One of the best things that ever happened to bartending in the last decade has to have been a persons ability to call a taxi from their cell phone apps. Remember when you’d be in the weeds on a Friday night with a line that never ends, and someone would ask you to stop and make a phone call? 🚕

Hear me out. Both LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony have spoken publicly about buying into an @nba.com franchise ( @washwizards.bsky.social and Vegas expansion, respectively). Say LBJ retires and teams up with Melo to buy @trailblazers.bsky.social instead? Then later they bring in Dame too 🤷‍♂️

Once upon a time I looked so much like Layne Staley, the lead singer of Alice In Chains, that when I was working for a label and running around in Seattle I’d actually sign autographs for a laugh (I have seen my version of it on eBay 🤫). My buddy texted me this photo today & it all came back

How good is the new game @blueprincegame.bsky.social ?

It’s “I’ve never handcrafted color coded cards (with important notes on each for puzzles, affects, etc of every room) for any other game” good. Replay value is massive too. 9.5/10 #ivegonefullnerd
