If you're enjoying The Prisoner now that it's on Criterion, you might enjoy the podcast that @matthewguz.bsky.social and I made: THE PRISONER'S DILEMMA! We talk about what each episode is doing, how it was made, and what the show says about McGoohan as a creator. the-prisoners-dilemma.com

with the release of the final episode of the current double feature, the inaugural #TSBGJam is now live! yay!! make a TTRPG or supplement inspired by: - gravity (2013) - the martian (2015) - apollo 13 (1995) - looper (2012) - happy death day (2017) or by the convos we've had about them on the show 🥰

The first-ever This Should Be a Game! Jam begins in two weeks and runs for a month-- make a TTRPG or supplement inspired by any of the movies we've covered so far, or by the conversations we've had about them on the pod!! #TSBGJam

chopping it up with the transphobes before the Fire-Fever game on Friday really hammered this home: they want to endlessly "debate" abstract gender concepts because they have absolutely no way to implement any kind of sports-gender policy that doesn't require a whole lot of child genital inspection

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

The Campaign to Force Genital Exams on Girl Athletes Soon Washington State could require sex-verification tests for those playing sports in schools.

i'm mostly not a hater about ttrpg stuff, but there are two things that peeve me: 1. chudling ass youtubers 2. involvement of the genocidal and apartheid state of israel

Why would a woman try to appease a scary man whom she is legally bound to for many years to come, by virtue of a helpless child whom he has access to and could harm in retribution at any time? Why would she offer empanadas to such a man? Truly perplexing.

* mew've got to be KITTEN me!! while the TREACHERY OF LANGUAGE was first POPULARIZED by MARSHALL MACLUAN, its APPLICABILITY as a MEANS OF INTERPRETATION was CHAMPIONED by the scholar ROLAND BARTHES !! and i thought mew had a COMMEWNICATIONS DEGREE...?

This might be a bit of a hot take (and very much isn’t targeted at anyone to be super clear, just my general experiences over the last 8 months seeing people talk about my game) but I don’t think Girl Frame is niche or has a small audience, speaking as the person who has the sales numbers

Monsterhearts got that treatment for so many years. Very popular, held back only by my lack of business acumen, constantly described as a niche title or an undiscovered gem. I think there's a knee-jerk assumption that girl-coded or queer-coded titles only appeal to a small and bounded audience.

industry awards are a net good for the material difference they make in artists’ lives—especially in a culture that doesn’t value creative labor nearly enough—but the persistent voting and logistical issues the ennies face (or invite) each year necessitate change beyond adding or editing categories
