While I'm still traveling, another highlight of the weekend was @yesnogoodbye.ca telling me they read my work and I glitched out because I respect the hell out of them

The big announcements from GenCon 2026 [with sparkling analysis] www.rascal.news/the-big-anno...

Idk man I think a worker owned collective of journalists who aren't afraid to report complicated situations of harm in our industry is really good and I'd like to see it continue and hopefully one day expand. I'd love for said journalists to be able to earn a livable wage while doing it too. 💙

2nd Actual Play Review [almost finished] written for YouTube! This one was interesting because I completely forgot it was an Actual Play using an RPG system for its storie[s]. Also, this new thing of listening/watching APs for review is actually making me pay attention to everything constantly.🧵

Angry thread🫶🏻 I am so fucking sick of hearing about generative ai. I'm sick of people's cowardly centrism towards it, I'm sick of it being pushed onto me by my educators, I'm sick of people who tell me we should learn to accept it, who are telling me it's efficient.

I am unbelievably touched that @dropout.tv titled my @dimension20.dropout.tv Adventuring Academy episode “A Duty of Care”

I’m overwhelmed today, but I want to circle back in a while to share the links to everyone & everything I cited. More soon.

The thing abt Hank Green using AI is not only that it marrs his credibility forever, but it has now cast a large, looming shadow of doubt over all my favourite video essayists and their own usage of AI in their research and even writing process.

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

Read now @neiltheghost.bsky.social designed our initial ad and logo 1 which was mostly real, physical things laid out on his desk! preview.mailerlite.io/emails/webvi...
