It is a giant illegal plagiarism machine monetizing all of our intellectual property, & like every tech/finance grift before it, the business model is built on breaking the law & malfeasance. And the rush of university leaders & administrators to embed it in every aspect of our work is shameful.

Hey everyone. Just something I thought you should be aware of as active TTRPG community folks. Discord is seeking opinions about integrating AI intro their product. Tell them how you feel about it on their survey: discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

I admittedly don't get much time to play outside of D&D, but I really enjoyed Keith Baker's Phoenix: Dawn Command.

RPG tip: Don't overprep for your new campaign. Leave room for the things you learn during your session zero.

I don’t know if anyone else notices or cares, but when I see a presentation in which the speaker uses obviously generated-AI images to illustrate their slides, it makes me immediately less confident in whatever other content they’re presenting.

Enjoy yourself! Your players will enjoy it if you enjoy it. Don't get too hung up on the rules; mistakes are no big deal.

I am in Spokane and feeling spicey so here is a hot take: There is no such thing as an AI artist.

It's fun, it's clever, and it's just the right amount of new and comfortable. It is a tiny bit more brutal than I expected, so anticipate a level of violence on par with Full Metal Alchemist. I am enjoying it!

I've appreciated your work (and d20Monkey) for years. I am thrilled to be using some of your maps in Citadel of the Unseen Sun!

@thebenbyrne.bsky.social Can I just say how cool it is, as the designer of the original Bone Trader, to have that monster get a shout out two weeks in a row on the Eldritch Lorecast? ☺️ Totally makes my day that you're enjoying that little guy. Love the art and stat block you previewed, too!

Rasczak from Starship Troopers saying "I only have one rule: Everyone writes, no one quits. If you use ChatGPT, I'll kill you myself."

We need educators like this

Lower Decks has refreshed all that is good about Star Trek: the values, the joy, the hope, & above all the humor that (in most ST shows) simmers just beneath the surface! The JG officers & their adventures reminds me that even those of us who aren't flagship captains are valued in such a future.

cover of my new book everything is tuberculosis: the history and persistence of our deadliest infection

As the U.S. Government endeavors to make tuberculosis great again, please consider preordering a signed copy of my book about our deadliest infection, its long history, and why in the 75 years since TB became curable, we've allowed over 150,000,000 people to die of the disease. everythingistb.com

This one is in my top 5

Here is the pre-RFK vaccination schedule for your kids. Please download it before he is confirmed and changes/deletes it.

Give it to your pediatrician and say this is the schedule you want your kids on.

Making this my pinned post.

This is probably out of left field, but Yellowcard. So many of their songs already tell a story, it would be a reasonably easy task to chain them together for a jukebox musical!

Barney was absolutely preparing some ridiculous presentation to convince Ted to join him on an equally ridiculous adventure the following evening. 😉

Gandalf the White saying, "Be silent. Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth"

me when any program's AI assistant asks me if I want help writing:

You get 20 extra characters on Bluesky which is great because it means, when you copy your old tweets into Bluesky you can always add “THUS SPOKE THE LICH!” to the end and it will still fit.

They're all good, and this is really hard, but...

1) TNG
2) Lower Decks
3) DS9
4) Voyager
5) TOS
6) ENT
7) SNW
8) DISCO
9) Prodigy
10) TAS
11) Picard

Ask me tomorrow and you'll get a different list 😅
