Have you ever wanted to read a dense, scientific journal-style essay about Dragon Age? Specifically about the Joining Ritual of the Grey Wardens? Complete with a glossary, diagrams, and an APA format bibliography?
THEN BOY HAVE I GOT JUST THE THING FOR YOU!

Glad to see people talking about Penn Jillette. The 2024 interview was done by me. I found him to be a refreshingly reflective, self-critical individual who has remained curious and willing to evolve.

She frowned and went: "No, you gotta complain more. Don't NOT do the work, but let them know that it's not easy. You've got the "Curse of Competence" and they're gonna work you to the bone and never compensate you for it if you don't pipe up now and again."

So I think it's twofold: Managers, you gotta be wary about the workloads you're giving your direct reports. Things need to get done, but you also need to manage up and say: "If you want this done, and in a timely way, I need more people."
And you? You gotta complain about the work a little bit more

Why is it that, in a world where dictionaries are digitized and instantly accessible at our fingertips, I feel like we are less adherent to the meaning of words than ever? 🫠

31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.
I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Remember, the big argument for AI in the arts is that these “artists” have ideas, hundreds of ideas, thousands, all that was stopping them was the hoards of gatekeeping musicians, writers, illustrators… and not that they were lazy and didn’t want to put in the work.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

Every part of this is art. The tearful American nationalism going all the way around the swingset and becoming camp performance art. The aerial silks. The children's choir. The dove. Even the outro of the YouTube video at the very end sends chills down my spine

I only just got into DAI last year but it's utterly changed my life for the better. I've met so many amazing people through Dragon Age, and it's unlocked such a passion for its lore and storytelling in me.

Good news for anyone who was interested in purchasing my big honkin’ graphic-novel-length Yakuza fancomic but was running into the stripe processing issue with Itchio, it’s now included in this HUGE bundle of AMAZING books by SPECTACULAR artists and Itchio IS processing payments for it with stripe.
