Fun fact, picked up from a visiting brewery event they did in London in, uhh, 2015? It's travelled with me since.

I have too many beer glasses.

In the best possible way, this is an American-ass take.

Both Miyazaki and Tolkien just draw from the well around them. It's not "cozy," it's just... normal?

Guy talking to his friend at the bar: "dude, I think Jude Law is so into his nannies that he went like 2 deep."

Other guy: "Damn, really? You really know this lore!"

First guy: "Yeah man, Jude Lore"

I involuntarily snorted with laughter from the table behind them.

We're cool.

Phew indeed. But where do I go bite my nails off tomorrow night?

“Body-camera video of a Border Patrol agent involved in the shooting of a woman who was allegedly chasing agents in Brighton Park over the weekend shows an officer saying, “Do something, b----,” before pulling over & shooting the woman five times.”

DHS has lied, a lot, about every act of violence.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed.

In my current role I very rarely have to! And those are ad-hoc emails that usually follow from a conversation either in person or on a community Slack or similar.

Kai @kaiho.bsky.social · 5d

And what's frightening is that there's no going back. The rice pudding has been stirred.

Kai @kaiho.bsky.social · 5d

D.

But I don't send emails outside the org.

Holy hell I'm craving Xinjiang style food. Big plate chicken. Cucumber salad. Those lamb skewers. Completely indifferent service.

Thanks for the hangs, chat, yes-ands, "let's have another"s, etc. I hope I see you again sooner than a year from now!

I was expecting a slightly fancier one-armed bandit. Encountered banks of those things and noped out to the roulette

Kai @kaiho.bsky.social · 6d

Yup, one of those "you should just attend to see this stuff" moments.

My understanding was that Rachel said "ok now the recording is off, time for real talk"
