Have not heard of this one before! It started as an RPG based on William Burroughs; I don't know Burroughs so I don't know how strong the connection is. It's filled with conspiracies and weirdness, and it's awesome. It's also one of the indie ur-games (like Fudge and Amber Diceless) that's had a hu...

I particularly like the Quix rabbit ears. When she was about 12-13, my sister got a Quik bunny spoon--she loves chocolate milk. When my friend Ringo used to come to the house (years later), he would go straight to the silverware drawer, get the spoon, make himself chocolate milk. I got him a bunny ...

Thanks to Mike for helping me figure out how to post the picture.

I agree that it's a problematic list. Also, who is #97? Joe Strummer? If so, why does "Strummer" need to censored? Is there a Joe Fucker that I don't know about? And of course, as is always the case with Rolling Stone, the list massively overrepresents that 60s and 70s. I think the people ...

On Saturday I started an Over the Edge game (using Fate Core for system) with some friends, and it went really well. I love how Fate encourages players to be proactive. And the players got really into the weirdness of the setting. I hope we can sustain this campaign. OtE is one of my favorite settin...

if that fails, then we have an election very likely to be unfair, and of course casting doubt on the fairness of the election is damaging all by itself. If Trump loses in 2020 I fully expect him to refuse to accept the results. And GOP in Congress will try to prevent the Congress from certifying th...

Re: the above, Akiva, have you looked into the possibility of teaching, like, 6-9 year olds? I feel like those are some peak years, as the child seeks and then develops the capacity for reasoning, before totally and apparently willfully abandoning it at least some of the time. If I were going to te...

I *hate* daily affirmation type things.

Not a good day.

Heyyyy Frank Turner is sounding pretty good there, I am jealous you get to see this live! Report back!!! Offered without comment. You and me both. I can't quite say I went down into the Bottom of the pit of despair today, but I definitely took a hop through it and a good look around, and that was a...

Offered without comment.

First fight of the year in my room.

I heard Elton John's Tiny Dancer on the radio the other day, and now I just keep wanting to sing the lyrics as "Hold me closer, Tony Danza!" All thanks to reading about that being one of the most mis-heard song lyrics. The most amazing thing is that the song predicted Danza would be a sta...

Going to see him tonight.

That sounds like a hell of a fun week. And I agree about the middle class: my wife and I both work, and do pretty well, but we live in a smaller house, and in a crappier neighborhood, than the one I grew up in, and only my father worked.

Bourbon isn't working; maybe music will?

I've posted this one before; oh well.

When I'm locked in my room
I just want to scream
Now I know what they mean
Only the strong

Alec Mackaye has a new band! And it includes Mary Timony!
