An example of infinite benefit of the doubt given to these fuckin dweebs, even in an article about how Elon's "strategy" at Twitter applied to the federal government "might backfire"

How is this an unclear outcome?
Screenshot of text reading: "It’s unclear whether his push for “extremely hardcore” changes at Twitter has paid off. Revenue at the company now called X has plunged, the number of users has dwindled and even Musk himself has expressed frustration at how long it is taking to turn around the company’s finances."

Still firmly in "is this anything" territory, but having a blast figuring it out during #tittyrpgjam

Who doesn't love a good table?

Mary, Mary, quite contrary,
How does your garden grow?

A table! It reads: d6 Table 1 Fairy lights and dancing sprites 2 Creeping vines and hidden shrines 3 Hanging fruits and bamboo shoots 4 Daisy chains and drizzling rains 5 Bloody reds and human heads 6 Buzzing bees and sweet peas

Now that I'm not constrained by the rules I imposed on myself with the 20 day book challenge - everyone go read Chain-Gang All-Stars!

I thought this novel was stunningly effective at addressing the desire to see incarcerated people suffer. It doesn't shy away from the severity of the crimes 1/2

I knew I needed that pack of 900+ fonts from @allis.ink to make #TTRPG handouts!

Tonight in Spire the party attempts a heist on Mother Moon's Arena, so obviously they needed a vintage fight night card to go with it.

5! The Dresden Files Roleplaying Game! A FATE system and I think the best system of an existing property I've ever played. Great rules for working in the magic and monsters systems of the book.

I have a tattoo of my bearman character (Charles Cretbear) from this campaign.
So many Dresden Files characters doing magic and holding swords on the cover of the Dresden Files TTRPG
