A return to Nibblebottom finds Blemish (Martin Wilson) running the tavern the Strange Familiar. And he's not doing great. Listen to the latest episode here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit

A trip through Pizza Hell leads to a reunion with dragon "enthusiast" Kelvaxostrastymor Ebonwing (@erikaishii.bsky.social ) aka the Sword Bro. Listen to the latest episode here: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

We’re back from break and honestly the next few episodes are all-timers starting with the return of @thisistimryder.com as DQ the elf. We’re in Pizza Hell. It all makes sense.

Sure I’m excited that the Bears won but I’m more excited that Industry season 4 starts tonight.

Yesterday, Jan 5, I told my psychiatrist that tomorrow is my birthday. He looked at his calendar, winced and said, “That’s a lot.”

2026 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From! This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

Somebodies got a case of the New Years.

My best New Years Eve was in college (of course). We didn’t have a tv and just missed midnight so we pulled the clock off the wall, moved the minute hand back and everyone did the countdown then. Every ten minutes or so someone would move the clock again and start a new countdown chant. The best.

Screenshot from the video game Cookie Haus. A young boy named Chicken Nugget Kid is wearing a yellow chicken costume while at the counter of a cookie shop. All of the shop is shades of light blue. The Kid is saying “I want chicken nuggets” in a speech bubble.

My 2025 Breakout Character of the Year goes to Cookie Haus’s Chicken Nugget Kid from The Jackbox Party Pack 11. No video game character made me cry more.

(The tears were the tears of a proud and happy parent as the Kid is voiced by our 10-year-old, hearing him on screen is such a joy!)

I just think it’s so much cooler and more interesting to try to be the best audio show rather than the shittiest television show
