Refurbished Doombot

The New York Times won't call this man a racist.

''I'd like to go ahead and solve it. The Atlanta Hawks.''

Wage theft is theft. Tenant harassment is illegal. Those who defraud vulnerable New Yorkers will be held accountable. We are working with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg to share real-time information and crack down on crimes that target workers and consumers.

I feel like there's a missed opportunity to rebrand the current cyclospora outbreak in the USA as DOGE-rrhea.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

People complain about video games taking too long to come out, but if I worked in the industry and knew I'd likely be fired after release, I wouldn't be in any hurry to hit deadlines either.

Canada province preparing lawsuit against OpenAI over school shooting

I spoke with my dear friend Mitch McConnell this morning as he continues his recovery. We talked for nearly 20 minutes about beep. Beep. Beep. Beep. Beep.

If only these guys came with some kind of warning stamped on their chest so we could know right away.

I ran my Session Zero of my Curse of Strahd game tonight. The players chose to go with cleric, wizard, warlock, bard. I've already named the group The Glass Cannons in my head.

Loving books means knowing the pain of finishing the third book in a four-book series and then seeing that you're still at ~4 weeks hold in Libby for the fourth and final book.

The library gods are tempting me tonight. I have a lot of work to do, but I just got a notification that the next book in the series I've been devouring is available to borrow.

As a GM, I'm not saying that certain character classes attract certain types of people and behaviour. But I'm smart enough to know the differences between the group that rolls a cleric, paladin, wizard, and ranger compared to the one that rolls the bard, rogue, barbarian, and sorcerer. #d&d

I'm rewatching the Hobbit/LOTR movies, and it's amazing how many things are bred for a single purpose, and it's always war. Just once, it'd be fun for a wizard or orc lord to speak in foreboding terms about a race of red pandas, bred for a single purpose. To be adorable.

why does the “you can’t fight it” rhetoric around AI feel so familiar?? 🤔

"How bad can kobolds be?" #thingsthatmakeGMsgrin

"I'm going to scout ahead of the rest of the party" #thingsthatmakeGMsgrin

One thing about the LOTR is that it seems generally known among hobbits that the Tooks are all dangerous idiots, and everyone seems very open about discussing this.

One more night of fireworks to get an anxious Boston Terrier through.

I'm hoping some other TTRPG gamers who've played old D&D editions can confirm or deny what may be a mistake on my part, but didn't thri-kreen have three legs at one point?

Tonight's movie watch: In The Lost Lands (2025) with Milla Jovovich and Dave Bautista. I enjoyed it a lot more than I thought I would. It's very much a Mork Borg style movie.

As someone who in their younger years, worked for some very bad people, with the best of intentions.

When I get home after a long day at work: "I should watch one of my movies on my watchlist, or maybe get caught up on a tv show." Ten minutes later: "The world has changed. I feel it in the water ..."

I'm working on converting my homebrew to 5E in preparation for running a game, and this means going through a bunch of old notes to get organized (it's been a while). I just found my notes on the minotaur pirate island, and I am still amused by the idea of vikings that come with their own horns.

The vast majority of people are very bad liars. A very few people are naturally good liars, and many people are very practised liars, but most people are unable to mask deception, keep their stories consistent, and avoid tripping red flags while being questioned.

In all seriousness though, elder millennial jokes aside, I think it’s important to resist the media framing of any mainstream resistance to the status quo as just the shrill nonsense of middle-aged women with nothing better to do. This isn’t the first time they’ve run out this playbook.

Watching the Matrix as I work on converting my homebrew world to 5E. It's a very geeky Friday night (Saturday morning).

Posting a comic cover I love (and keeping the theme)!

Reading anything by Steve Gerber is always a trip. His stuff is always weird, never boring. #comicsky

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula.

Question for #comicsky. I'm a big fan of the way Wasp is written in Avengers EMH. Can anyone recommend a Wasp run that I might also enjoy? I've generally been reading older comics and the writing for Wasp is as bad, if not worse than other female superheroes.

Yes I'm religious, I believe in the holy trinity.

I think one of my favourite things about Avengers EMH is how new characters constantly appear without the writers feeling obligated to drag the story to a halt while they introduce them by name, describe their powers, and explain their origins.

Strong women are awesome!

Tonight seems like a good night to re-watch Hackers (1995) and ignore current events. #hacktheplanet #villainsonskateboards

The S.H.I.E.L.D Heli-Carrier has come a long way. #comicsky #fridgesinflight

It's possible that I might be a giant nerd. There are signs.

If I was going to hire a mercenary to go after the Hulk for me, I'd probably look for a psychic or maybe someone who can turn themselves into gas or electricity. I wouldn't choose someone whose whole deal is grappling people. It goes as well as you'd expect for Temu Dr. Octopus (Constrictor).
