Didn’t take my ADHD meds this morning, and I just realized I excitedly pointed out every squirrel I saw today.

…huh.

As a physicist, I'm excited that micro nuclear reactor technology is actively in the R&D stage again. There's an enormous amount of promise in emissions-free tech that produces community sized levels of power output with minimal maintenance.

As a Fallout fan, I'm *very* excited.

Sam Altman is back in as CEO of OpenAI. But how do we know it’s the real Sam Altman, and not an artificial intelligence?

Thanksgiving is such an odd holiday.

It’s celebrating one time some settlers threw a rager and the local tribe showed up with even more food and they drank liquor, shot things, and ate too much for several days. They partied so hard they got along for like 50 years.

It’s very on point for the USA

I’m a simple man, really. All I want out of life is invulnerability and super strong stretchy arms that can snap full sized trees like twigs.

I need more people I care about to post things.

I should post things too, so more people have things to read.

But every post is going out to everyone on the platform so if it’s not worth reading I’ve wasted time and failed everyone.

Anyway the medicine that could increase my anxiety might be.

When asked how he was doing, my six year old son said "My body is still responding to the stress, but there are no more tears."

I feel that, little guy. I feel that.

I was just sitting here idly thinking how awesome it would be to meet the queen of England, then I remembered there probably won't be another in my lifetime.

Wonder how long it'll be before I get used to saying king.

I don't have high hopes--I started witing the year with a 19 the other day.

Any input, non-Statesian types? What's the cost of cereal outside the Eagles Nest?

Domain name usernames are so much better than checkmarks.

Like, I saw Randall Munroe is here. "Is it the real one or a fake? Oh wait, the username is @xkcd.com we're good." And that's all I had to do.

They're fun too, like *.speedrun.rip, but the self verification built in is clever.

Dungeons and Dragons (or a similar tabletop RPG) is just an excuse to hang out with friends and make silly jokes.

The DM's job is to provide just enough actual gameplay to make players feel obligated to come to sessions, so everyone gets to hang out together.

I'm really enjoying the username system here. Thanks to @40wattrange.speedrun.rip for making it possible to advertise how little I speedrun these days. 👍

You know, it's kind of pleasant when my reaction to a celebrity death is "Huh, they're not already dead? Well, good deal they made it that long."

To steal from whoever said it first, "I cannot believe Bob Barker lived as close to 100 as possible without going over."

I really love what I'm seeing on www.twitch.tv/nes_fest It's folks I care about and it captures the feel of hanging out with friends who are just playin' games.

Elly De La Cruz can hit well, run well, and plays great defense.

He can also sap the baseball-playing ability of his competition by touching them.

Fear him.

I need okay television to watch. Great television is too overwhelming right now and I want to be entertained without feeling like I have to drink in every part of a masterpiece.
