Voting for the Mayor Who Promised to Blow Up the City Doesn’t Mean I Approve of the Mayor Blowing Up the City
It’s so easy to label people these days. From the way folks have been talking, you’d think everyone falls into two buckets: those who voted against...

When at a new Indian place that does mild medium hot instead of stars plus “traditional levels” I always go mild. I’m a 2 star or child traditional which is around medium but not knowing the place I’m always cautious

I’ve been living in a nervous panic for a couple weeks (or more) bc I ran into an issue with refilling my emergency meds for adrenal insufficiency. Having had an adrenal crisis 100 yards from an emergency room before I knew what they were, the ER treated me solely for dehydration too btw,

Air Force no longer teaching about WASPS and Tuskegee to comply should outrage any of these people that “love the military” more than any made up issue they actually are outraged about but nah.

I started watching the PL at the turn of the millennium and so Man U vs Arsenal matchups always felt like a bigger rivalry. Glory Glory and the Reds go marching on, whew.

First tournament of the year (2 bullets) in a PKO took 2d for 19x the cost of the 2 bullets. Making my 2025 ROI 3830! (lol). The first bullet was a blunder because my hud was covering cards and their bb and so on the middle of a hand I tried adjusting it and instead of calling a flop bet I shoved.

Finding out one of my health issues may be related to something I had to file for help by August of this year was a kick in the teeth I didn’t need today…but I guess having all the crap happen this year means 2025 can start off clean as arbitrary as that cutoff is.

@jenshahade.bsky.social hi, I have a friend’s daughter who is turning 8 and says she wants to get into chess. Is there a book you would recommend to keep her excited about the game?

Going to be teaching hold ‘em at a friends saloon cigar and whiskey night soon. I’m the only person that’s seen rounders let alone played a hand so good suggestions on teaching folks that like understanding games on a deeper level but have never played are appreciated.

Netflix having exclusive rights to any world cup is the opposite of how to grow the sport…you already need multiple streaming services just to watch pro soccer don’t get me started on the cups not that you should expect more from FIFA

It’s been a while since I full on lost it on someone and I should have left but joking about 1) being okay with folks who need daily life saving meds being dead and 2) joking that if we followed x laws we would all die of cancer after I’d mentioned my cancer diagnosis.

Disability days can be weird: wake up feel more rested than ever and pretty positive from some good things (won a sweepstakes for poker forge and had a good time with the folks from teacher’s bet). I get up get some groceries and then make risotto for the first time in ages and it was great .

Today has been a trip, woke up with a migraine expecting to not move, it went away quickly (never happens) so I stretched, did my walk, showered, had food. Sat down for a study day (generally don’t play on migraine days) and from nowhere the exhaustion bus hit me. Body is made of lead now.

Taped my wpt gold ticket satellite and wrote time stamps down for some decision points to go over. I know I missed a few and I also didn’t log emotions which would have been helpful in the future too. Should be good to go back through it next week. (Medical elective stuff now until monday)

Last two cash sessions were big losers instead of pretty big winners because of 4 badly played calls. Even one session I felt card dead but was somehow stealing blinds and was up 60 bb.

I’ve got like 2-3 more shots at a golden ticket after busting tonight, i can think of 2 blunders and one where I made the right cash call by a mile but icm wise I think it was anywhere from meh, to a no-no, to a blunder.

I know I followed a bunch of lists and then used them to block people but can I add people to those block lists or at least see the groups/lists I’ve followed and blocked somewhere ? @support.bsky.team

Made my first batch of pork pasole verde in like 3 years and was going to freeze it all but when I did the final taste test it quickly became a whole bowl. Needed some fry bread, radishes, cabbage, and some chihuahua cheese.

At a holiday party trying to convince everyone we should get a .10/.25 hold em game going “for fun” …if I’m missing a healthy day of study I have to try to get some reps, right?

7 left 3 paid we have 20bb from utg with KQh, we are 6 of 7 with about even stack with low stack. Low stack is immediately to our left. We open to 2.75.
HJ with 39 BB raises to 10BB, the BB (short stack) tanks so we get a lot of time to think about it and I ended up shoving.
