@scalzi.com I'm 99% sure you've seen this, but I can't take the 1% risk.

When I was young, I had fantasies that would make Caligula blush.

Now, at nearly 48, I just had a fantasy that Biden's latest case of covid forces him to resign, making Kamala Harris the first woman president, and her riding the wave of that first all the way to a victory in November.

OK @muskratjohn.bsky.social, you may have a "life" and a "family" preventing you from joining my painting challenge, but I'm still celebrating Munchkin May by finally tackling my Munchkin Dungeon minis! I'll be posting updates to keep myself honest, but (hopefully) not enough to count as spam 😁

@muskratjohn.bsky.social I challenge you! You've said for a while that you wish you had more time for mini painting, so I'm issuing you a (friendly) challenge. 1/

Darn it, @gailsimone.bsky.social! I was gonna give Domino a 2-hour basic paint job until I read your series last week and had to do a solid 8 hours instead (and go retouch Shang Chi). So I need you to stop writing amazing character-driven stories for the next month until I'm done painting, ok?

Do we need to start sending @gailsimone.bsky.social care packages so she can stock up?

Holiday wear that resembles an existing beloved IP just enough to confuse the in-laws: achieved!

Thanks @muskratjohn.bsky.social!

After getting to spend a week with the amazing @howardtayler.bsky.social and @sandratayler.bsky.social, I'm extra excited to say that I just backed Mandatory Failure, the 18th Schlock Mercenary book! kck.st/3PmkhhT

You know, @muskratjohn.bsky.social, every time I see ads for the latest batch of ultra-customizable minis, I wonder if 3D printing has reduced Ken's angst about keeping his mini updated to match his character.

My cruise just docked in Ketchikan right across from what I feel is the Alaskan equivalent of having multiple cars on blocks in your yard.

I have discovered a potential new side hustle. Apparently I have a talent when sitting at a table full of people who don't know each other for getting and keeping a conversation going between everybody there without pulling focus to myself. If I do this right, I'll never pay for dinner again.

How I expected it to go vs how it's actually going.

You glorious monsters.

There are some kids outside playing basketball at the neighbor's hoop. Normally I love having the background noise of people enjoying life, but the air is almost chewy with smoke today, and all I can think is "Don't they have lungs?!"

Got my invite today, in case anybody wanted to mark the day this site officially started going downhill.
