In the last, guttering hours of the year, it’s tradition to look back on the last 12 months’ #TTRPG activity and reflect. You can read last year’s summary at dice.camp/@davej/1137476646998

A pie chart, showing the breakdown of games I played in 2025 by percentage of total hours:

Call of Cthulhu 7e: 16.5%
Old School Essentials: 12.7%
Traveller: 12.5%
Dungeon Crawl Classics: 12.1%
Shadowdark: 6.2%
The One Ring: 6.1%
Dungeons & Dragons 5e: 3.8%
Monster of the Week: 3.7%
Pendrqgon: 3.7%
Dolmenwood 3.5%
Realms of Peril: 2.9%
23 others: 16.4%
A column chart showing how many hours I played TTRPGs in each of the last several years (rounded to the nearest half-hour):

2020: 271 hours
2021: 540.5 hours
2022: 946.5 hours
2023: 578 hours
2024: 559.5 hours
2025: 742 hours
A column graph showing the number of new and previously played TTRPG systems I played in each of the last several years:

2020: 14 new systems / 5 previously played
2021: 24 new systems / 11 previously played
2022: 41 new systems / 20 previously played
2023: 31 new systems / 17 previously played
2024: 14 new systems / 15 previously played

psi: Plant Photosystem I excitation energy transfer network (2020)
Weighted directed network of the light-harvesting Photosystem Ι (PSI) of the plant Pisum sativum. The nodes represent chromophores with different identities (i.e. chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, β-carotene and derivates, lutein, violaxanthin), while edges represent FRET transfer between chromophores. The link directionality connecting nodes in the PSI network depends on the energy levels of the connected chromophores. The…

When the FBI executed a warrant on Wednesday
to seize records from the 2020 presidential vote in Fulton County, Georgia,
it marked both an extraordinary event in the history of American elections
and a significant escalation in Donald Trump’s breaking of democratic norms, several legal experts said.
Trump has long claimed, without evidence, that the 2020 election was stolen from him
and blamed Georgia, in particular,
for his loss to Joe Biden.

When DHS, USCIS, and DOGE announced the overhaul of the SAVE program,
they explicitly linked the effort to a campaign to combat the “taint” of noncitizen voter fraud,
a long-standing claim tied to the lie that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.
By all appearances, the administration is poised to use the SAVE program to prop up these false claims,

Approximate Cartesian Tree Matching with Substitutions
Panagiotis Charalampopoulos, Jonas Ellert, Manal Mohamed
arxiv.org/abs/2602.08570 arxiv.org/pdf/2602.08570 arxiv.org/html/2602.08570
arXiv:2602.08570v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: The Cartesian tree of a sequence captures the relative order of the sequence's elements. In recent years, Cartesian tree matching has attracted considerable attention, particularly due to its applications in time series analysis. Consider a text $T$ of length $n$ and a pattern $P$ of length $m$. In the exact Cartesian tree matching problem, the task is to find all length-$m$ fragments of $T$ whose Cartesian tree coincides with the Cartesian tree $CT(P)$ of the pattern. Although the exact version of the problem can be solved in linear time [Park et al., TCS 2020], it remains rather restrictive; for example, it is not robust to outliers in the pattern.
To overcome this limitation, we consider the approximate setting, where the goal is to identify all fragments of $T$ that are close to some string whose Cartesian tree matches $CT(P)$. In this work, we quantify closeness via the widely used Hamming distance metric. For a given integer parameter $k>0$, we present an algorithm that computes all fragments of $T$ that are at Hamming distance at most $k$ from a string whose Cartesian tree matches $CT(P)$. Our algorithm runs in time $\mathcal O(n \sqrt{m} \cdot k^{2.5})$ for $k \leq m^{1/5}$ and in time $\mathcal O(nk^5)$ for $k \geq m^{1/5}$, thereby improving upon the state-of-the-art $\mathcal O(nmk)$-time algorithm of Kim and Han [TCS 2025] in the regime $k = o(m^{1/4})$.
On the way to our solution, we develop a toolbox of independent interest. First, we introduce a new notion of periodicity in Cartesian trees. Then, we lift multiple well-known combinatorial and algorithmic results for string matching and periodicity in strings to Cartesian tree matching and periodicity in Cartesian trees.

The FBI raided an elections office in Georgia
and seized ballots from the 2020 presidential election
in connection with a federal investigation into
“deficiencies or defects” into Donald Trump’s loss in the state, according to newly unsealed documents.
An affidavit for the search signed by a judge last month reveals that
the investigation followed a referral from Trump’s former campaign-linked attorney

NASA’s #Arcstone instrument, designed to improve the accuracy of lunar calibration, successfully completed its technology demonstration, and now begins extended operations: nasa.gov/blogs/smallsatellites - Arcstone launched on June 23 on a SpaceX Transporter-14 from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California, on a six-month mission to measure light reflected by the Moon, which is a stable and potentially highly-accurate calibration source, for satellite sensors

An F.B.I. search warrant affidavit unsealed on Tuesday shows that
a criminal investigation into 2020 election results in Fulton County, Ga.,

and relied heavily on claims about ballots that have been widely debunked.
The unsealing of the affidavit in Fulton County is likely to raise more questions
about the Trump administration’s use of the F.B.I. and Justice Department to revive old, largely di…

The Trump administration began what could be a contentious process
to rework the trade deal that governs North American business this week,
as it began hearings about the
U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement that Trump signed into law in 2020 during his first term.
Farmers, academics, trade groups and others assembled in a government building south of the National Mall on Wednesday
for the first of three days of hearings
to share their assessment of the deal.

By any measure, the F.B.I.’s search of an election center in Fulton County, Ga., last week was extraordinary.
Agents seized truckloads of 2020 ballots, as Trump harnessed the levers of government to not only buttress his false claims of widespread voter fraud,
but also to try to build a criminal case against those he believes wronged him.
What happened the next day was in some ways even more unusual, The New York Times has learned.
