Sometimes the words that come out of my mouth in class are just weird.

Today it was “Bellybutton Bitcoin”

Make of that what you will…

Is there anyone surprised by the falling out between Trump and Musk?

Trump has a history of throwing his allies and employees “under the bus”, and Musk is about trying to be the most influential and important person in the room.

I am currently pondering a question:

What is creativity? How does it pertain to educational settings?

Looks like Australia is continuing the trend of looking at the right wing and going “yeah nah mate…”

There was cosmic weirdness in my mailbox this day. My games may get a little “tentacley”

Stunning work from @crowlandpub.bsky.social

I’m about to start DMing another D&D campaign. And even after 40+ years in this space, I’m still … will they like it? Will it get past session 3? Have I prepped enough? Are my plots hookable? Will it be fun?

This ends up being most of my campaign paths…

I do not argue on social media.

Trying to change opinions with silly things like facts, data and expertise is only really good way to get myself really frustrated.

But sometimes I have to resist looking into that abyss.

Why is it when I ask for/offer some game mastering advice on FB, I always end up with at least one bitter and utterly unhelpful response?

About 30 years ago, I built a boardgame as a university assignment based around Talisman and was designed to teach concepts of Evolution, Environment and Natural Selection. The prototype is lost long ago and there are only vague memories of how it worked.

At some point I should revisit the idea.
