5-7 books to something something about me? Good Lord. Um...

Okay, "A Wrinkle in Time", that's like a free space.

Thaddeus Golas, "A Lazy Man's Guide To Enlightenment".

Robinson, "A Short, Sharp Shock".

Me, "All Reality" (docs.google.com/document/d/1KH)

Ram Dass, "Be Here Now"

I don't know! Maybe Morick (ed) "Challenges to Empiricism".

Ooh how about Abbott's "Flatland"?

"Principia Discordia" of course.

Darn, that's eight already, and I haven't listed "The Wind in the Willows" yet, which should probably have been first.

And lots more!!

Greatly enjoy , and I've done a number of novels (working on the dozenth in 2022). Have also greatly enjoyed playing with .

I wanted to make a 16-page zine from a single sheet of paper, and I couldn't find an online template I liked. So, I made this tool to parse text and handle page placement. I hope folks use it to make their own! colarusso.github.io/mini-zine/

The image shows a small booklet made of folded paper, viewed from an angled top-down perspective. The booklet is open and standing upright on a wooden surface, with its pages slightly fanned out. One of the inside pages displays a printed table with text in columns and rows, though the content is only partially visible. The lighting is soft and natural, casting a warm tone over the scene. The handmade, informal appearance suggests it is a zine, pamphlet, or quick-reference guide.
The image shows a small DIY booklet titled *Law RPG Beginner’s Handbook* being stapled along the fold with a red Swingline stapler. The booklet is opened to display the back cover and inside back page, which includes a QR code labeled “Interactive Helper” and instructions for accessing online resources. The front cover features a 20-sided die illustration and the author’s name, David Colarusso. The booklet rests on a wooden surface, and the lighting is soft, creating a warm, casual crafting atmosphere. This moment captures the final step of assembling a printed zine or mini-handbook, emphasizing its homemade, accessible nature.
The image shows a close-up of a hand holding a small, homemade booklet titled *Law RPG Beginner’s Handbook* by David Colarusso. The cover features a black-and-white illustration of a 20-sided die (commonly used in tabletop role-playing games), reinforcing the theme of combining legal education with RPG mechanics. The booklet is neatly folded and stapled along the spine, with visible page edges, indicating it has been freshly assembled. The background is a wooden surface, and the overall scene conveys a DIY, educational, and playful approach to learning about law through interactive storytelling.

STREAM TIME!

Time for some Hoth Sith girl action.

No really. We're back on Hoth, by the Emperor's command.

Time to pull on the cold weather gear, hunt jedi and (inevitably) force-choke some sexist Imperial officers again.

Join me for some Star Wars: Old Republic! twitch.tv/gariusthebrit

Whether you thought it could happen in America, or not. It is!

“…from inside the FBI, an anonymous agent has publicly warned that the domestic counterterrorism strategy could switch from inquiries against the hyper violent far-right, to leftwing protest movements.”

Dear Elon Musk, protesting is not a crime. Organizing online to protest isn't a crime either, even if you don't like the protesters' goals. We oppose any efforts to mislabel peaceful protesting as illegal—protests are foundational to our democracy.

A screenshot of an elon musk tweet. Elon, in a quote tweet, says "Costa is committing crimes." He is quote tweeting KanekoaTheGreat who says "Valerie Costa, the far-left activist behind the so-called "Tesla Takedown" fueling a spree of vandalism nationwide, proudly admits her campaign draws inspiration from Luigi Mangione. She labels Elon Musk's DOGE initiative as "criminal," even though Trump won both the popular vote and presidency, specifically while championing Musk and DOGE's vision to balance the budget. Clearly, Costa has no genuine respect for democracy, elections, or the people's choice. Ironically, Costa's "TroublemakersCommunity" and "Oil & Gas Action Network" previously targeted fossil fuel companies to fight climate change. Now, in a stunning twist of hypocrisy, she's attacking Tesla—the very company that's arguably done more than any other to combat climate change. Did she ever honestly care about climate change, or was she always just virtue-signaling the DNC's latest talking points? Digging deeper reveals Costa’s career specialty: advising left-wing NGOs and nonprofits on fundraising and securing government-funded grants. Precisely the kind of waste and abuse that Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency are courageously battling to eliminate." It includes a video. The link to the tweet is https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1898803819535819146
