A picture of Skeletor from the upcoming Masters of the Universe movie is over an AI generated news blurb about Rick Moranis returning with the new Spaceballs movie. A line at the bottom declares that the blurb was written by AI, which "can make mistakes".
Rick Moranis looks /really/ good after coming out of retirement for his new movie.
That setup looks great!
I feel a similar revelatory moment every time I shave down my sides. The reflection looks right again, and some vague dysphoria goes away.

NOW LIVE: Splashdown of Artemis II expected by NASA at 8:07 PM. www.youtube.com/live/nfhDuOH... @universalhub.com
A breathtaking deep-space photograph of a total solar eclipse captured during the Artemis II mission. A massive, pitch-black lunar disk dominates the centre of the frame, completely obscuring the Sun. Surrounding the Moon is a brilliant, glowing white halo composed of the solar corona and zodiacal light, stretching outwards and fading into the black vacuum of space. On the left edge of the lunar disk, a faint sliver of the cratered surface is visible, subtly illuminated by 'Earthshine' (sunlight reflecting off Earth). The background is a vast, dark starfield. In the bottom right quadrant, two distinct bright dots stand out against the distant stars; the one closest to the lunar edge is the planet Saturn, and the point further to the right is Mars.
This has to be one of the most amazing photos ever taken by humanity.. 📸
A total solar eclipse captured from the Moon during Artemis II! Notice the faint 'Earthshine' lighting up the left edge and looking closely at the bottom right...
Those tiny bright dots are Saturn and Mars! 👨🚀
An orange tabby lays on his side on a cream rug. A stuffed catnip mouse on a string is in his open mouth, and his eyes are wide with The Stupid Expression.
Sometimes, #caturday means murderkilling a stuffed catnip mouse.
My daydream production choice: whenever the final staging of #Hadestown is, it ends happily. They did it, they changed fate, and the loop is closed. Until then, we're gonna sing it again.
A seed tray where d&d skeleton minis or gold coins are buried in each slot for players to dig up with tiny shovels.
Finished seed tray "battle map" along with tiny shovels for players to use to dig up the buried treasure.
Four pieces of tracing paper showing a red dotted treasure map leading from one X marks the spot to another, lined up horizontally so the lines connect.
When the four pieces of tracing paper are overlaid on top of each other, the pieces of the treasure map spell out the name of the deity who called the players to the treasure hunt as a test.
Now that I've run the session, here's the latest batch of TTRPG creative shenanigans, with full inspiration credit to the incomparable Deborah Ann Woll. Alt text provides context for what each pic is.

Went to college with Jaime and am so excited at this opportunity for him!!

A two layer lemon poppyseed cake, frosted with raspberry buttercream and garnished with fresh lemon slices and raspberries.
Final Lemon Poppyseed Raspberry cake:
Ingredients, assemble! If you read that like the Avengers, thank you for getting me.
Lemon Poppyseed Raspberry cakes fresh out of the oven, and a homemade raspberry jam.
Interior layer is a bullseye of a raspberry frosting dam, filled in with concentric rings of raspberry jam and lemon curd.
As assembled as it will get until being served, when I'll add a circle of fresh lemon slice twists and a pile of fresh raspberries in the center.
Today I spent a bit of time processing my layoff emotions, and then spent some time doing something I love for someone I really like.
Birthday cake process pics! One more picture tomorrow when I finish it off with lemon slice twists and fresh raspberries.
A bobcat leans on a glass door, looking right into the camera that took this picture, amidst a recent snowfall.
Meanwhile, at my aunt's house... If you're cold, they're cold?

Wednesday is TRANSPHOBES ARE TRASH DAY!
Congratulations to those who celebrate this wonderful day.
Also, every other day is also Transphobes are Trash Day, I forgot to mention that.
Aetherial sailors seek original Homeworld.
A "before" style picture, showing a TTRPG map of four ship levels drawn on a hex grid. Of the 23 rooms, all but 3 are concealed with paper to keep players from seeing what they hold until their characters enter those rooms.
An "after" style image of the same concealed map from this post. This one shows all the rooms displayed, and shows the miniature furniture, drawings, traps and puzzles the players encountered during the session.
In the moments between the queer existential dread that is modern life in America, I find and hopefully share joy, catharsis, and escape through telling stories via TTRPGs. Here's my latest map for a session in which my players took down a (fantasy) military industrial complex R&D ship.
