Kyle did an AMAZING job doing the headshot of my character for #over/under and everyone from the Dreamcatcher team !!!

Being Mister Eyes How I Joined the Space Mafia and ran an Imaginary Bookshop

Here's my ludicrously long blogpost about #over/under, and what it's like to run an imaginary bookshop in space. open.substack.com/pub/calumnm/...

There were so many little plotlines happening in O/U I knew nothing about, and this is one of them. Very much enjoyed reading this.

The finished Pentagon piece bsky.app/profile/deli...

I had a great time working for the Dreamcatcher in #Over/Under. While much of the work I did was copy-editing/information gathering, I am proud of the one piece for the paper I did write – a full writeup of the Pentagon plotline.

#Over/Under They have obtained 2 new stuffed animals (from Lucas). The collection grows.

I am! It's currently coming along and will probably be put out on the last day.

#Over/Under update: we are playing toys together.

I don't use this site much but I do need to come on to post about #Over/Under. Last night my character went out drinking with his colleague and they ended the night accidentally burning down a building.

UPDATE HISTORY 9/11/01- I'm still getting over the day of tragedy we here in the US have just endured. At 10 PM Pacific time, I decided I would resume life the same as I had before the incident. I decided to move on and continue FAQ writing by creating a FAQ for this game. Today, it sees it's official birth as I call it. Legal Bit is up and running (Section 12) • Got a start on the FAQ•

September 11th, 2001. A shocked nation grieves as the World Trade Center is destroyed in the largest terrorist attack on American soil. Unsure of what else to do, GameFAQs user BoredGamer collects their thoughts and begins to work on a plain text walkthrough of Tail of the Sun

The idea that you're a poor, set-upon victim, while you're in fact ruthlessly brutalizing people who you deem your inferiors, was central to Nazi propaganda during the first months of their rule. It's time to recognize that cavils about "political correctness" were always selling exactly that idea.

"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.

I can’t believe we’re actually supposed to be pro copyright now. I am honestly flabbergasted this is being sold as a leftist opinion to have

feel like I’ve woken from a coma and everyone was turned into a temporarily embarrassed patent troll.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE VILLAINS GET EVEN FUNNIER

California dem politicians are on a level of bad faith that most of the country can scarcely even comprehend. What happens when your party exists basically as a fundraising scheme and nothing else.

Bad Ink: how the new York times sold out transgender teens by Riki Wilchins

Well, this seems like a pretty topical day to read this essential nonfiction cut from @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

Which isn't a defense of AI or AI companies to be clear, but more... People really should think through the implications of their criticism and angles of attack for more than 5 seconds before signing on to something.

Like you think most online creators would be fully aware of the way draconian copyright protections & enforcement is used to strip creators of income and connect the dots, but apparently not ┐⁠(⁠ ⁠∵⁠ ⁠)⁠┌

Very good show, highly recommend people go watch it, might start posting about it on here, idk.

Finished Ave Mujica last night.

Holy fucking shit.

"American Jewry" sure is an... Interesting turn of phrase to use.
