It’s funny every time YouTube auto-generates a playlist so “personalized” that I’m in the thumbnail, but this may be the all time best.
A screenshot of a YouTube recommendation for a “Heavy Metal” music mix featuring a thumbnail of the post author playing a Nord keyboard. YouTube says it’s a “personalized playlist for you.”

“I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Carrots. Handbags. Cheese. Poets. Weddings. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.”

I was trying to remember what happened in a particular session of an old game or what I’d prepared. I’m a bit proud to learn that I didn’t prepare much beyond a little opening speech.
It reads: I get that these big decisions add stress for players too. I want to help you through it because this is still about telling a story together. I want you as players to feel empowered to make big, bold choices. I want to be surprised by your choices. That means I can’t always hand you things without you asking the question or making the move. So I’m telling you to be creative. So long as you are trying to move a plot forward, don’t worry about what you’re supposed to do or driving things off the rails: if you want to follow up on something, go for it.

I didn’t know that I could get radicalized more.
A Reddit post that asks, “Wild that when your employer steals your money, you have to go through the state department of labor or file a civil suit for restitution, but if you took cash out of the till they'd call the cops and have you arrested on the spot.”

I love that T references this at least once a week.

I've been heavily considering getting off Google Docs and retreating to markdown, and I'm not sure which direction these advances in autocorrect / spelling suggestions are pushing me.
