I'm a storyteller in both my personal and my professional lives. Expect weird musings and cute cat pictures.

If you post about sensitive subjects (especially politics and sex) without a CW, I won’t follow or boost you. If you don’t, but you boost people who do, I may follow you but will hide your boosts. If you post images without descriptions, I won’t boost you.

This photo does not at all do justice to what the sun in #nyc looks like right now, but it was the best my camera could do.

So let me tell you about “Baby Sharking”. In #NYC, it is considered stunningly rude to play sound on your phone while you’re on a bus or subway. But sadly a few people do it anyway, and it’s also considered rude to confront them. So I have found a solution. When someone is making phone noise (almost always scrolling TikTok) on the bus or subway, I stand next to them and blast “Baby Shark” on my phone. They can’t say anything, because they can’t very well say that I’m being any ruder than they are being. So 90% of the time they turn off the TikTok, put on headphones or leave. And then I immediately stop of course. I encourage other New Yorkers to do this.

I’ve been rewatching “The Critic”, many years since it aired, and I understand now why it failed. Imagine the pitch: “It’s a bit like The Simpsons, except that it’s targeted to people who live in NYC and LA and think they’re smarter and more sophisticated than people in the rest of the US.”

I mean, yes, that’s me, absolutely, but you can’t build a network show on that audience.

Me, to my wife: I’m chopping up some cilantro, because fresh cilantro makes everything better. Except birthday cake.

*pause*

And even then I’d try it.

Apple Music, in its latest version, has added the ability to generate a playlist based on a prompt. Their suggestions were simple things like “songs to drink coffee to”, but I decided to have more fun than that as I tried it out.

“We’re in the library of an English country house in the Jazz Age. A butler is handing out drinks, and a gramophone is playing.” produced a set of upbeat 1930s jazz.

“I’m a 19 year-old skateboarder in Southern California in the 1990s, and I’m blasting music as I pull off sick moves.” produced a list of era-appropriate alternative and punk. I would have added some SoCal-specific stuff, especially West Coast hip-hop, but it’s pretty good.

Hey, friends who play D&D, question for you: Has anyone developed a system that can adapt existing D&D settings and characters with radically simplified rules?

I've been DMing for a quarter century now, and I'm getting increasingly exhausted by the complexity of the rules and the time I have to devote to them. I'm increasingly drawn to games like Dread with very simple rules. But my current campaign has been going for well over a decade, so my players have a lot invested in their characters--spells, gear, all of that--that I don't want to take away for them. Also I'm not done with the story yet so I don't want to just end the game.

Some kind of "instead of this, do that" rules document would be brilliant, if it exists.

Boosts welcome.

Aww, "Zits" (the comic strip) is ending! Sad to see it. I enjoyed it when I was close to Jeremy's age, and I still enjoyed it when I was close to his parents' age. But newspaper comic strips are a dying business just in general, with reruns sticking around because they're cheaper than paying for new material. At least Scott Adams is gone, I guess?

(That's uncharitable of me. I actually really enjoyed "Dilbert" for a while. But he went off the deep end with his beliefs, and the more they bled into the comics the less enjoyable the comics were, and I had to stop reading.)

@techsinger@tweesecake.social @Tamasg@mindly.social That is a legit point. I think there are a lot of people (I’ll humbly put myself in that group) who like being asked for that kind of one-on-one help but I will agree that it’s not everybody. I wish it could be.

@techsinger@tweesecake.social @Tamasg@mindly.social As a person, I don’t agree with you. I do a lot of volunteer work (more since the most recent US election), and the reason that I do it it entirely selfish: it’s because it feels good to help people, and I like doing things that make me feel good. I’d like to think that most people feel the same way.

Hah, posting this makes me realize exactly why I get frustrated when volunteer opportunities aren’t available. I volunteer via New York Cares, which lists opportunities on their website when they become available, and I get frustrated when there isn’t anything there I can do. I should be happy about that—that means everyone who asked for help got it—but I’m frustrated because I was denied that opportunity to be the helper.

@lykso@tiny.tilde.website I can only speak for myself but I genuinely do, unless it’s someone who I know I can’t trust. And without deanonymizing myself I think that most people in that particular room do too. (It’s a very supportive community that I belong to.)

I went to a talk lately that was mostly about something else, but the speaker came out with:

“If you only remember one thing from this talk, remember this. Everyone in this room who likes helping people, raise your hand.”

Every hand, or nearly every hand, went up.

“If you like asking other people for help, keep your hand up.”

Almost every hand went back down.

“As you can see, people like helping you. When you ask for help, you’re making them feel good, even if you don’t like asking.”

I’ve genuinely forgotten the rest of the presentation but I won’t forget that.

In the icebox system, the plums are desired by two separate but equally important people: The host, who put the plums in the icebox, and William Carlos Williams, who ate them.

These are their stories.
