Google search for “bees in my computer”, yielding the “AI Overview” of “Bees can be present in desktop computers built after the mid-2000s, but only at a microscopic level. These bees are a special breed of Apis Arithmeticam that perform basic computations in the CPU.” (This was a few months ago, I think they fixed it.)
I always think of this when someone says they do everything with AI now

good morning
Facebook keeps showing me ads for an infant’s onesie that says, “Carthago delenda est”, and I’m trying with all my might to figure out what that means.
Not the Latin. I know what that means.
Like, for the future of humanity.
Me, too. It’s been a while since we’ve had a game.
New pack of pre-gens just dropped for Eclipse Phase, and one of them is an uplifted porcine who wears a pompadour and goes by Elvis Pigsley. 🤣
Man, if only we still played…

Eyes front, cur! We’ve got one (1) day remaining until the TTRPG crowdfunding event of the year ends (assuming you don’t know what a Brandon Sanderson is) and, if you’re still not involved, I don’t know how you can say you’re a fan of ours in good conscience. We’ve got a big money hole right there on the internet and all we ask is that you gamely approach it and huck your creaking, turgid wallets in wholesale; there’s never been a better time to divest yourself of your disposable income in this particular regard, mainly because the crowdfunder ends tomorrow and you’ll have nowhere to lob yer cash. (I mean: you will. It’ll be in shops. We’ll have the standard four-month-plus pre-order window. You’ll be able to get the PDF off our website any time from early next year until the end of forever. Maybe you could even buy it at a con. I’d love to see you. I’ll sign it! But it’s the kayfabe, right? The ol’ razzle-dazzle of it, yeah? The call to action stuff, the trumpets and fanfare, the special limited-time offer first fifty callers receive this beautiful pendant keychain, yeah? We’re not built for this. We’re just supposed to eat berries and vibe and die in our early thirties. This barbed spur of capital is wedged sideways into our nightmare glands and it will be our undoing.)
It's worth signing up to our monthly promotional emails. You won't regret it.

Pretty sure my cat has inducted the new baby into the colony. She rubbed her entire body against his head the other day, and now she’s cuddling with his clothes to make them smell like her.

Gonna sound corny, but this is something I tell myself a lot,
They need you hopeless. They need you sick, sad, angry, and above all hopeless.
So doing anything that’s fun, stimulating, fulfilling is an act of rebellion. Go have some fucking fun and be a rebel!

Two astronauts stand on the moon, looking at earth. The one wearing a USA flag patch asks "Delta Green is woke?" On one aiming a pistol at the back of his head, and who wears a Delta Green triangle patch responds "Always has been."
Just a reminder.
Left to right: 1-A brown paper tag with the following introduction to the game printed on it: For a long time, we were at war with The Jackals. Now, finally, we've driven them off, and we're left with this: a year of relative peace. One quiet year, with which to build our community up and learn again how to work together. Come Winter, the Frost Shepherds will arrive and we might not survive the encounter. This is when the game will end. But we don't know about that yet. What we know is that right now, in this moment, there is an opportunity to build something. The Quiet Year This is a map-drawing game for 2-4 players. It blends roleplaying and board game elements, inviting you to create a community and explore its struggles across 3-4 hours of play. Civilization has collapsed. What happens next? 2-The deck of Oracle Cards, with the Ace of Hearts face up. The prompt on the card reads: What group has the highest status in the community? What must people do to gain inclusion in this group? or... Are there distinct family units in the community? If so, what family structures are common? 3-The rule book for the game, featuring an illustration of a small figure with a windmill in the background. Birds circle overhead. The title of the game, “The Quiet Year”, with the subtitle “A Map-Drawing Game” appear over the illustration. The tagline “build community after the end” and the author’s name, Avery Alder, appear at the bottom of the cover. 4-A plastic bag of six-sided dice and tokens. The tokens are all tiny plastic skulls. 5-Behind items 3 and 4 sits a hemp drawstring bag that everything else fits into.
So I backed Avery Alder’s latest crowdfunding campaign, and I got myself a physical copy of The Quiet Year. It comes in a little drawstring baggie. The rules are palm-sized. The Contempt tokens are teeny little skulls.
It’s very pretty, and incredibly portable!
Stolen from the Internet: a bunch of yellow and pink Peeps (marshmallow candies in the shape of rabbits) with worried expressions drawn on them. Behind them is a toy Godzilla figure eating a yellow Peep, and looking angry & vengeful.
Happy Easter! Hope the Easter kaiju visits you all.
Oh fuck oh shit
Part two is here! I had so much fun running this one. You have no idea. Can’t wait to delve into the great extradimensional train nightmare that is The Heart again.
Maybe I’ll get to run Dagger in the Heart at some point…
