Good morning! Just a clarifying question--by Noir do you mean all private eye type voices (I'm wondering about hard-boiled detective stories specifically, which are often lumped in with Noir, but I'm a genre nerd, so...), more of the super dark/hopeless vibe, or some combination of the two?

Hello I am very excited about this

Can you tell we love working with this brilliant voice actor? Because we do! They helped us bring many voices to life in our most recent tale, including JUDGE and SHOSHONE, among others!

A poster for a casting call. A red field is across the top with "Call all actual play performers" in black and yellow lettering. Beneath that is a large black field with a yellow megaphone in the bottom left corner, angled up and to the right. It's pointed to a yellow star bubble with a red outline. Inside the star "Casting Call" is written on the inside in black letters. Beneath that is "Find Out Productions" in red and yellow, split across two lines. On the very bottom of the page is a thin yellow bar with social media handles written in black; stacked two columns and two rows, equal distance from each other and the sides. The left column has a twitch logo on top with "@FindOutProductions" next to it. Below that is Instagram with "Find Out Productions" written. The right column has the YouTube Logo with "@FindOutVods" next to it and directly below that is the Bluesky logo next to "@FindOutProductions"

Rare Supreme Court W.

Apparently we all, not just famous people, need to find a legal way to prevent our likeness from being used after death now

Even in high school I thought the very clear message of Fight Club was not to let our vapid over-consumptive culture lead you to become a mindless "space monkey" led by the nihilistic dark Id of a depressed loser, for it is a similar path.

The image is of an izalguun, a kasatha, a bantrid, and a goblin brandishing weapons as they enter a hallway on a space ship. In the top corner of the image is the "Paizo" logo, and in the bottom right corner of the image is the "Starfinder" Second Edition logo.

What if, instead of an advisor, it was literally two people in Congress

Even if this impossible best case scenario we're pretending is likely doesn't happen, we will assume an equally absurd rosy scenario we've just made up will come to pass instead. Until it doesn't.

Colin, the comrade running the shelter-in-place food program I'm working at, told me that this week he's had to turn down asks from schools to supply food directly to their sheltering families. The reason? There's not enough money coming in for that amount of food.

Let's change that.

What is happening in Kansas is fucked up and what is continuing to happen in Palestine is fucked up.

Actually, the left is winning the AI debate But it does need to get organized.

The left is not "missing out" on AI. It's winning the argument. Americans worry about AI and dislike tech CEOs. They're mobilizing against data centers. They support regulation, even refusal.

Calls for the left to embrace AI are an effort to change the terms of the debate in Silicon Valley's favor.

Followup: If you control the estate of Sir Terry Pratchett and/or know how to make 16-bit style RPGs without any AI nonsense hit me up, I've been meaning to take on another project I totally shouldn't take on.

I dreamt I was playing a 16-bit Discworld Night Watch RPG, and it was exactly as awesome as that sounds.

And now I'm awake and sad.

Well now, who could *that* be?

That is the empirically correct response.

Looking at some drafts I haven't touched in months. I feel slightly better about myself as a writer now, but that's a very low bar.

...wait a second, am I doing #RevPit this year?

Kind of seems like I might be doing RevPit this year.

Here goes nothing, I guess?
