Dimension 20 On A Bus was one of the best openers of D20 to date. Incredible players, stellar setting, and AMAZING DMing by Katie! For a first-timer, she absolutely NAILED it.

The first golden age of open source came from Incredibles optimism in new technology.
The second one is powered by spite, because every other software is now an unusable bloated mess and open source is the only alternative.

Whoa.

That's a sprite, an elusive, high-altitude electrical discharge from a thundercloud photographed by NASA astronaut Nichole Ayers from the ISS earlier today.

With reported sightings going back more than a century, this phenomenon was first photographed in 1989.

Pink and Black always make for a very good combination. 😌 Probably will go for some amount of gold for the numbers. (Either everything or the highest numbers.)
And yes, I'll admit it, they're technically Sleep Token inspired xD But will work very well for many characters and classes!!

My "FUCK AI" talk from @amazefest.bsky.social is not properly cut out yet, but if you can watch it on the stream recap.

In the talk I do a little deep-dive about how AI really works in a way that you don't need an engineering degree to understand. Check it out!

Today my kid (who's 10) asked if I've ever posted pictures of her on public social media.

I haven't.

It's nice when a decision you made a long time ago lets you give a good answer to a good question.

Can‘t make or buy art for your #ttrpg project? Well, this is leagues better than using generative ai.

No AI, this is a real photo taken by Percy’s engineering cameras of astronomical twilight on #Mars! You can see Deimos in the sky too.

I worked pretty hard to plan, execute, and analyze this image, and it came out beautifully! A bit noisy, but it was very dark out after all.

Friends, if @hamleteuproject.bsky.social is now following you, block them immediately.

They are an AI start up that is scraping all your content!

While a Youtuber released a 3 hr video cherry picking information, elevating astro turf tech groups, and claiming the lawsuits are faulty, in reality things are moving in a positive direction for creatives!

In one of the lawsuits brought up, Kadrey v Meta, this is what the judge had to say 👇

I was going to post this article this weekend but Duolingo's recent doubling down on replacing humans with generative AI pushed me to get it out sooner.

Here's a list of amazing apps for learning Japanese that DON'T use generative AI!
