Hey friends!
If you are heading to PAX East and will be there on Thursday, Games on Demand is doing something new and will be possibly leading some small round table discussions. We are looking for people who have used TTRPGs in an educational format, in a classroom, with students etc. Let me know

I've seen some posts recommending getting video doorbells for early warning about ICE coming to your house. The flock partnership is exactly why this is a bad idea. Don't trust tech bros with your security. Your data is not safe.
jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.
![YOUR RING CAMERA IS AN ICE AGENT
[a drawing of a ring camera with an ice agent dragging a person away in its field of vision]
"In October of 2025, Amazon's Ring announced its partnership with FLOCK, an A.I. surveillance group that freely shares its footage with ICE, the secret service, and the navy. Flock customers can use A.I. tools to sift through footage to assist in all manner of operations (like raids and deportations) without a warrant. Unplug Ring! Melt ICE! Protect your neighbors!

slowly beginning to think that AI psychosis is far more broad than we think, in that there are people who it doesn't drive *crazy* who see, say, a coding model create a UI for something and immediately extrapolate that it will be The Future of All Stuff

This is a reminder that THREE songs were cut from Muppet Christmas Carol but I only hear people complaining about the one that contains no Muppets. Maybe you should do a little internal review of that.

sat what is likely my last table of the year last night, so it's stats time!
in 2025, I:
sat in 70 TTRPG sessions in 27 systems
facilitated 44 of those sessions across 11 systems
I wanted to "run 12 sessions" this year, so that feels like a success to me!
