Can’t see heaven if you have been immortalized 😤🙌⚔️

Gobsmacked my 8 year old recognized the Sydney Opera House in Mario Kart 8. She explains: “I know curves and stuff because you explain boring things to me.”

Did AI Take Your Job? The Truth About AI Washing. | Built In Companies are blaming AI for layoffs, but experts say most cuts stem from financial pressures. Here’s what “AI washing” means and what the data shows.

Please do not unquestionably repeat executives’ dubious claims that they just HAD to lay off thousands due to AI efficiency gains. (Note that the linked article is actually more carefully phrased.) Quoted post gets ONE mulligan because “Meat” made me LOL.

My kid assumes any invocation of time means “we won’t make it, so just give up.” This is a puzzle yet to be solved.

Ilustração de um grupo de aventureiros viajando por uma paisagem desolada. O grupo é composto por um elfo magro e alto com um misto de equipamento medieval e apetrechos tecnológicos que está entretido mexendo em um computador de pulso; um halfling com armadura pesada e olhar obstinado que fuma um cachimbo e leva uma lança numa mão, guiando uma mula com a outra mão; e uma necromante humana que carrega um esqueleto como se fosse uma mochila enquanto observa a paisagem ao redor com ar divertido. A mula que carrega o equipamento do grupo é guiada por uma corda segurada pelo halfling e olha ao redor com preocupação e medo. A paisagem é pontuada por rachaduras num chão árido, árvores mortas e destroços tecnológicos de várias eras: um totem xamânico, um cybertruck quebrado e pixado com os a frase "Elon Sucks", um tanque de guerra futurista caído com pernas como um inseto, um esqueleto de demônio com duas cabeças que parece tentar alcançar um pequeno computador. No primeiro plano da cena, uma criatura humanoide com duas cabeças, olhos de mosca e cauda de escorpião observa os aventureiros com curiosidade. No fundo, névoa, picos pontudos e um céu tempestuoso.

Ilustração digital. Um homem forte, careca, peludo, com rosto marcado por rugas e um cavanhaque. Ele está sentado num banquinho vestindo calça e um cinturão. Com uma das mãos, apoia-se numa espada com a lâmina voltada para o chão, enquanto o cotovelo do outro braço se apoia no joelho.

Inspired by the responses in this post -- okay, GM's, what are you keeping all your world-building stuff in? Using one of the dedicated sites? I've got everything in a player-facing Google Drive folder. Did I watch Youtube videos to learn to make character sheets in Google Sheets Of COURSE I did.

Between sessions, I take think-aloud notes by hand and doodle maps/NPCs in Rhodia notebooks with multicolor pens. Feels more like “fun fun” than “lonely fun.”

I put player-facing wordbuilding details in a shared Google Sheet with session recaps, and also in locations of custom Google Maps.

RFK Jr. Lied His Way Into Office and American Health Is the Victim He is pushing quackery as science as health secretary

Kennedy canceled $500 million in mRNA research and announced no new mRNA projects will ever be initiated—killing the technology that produced the fastest vaccine rollout in human history.

“When people with ‘empathy’ in their job description say it helps others to use alt text, I assume their true motive is to make me feel bad” is certainly a thing some might say on the internet.

I wish BlueSky would require alt text by default. Expensively automating (bad) captions is no solution.

This link’s about the street-level popularity of VRchat and what I find fascinating is that Zuckerberg And his ilk looked at this deeply touching human experience and then wasted $80 billion dollars trying to make legless conference rooms and shopping malls. Their own impoverished souls doomed them.

Democratic Leaders Resist Effort to Impeach Trump on Iran Democratic leaders are urging against efforts within the party to impeach Trump before the midterms, say those involved in the debate

I understand that Democratic leadership sees a failed impeachment vote as politically problematic, but I also think it may be even more dangerous to shrug and move on like nothing happened after the president openly threatened genocide. time.com/article/2026...

Review on a game I designed: “Nice! A new 2400 game is like warm noodles on a cold night.”

I have a folder titled “Nice Things” where I put screenshots to cheer me up and boost my confidence. (Maybe you could use one too.)

Thanks to Jacob, whoever you are, for the entry that made me smile today.

Truly a testament to this administration’s backstabbing, heartlessness, and incompetence that we can rule out neither “she’s trying to get out in front of something” nor “somebody in the White House calculated that they were better off with Epstein dominating the news than Iran.”

What is zonecore? Creating Exclusion Zone Botanist led me to search for the origins and critical works of the genre. Here are five common elements of zonecore and a list of zonecore tabletop games for inspiration.

Phew! All clear! Back to work, everyone! Situation normal until next time the war criminal in chief promises genocide.

THIS.

For all the people living in a world where thy really believe why didn’t happen couldn’t happen. That fool spoke this out loud into the world with his whole chest, and when you’re in a powerful position of responsibility and authority, what you say you might do matters.

I don’t believe that I can accomplish my political aims by denouncing my country’s dangerous, right-wing leaders on social media, so I don’t usually bother—but today feels like an especially important day to state that Donald Trump should not have control of a nuclear arsenal.

i've been quite skeptical of manned spaceflight but we have big machines that turn pilots and scientists into poets and i think we should keep using them

The Times deliberately left out, "Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH!"

An appalling omission from a media outlet actively trying to help President Trump.

I asked what was behind the illusion and plumbed the far reaches of her absolutely bonkers cosmology.

“Raise your hand if you think life is an illusion,” my 8 year old said at dessert. I really expected to have a few more years before I had to field this one.

I hope these “all the money goes to the billionaire” rules apply even if there’s no player controlling the billionaire, for maximum unfairness

First edition was a big inspiration for me 👀

I'm looking for folks to staff my booth at cons throughout the year. They'd need to be familiar with Cairn, obviously.

DM me or email warden@cairnpress.ink if you're interested and I'll send you a form to fill out.

Yes! I feel like the PlayStation Spider-Man games give a hint of one way to conceptualize that, even—sort of “NYC gridcrawl” with random encounters, faction quests, escort quests, etc.
