This is the culmination of WEEKS of investigative work.

With a little help from my friends, I've unmasked where a white nationalist fight club has been training in my city:

Pretty weird to have a whole article about reinventing Target without talking about their attacks on DEI and LGBT or their support of ICE. Seems like if your stock was down 30%, you'd consider why you're now being boycotted on a national scale.

an absolute shit-tonne of posters on here shouted (rightly) from the rooftops about the bombing of civilians and civilian infrastructure in Gaza and Lebanon. please be sure that you continue to decry the bombing of such targets in Iran as well.

war hurts civilians more than it hurts leaders.

Hamlet is a close second:

"I have of late, (but wherefore I know not) lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed, it goes so heavily with my disposition; that this goodly frame the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory..."

Nothing encapsulates SAD for me better than these Sleep Token lyrics (from "Damocles"):

And nobody told me I'd be begging for relief
When what is silent to you feels like it's screaming to me
Well, nobody told me I'd get tired of myself
When it all looks like heaven, but it feels like hell

A beautiful, graceful mob boss.

And can't be blamed about it, because she's just so, SO right.

As the world sinks further into the dystopia #iHunt warned about, it gets harder to actually make iHunt material that's both believable and current and not just dimishing real world atrocity.

I've started season 6 of iHunt.

It's gonna be good.

line illustration of The Owl and The Pussycat. An owl plays a lute while looking lovingly at the Pussycat. A large smiling crescent moon dips down behind them into the waves. Stars fill the sky.

Cartoon: Line art. The Owl and The Pussycat. One of my favorite childhood poems. I did the sketch for this back in 1998 and never finished it. Just a pleasant evening of inking. Hopefully it won't take me another 28 years to colour it :D

Something very cool that Breakout Con is doing this year: arranging tables for playing solo rpgs together. In fact, I'll be running a few for SPINE.

This could be a special experience and even challenge some common notions about the nature of solo rpgs.

Hey @itch.io, I'm really getting tired of seeing works using genAI on your platform. Sure, there's a button to claim your work doesn't use it, which is all fine and dandy, but how about banning it from the platform completely?
