I've been told I'm a bard, a druid, or a wizard. This test seems to think I'm too introverted for bard and too nerdy for druid?

Wizard it is!

A tiny, worried red dragon holds up a sign saying "Heroes needed!" while a huge shadowy dragon roasts a knight leaving nothing but ash. Additional text reads: 4 new open seats at Replay Lincoln Park! Sunday January 11, 4-8pm

A sudden Drinking & Dragons cancelation at Replay in Lincoln Park means there are 4 seats up for grabs for Sunday's game! Turn their loss into your gain and become the hero of the day! events.humanitix.com/drinking-and...

One week, the notetaker wasn't able to play and the rest of the party got into all kinds of inane nonsense because nobody could focus. "Yohg would have kept us in line," commented our himbo zombie as he stole his hands back from a retired pirate (plus a few extra bones from the bone jar) 😂

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

Child: I am stealing your feet, just like I stole R's 😈 Now I have 6 feet
Me: Awesome. Now will you please just walk over to your room and get changed?
Child (slowly scooting): I must slide there, because of all these feet.
Me: WHAT?? You've got 6 feet, so walk like an insect. Go. Goooooooooo 😩

And I helped! 😆

screenshot of a post on facebook from Alex Lamoreaux, depicting two versions of the "same" photograph of a bobcat in front of a pine plantation, one labeled original game cam photo, one labeling AI processed the markings have been altered on the AI photo, and the head changed and resized text says: Oh! A neat goose hybrid posted to ‘What’s this Bird?’ but when you zoom in on the photos the bill details have been too manipulated by AI photo editing to be accurately assessed for which species may be involved. Scroll on… A cool-looking Red-tailed Hawk that someone is wondering which subspecies it might be - right up my alley! But when you zoom in on the photos literally every feather group has been so heavily manipulated and altered by AI editing that it’s impossible to determine subspecies because the photo is essentially fake now; just a mashup of whatever AI thinks parts of a Red-tail should look like. Scroll on… WOW! That’s a remarkable trail cam photo of a Bobcat! It almost looks like a painting!… but the head looks oddly small…. hmmmm. After some prodding the original photo is produced and sure enough it had been so heavily altered by AI ‘post processing’ that the photo posted was essentially a digital mock-up with totally different proportions and fur markings. No longer the photo off the trail cam; it may as well have just been ‘created’ by AI from scratch. This stuff is killing me. My days on social media are becoming very limited. We can’t even trust simple, everyday photos of animals to be real. The wildlife community needs to quit editing with AI, and we need to start calling out photographers that are using it. Our reality is being destroyed all around us.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing

these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous

this is worth sharing and educating people about

Listening/watching now and it's a great convo.

Highlights so far:
- players becoming more confident outside the game because of being able to explore tough topics in-game
- links to resources
- really interesting modifications to safety tools

"I like people, I like the way they smell, I like the way they think"

When I am finally victorious and my ideological enemies thwarted, all who opposed me shall be lined up and dutifully distributed their equitable share of the rights I fought for and they so vigorously opposed, because That Was The Fucking Point

new Clippings column is now up. written and illustrated by yours truly.

Helped a neighbor dig her car out of the snow today. The aftermath was a brutal reminder that I'm not in my 20s anymore. On the other hand, I'm not in my 30s either. Send muscle relaxers 🫠

Gonna echo what Charlie said, worrying about ruining xmas is just the trauma talking. SB was shitty, you're gonna do fine 💜

They should provide budget & ideas. If they don't, it's ok to ask!And yeah, it's a good idea to be ready to provide a couple of interests or gift category ideas.

Resist the Trump regime - give to support the people of Chicago! We've compiled a (non-exhaustive!) list of citywide resources you can reference. You'll find ways to donate, volunteer, or organize an event. Step up for Chicago communities: tinyurl.com/ICAmutual

In self-interest but also general interest, folks: Black Friday is coming up, and small publishers/independent creators will always be a better choice than megacorps.

When the sales drop, please remember that!

I'm running a birthday game for my nephew later today and I convinced the kids to give my Magic of Friendship Warlocks a try. Each get a different flavor to their eldritch blast, and the more warlocks you get blasting at the same time, the more powerful they become as a group.
