I know that it's a long shot, but if anyone has a FF14 FanFest ticket lottery win that they don't plan to use, I'd love the opportunity to buy tickets for my wife and I. Otherwise, I'll just do the best I can with general admission on Friday.

I'm really bummed to have missed out on the FanFest ticket lottery. We had five attempts lined up (as we knew some friends that couldn't attend), but none of them panned out. I'm hoping that I'll be able to get lucky with general admission.

I went as a WoL for Gateway Fate today and will be going as Themis tomorrow. I'm pleased that my glowing Azem crystal glove held out for the day despite the loose connection.

My wig for Gateway Fate is "good enough" for now, so that's the last of my con prep. The light connection in my glove has unfortunately suddenly started misbehaving a bit, so I'm hoping it'll make it through the weekend before I rebuild it with a minor redesign to (hopefully) fix the issue for good.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important
⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.
The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.

So many core beliefs - whether you’re talking about Jesus or Mr Rogers or Bill & Ted - really just boil down to “don’t be a dickhead.” Being kind to others shouldn’t be revolutionary; it should just be how we conduct ourselves.
Masculinity is not in crisis. You can still go shoot guns. Go hunting. Go fishing. Drink beers with the boys. Have consensual sex. Watch sports. Play sports. Build stuff. Fix your car. Provide for your family. Be a great friend. Be a great partner. Be loud. Be a rebel. Just don't be a dickhead.

I'm about to go on a work trip to a conference that I'm really not looking forward to. The timing of it is particularly annoying for several reasons, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to set that frustration aside and be personable while there.

M5S down! I definitely feel like I'm improving at learning these fights. (I also was lucky enough to get two of the four drops, which will really help when I start attempting M6S and its difficult DPS check.)

It can't be overstated how much of the appeal of ascending fascism is "You get to be the shittiest kind of person imaginable with no social consequences."
These chucklefucks act like they lived through some kind of Kafkaesque distopia but in reality their friends just asked they stop using slurs.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

megawealth is a curse! you become acutely aware of the needs you have that cannot be satisfied through material means AND you are socially ill-positioned to be in a place where you can experience authentic human connection because everyone around you has every incentive to lie to you!
it is *wild* how a primary effect of unspendable wealth can be making someone incomprehensibly thin-skinned

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...
You Blamed DEI for Hurting Your Career. Now What?
For people who pin their failures on diversity, corporate America’s DEI retreat removes a barrier—or maybe an excuse.
