@taskmaster.tv @alexhorne.bsky.social @gregdaviescomedian.bsky.social your Washington DC show sold out before the presale code was even sent, and they’re now up on scalper resale sites like StubHub for exorbitant prices. This is just an FYI that anyone attending this show was swindled.
You know what’s a great insult? Subpar. Like yeah, this is Subpar Tim. It tells you everything you need to know about Tim. Thanks Homer (and ‘not the best fighter Paris’, which is also a great insult)
Not to be a pedant @nytimes.com games, but one of blue for today’s connections is an inanimate object unlike the others that are living beings
Wide leg pants are the enemy of wide hips and a good butt. I have not done 50 bagillion squats etcs to be swallowed in denim. No one can convince me otherwise. Now flared jeans at the right inseam however, I can abide.
Don’t ever get stung by a scorpion. SLUDGE syndrome is disgusting which “is every possible fluid pouring out of every possible orifice in your body.” It’s also, on some level, hilarious.*
*I was not stung by a scorpion. I just read something about scorpions.
Yeah this. Take the extra seconds to care about someone else
Honestly, I brought this upon myself
If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.
🤯 so good

Now that the baby goes longer stretches between meals, I can get back into running/playing games! I played a 4hr Adventurer’s League sesh last week! It’s only been since November but hot damn did I miss my click-clack math rocks and playing pretend with my friends and occasionally strangers.
Oh no… lol Columbo
My ride is here.
All of my 8 week old baby’s favorite songs were played during the halftime show. I am not joking. He had a good lil nap before his night meal.
Matt gaetz: The halftime show you just watched is clearly the regime’s response to Trump’s historic gains with black men. Jason: hey Matt, I hear you like 'em young

Ok, it looks like it’s only the D&D Young Adventurer’s guides that are available in braille. The core set, Tasha’s, and Xanathar’s are only available in accessible audio. There was a modified Player’s Handbook in braille but I think that was only for an in person event at the Library unfortunately.
If you’re in the US, I believe the National Library Service has the core D&D books and Tasha’s available in braille. I know for a fact they have them in accessible audio. I will check and report back.
@raskin.house.gov @chrisvanhollen.bsky.social can you maybe not do this. It surely didn’t work in 2024, what makes him think it will work now 🙄

The right thing to do is to put out a statement saying that Democrats will consider this to be insurrection against the US government and Constitution, and that those who take seriously their oath have 1 week to arrest and detain Musk or be considered offering him aid and comfort.
Jeff Stein & @JStein WaPo A federal worker sent me audio of a call that HR did today with staff about "deferred resignation" agreements offered by DOGE ... I think this is pretty well understood by now but helps confirm what many suspect The audio goes: Employee: Lets say I accept the agreement tomorrow - you were to rescind the agreement and they were to stop paying me on Friday ... we would have no recourse available? HR official: Yes... as the agreement is outlined that is absolutely correct 11:40 AM • 2/5/25 • 168K Views
If you work for the federal government and are tempted to take Musk’s “buyout” offer please know that you’re never going to see that money.
"He is trying to substitute perception for reality. He is hoping that perception then becomes reality. That can only happen if we believe him."
A very good read.
It’s a short story but still. Very proud of it.
Authors if you see this, it’s a sign to post the first line of your book.
“You’ll never forget the first time you hear a dying rabbit scream in the dark.”
Active sleep in babies is truly bizarre. My beebs is just in his bassinet making raptor noises and hyena laughs and farting and apparently that’s normal.
Jon and I were watching Pop Culture Jeopardy last night when he got up to work on MAGfest prep:
Me: Do you want me to pause it?
Jon: No, that’s okay. You can finish it.
Me: …but I like when you see how smart I am
Hey, at least I can admit it lol
Collectible scalpers are the fucking worst garbage humans. You’re not a collector is you immediately flip it. Fuck them. Sometimes I don’t respect the hustle.
You ever on the pot and look over at your bathroom spider and say, “don’t go getting too big because if you do I’ll have to put you outside and you’ve got some cushy digs here. I see some lil buggies in your web, just sayin’” or is that just me?
