Saw someone carrying a squirtle on the plane from Comic-Con and I’m surprised TSA let a water type through security. #sdcc

After playing a fictional member of the Resistance a long time ago, I never could have imagined it ever happening in real life, but here we are.

This sounds like every open world game I’ve ever played. Where I spend, sometimes years because I work a lot, completing all the side quests before eventually ending the game by completing the main quest.
I want an open world game that's all side quests. A game for people with executive dysfunction looking for productive tasks to help avoid the main task they don't really feel like doing. Is that so much to ask for

Children don’t have to be missing to be trafficked. At NCMEC, we see cases where children live at home, attend school, and are trafficked by family members—a form of exploitation called familial trafficking.

On a panel today I mentioned how long I’ve been writing software. People in the audience looked shocked I could be that old… I’ll take that as a win for today.
