I’ll be at @laworldcon.bsky.social at the end of August; here’s where you can catch me, including a live performance of my nerdy game show Inconceivable!
🚨 A new episode of Adventuring Academy is out now on Dropout! Join Brennan Lee Mulligan and Dr. Emily Friedman as they talk TTRPG history, game systems, and beaver nuggets!
Donald Trump's departure from the political scene will come. The most important question is: then what?
If you, like me, just had a bunch of rain and your AQI didn’t go down as much as you maybe thought it would: AQI isn’t just particles, it is also a few gases. Rain is really good at removing particles, gases less so. Also if your rain came with lightning, it could’ve made more of the gases!
Turned in copy edits on my latest book this week so I should probably remind people I have a book coming out later this year. It’s called ETERNITY’S TOMB and it answers the question we’ve all asked ourselves: what if we were robbing a space tomb heading for a black hole?! dmoren.com/writing/eter...
I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.
This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious. Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal.

The GOP campaign this fall will depend entirely on misremembering recent history.
Aaron RuparSCALISE: We've delivered. Remember that 2 years ago, we were paying almost $6 a gallon. Right now it's in the $3s KERNEN: When were we paying $6? SCALISE: 2.5 years ago K: That's not right S: We are lowering inflation K: We're actually above where we were then. 2 years ago the average was $3.65
I was just contacted by a reporter asking for comment about the whole Pluto planet thing. Hanging on by a thread over here.

NYSED is very, very limited when it come to curriculum and pedagogy but can wield a very sharp and heavy stick when it comes to students and school boards. And going around Commish Rosa to appeal to Trump was incredibly dumb politicking.
