Listening to American political podcasts in 2025 seems like a quick way to go insane.

Miss Alex's writing, one of my favorite writers. I had Ebert for movies, Guns of Navarro for games. Hopefully a creative side project gets out into the world some day.

I’m a NYC union city employee and no one where I work has ever supported this Mayor. He has made my work impossible.

Liking the chiller music. Slight correction: Hasbro owns Wizards of the Coast, y’all said it the other way round. And Hasbro is…. They fit a stereotype I think most here have of corporations.

nobody has ever pronounced Hochul the insane way alex did, and says some people do. that is absolute nonsense. just a failure to admit that he was wrong.

A friend I play D&D with made a wood frame & acrylic face around a spare TV to be a digital map surface placed on his dining room table. He hooked up his laptop and used the TV as a second screen and was using Roll20 for the maps and creatures while we put our physical minis on the acrylic protecting the TV. We most recently did do the first level of Dungeon of the Mad Mage because he found a free map of the first level (it has HUGE maps). It was pretty good for him to be able to scroll around such a twisty maze of passages but there were certainly also some usability bumps. Sometimes some confusion on what specific creatures we're targeting when his perspective is 90 degrees relative to the way the TV map was oriented and some troubles hiding/revealing/moving creature tokens were up there. Finally not easily finding a map for the 2nd level he could import and use was one of them that led us back to theatre of the mind or our standby of dry erase grid tiles. (we didn't play that campaign much longer due to a bunch of scheduling issues)
