-the list for a press junket, because I knew there'd be a chunk of time where not only would I be chatting with a great journalist, but I'd also just be sitting across from a pal talking about the hobby we both loved.

Rob, I will really, really miss you, my friend.

I think Rob holds the record among journalists I've worked with for joyfully and happily going over time on a Zoom call - every time we would chat, we'd immediately shoot the shit for at least 15 minutes about home games or deep cut TTRPG lore, and I would eagerly anticipate seeing his name on-

I join a massive host of people who think the world of Rob, and are gutted by the news. While I only ever got to know him through his work, Rob's humanity, integrity and kindness were so overwhelming that his mere presence in an interview or on a phone call immediately brightened your day.

Also worth remembering, as we talk about Free Speech, that the first speakers the current administration targeted were those demanding the freedom and safety of the Palestinian people.

Also - I can't believe we let the worst comedians on the planet spend *years* defining Freedom of Speech as a moral obligation to laugh at their bad jokes, and not as a protection against government censorship. You've been crying wolf for a while now gang, and a real wolf just got here! SPEAK UP!

Extraordinarily corrupt. I watched FCC chair Brendan Carr's full interview on Hannity. Carr basically said straight out that coverage of Trump he deems overly hostile can be decreed contrary to the "public interest," and thus grounds for yanking licenses:

I’m #TeamAabria

To everybody who has supported the shows and projects I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of, I owe you a debt of gratitude I’ll never be able to repay, but it will be the joy of my lifetime trying to repay it anyway.

From the bottom of my heart - HELL YEAH!
