I've been at a cabin in the mountains with a hot tub since Friday, playing D&D with good friends and paying literally zero attention to the outside world.
I would like to go back.

If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

People who table at cons: Please hit me with your best, non-obvious advice? Like:
* do you get more business in jeans and a comics tee or in more business casual?
* is it better if you're Doing Something or Smiling Aggressively?
* better to label books with prices or make people ask?
I am baby.

We were Session 0 worldbuilding yesterday, and my Canadian DM said "ferry crossing" and it sounded like "fairy crossing" and that both delighted and confused me.
Do you pronounce "ferry" and "fairy" the same or different?

Listen. LISTEN. As someone who usually plays non-magic martial classes, it also always seems like "rule of cool" is for "hey can I use this really powerful spell in a way it's not intended but which makes it even more powerful," which, like, YOU ALREADY HAVE MAGIC, GIVE THE REST OF US A BREAK.

I hope future generations recognize how quickly and strangely the contours of what counts as a political scandal changed for this president.
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?
TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is
O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.
TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

Last night I went to the Puca Festival in Trim, Ireland.
It's all fun and games until someone unleashes a giant demonic hare.

For everyone asking, I got it at the Seven Suns Archery Booth at the Georgia Renaissance Festival, but it looks like they partner with other people for their leather goods. A friend got one at DragonCon from Ravenswood Leather and it seems to be the same one!

I think I'm going to decorate for Christmas early this year. I didn't get the time to put up Halloween stuff, and I could use a little cheer around here.
(Usually I wait until at least Black Friday.)
