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

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!

She loved her surgery cone for the first couple days (it made her feel powerful and intimidating) so we got her a courted ruff to look sinister in.

I don't know what level of Gen Con denial YOU'RE in, but I've reached look-at-this-cute-seaside-resort-I-made-for-my-Pokémon-in-Pokopia-instead-of-packing level.
