Words cannot express how much I DO NOT fuck with light=good/dark=evil dichotomy. Fuck that shit.

Congrats!!!!

It's always time for this anti-fascist moment from Casablanca.

Can anyone point me to a resource on how sign "Long COVID" in American Sign Language? I've seen various ways from spelling it out, to using the sign for "Coronavirus" or "COVID-19" followed by "Long" or "Stay". I'm curious if there is any official guidance/recommendations. Many thanks 🙏

Oh, absolutely. Some of that episode is a wide-eyed emoji.

But also, dueling soliloquies.

ER giveth and ER taketh away.

Oh, those types of House episodes are the BEST House episodes.

ER has some great ones, too. Secrets and Lies comes to mind immediately.

I actually saw a whole article with the contestants about how much more cosmetic prep they have to do now (Botox, filler, lash tinting, laser hair removal, etc.) before filming than they did on their original seasons in part due to fan reactions to their appearance.

These are extremely cool.

What’s filler to you might be exemplary world-building or moving character development to me. Many of the most engaging TV episodes of the past few decades are, by some definitions, mere “filler.” One working definition of filler could be: “This episode didn’t supply the things I personally like.”

Optical illusion of a woman bent over some papers. Her sunglasses are pushed up and she is wearing a hair band so the top of her head looks exactly like a Muppet face

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

This is a beautiful video. Thank you.

The Todd could be an interesting choice, honestly, if he had some storyline of a life-changing turn in the intermediate years. Charismatic but also acting in self-interest…

Or maybe Turk’s female rival from the later seasons?

WOO!!! Congrats!!!

Famous Brady Bunch house awarded Los Angeles landmark status Modest mid-century home in Studio City, used for sitcom’s exterior shots, designated a historic-cultural monument

A little bit of good news, to break up the horrors.

We've driven over to this house a few times when we've had friends in for a visit, and it just never gets old. I'm glad it's being protected and preserved for future generations.

100%. (Or about people who play systems they dislike.)

If folks haven’t yet watched the Oscar-nominated documentary “The Alabama Solution,” it delves quite a bit into this, as well. It’s a deeply harrowing, moving film that I can’t recommend highly enough.

Bonus fact: Years later, I helped edit the Best Director package for one of them when I was working on the Oscars and he was nominated.

Three Oscar-winning directors and a movie star once toasted to me with the bottle of wine I bought them.

I was waiting tables at the time and couldn’t afford it, but they all made such incredible art and I knew I’d likely never have the opportunity to thank them directly again. 100% worth it.

SO COOL THAT YOU WORKED ON THIS!!!

This is a really, really great interview by Shawn and Teos, which includes Brian talking about why genAI is not part of DDB’s roadmap, and why paper-and-pen gameplay remains essential.

Submissions close Sunday! Get your games in for this trans rights bundle! <3

So cool!!! Congratulations!!!

I chat about LBF all the time, and I'm REALLY happy to see it's getting a print edition!!

If you want a D&D feel but more tailored towards kids, go check it out ASAP!!

Colleges See Spike in Students With Disabilities, Including Elite Schools

They are clearly trying to whip up a moral panic about disability accommodations but this article doesn't include any data on accommodations.

“In the last year, it’s gotten a lot worse” A Qualitative Investigation of Barriers to Disability Benefits in 2025 - DREDF This report is based on interviews with 52 benefits professionals serving over 8,000 disability claimants nationwide. The independent research finds that recent Social Security Administration administ...

In this new report, @ksavin.bsky.social, and @calliefreitag.bsky.social and I explain how Trump 2.0 and DOGE built up new barriers to the already-difficult process of getting disability benefits.

Let's talk about what we found, and what we recommend to address the issues. 🧵

A banner that says Little but Fierce: Streamlined 5th Edition for Children of All Ages. There’s a preview of the physical book cover and artwork. There’s a quote from Sarah Johnson, Education Consultant that says: “In a sea of electronic alternatives, Little but Fierce stands as an exciting and fun competitor that will delight geeky parents and their children alike.” There are also four photos of the creative team: DC Bradshaw, Catarina Eusébio, Sebastian Yūe and Jennifer Kretchmer.

ARE YOU LITTLE BUT FIERCE?

Little but Fierce, the streamlined adaptation of 5th Edition for kids, is now live on Kickstarter!
