Dream last night of a Sesame Street parody, CHAIRS. Ted Danson is behind the (milk?) bar, everyone shouts "BERRRT!" when he walks in.
Ted/Sam: "How's it going, Bert?"
Bert: "I'm a breadcrumb, Sam, and everybody's doin' the pigeon." He perched on a stool next to Cliff/Ernie, and then I woke up.

The dice roller we've been using in our Discord no longer works?
Can anyone suggest an alternative system-agnostic dice roller app?

The season's upon us, it's that time of year!
Science & carnage, there's battles to cheer,
there's twists to these plots
and there's stings to be stung,
there's research to do
and plenty of fun!

When I'm getting ready to play or run an RPG, sometimes it's fun to craft the perfect character I want to play....and sometimes it's fun to make a random character generator that catapults me into an unexpected new life for a while.

Always a great sign for how things are going in your country when 21-year-olds are like “hey, I innovated a system to play bagpipes in tear gas”
Jack Duffy attaches a respirator to his bagpipes to play through tear gas. “I always play it whenever the police retreat because it's like, ‘You fucking ran while we stayed,’” he says.

"That Box We Sit On"
A metal box sits embedded in a field. It’s the everyday hangout spot for two kids after school, but why? One of them lets his imagination run. The other mostly jokes about it.

If reading these letters doesn’t fill you with a deep and urgent need to burn these concentration camps to the ground after releasing their prisoners, you would’ve been on the wrong side in WWII.
1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

production of The Muppet Show should not be dependent on petty vulgarities like “ratings” or “revenue.” it should be preserved as a vital function of american culture. it should have a taxpayer-funded budget rivaling the CIA

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

My actual job description is activist and here’s what I tell people in despair all the time: do not underestimate how much harm you can prevent by being just a little bit annoying.
This is one reason I keep trying to remind people of the power that we have. That we have *always* had. Not because I’m in denial, but because I know history. I’m no sophisticated intellectual, but I do know we’re going to win even though the bad shit is really terrible right now.
Too many people on Bluesky think that relentless expressions of despair are a sign of intellectual sophistication.

Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.
My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

bezos is simply following in the grand rich idiot tradition of gannett, advance publications, and many other private newspaper owners before him. he's merely wealthy enough to sink a more prestigious brand than the times-picayune

This cannot be something a civilian law enforcement agent is allowed to wear in the US — and an agency that has a culture that tolerates this cannot be saved.

Out today (tomorrow in comics shops): an economically-priced single-volume MARCH omnibus. While there’s nothing new in here content-wise (that’s something we’ll be tackling in the future), it’s a great option for schools, libraries, book clubs & the bookshelf. Softcover and hardcover!
