I’m worried about my congressional district. Might be that together, the anti-genocide, no-superPAC, Medicaid-for-all candidates outdraw votes the nepo-baby AIPAC candidate, who goes on to actually win the primary.

Blowing an ABS challenge in the first inning during an at-bat in which you walked anyway. That’s some Red-Sox-in-May gameplay, right there.

In some industries, there is a clearer separation betwn trade shows and consumer expos, but gaming, WotC especially, seems really bad about mixing the two. You have to pitch things to drum up excitement for retailers much earlier than you have to get end-users’ attention. Gamers listen to it all.

Oops. I did that a week ago.

Why do AI image generators gravitate toward that orange, brown, and yellow color scheme?

Just need to appreciate how totally in the pocket the Johnny Costa Trio was in accompanying this film.

Imagine an anime that’s entirely chibi Ed and Al, a cartoon about a teenager whose younger brother is taller than him, but he refuses to drink milk!

When I was doing remote schooling, I read There Will Come Soft Rains with my students. Paired it with The Fun They Had by Asimov.

Oh, man, I have some theories about why this is that make real futbol fans mad. Came to this theory watching England’s Premier League and feel stronger about it having seen so much World Cup. MLS is more fun to watch precisely *because* they suck. Fewer shots on goal happen when defense is good.

Gel ink refills for Cross/Schaefer pens. Cross ones clogged on me within six weeks, long before all the ink is gone. Knockoffs from Amazon never do, and are a tenth the price.

You can all relax. The bat is back outside.

My mutant power is being able to find 4-leaf clovers. I’m pretty reliable at it, so I press them, frame them, and give them as gifts. When Joanne’s was closing, I bought a ton of frames on clearance. Haven’t found a single 4-leaf clover since. Yet another way private equity has ruined things.

In my homebrew TTRPG world, there’s a fibrous reed that grows in swamps that they use to make paper, but the fibers can also be used for rope or clothing (after the wizard school burned down and the market for paper crashed). It’s mosquito-plagued work harvesting it.

What’s for dinner?

My LGS does Mystery drafts a couple times a year, so here’s hoping that continues to be somewhat available.

I’m curious whether Loreley was already on NDA for Mystery 3 here and had to dig even deeper to post about shit that wasn’t in the set, or if this was her audition for the job (only 14 months ago, they work on sets farther out that that, right?).

MCU right from the start was a silk purse from a sow’s ear because Marvel had sold off the film rights to all of their most popular heroes, so their B- and C-list was all that had left.

Happy birthday @gamefiend.bsky.social.

Let the record show that the witness has pulled the back of counsel’s underwear all the way up over his head.
