Daaaamn. “AI is the asbestos we're shovelling into the walls of our technological society. Our descendants will spend generations digging it out again, and the longer the bubble goes on without popping, the longer it will take to repair the damage." www.thenerve.news/p/cory-docto...

Cory Doctorow: The people who tell you ‘AI is changing everything’ are lying

It has become impossible to tell managers mesmerised by artificial intelligence that the tools are not, in fact, helpful. So employees just play along with the fiction to keep their jobs, writes our t...

Ironic that this came across my feed today, because I'm getting ready to write about them for _Losing Sanity_ Chapter 4 ("The Shadow Beyond Innsmouth") as part of the Call of Cthulhu fandom that erupted in the 1980s.

I've got a new story up on Rascal. It's one of those stories that is a real gift. It's just so charming and fun. Don't worry about what it is about. Just read it! You will not regret it! www.rascal.news/larping-cthu...

A Yard House beer in a glass of obnoxiousness is a Gen Con tradition. Ryan (pictured with baby glass) and I met online through a shared love of board games & magic (thanks to Caleb Wiles for converting him to cardboard). We got to meet in person at Gen Con and played a mess of games. Size Wise is 😍😍

Oh no... get well soon.💚 And always remember, your health comes first, even if it’s hard.😘 I have to keep telling myself that about the podcast too... (I’m not just saying that because I keep missing the deadline for my interview...😉)

I am looking for someone with access to any of CRYPT OF CTHULHU #42, 45, 47. There's a column by Carl T. Ford in each called "The Keeper at the Crypt" that I'd like to get copies of. Scans are great, but tight, readable images of the pages with cameras are just fine. (I just need the info.)

I've said it before, but Fred Hick's art direction is amazing, as are the artists that he works with (here: Lorne Colt). Ditto @crislv.bsky.social 's graphic design on these volumes. Last I heard, these should be out in September.

Our printer is kitting up all four volumes of Designers & Dragons Origins into their slipcases! Still time to get this massive trove of D&D history by @shannonappelcline.bsky.social and have it ship out with the crowdfunding fulfillment: designers-dragons-origins.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

I used to say I don't read as many books as I used to... and then I thought about all those (rule)books I've read - and with that in mind, I've been a AVID reader for the last couple decades. Also, I like this book club - let's join:

New comic! Next time someone asks why you're -always- playing board games, just tell them you're in a book club. Technically, you're not lying. 😄 How do you usually learn a new game? 📖 Read the rulebook, 📺 watch @watchitplayed.bsky.social, or 👥 learn while playing? #boardgames

Rachel says, "I've started a book club!" Another person replies, "You? Do you even know how a book club works?" Rachel, holding Apollo, explains, "Yes, you read the book beforehand and get together to talk about its contents..." In the next panel, Rachel sits around a table with two friends, and Heinze with Starbuck on his lap, and a board game. Holding the game's rulebook, she finishes, "...and then, we play the game! Welcome to the Rulebook Club!" In the final panel, one friend admits, "I didn't read the book..." Heinze smiles and reassures him, "Don't worry. I've Rodney'd this one as well."

A federal judge just ordered all of the Epstein files to be turned over to him and DOJ must defend each redaction. This is solely because of Katie Phang’s lawsuit. Yay independent journalism! 👏
