Not only that. It's already been proven that not engaging in the process rots your brain's ability at the process, e.g. we learn by doing, pushing through that frustration.

Using AI literally corrodes that part of our thinky bits, making it that much harder to do the next time.

The BEST kind of science! 🥰

Roaring 40s is good - but Rogue River Blue is staggeringly tasty. Pricey though.

Never use AI for a single fucking creative thing: it immediately destroys your burgeoning reputation and rots your skills.

I suspect the paperback cover comes closer to what you had in mind. 🤗

Between Rob and @realgdt.bsky.social - my timeline is a gothic wonderland today!

Guillermo? You ever play Warhammer, 40K, any other table top miniature game? Seems like something you'd have fun with. 🤗

"Faith is an island in the setting sun.
Proof is the bottom line, for everyone." - Paul Simon

"Outside another yellow moon
Has punched a hole in the nighttime, yes
I climb through the window and down the street
I'm shining like a new dime..." - Tom Waits

Now this sounds intriguing!

Caveat: not subs.

If you or anyone you know is wondering what is REALLY going on with the shutdown…

Watch every second of this. I Promise it’s worth your time.

A man of genius uses whatever materials are to hand.

This is an excellent Friday notion and needs more love. Post a book you love by favourite author and tag them.

Butcher of the Forest by @premeemohamed.com. A vicious kick of a fairy tale.

Okay - then you absolutely MUST include Night of the Generals near the tale end of your program.

Is A Bridge Too Far in there? I recommend it as a salute to Robert Redford if nothing else.

Making certain their purchase of TikTok turns out to be a terrible investment as we move on to yet another social network?

Happy to report this. Your Dad was an absolute treasure for us all and this asshole is a plagiarizing AI slopper.

Oh, let them have their 'perfect' cities. I have no need to visit Rapture.

Gov. Gavin Newsom just dropped a new video for Yes on Prop 50 —

There's campaigns in Nippon, but they do have a number of RPGs that are specifically designed to make one-shots very worthwhile.

You ever want to read a fantastic one that's been fully translated to English - check out Tenra Bansho Zero, Golden Sky Stories (+ Twilight Tales), or Maid: The RPG.

I've argued this point for years now, but as a designer of RPGs, I may be a bit biased. Nevertheless, I've consistently found that folk who embrace tabletop games suffer from a bit less stress, and have a far greater support pool, than most.

So they lived in Brigadoon?

Much like the Elves.

This one's for you @darthbluesky.bsky.social.

BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!
SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE!

And yeah, you can get your Skaven on, yes-yes.

You don't need a lot of red string to connect the dots on the Trump conspiracy board. It's mostly just a straight line.

It is hard to hold onto heroes these days. I generally go with Benjamin Franklin:

"...perhaps I’m an optimistic pessimist — prepare for the worst, but when the very worst doesn’t happen, I’m pleasantly surprised!"

Kimmel's original contract specifically states that he cannot be told what to say in any way, shape, or form - save he isn't supposed to utter the FCC's '7 words'.

I sincerely doubt he will moderate himself in the slightest.

Their losses (present and potential) must have been staggering to cave so quickly.
