I didn't work on setting the new shop up today. Had errands that had to be ran, things that needed to be done and all that. Plus a giving my back a break since it's not in great condition. Tomorrow will be a LOT of little things getting finished up so we can open on Wednesday.

Moving a very well stocked #FLGS that also does used books. Not fun. I put in twelve hours today and I feel beat up. Still have a long way to get setting up the new shop so it's ready to go.

It was my last night running the shop at the Factory location. Tomorrow we start the big move and it's going to be a whole lot of not fun. Then next Wednesday will my first night at the new location. That part I'm looking forward to. #ShopTalk

The governor of #Missouri is trying to push the "end state income tax" bill saying how it will help residents. But he is sure staying silent about this one part of the bill that will let them raise taxes everywhere else.

Well #StrangerThings caused a resurge in #DnD interest locally where I'm at. After that final episode aired we started having folks coming into the FLGS that I work at and asking about how to get started. Of course my recommendation is usually the current starter kit.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

Dilbert creator, and transphobic rightwing nutjob jackass, Scott Adams has died. Now that's an obituary I read with great enthusiasm. Nothing of value has been lost. May go look up the 'Dilbert Hole' comics from rotten dot com in his dishonor.
