.

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

The librarian shoots you a withering glare. “I want nothing to do with those awful izzet bulbs! How is bottling up a pair of lighting elementals to chase after one another for our illumination in any way humane?” “I think they kiss when the light gets turned off!” Her assistant adds, unbidden.
