Almost broke down during first session with a budget advisor when the guy started to populate the budget template with income and I wasn't able to say what it was, that it wasn't regular, and I'm like: I am perched on a house of cards. I am walking on a frozen lake avoiding cracks.

ICE and CBP remain a violent menace and no Member of Congress should vote for a budget that gives the regime more money without ironclad limits on ICE and CBP, actual accountability for abuses, and clear guardrails to stop raids and intimidation.

This victory belongs to the people of Minnesota who have inspired all of us by transforming crisis into action and tragedy into solidarity. People power works.

The timing of this announcement — shortly before Congress votes on a DHS funding bill — is no accident.

Five creators who worked on Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast have spent the past year fighting a legal battle against Possum Creek Games and Steve Jackson Games. Neither the tabletop RPG nor their working relationships survived the fallout.

Nothing like a meeting with your accountant to make you feel like something stuck on the heel of the universe.

My one paying gig right now isn’t enough, folks, so if you’ve got a need for a proven game developer and creative director in tabletop or adjacent fields please let me know. 🙏🏻

I have successfully completed running the Leverage RPG. The Crew stopped a bank VP’s scheme skimming from mortgages whose officers he had blackmail on, culminating at a Super Bowl party. Playing this now has been a years-long goal. @rdonoghue.bsky.social @johnrogers.bsky.social @rustysellsword.com

Kermit’s voice changed in 2017. Current puppeteer is Matt Vogel, who replaced Steve Whitmire, who replaced Jim Henson.

As I figure out the art for Gyro Shooter something I want to ensure is that I commission 8-bit Commodore 64 style versions of these iconic characters. Little pixel sprites you’d no doubt have seen on an arcade version of GS back in the Eighties if it weren’t entirely fictional.

I’m working on more Gyro Shooter stuff today for my Patreon but not for nothing I’m lately really frustrated that I can’t design anything with the system that I spent so many years building and developing. Especially as I’ve been reading folks’ praise for it this past week online. 😢

He's one in 360 million, but a lot of this joy he produces has a Ted Lasso feeling: Imagine a grown man who isn't a dick.
Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake.

Ken "Whit" Whitman stole many thousands of dollars from many people. He created a scam in GA targeting new actors by charging them $500 a pop to make HIMSELF reel pieces. You already should not be engaging, but if you are, absolutely STOP.
Ken “Whit” Whitman, notorious in tabletop gaming for various get rich schemes and scams, is back trying to promote a Best Tabletop Designers of All Time Facebook page where he ranks creators using generative AI slop entries and art.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
