This might be the most beautiful thing I've read in my life. What a privilege to be alive in 2026. ordinaryabundance.com

It's ok to look after yourself. It's ok to get some rest. It's ok to buy another book. It's ok to fill your rooms with books. It's ok to be surrounded by creaking towers & tunnels of books. There's always room for one more.

I finished this game of Kart hurtling full speed towards the finish line with no brakes or ability to turn right, but I still won!

Guys will listen to male influencer bullshit about needing to have a six pack and manipulate everyone and meanwhile women will go “you know who is the sexiest fucking guy I’ve ever seen?” and post this

Another Gen Con. Another five visits to my darling Cafe Patachou. Farewell until next year! 🥲

It feels like it says a lot about Indianapolis that my hotel TV defaults to Fox News.

I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful

Visited the @leder.games booth at #GenCon got to see the sneak peek of KARTS! Try to balance speed with control as you gather your friends and race down the hill. First to get to the bottom wins. There are fun upgrades for your cart and objectives that’ll add some craziness to it. #boardgames

Cardboard Time@cardboardtime.bsky.social · 3w ago

Kart ( @leder.games) sees players cobbling together speed machines that get progressively harder to control as they speed up. In our first play we slammed into hedges, tossed mud balls and water balloons at each other, and nearly slammed into obstacles at top speed. Can't wait for the next run!
