Dragon Ball Z. No idea how I'd go about it. B would adapt Nutcracker, or maybe Tamara Pierce's Alana the Lioness.

You misspelled “kidnapped and extrajudicially imprisoned due to an abject failure of American governance and due process” Easy mistake to make. I before E, that sorta thing. I get it.

@mattcolville.bsky.social listening to your stream from the other day regarding fan casting for Heden, and I gotta say I’ve always pictured Joel Edgerton.

If my general YouTube and podcast consumption isn’t a major anomaly among likeminded folks… we’ve all collectively, and without fanfare, given up on “.gif” being pronounced with a hard ‘G’, huh?

I find it helpful to shout it in the shower with music playing really loudly.

after a quick review of my timeline i feel the need to point to the sign

Lol, 'work'.

Hiring for a thing on Indeed, and the NUMBER of applicants that appear to have fed our job requirements to an LLM to get a bespoke resume is… fuck, expected, I guess? But no, Tucker, you did not write audio plugins while employed at a healthcare conglomerate.

Democrats have introduced a bill to suspend the federal gas tax through October.

Ninite Snack Thought: "Call of Duty", as a game title, is dramaturgically unrecognizable now compared to its inception. The first game, a WWII action shooter with a HEAVY focus on the bespoke single-player campaign? Well, hell yeah, those dudes felt the call of duty, to (blah blah defeat the nazis)

I have not yet finished Wonder Man, but I am REALLY enjoying the unofficial official trilogy of Trevor Slattery.

When people say “I hate writing but I love having written,” they are not saying “I love that some completed text exists.” They are saying “I love getting to the end of the process and realizing that all the work was worth it, that this sentence really pops, that I nailed it.”

And I helped!! (Seriously these are all awesome. Either because of, in addition to, or in spite of my involvement. Depending on your perspective in the moment.)

If you're spinning up Blades in the Dark campaign this year to use the new Deep Cuts expansion, or getting ready for Blades in '68, do yourself a favor and grab our collection of rituals and inventions! Perfect rewards for scores, or as weapons used against the crew by other factions!

If they continue to speed run the beat sheet they seem to be checking stuff off of, then maybe we’ll get that lovely bunker ending soon enough to prevent death counts in the tens of millions.

I’ve been watching The Rip on Netflix this evening and it feels like a movie adapted from a play that doesn’t exist. I’m enjoying imagining what staging that play would be like.

It’s like the ttrpg-rules version of a TV series that, I swear, gets really really good once you hit season 5, but only if you read these thirteen tie-in fanfics, and pretend some of the characters don’t exist. But then trust me it’s great you’ll love it.

D&D benefits heavily from the tacit knowledge provided by a long history and robust community. Though I love D&D, I think if you handed the books to someone who had never heard of DND/had no ability to access other resources they would find it an experience whose juice is barely worth the squeeze.

Incidentally, I would welcome the opportunity to build something like this for someone else. If you see this and happen to be interested, Y’know. Say hi.

I have a woodworking project that I will now begin to share with strangers on the internet. Here is but a teaser. An appetizer for the forthcoming incomplete recollection of the process so far, which will eventually and mercifully conclude with an inexpertly staged photograph of the finished piece.

It took me a 3rd watch of “Wake Up Dead Man” to notice that Josh Brolin’s performance is absolutely BONKERS good. There’s not a dud in the bunch, but his made me utterly forget the actor so much that I didn’t consider the performance at all the first couple times. I think that’s neat.

Dreams, it would seem, really do come true.

You ever have a day that just spins so weirdly out of control that you find yourself sitting, pants off, staring at an 1858 copy of Webster's unabridged dictionary of unknown origin?

Katie Mack is one of my very favorite cosmological thinkers, and has some really nice local-cluster thoughts too. Like this one! Also, it’s a quote, but she was the first person I ever heard suggest that one “wear their convictions lightly” and that has been enormously helpful software to install.

The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

With all our beauty and care and love and wonder, we truly could be better than this. But enough of us have had those senses poisoned that it’s more profitable for some to offer odds on the apocalypse than it is to invest in its avoidance. I have forgotten what new disappointment feels like.

@ass.golf you’ve mentioned yoga as a transformative experience for you. Online resources are all “watch this expert do this. Now you do it!” and there’s no sense of how to get there from “I’m 40 and work at a desk all day” Do you have tips on the “finger exercises and running scales” of it all?
