We're each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold your hand out in the dark?

me with a blue funnel like hat, with a stick out the top holding a red ball on a string. I have on a red capelet and am carrying a letter with calligraphy and a seal in my crooked beak. I've got a badge with a symbol on it

the guy from the original painting that's got on my outfit except it's wearing tan turnshoes

Rooting not just for a Game 7 of the World Series, but another 18 inning game that goes so long on Saturday night that the clocks fall back at 2am before it’s ended and everyone gets tremendously confused about what time it is.

They're calling him the most French man in history

• Professors should never put a student's words or work into an AI software without their consent. • Professors should also be transparent about their Al usage with grading, curriculum building, and any other way they might use it in their teaching. • If a professor does use Al chatbots in the classroom, they should explain their reasoning behind this decision and how its usage will help students meet learning outcomes. • Professors should additionally respect a student's choice to refuse Al. To do this, it would be ideal that they have assignments that students can choose from that do

Eminently reasonable proposed principles for professors’ use of AI, from a student refusinggenai.wordpress.com/2025/08/29/a...

What Makes Me Want To Run A Game? - Old Men Running The World Or, to give it its true clickbait title, "Why I have absolutely no interest in running 7/9 of the games Quinns Quest has reviewed."

New article on Old Men Running the World, where I drill down into what makes me want to run a game and what makes me run a mile. #ttrpg

doing layout checks and lol past Dee+Calvin wrote some pretty fine scifi and cultural satire

My take on the World Series? I support Shohei Ohtani’s role as global ambassador for Oi Ocha. I’m a regular Ito En drinker and I agree with Ohtani’s take: “So much is happening these days. It makes sense to take a break for green tea.”

short version: just about every good outcome in my life is the result of someone somewhere saying something genuine or interesting that stuck with me and gave me cause to approach the world in a better way. so I try to be genuine or interesting in the hope of throwing little life rafts out to others

AR-PHARAZÔN THE GOLDEN: What you have to remember also is he appeared in fair form.

CHOTINER: The next time the invasion of Valinor and the destruction of Númenor come up, I'll keep in mind that Sauron was handsome when it happened.

AR-PHARAZÔN: He was. Not that that excuses it.

CHOTINER: Right.

me: ugh god you know how you make plans for friday night but then friday night gets there and you don't want to do it and it feels sooooooo good to cancel?

I love Rebecca DOWN. Known as Dollar Tree Dinners.

Her “Meal in a Bag” is meant to provide ppl with a complete meal that is $8 or less, is shelf stable, & can be made without access to a full kitchen. I love this as a direct aid option. Good for neighbors & elders who can’t/wont go to a pantry.

I think a lot about a response to a journal article one of the Kurdish revolutionaries wrote where she talked about how academia hates subjects that can write back

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
