It's hard to convect away heat when there's nothing to convect into

Name a movie you've seen more than 7 times with just a gif

How Star Wars was (and is still) shaped by an RPG from the '80s How a musty old RPG put a name to many of your favorite things from Star Wars

That piece of art evokes an uncontrollable happy sigh every single time I see it. That game was everything to me as a kid.

[Me, stumbling out of my bomb shelter full of TTRPGs, looking over the blasted landscape devoid of life]: There's time enough now! Time enough at last!
So, uhhh, what's everyone's availability?"

Smouldering Skeleton Nearby: This month is actually really busy for me.

A fake Spirit Halloween costume bag. It sows a man in a Mork Borg t-shirt whose feet are covered with dice. The name is "TTRPG Player" and the bag says "Includes: Shelf of unread games, Dice, Scheduling issues, Oh my god so many dice, seriously where are they storing these?"

Time to get ready for Halloween!

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

indictment – #1 in United States v. Rabbitt (N.D. Ill., 1:25-cr-00693) – CourtListener.com INDICTMENT as to Michael Rabbitt (1) count(s) 1, 2, Katherine Marie Abughazaleh (2) count(s) 1, 3, Andre Martin (3) count(s) 1, 4, Catherine Sharp (4) count(s) 1, 5, Brian Straw (5) count(s) 1, 6, Jos...

This indictment of @katmabu.bsky.social and five other protesters is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read (this week), and I imagine it will be laughed out of (lower) court. They’re being charged with the conspiracy of slowing down an ICE vehicle. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

You’re overestimating the smarts and spine of the average politician.

Following her now!

Social post by Donald J. Trump that says: 'Bringing back Trillions of Dollars to USA! A great trip. Dealing with very smart, talented, and wonderful Leaders. Tomorrow, President Xi of China. It will be a great meeting for both!!! President DJT'

Trump keeps announcing economic miracles that only seem to exist in his posts.

I mean there’s this book that was published in 2010…

"Johnson is basically keeping the House out until January to protect pedophiles."

LOUDER.

Say it louder: Republicans only care about you if you're a wealthy pedophile. Everyone else can suffer.

I dunno Recreational MRI sounds like a good Grunge Metal band name too.

From my Larchives for you. Come and knock on our door! :)

Trump demolishes the East Wing — and White House norms The East Wing's rapid razing bypassed a detailed process for major federal renovation projects in Washington. Now, Senate Democrats are demanding answers.

I've launched an investigation into the contracting and approval process for the demolition of the White House—and whether the corporate donors funding Trump's ballroom are seeking favors with the Administration.

The American public deserves answers. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

A screenshot of The Good Life, from The Twilight Zone. A group of adults cowers behind a murderous, capricious, chaotic child while he is distracted by the last remaining adult with any courage. They could stop him, they could finally free the world from his reign of terror. It could finally be over, but not a single one of them rises to the moment, because they are useless cowards, beaten into submission by the chaotic whims of a child. This episode was produced and aired in 1961.

I found a picture of Trump and the GOP.

Image: cover of WENDIGOGO by KA Silva, illustration by Sally Jackson. Morty, an average white guy in a blue sweatshirt & jeans, looks warily over his shoulder at the monster looming behind him. It has the skull of an elk, with wicked antlers, glowing red eyesockets, and fangs dripping ichor. Its long arms end in vicious claws, and its bones show through holes in its ragged pelt. A blizzard swirls in the night behind them. The E in the title is formed by red claw slashes.

Photo: the author in full cryptid costume, a skeleton suit with ragged fur overlaid, long bony claws, and a deer skull mask. A faux skelly sits in a folding chair behind him, near a backdrop depicting a yellow harvest moon.

I've been asked to bring more copies of WENDIGOGO to Tardigrade's Bookshelf as they've sold out. Love me some indie bookshops yo. I offered to bring em tonight as I'm attending the masquerade ball in the same bldg. Seems right to deliver copies of Morty's story while costumed as him.
