Game Store Guy: DnD has become so woke these days! I can’t stand to play it. I think I will go back to chess.

And where reputable journalists and thinkers go, so do elected officials.
I’ve been getting asked lately about a more serious + systemic migration to Bluesky among electeds.

Sometimes I find it can be hard to find what to be thankful for, especially as the world is spinning out of control around me. But this morning I spent 20 minutes just going through 10 years of family photos. I am feeling very thankful, and my heart is full. ❤️ Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

I enjoy the distortion in speakers when a phone near them gets a call/message. It feels like getting a letter delivered by a little technology-ghost-mailman!
