Since Wesley So resigned this position, I've been wondering why in the world he would resign as white and asking if I just don't know how to play at all. It appears to me white is the only side that can win. (Apparently, technically it's a draw.)

I just learned Wesley was playing black!

Somehow, in 90 seconds, I can play a 24 moves game with almost perfect accuracy.

Give me 90 minutes, and it feels like I can't play at all.

#Chess is cruel!

Ant is 0 for 8 but somehow has the best +/- for the Wolves. He's doing something right...

Go Nuggets!

IMHO Democrats and liberal social media are messaging SignalGate the wrong way.

We don't trust the Defense and Intelligence staff, but the other side does, so they say "it's no big deal."

But in the messages, they are insubordinate to TFG. And that's something their supporters hate. Focus on that.

I love it when I'm a day ahead of NPR on our impending constitutional crisis, including the quote below. www.npr.org/2025/02/12/n...

I thought we probably had an extra hour of daylight compared to the solstice, so I asked Google.

Apparently, it's not so good at this query...

The NBA Western Conference is crazy.

In the West, a team with a .500 record probably won't make it, but they'd be fighting for a #6 seed in the East.

In the East, Philadelphia, at 19-29, is still absolutely able to make the play-in tournament.

We have a new feline family member. My partner claims he's Italian like she is, so she's named him Antonio Romeo Alletto.

Yes, we have 3 #cats now, and we know we're crazy already.

Wow! Congratulations to #Gukesh, the youngest ever World #Chess Champion!

He put just enough pressure on #Ding to invite a blunder.

Black to play and win after 55. Rf2??

I didn't have to see the #nuggets game last night. All I need is the box score and this Bertrand Russell quote:

“The mark of a civilized man is the capacity to read a column of numbers and weep.”

Since the Internet was invented for cat pics, here's one my partner took of Sylvie today.

We'll need all the cat pics we can get in the coming months, so I'll appreciate any replies in kind.

Voted! All blue for both of us.

Washington Post subscription: canceled. What's the point of being a billionaire if you're afraid to stand up to a fascist?

If the Dems lose the presidency, I'll firmly believe it's due to the fundraising emails. They have the Biden vibe of dire warnings instead of the Harris joy vibes.

The emails may raise more money, but they put me in a state of despair where it feels nothing will be good enough to win.

The sticky notes appearing in women's bathrooms reminding women the voting booth is private and they can vote for women's rights without anyone knowing is...brilliant!

If white women especially go for Harris at a higher than polled rate, it will be a blowout.

My first @scalzi.com book. Lots of stuff happening, and cats are in the middle of all of it. I love it.
