One of the games in the bundle, Misspent Youth, is in my top ten favorite RPGs. I love it so much, we played it on Tabletop. Here's a link to the first part of two.

For dinner, I made us a bunch of chili, and a skillet of jalapeno cornbread, with the last jalapenos of the season from my garden.
Anyway, an hour ago would have been a great time to remember to wear gloves when you cut jalapenos, or at least don't touch your eye, nose, or mouth when you're done.

Elon Musk is a Nazi. Full stop. Substack is supporting and endorsing a Nazi, days after that Nazi told the world he was proud to be a Nazi.

Four years ago, I was trying out a weekly release of audiobook-style narration, using short pieces from the public domain. One of them, shockingly relevant then and scarily relevant now, was Ur Fascism, written by Umberto Ecco.
It is, sadly, time to repost it.

So this is your reminder to relax your shoulders, unclench your jaw, and take some deep breaths.
Take care of yourself. Put your own mask on before assisting another passenger.

We tried to warn the dipshits who voted for him, and they acted like we were crazy.
Well, it's all happening. And it has only been one week.
I will never forget and I will never forgive the people who put this tyrant back into the White House. Ever. They did this, and I will never forgive them.

None of this brings down prices, lowers taxes, raises wages, or helps improve quality of life.
All he has done is consolidate power, terrorize vulnerable people, and make us all less safe.

I made a pact with the squirrels last Spring. They stay out of my garden, and I give them snacks.
Maybe it's more of a protection racket, now that I think of it.
One small pumpkin was left at the end of the season, so I put it out for them, and set up a camera specifically to get a shot like this.
