Yes, I know it is an odd-numbered year, so the only things on the ballot are weird local issues.

Go vote.

You can do something that the vast majority of people in history have not been able to do.

Go vote.

OK everyone. I know that I just post a joke here that no one else thinks is funny, and only every few months.

Tomorrow is an election day. Go vote.

I don't care what your politics are. I don't care if I agree with you or not.

Go vote.

I was on vacation. Why did I have to come home?

Tale Foundry @TheTaleFoundry Brainrot this, chronically online that... Meanwhile some teenage girl in the 1930s was sending these to her faourite horror magazine: Devil's Croft is enticing. Raggh---woof---grr---I like so very much. If you can get me any more story-length poems like Lovecraft's Psychopompos---by all means 'gimme.' Ah---ahaha---haw haww---chuckle!

This is old and it's not even the first time I've seen it but I need to stress to everyone that I am the reincarnation of this teenage girl

In the US... 100 years is a long time.
In Europe... 100 miles is a long way.

Unfortunately, too many of them are taking it as a guidebook.

I before E except after C has been proven false by SCIENCE.

My events have been approved and I'm running three sessions of Delta Green at the Southern Fried Gaming Expo in Atlanta from June 20-22. Look it up if anyone is in the area and interested.

OK. I don't know how to get in touch with TPTB, but...

I use my tablet. A lot. And, whenever I switch to BlueSky, it forces me into portrait mode.

I guess you assume that I'm using a phone in portait orientation? Maybe? But... I'm on a tablet that I am using whenever I am remote.

Can’t touch this…

Glad we got that cleared up... #momocon

"I'm having some moisture problems. Would DampRid fix it?"
"Depends."
"No, not that kind of moisture problems."

@ChuckWendig honestly do you blame it New research finds Jupiter is flinging asteroids at Earth [pic of jupiter]

What it is like getting older...

At 25:
"You seem to be in a good mood today."

"Yeah! I had really good sex this morning!"

At 65:
"You seem to be in a good mood today."

"Yeah! I had a really good poop this morning!"

I've decided that my feed from NextDoor is what you would hear if you could translate what the neighborhood dogs are barking about all day.

"A car just turned around in my driveway!"

"There were two people I don't recognize walking down the street!"

"I just heard something! Were those gunshots?"

So... Earthquake in Atlanta. Entire house shook. And it wasn't even that near us.

I think my dog slept through it.

Yay!

I'm sad that I didn't get any events submitted myself. I usually run DG at GenCon, but I was a week after eye surgery when the submission deadline hit, and I literally couldn't see to submit any events.

And there aren't that many there now.

Is it worth it trying to submit this late?

For a song called "Piano Man," that Harmonica player sure gets a lot of airtime.

I know what an em-dash is. I know how to use it. Don't assume that *every* use of it is ChatGPT showing off!

Rolled credits on "Blue Prince."

I'm nowhere near done.

I mean, I have political intrigue to figure out!

That... that's my mother?

OK, it's ON!

So it looks like "Coyote vs Acme" might actually get released.

Does this mean that we'll finally be able to hear what the Road Runner has been saying all this time? I mean, everything they've ever said has been bleeped out.

Death before decaf!

We've replaced the Dilithium Crystals in the Enterprise's warp chamber with Folgers Crystals. Let' see if they can tell the difference.

OK, everyone, I've already talked to two people today.

If you see something online that seems ridiculous or outrageous today, stop and remember the current date before you go off on a rampage.

Thanks...
