To adventure is to leave safety & certainty behind, to gamble all your possible futures for glory, prowess, and prestige. That's the game of this brief existence. Come watch four local adventurers in Juneau's first ever live-play TTRPG performance before a live audience. GM'd by Conor Lendrum and starring Ryan Hicks, Kathleen Harper, Drake Skaggs, & Zac Pease. On October 18th at Perseverance Theatre you can see them ROLL FOR THEIR LIVES. We couldn’t be more excited to lift the curtain on this one! This show will feature narrated violence and adult themes and language, suggested for ages 15 and above. Doors at 6:30pm | Show at 7:00pm. Sponsored by Riddle Valley Games

Gaza aid flotilla hit by drone attacks and explosions, activists say Activists on board the Global Sumud Flotilla said they heard explosions and saw drone attacks late on Tuesday.

Activists on board the Global Sumud Flotilla said they heard explosions and saw drone attacks late on Tuesday.

Remarkable document: hundreds of European politicians are calling to mobilize European resources to protect the Sumud aid flotilla as it faces escalating attacks on its way to Gaza.

In other words: European politicians are trying to protect humanitarian volunteers *from Israel.*

Though the man’s killing had been filmed, a fact checker is obliged to seek comment from any party alleged to have committed a crime. I called the soldier’s lawyer. He picked up from a café, where I could hear trance music blasting in the background. The lawyer told me that while, yes, his client did shoot the man picking olives, and yes, the man did die, the Israeli military court found his client not guilty of murder because the man picking olives was a terrorist who was throwing stones. Even though the video did not show the Palestinian man throwing stones, the court said that he was, so he was. QED, his client did not murder anyone, and it would be slanderous for us to say so.

if you read one thing today, make it this absolutely devastating piece from a fact-checker who quit the New Yorker

well that was spicy but we’re on. Wouldn’t be surprised if the Juneau airport is a little bit of a mess today— definitely be kind to airport workers, they are probably having a rough one!

phew, hard to tell— I couldn’t even make it to the pre check line. Multiple people have passed out in line (medical support here) and only one bag xray going. We’ll see if we make our flight to anchorage 🙃

Juneau airport is…different this morning

if you have a billion dollars you should be legally designated a dragon and any human can adventure against you

I bought a player of these too! (only wish it had the reminder text for morph printed on it!)

There is a fantastic little zine called "Upkeep" about my favorite magic format (cube) and issue three just came out-- with a piece written by me! Check it out: upkeepzine.blogspot.com

oh hell yeah this is supremely good shit!

A incredible podcast that has been with me through so many phases of my life. I still think about some of the bits of iconic instrumental music -- so nice to hear them again in a new episode!

I always think baseball hat style with a bill

The Political Awakening of the Oyster Farmer Gunning for Susan Collins Graham Platner’s campaign launch has been a sudden sensation. But what he’s building now is rooted in the work of a lifetime.

This story has it all: aquaculture, Black Flag, Bernie Sanders, Star Trek as policy, John Hodgman, male tears, and a candidate citing Luthen’s monologue from Andor.

Meet Graham Platner, the Maine oysterman trying to crack the senate. @grahamformaine.bsky.social

Temple Music - Realmz YouTube video by ArcMoonblade

The music was really something.

thinking about Realmz this morning and the shareware version that came with a MacAddict magazine. I had no idea what I was doing and loved it.

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

this blew my mind! I thought I understood some of the weird sizing of the mercator map, but I definitely did not. (Especially humbling because Alaskans love thinking about how big our state is)

AI Is a Mass-Delusion Event Three years in, one of AI’s enduring impacts is to make people feel like they’re losing it.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

people in the lower 48 don't usually think about how big alaska is. if you were to lay alaska flat over the lower 48 with the western aleutians in california, untold millions would die from the force of the impact and human civilization as we know it would surely be destroyed
