I’d forgotten the bizarre joy of trying to piece together an event after the fact by the social media memes. The Mamdani-Trump thing, especially when I have all mentions of Trump muted, was a fun challenge.

I can't even describe how much I love this.
When pregnant woman boarded a subway car, 38% of the time someone offered her a seat. If someone dressed as Batman was also in the car it rose to 68%.

I think Dracula could defeat Frankenstein but I don’t think Count Chocula could defeat Frankenberry and that speaks to the richness of the characters

I thought I was ordering a translation, but I should have checked more carefully. So now I get to fumble through 15th century #Scots poetry.
I’m having a great time, it’s just slow going, and I need to read everything aloud in the accent of an old man from Fife

Let me tell you how tired I’m getting of AI being forced into software:
I have genuinely given thought to making Linux my next OS.
This is not ok, and is the sign of a sick and twisted society that is collapsing.

This is tech/marketing people leveraging decades of science fiction media presenting "AI" as generally encyclopedic and infallible. People think they're getting JARVIS, when what they're getting is the machine version of that annoying dude in your dorm confidently spouting bullshit on every subject
This marketing term is causing untold harm, of course, mostly to the naive and gullible. But it’s surprising how many educated and apparently intelligent people are placing an unwarranted degree of trust in these programmes.

I really like Mork Borg and all its derivatives, but the books are so stylized that I find they’re actually difficult to use at the table. It’s a beautiful mix of art and fonts and layout, but that does not really lend itself easily to practical use. #ttrpg

My son has learned that I am useless to him at night. If I go in when he’s upset at night, he stops crying, points at the door, then cries louder until I take him to his mother. He has no use for the boobless parent, I am only for playtime during the day.

Officially a British citizen. The pledge to a king was pretty weird, but I managed to control my inner-American long enough. Now time to drink tea, wear a kilt, and complain about the French!

12 years ago today I was apparently at GenCon with @tomlommel.com playing Worlds Worst Dungeon Crawl.
I had a blast playing the game; but was so jet lagged I was almost hallucinating, surviving on a diet of sugar and caffeine; then collapsed with ConCrud as soon as I got back to Scotland. #ttrpg
