Genuinely surprising. I had assumed filling the VIP bleachers would be a given with the craven suckup GOP. I imagine Stalin would have sent no-shows to a gulag.
Beltway chronicler Politico surveyed 50 GOP lawmakers and found just seven who said they planned to attend, including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R., Ga.). www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

So Elon Musk is launching a robocab after investing in brain chips and also has a goal of going to Mars.
Are we sure that he didn't suffer some sort of trauma OCD in 1990 and imprinted at a showing of "Total Recall"?

This. This, right here. This is the comic that broke my brain, and made me realize how much world building was possible with the medium. I vividly recall randomly picking up THB by Paul Pope, and being blown away.

I find the story of Oliver Cromwell gives me hope in these trying times. Specifically the part where despite dying in office, he was exhumed by Parliament, hanged, decapitated, and his head impaled on a pike.
Remember, it's never too late...

On Friday I visited the Grolier Club in Manhattan to view the exhibit of Imaginary Books. It was extremely cool, and worth checking out if you are in the area. (It's free and will be up until February 15th) #thekinginyellow #booksky

My feed recently is a bit more like:
"Well, we can do you doom and humor without the news, and we can do you doom and news without the humor, and we can do you all three concurrent or consecutive. But we can't give you humor and news without the doom. Doom is compulsory."

Waiter lifting a Doom shaker: "Would you like some fresh Doom for your scrolling?"
Me: "Just a little."
Waiter: "Say when..." *the cap falls off the Doom shaker, covering my feed in Doom*
Me: "Um. That's enough."
*beeping as the waiter backs a dump truck of Doom toward my table*

I have been going down the twin rabbit holes of the idea of Commonplace Books, and ways to customize the Obsidian app. The criticism of John Locke's method quoted at the end of this article points to people already seeing the need for tags in the 17th century.

I have a new side gig: Squirrel DJ.
We have at least one flying squirrel living in our attic, which would be fine (very cute) but he/she has a tendency to go exploring in the crawlspaces and then gets lost in the walls, keeping L up all night.

Leaving a bag of monopoly money near your murder scene and watching the cops fail to find it for three whole days while following an unrelated bike is what being a D&D DM is like
