I went to that building years ago when I lived in Buffalo. The Karpeles Manuscript Library was having an exhibit of maps of the new world. It’s in a great location, right between Downtown Elmwood and Allentown.

Can you explain? Did you really not like the book?

Is “10 visions of the future…” a short story, a novelette, or a novella?

I’ve also really been enjoying reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. The audio books are even better because the narrator does very funny voices.

Thank you for all your historic cat photos. I’m sorry you are leaving. I hope Bluesky will improve and allow you to come back someday.

What’s different about it? I can’t tell what they improved.

Huzzah! I hope Dork Tower patrons might still be able to see your original cartoon for Wednesday.

I have fond memories of “I’m Bored”. I bought it for my nephew, who’s now 16. It’s still a great book!

YouTube video by Urban Tapestry - Topic A Neurotic Love Song

I love that song! It’s a very funny song. Here’s a link to a recording on YouTube. youtu.be/HPMrnlOAsgc?...

I’m excited to try it out! The new dragons are really beautiful, and the pass-on-draft mechanism reminds me a bit of Terra Mystica and Res Arcana.

Where can I go to learn more about “the damage done by the Big Online Ebook Retailer”? I don’t know what you’re referring to.

Is “Bankrupt” a real YouTube series? Can you post a link to it?

You asked in the episode if there’s an app for Vantage. There’s already an online app with all the rules and storybook entries. (they’re not narrated, but they make solo easy to play) You can find it here: vantage.rulepop.com

Tom Lehrer, Musical Satirist With a Dark Streak, Dies at 97

Sad news. I loved listening to his songs as a kid. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/a...

I’m excited by boardgames like Wingspan where I don’t know who will win until the very end of the game. I’m less excited by games where I can clearly see who’s winning mid-game (like a racing game). If it’s clear I’m losing and I don’t feel like I can be competitive, I lose interest.

Congratulations! I loved playing Apiary and Wyrmspan, so I look forward to your future designs.

I remember Carleton proudly shared this story in their promotional material when I went there in the early 2000’s. I also loved seeing the bust of Schiller get stolen again and again.

I just finished reading this story from the Hugo voters packet. I enjoyed the discussion of life in academia, the subtle fantastical elements, and the slowly escalating tension. It’s an excellent story.

The Math of Tariffs In the whirlwind surrounding the 54% tariff paid by any company importing goods from China to the US, I consistently saw questions, confusion, and even accusations of greed regarding the math of ta…

Thank you. It’s one of my favorite songs from “Sushi and High Tea”. One more question: was your song “The Lady” based on a specific story? The song vaguely reminds me of “Interview with a Vampire”.

This song is a favorite of mine. I’m curious, which Ray Bradbury short story is it based on?

I don’t listen to metal, but I enjoy Blackmore’s Night. Ritchie Blackmore’s wife Candice Night will be 53. (they started the group when she was 26)

It means you like listening to Paul Simon. (and maybe that Paul Simon liked adding musical themed metaphors to “Graceland”)

Thank you, but I’m not seeing the giveaway link.

Thanks, I was confused because I didn’t see it listed in the White Space book series. All I see are books 1 and 2.

FYI - I noticed there wasn’t a goodreads page for The Folded Sky. I use goodreads to remember books I want to read.

Thank you for sharing his story with us. I’m sorry for your loss.

I backed the kickstarter years ago and enjoyed reading this series, but never got around to playing the game. I’m glad it’s getting a wider release.
