The Department of State tweets a video of Secretary Marco Rubio. In the video, Rubio says: "Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country."

FactPost News tweets a video of Donald Trump speaking at a podium. In the video he says: "We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things."

hmm

Get Ready for The Madness of Metronax for DCC and 5e From Wizards With Laser Rifles - Get Ready for The Madness of Metronax for DCC and 5e

Super psyched to be announcing that my next funding campaign goes live in less than a week! It’s got magic giant ants, a new spell for DCC and fantastic art! www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

GaryCon was, as usual, a fantastic time. But damn it is tough coming back to the real world and a big list of stuff to do. Excited for my upcoming Backerkit, the new (non-Silam) adventure has been a ton of fun in the playtests and is now drafted!

Good.

Thanks for your (great as usual) work on it, Dak!

The latest from @wwlrttrpg.bsky.social should be hitting your boxes!

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives.

We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

If you’re a grown ass man in full tactical gear asking a child to show you ID or proof of citizenship you failed at life. Utterly & completely failed. Loser.

The Fight for $15 movement started in like 2012–its abject lunacy that we’re still not EVEN there.

Two DCC games combined into one!

DCC megatable!!!

Me and friends standing in front of the Gamehole sign.

Gamehole has officially begun!

A table of D&D fun.

Kicking off Gamehole early this year, a little 5e at the Airbnb.

This looks like space program propaganda from the Fallout universe

Trans rights are human rights.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.

Just seeing the first episode, Alien: Earth is a damn treat. So much world-building that feels in line with that first film in a great way, fantastic cast, and exciting stakes established for a (hopefully) great season of TV! Between this and Peacemaker coming back, I am loving TV!

Brain rot to think of this, brain rot to do it, brain rot all the way down

Awesome, throwing that on the list

It’s called “It’s Rough in the Rough”, looks like you can snag it on itch.

Yeah, Chicago

Depending on your location, I’m a big fan of Gamehole in Madison and Gary Con in Lake Geneva

I always find cons to be super invigorating to the creative work! Love ‘em

Do you have any adventures you particularly like? I saw one that details a mini-golf course and my brain exploded with how good an idea that is 😆

Yeah, my wife and I swapped to using reusable zip bags, don’t wanna “give up” several of those to the game, maybe I’ll snag a small bag of the cheap ones!

AI filmmaking and storytelling is punk rock. It’s hip hop. It’s counterculture. It’s a new type of creativity. It’s a new medium. It’s hated by the mainstream film and art establishment. It resists ideology. It ignores gate keeping. It’s uncomfortable. It’s scary. It’s viral. It’s accessible. It’s refreshing. It’s welcoming. It’s here.

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

I’m glad it comes in a box, not convinced that’s actually enough, I think I’ll need to get some envelopes or something.
