Memory hit me from the Ren Faire: Dude in robes walked by saying “alms for the poor…” and I thought ah yes, I should see if I have something to trade him… …and then he put a thing in my hand and said “you are the poor,” and kept walking. That was probably the most perfect moment of that day.

In case any classicists or TTRPG nerds search the word on this app later: A few weeks ago I made my players experience a Buphonia. They drew lots to play the different parts. They didn’t know what was gonna happen. It took the guy 3 swings to finish the ox. It was lovely.

Batgirl was the first superhero I ever fell in love with as a kid, when I saw her on the Batman show at my cousin’s house. Through my whole life, she seemed like a friend and inspiration, and she’s followed me most of my career. First with Birds of Pret, then her solo book.

Watching The Odyssey the same week I finally listened to Epic The Musical has been a one-two super effective punch to the hyperfoci. I’m not even mad.

中秋節快樂! Jung chow jit fai lock! Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!!

The Vancouver croissant crawl is on and one of the participants (Mon Paris Patisserie) has an ai image, which I criticized firmly and politely and offered other options of what they could have done instead and now the owners husband is writing essays attacking me on LinkedIn! It’s super weird!

Happy birthday, @therealmrsweary.bsky.social!!!

Holy shit. All of the submission videos are just being uploaded immediately at the bottom of the webpage without any moderation whatsoever. Somebody is getting fired for this. openforlegends.guitarcenter.com/campaign/ope...

TTRPG PSA: When you tell your friends about what happened in game, it is of great/utmost importance to clarify that what you are describing happened “in the game”. Otherwise you’re just opening a conversation with “Morgan died”, or “Morgan visited a sex worker” and scrambling after that is tiring.

To be completely clear: AI slop is slop. It's landfill-core. It's a reanimated corpse attempting to speak to us with the voices of stolen creativity, personality, and joy. It's a soulless affront to one of the best aspects of humanity, and I do my utmost to avoid participating in its use.

haven't made one of these in a while

Anime Matsuri once again doing shady things with guests. Don't know how many times this sort of thing has to happen before this convention finally ends.

Meta now lets anyone use your Instagram photos in AI images without your consent. SAG-AFTRA recommends that #SagAftraMembers (and all Instagram users) opt-OUT of Meta’s new AI image generation tool, Muse Image. Take action to protect your likeness.

he’s wrong of course www.vikingeskibsmuseet.dk/en/professio...

Citizen Vigilante is conservative slop. And it's a throwback to an era of action cinema that was never exactly what people believed it to be....

Excuse me they announced WHAT?!?!

new metaphor just dropped

Why do people think I used AI narration for my videos? Which AI has the voice of a depressed Chinese dude doing a stand-up bit for the first time setting??

Welp my art/pictures of art has been stolen and being sold on Ali Express.

Respect Your Elders 🇵🇭

My players. Doppelgänger plot is genuinely the most trust-breaking angle you can play in tabletop, turns out. I brought this upon myself. #ttrpg #pathfinder

Azizam by Ed Sheeran reminds me of Chrono Trigger. Just me?

Lego Batman ads are using a trailerfied “Kiss From A Rose” as backing music and it’s sending me. This whole damn game is gonna be deep cuts, isn’t it?

There’s a joke I make in our Saber Guild kids shows when I take a big fall and I hear kids shout “call a medic!” I always go “no, no, don’t call the medic, I’m fine and… that’s a lot of paperwork I don’t want to have to do…” Anyway, someone at work is claiming work injury. That paperwork is awful.

So TIL you never ever refer to someone redundantly in Mandarin as “small little sister” or “small little brother”. Apparently that means genitals.

I had a socks matching party last weekend. I consolidated all the socks that I had from the drawer and from all the laundry, and spent like an hour matching them back up to each other. It was also a good time to assess how many of the broken socks I don’t need. Turns out I have a lot of socks…

“I can gleefully stand on a bridge and blow it up because bitch I know how to swim” is a pretty good line. I need to paraphrase that into a tabletop game…

My work picked a terrible angle to show off the new KDH paper cup we’re getting in. Oh no… (Reposted to crop out some nonsense)

I’ve never written anything using AI, I never will, and I have zero respect for any professional who does.

GODDAMN I love making comics. Okay. So we did a story very dear to my heart in Uncanny X-Men, about mutants during the Jim Crow era, called THE DARK ARTERY. It featured a new character named LADY HENRIETTA, and people just took to her in a beautiful way. They asked for more. 1/

Watched the @agramuglia.bsky.social video about how Zack Snyder’s favourite movie is the 1981 Excalibur and there has never been a more thorough thesis statement to explain why the man does what he does. (I still think Excalibur is fun. Wha a movie to see in your teens!) youtu.be/QOIIKxzrtQ0?...

movie about all the world's nations working together to stave off an environmental apocalypse succeeds by completely avoiding politics

This is how I learned that Ralph Bakshi is alive and on Bluesky. I’m gooped.
