🚀 NEW GAME ANNOUNCEMENT!🚀

We're absolutely over the bloody moon to be making the Children of Time RPG!

Mina, Grant and Elaine have been sequestered away with author Adrian Tchaikovsky, building a new Ark to take you to the far reaches of space.

But what (or who) is waiting for you out there?

It's a legit red flag for me if a political aspirant does *not* have pets (see, e.g., the president). If you don't like animals or they don't like you, there's a good chance you're a sociopath or maybe some kind of vampire.

This shows Chris is good people and has the support of a very handsome dog.

A donation to Chris Kluwe's campaign for CA Assembly District 72. He's a swell guy and he is endorsed by a very handsome dog.

I'm sold! Never let it be said that I am not a man of my (implied) word.

Chris, while your football kicking and nerd credentials are unimpeachable, the thing I really need to see to open the purse strings is an endorsement from a cat or dog, or any family pet, really. Even a nod from a feral parrot would do.

Where did magic mushrooms come from? Scientists just got closer to an answer Scientists just discovered a new species of magic mushroom, Psilocybe ochraceocentrata, that appears to have shared a common ancestor with the popular Psilocybe cubensis some 1.5 million years ago.

This flood of scam spam bums me out since it seems to me a lot of authors, as it becomes too much work to distinguish real engagement, will reasonably check out of engaging entirely.

OK, fine, since I can't say no to Heater.

‘Project Hail Mary’ Review The most perfectly crowd-pleasing movie I’ve ever seen.

"Project Hail Mary is a feel-good, emotionally resonant, ultimately triumphant paean to the human spirit. This is why we go to the movies."

"Sloppelganger" is one for the ages

Literally, why even go to Elysium then 🙄

Live updates: Iran’s Assembly of Experts names Mojtaba Khamenei as new supreme leader, state media report Follow live updates and the latest news coverage as the U.S. and Israel continues to strike Iran and Tehran hits back across the Gulf.

Turns out it *is* a name we'd recognize. Having murdered his father probably won't complicate relations with us, right? /s

The constituency of Americans who see DEI as detrimental to the country is vanishingly small, the sort of constituency that can easily be ignored if politicians want to ignore it.

Happy #InternationalWomensDay from Critical Role! ✨

Team "fall back" forever. If we spring forward and stick with it, we lose an hour and never get it back. Don't let the Springinistas steal an hour from our lives!

this made me cackle all the way through

It is a bummer. I was concerned this would tend to be the (reasonable) reaction when every author I follow suddenly started talking about AI book club scams.
It's seems a weird target population for scams, though. I don't reckon most authors are rolling in piles of cash.

Pleased to see Diana feeling well enough to make videos again. I hope her health situation continues its upward trend.

Kafka understood that an even greater indignity than being turned into a giant insect was still being required to go to work afterward.

This this this! Though I'd argue the Maduro regime is still the Maduro regime, too.

No. The internal watchdog is wrong. Kristi Noem's flaws are many and obvious, but most shoe removal at TSA checkpoints has always been security theater.
