The art on this rips and it’s a placeholder. WTF?

In these crazy, fucked up times, I’m reminded that living with Louie Dog is the only way to stay sane.

Scams could now cost Americans $119 billion a year, study finds The estimate builds on numbers from the FBI, which are widely believed to capture only a small fraction of the money lost to scams.

Gonna echo @notalawyer.bsky.social and say: Give me a candidate who even acts like they’re aware of this, and you’re halfway to my vote.

I deeply agree that I want more people from the RPG world working with mainstream publishers.

I don't want to frame it as something people can just decide to to.

Working with a large corporation is always a situation where the artist has very little control over what happens.

A map of the United States with the frost line marked.

We can narrow the possible locations of the house by comparing that ceiling height to the frost line, bringing us that much closer to finding the crime scene and bringing the killers to justice.

You also saw the β€œGen Z has killed adorkability” headlines this morning then?

β€œEveryone is just trying to figure their shit out.”

The thing to always keep in mind online.

A fair amount of ttrpg commentary and design involves folks grappling with their expectations of the medium, based on their route into it.

Hot takes and even thoughtful critiques tend to tell you more about the author than provide concrete guidance.

Still useful! But differently.

What if there’s no election though..?

A bunch of random people giving β€œhard times” music suggestions feels pretty nice actually.

This heist asks, β€œWhat kind of vampire is a space vampire?”

And then answers, β€œAll of them.”

If we're friends and you have any reason to suspect that you may like some of the same music I do, these super secret mixes can become slightly less secret for you.

My go-tos have been @aquariumdrunkard.com broadcasts and @signalstation.bsky.social’s super secret mixes.

It’s been a rough week.

What are your music recos for being in a slump but building hope (even if you’re in no mood to celebrate)?

This is more than you necessarily need to do … but it’s a wonderful way of thinking about what to write in your alt text.

If you don't pick 4, you either haven't used it or need to get checked for that rfk brain worm.
