Finally nuked my (awful, wretched) Lastpass password mgr & migrated to a superior option that's made life far better after just one day
The Doctor Cenobite from the movie Hellraiser 2. Formerly Dr. Choinard, he was unwillingly turned into a Cenobite by the resurrected Julia, but when he emerges in Cenobite form he softly says "And to think... I hesitated."

How to reduce my Pax Unplugged board game budget: get some preordered games in the mail in advance!

Received: my copy of The Treasure Ship of Zheng He by Spiel des Jahres-winning designer Hisashi Hayashi (Bomb Busters + Yokohama)

This is a CHONKY box. Jar of peanut butter included for scale.
Cover art on the box for the new board game The Treasure Ship of Zheng He. Designer: Hisashi Hayashi. Artist: Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. Publisher: Harvest Valley. The game's title is printed on the box in both English and Chinese. The illustration shows a portrait of Zheng He, who was an admiral during the Ming Dynasty in the early 1500's. Behind him is the looming prow of a ship, and the sails of two other ships on either side and behind him. Zheng's largest ships were almost twice as long as any wooden ship ever recorded, and carried hundreds of sailors on four decks. The most prominent ship on the box cover is sky high like a wedding cake. Zheng commanded seven different "treasure voyages" throughout Asia during his tenure. These treasure voyages comprise the theme of the board game. Info for this alt text via Wikipedia entry for Zheng He Close up of the side of the box for the new board game The Treasure Ship of Zheng He. Designer: Hisashi Hayashi. Artist: Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. Publisher: Harvest Valley. Next to the box is a jar of Santa Cruz organic peanut butter, for scale. The board game box is tall and CHONKY.

Alt Text added so everyone else on bsky can read this excerpt
Interviews and records reviewed by ProPublica show a White House official told senior Department of Homeland Security officials to return the devices to the brothers several days after they were seized. The official who delivered the message, Paul Ingrassia, is a lawyer who previously represented the Tate brothers before joining the White House, where he was working as its DHS liaison.

Older photo but an evergreen mood. NYC
Closeup of a green slatted trash can near Union Square in New York City. The grey sidewalk matches the gray road; both surfaces have new and old dark stains. A pinkish-beige stuffed bunny rabbit doll is face down on the sidewalk next to the trash can. Its legs are splayed in "sploot" position; its ears cover most of the bunny's head and face; a bit of their white tufty cottontail is showing.

Or god help us, Woody Allen Minimalist
Cover to Woody Allen's book "Without Feathers." His name is at the top and the book title is at the bottom of an all white cover. The lettering is red and someone else can tell me what generically readable font is being used.

Clearly using Susan Sontag Gravitas Legacy Font b/c Nuzzi clearly places herself in the same wing of the pantheon as Sontag, Didion, etc 😶
Cover of Susan Sontag's book "I, etcetera" with Sontag posing on a ledge and lounging on a pile of papers and folders. She's wearing all black and stacked heel boots and looks directly at the camera.

Dialogue from the movie QUIZ SHOW where Charles van Doren confesses to his father that the show is rigged and that Charles was cheating.

The slippery slope that he describes as he powerslides into full cheatery is identical to anyone you hear who uses ChatGPT and starts small but ends up big.
Charles Van Doren: They gave me the answers. Mark Van Doren: They gave you the answers... they gave YOU the answers? Charles Van Doren: Well, no... no, at first they'd ask me questions they already knew I knew the answers to. We ran through those, and I really didn't want them to give me the answers, so they gave me the questions and I'd look up the answers on my own, as if that were any different. Well, we ran through those in a couple of weeks and I just didn't have the time, finally, and it just seemed silly, so...

Empty subway car bingo on a Saturday night
Empty N train car with oodles of molded plastic orange seats and shiny walls giving off lens flare that would make JJ Abrams proud.

Why would anyone even mildly defend sex trafficking or saying that the 'optics' aren't good for Democrats to lean harder on the Epstein files? (Rhetorical question imo)

What you missed at November's Dare to Karaoke show
A Dare to Karaoke contestant is singing on the Dare to Karaoke stage. Behind her is a prize table chock full of gifts. On the stage floor are the remnants of 40 (mostly popped) balloons. Behind her someone is hurriedly getting into an inflatable frog costume but has time to pose for the camera.

This utterly perfect lede by Antonia hitchens, now with Alt Text added, so everyone else can read it too
"Laura Loomer has long believed that she is some sort of modern-day oracle. For years, she would scream in public places, trying to get people to listen to what she knew. Usually they would send in security to remove her. One afternoon in 2018, she was crying in a bathroom at the U.S. Capitol after being hustled out of a hearing room, where she had interrupted a meeting of the House Energy and Commerce Committee to warn its members about a conspiracy to steal the 2020 election from Donald Trump. Her dress had ripped in the scuffle, and her underwear was showing. "Like Cassandra, the Trojan priestess of Apollo in Greek mythology who was cursed to utter true prophecies, I have been given the gift of prophecy," she later wrote. "But I am a prophet of doom whose warnings of disaster are condemned and ignored.""

I didn't know what Andrew Cuomo's spokesperson Rich Azzopardi looked like, but based on vibes & edgelord peacocking I figured he was a Chicken Parm Guy™ - and I was 100% correct
Rich Azzopardi, Andrew Cuomo's spokesperson, whose name is neo-Dickensian since it syncs up so perfectly with the phrase "Rich Asshole Party"

Still from the movie JERRY MAGUIRE (1996). Tom Cruise (as Jerry Maguire) stands along a wall apart from a crush of sports reporters who are interviewing his client, Arizona Cardinals NFL wide receiver Rod Tidwell (unseen). From across the room Jerry tractor beams his eyes with Rod's and points at him, overcome with emotion, as if to say, "You the man. I love you man."

There's no on my train car at the moment - which means a rare maskless subway selfie!

Whenever you upload an image, you will have the option to include Alt Text to "subtitle" the image.

The description then appears as a box of text underneath your bluesky post.

The "+ ALT" black tab in the upper left corner of the uploaded image is what you click to enter the Alt Text field

Mamdani naming members of his transition team at a live presser on Nov 5th.

-Mamdani's named transition team members = all women
-Lina Kahn (!!!)
Nicholas Fandos (from that NYT-only first-draft first thoughts twitter-esque feed reporting Mamdani's press conference on Nov 5: "Speaking at his first news conference as mayor-elect, Zohran Mamdani announced his transition team. Its leader: Elana Leopold, a de Blasio administration alumna. The co-chairs will be Lina Khan, the progressive former Federal Trade Commission chair, and Maria Torres-Springer, a former first deputy mayor.
