My wonderful friend Jules worked on this game, but I would have picked it up regardless. It's so eerie and beautiful and FUN, and yet it makes room for softness and grief.
Hard recommend; can't wait to dive into what's beyond the demo tonight.

If you had a 50-gallon cauldron, what would you cook in it? What sort of parties would you throw as an excuse to haul this thing out?
By the end of the afternoon, this is how full it got. Ruth and Avi purchased *15 bushels of apples*.

Letter of recommendation: get you a friend who has a 50-gallon cauldron and spend the weekend making an UNSPEAKABLE quantity of apple butter. My old college friend Ruth invited us out to her place for an apple butter shindig, and we're already scheming about more ways to use that magnificent kettle.

I received exactly one real phone call today. Everything else has been spam. I used to enjoy getting phone calls! Now, my default assumption is that a robot or a recording is lying to me about a parking ticket in a place I've never lived.

This decision leaked in an Arts & Sciences faculty meeting yesterday afternoon, and, while I suspect it'll take a minute for the student paper to update after today's email, credit to them that they had this story up this morning. www.studlife.com/news/2025/10...

I think my big takeaway from yesterday's protests is that we should be teaching people all the lyrics to the battle hymn of the republic. Someone brought a little flute and piped little martial tunes and it was honestly wonderful

I'm forming a new heresy: universalism with one exception.
President Trump tells reporters aboard Air Force One that he doesn’t think he’s going to get into heaven.
“I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven.”
