Started rewatching Leverage as my "chill, wind-down before bed" show. Seeing evil rich people face some consequences is the fantasy I need right now.

Every few months like clockwork, these eugenicist, child abusing nazis show up getting glamorous glow up profiles in national media. Insane how astroturfed this stuff is.

Doing a quiet Christmas because family is complicated -- play some Diablo, watch movies -- but I am baking biscuits to go with my husband's sausage gravy, playing my favorite Christmas album, and there is eggnog in my coffee. Festive enough. 🎄

Here is some advice for aspiring game writers.
Do not come into games wanting to be a game writer with the attitude that all you are going to write are the cinematics.

I would watch another 100 seasons of Somebody Somewhere. But if it has to end, that was a good ending.

I know many do, but EVERY elected Democrat should be doing this. Every local Democratic Party office should be doing this.
Happy Thanksgiving week, everyone. We’ve been spending the last few days addressing food insecurity across NYC.
Shout out to our supporters, small-dollar contributors, and volunteers who make all this happen and help us support similar efforts across the country.
I am really grateful. ♥️ Thank you

I am deep into Veilguard and was very happy with my run so far. Then I watched my husband play for a bit and someone tell me not to reroll as a warrior. That kicking looks hella fun.

A friend convinced me to watch Hundreds of Beavers. So Good. Elements of Chaplin and Keaton, Looney Toons, noobs in survival games, and YouTube videos made for the lol. Bizarre, creative, and delightful.

Trying to bake through the madness, so I picked a recipe I hadn't made from my old BH&G cookbook.
Now I have half a tray of dough rolled in chopped walnuts, and the power just went out.

A very distracted but still tasty loaf from Johnny Silverdough, the sourdough starter.
Maybe I left the first bulk ferment on the counter too long, or not enough stretch and folds?

I'm in rapid detox -- I'm done with the outrage bait. Not giving it any more of my time or attention.
Also moving away from MSM, as much as it pains me as a former journalist. Looking for more sources doing the kind of reporting we need -- recommendations are appreciated!

one thing I'd like very much for this platform over the next four years is if we could maintain this healthy habit of not sharing every stupid bit of outrage engagement bait farted out by contrarian right wing engagement trolls and irrelevant white supremacists
