The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

Anyone know the name of this painting? I saw a clip of just this lil guy and need to see the entire thing. Look at them. Just the most miniature of dudes.

Your RPGs can do with more Borges.

A toad@toadlett.bsky.social · 2d ago

Ficciones by Jorge Luis Borges. Each of these stories is like an incredibly complex faberge egg that you have to hold carefully and entire in your mind once you've read it, only able to see the whole of it after reading. Then you smash it on the ground to read the next one.

Do we have yet a "radioactive - explosive - antimatter" dangerous freight sign? :D

Incredible how a paint job makes the same door look different. I have the impression the left one is earlier, with a more stylish house number.

A new Lantern update came up and you bet I'm going to start a new save game.

Lantern of the Laughless Saint is pretty awesome actually. The best megadungeon I've seen in a videogame.

Sometimes I make small pamphlets for my friends. In this case, it's because I really want them to stage a production of Dunsany's The Gods of the Mountain. Shoutout to @artikid.dice.camp.ap.brid.gy for introducing me to Dunsany's plays in general and this shining gem in particular.

Cheese toastie with american cheese and gorgonzola, dipped in a cup of hot milk, for breakfast. If you do it right the bread sops up the hot milk, stays crispy and tastes toasted outside, and blends into a perfect mix. Kid's version of white sauce, more or less. (less)

Last night I asked "what's that movie like The Craft but with boys?" and as a punishment I've been bullied into watching The Covenant. Kids, don't watch The Covenant. Not even once.

The world is a scary place so I'll spend the day under a blanket reading Ars Magica.

We believe an open web starts with choice. That includes AI models. We’re excited to be partnering with Mistral to bring open-source AI to Firefox Smart Window beta and expand access to France, with French-language support.

I think that 20 year old me would be weirded out that, even after moving on the other side of the continent and having done IT for 7 different industries, I went back to work for cancer research. Not gonna lie here: never wondering if my work is a net positive for humanity helps a lot.

Impressed! Old me would think I got to do a bunch of really cool stuff. Made RPGs, settled down, visited the Bauhaus, good friends, house plants, does not smoke anymore, live with a fucking weird cat.

Spine by @backwardsttrpg.bsky.social is currently our bestseller. I played it at night, sitting on an armchair, reading by a very dark window. Needless to say, I had to get a nice calming cup of tea before going to sleep. shop.lostpages.co.uk/products/spi...

I'm uncertain whether to make Sorcery Shenanigans into a pretty hardcover or a cheaper zine. Both have their own merit.

This is such a lovely, unerring review of SPINE. I'm going to start using it as a video overview! Matt creates such high quality videos, from reviews to APs. I'm grateful that someone who puts such care into their work is willing to spend their time on something I created. Please give it a watch!
