Men 30+ must have:
4 hobbies they've abandoned
1 hobby they're absorbed in but can never find the time for
A box of parts (wood, cables) keept around "just in case"
A trick joint or bad limb they injured years ago and never fully healed
Enough sense to not take "men 30+ must have" lists seriously

Don't mind me. Just showing off the site where I'll be running a Dust Bowl Horror LARP in two weeks.

AI Slop Is Ruining Reddit for Everyone Reddit is considered one of the most human spaces left on the internet, but mods and users are overwhelmed with slop posts in the most popular subreddits.

When I coined the term "Soylent Culture" with respect to AI-generated content over a year ago, this was exactly what we were prediciting: www.wired.com/story/ai-slo...

The irony of the twist in episode 5 of Plur1bus airing on the eve of American Thanksgiving has got me legitimately chuckling #pluribus

I'm short a few hundred dollars to be able to pay for my rent and bills, but I don't have the capacity to take on more commissions right now. If I can't pay the rent I'll lose my room and have to go to the shelter again. Any help is appreciated!

Love Canvas, did you play the physical version?

It's rough, for sure, but I know you got this. If I can finish, anyone can. Took me 6 years while working full time to do it (like you, no funding), but it got across the finish line.

Can't wait to read it and see you with it done. 👍 Good luck.

New Newsletter is posted, the one where I take a 4400 km train ride, and a roll-up some of the summer season of entertainment.

Luchasaurus is the only face in this match. Loving how pumped the crowd at #AEW #Wrestledream is for his return. This one's been a lot of fun.

Played through the Mechanicus II Steam Next Fest Demo the other day on stream and had fun with it! 😄 If anyone wanted to check it out my playthrough's on Youtube

Caught Tron:Ares last night, and found it to be a fun flick with amazing visuals, killer soundtrack, and a hopeful take on crossing the digital-material divide. Less dystopian that the Matrix movies. Overall, I enjoyed the experience, though the IFC disagrees.

Oh? I had it queued up for the drive home. Guess I'll find out soon...

Goddammit. Every major ideological or philosophical concern of our present horrifying age leads back to Karl Popper, doesn't it?

This is my roundabout way of suggesting that you read THE OPEN SOCIETY AND ITS ENEMIES very carefully. It's amazing to watch him hit Plato, Marx, and Hegel so hard.

Woot! Congrats to Kris Statlander, new World Champion! #AEWAllOut

Okada/Takeshita/Dorada has been phenomenal at #AEWAllOut

What? I thought this wasn't out for another week or so. Have it bookmarked for my October bandcamp pickups.
