I love this story. Talk about moving through the world with grace. This is an exemplar of leadership. I hope we can preserve a tradition of well-rounded and emotionally mature leaders like this in our military.
It all started in 1955 with a misprint in a Colorado newspaper and a call to Col. Harry Shoup's secret military hotline. Shoup played along with the tiny voice who called, and a tradition was born. From the NPR archives.
NORAD's Santa Tracker began with a typo and a good sport

If you can spare the time, there really is no downside to organizing or participating in one of these. Fellowship and purpose are a wonderful combination. #resist

Start of a sequence in Classic Dr Who season 13, ep 9. Sarah Jane Smith is hiding in a hollow, avoiding a scary thing hunting her. It's like an homage to Lord of the Rings, when the hobbits are hiding from the Nazgul and weirdly matches the movie sequence. Nerding out over breakfast. #lotr #drwho

Just got the Shadowrun Anarchy 2.0 PDF And I am delighted by the interesting approach they've taken where they have given us the PDF as well as a link to an open Google sheet where we can host a rat that we find in the PDF. It's brilliant. #shadowrun #shadowrunanarchy #ttrpg #ttrpgs

This makes me surprisingly happy. Creating that guide was both a labor of love and me being a hostage of my neurodiversity. I am so glad it has helped so many folks enjoy this life just a little bit more. #wasteland2 #gamerlife

Double workout today to stay on track. I slacked off yesterday. I blame the four-day weekend...and the four workouts I did Saturday and Sunday.

That feeling when you've just finished two back-to-back workouts (weightlifting followed by rowing), both of which you tracked on your watch, and your "smart" watch nags you that you need to get 200 more steps in this hour. 🤣

The National & Cannons tabletop RPG stuff from @flagbearergames.bsky.social finally arrived! I backed this ages ago and almost forgot about it. I really love the fabric printouts of the old-timey maps and the content in the books is beautifully laid out.
