I'm floored.

This is ONE stretch of ONE side of the street in deep red, small town Knoxville, TN today.

This is a city that Trump won in 2024 by 20+ points.

The scope of these protests are massive—American from both sides of the aisle are pissed.

There will be no kings.

Cyber Anxiety

That is a horrifying number of tabs. I can't decide if you need an intervention or an exorcist at this point.

(Go exorcism. Hella good Sci Show content on your experience!)

By definition, you cannot know whether the people ICE are kidnapping are legal or illegal residents until you go through due process.

That's also why it's so fucked up. ICE could pick YOU up tomorrow and, without due process, nobody could say whether what they did was correct.

Happy birthday!

Sounds like a Crisis Event to me... Looks like you need a few more alternative universes in the KB Cinematic Multiverse!

In “Way of the Kings” there’s a cursed king who doesn’t know whether he will wake up a genius or an idiot each morning.

That’s how I am now with anger. Today I am very angry.

Of course. If Dems start to look like they will regain power, they have to have a plan in the wings to fully neuter the power they themselves have abused.

To be fair, it's only a contingency plan in the event they can't rig another election or Trump can't become a permanent dictator in 4 years.

My latest experiment. Turned out super good. My mouth is on fire and I couldn't be happier.

A few of my coworkers use it and absolutely love it for note taking and recall. I'm super jealous of it honestly but the price has stopped me so far.

I'm not a big sports guy but the fact that someone built this and it actually works is just so good. Small ray of ongoing progress in this crazy time.

So today is apparently chest-clutching anxiety day.... Thanks body. No I didn't need a heads up. Cool cool very good cool...

I can't even describe the amount of distress I'm feeling about the state of our country and even the world. I feel absolutely powerless to do anything about it because I am.

I have as much political sway as a Democrat US Senator, which amounts to:

"Somebody should do something! [send tweet]"

Google placing their idiotic AI generated slop at the top of search is infuriating especially for googling actual facts. There's no point in a search AI that gets reality grossly wrong half the time.

I really liked them. He went with a more Western vibe for the second series and it probably took him a bit to really settle into his version of the tropes but it's still very fun and a great evolution of the world established in the first series...

Aaaaand now I need to go reread Mistborn.

Yeah. In addition to not knowing where to begin...sometimes it just feels like anything I'd have to say has probably already been said better so who needs to hear my nonsense.

Stability studies conducted under cGMP regulations are very strict about risk. The use date is typically set in such a way that it's practically guaranteed that EVERY packet of a drug will be safe. So naturally, the date will be shorter than real expiration for a large portion of product.

I am a chemist that performs the stability studies that go into establishing use dates. It's all about risk. Yes, most individual packets of drugs hold potency beyond use date. But if there's even a hint of potency loss or impurity by the end of the study, the date is set accordingly.

I don't know that I've ever heard a better idea than bagels.

Maybe use for an action economy?
In order to perform an action you must trade some number of dice to your opponent (or DM, or coop players), which then fuels how much they can do.
Tie in mechanics that change the value of the dice on trade to swing advantages, dice color meaning, etc...

Just finished it this morning. Hold on to your butt, it gets so much crazier.

I like them a lot. The large voice cast and background sound really adds to the experience.

As far as I can tell, all of the text is either spoken by the narrator or the cast. They only words left out are things like "Jasnah said..." since you can tell who spoke by the voice.

Same. I am on 2/6 of the Graphic Audios for RoW and I just don't think I'll find the hours between now and Friday. Oh well, journey before destination and all that 😅

Yeah the returning trend toward casual paramilitary style (particularly for anything slightly masculine coded) reminds me of post-9/11 military fetishization and I hate it here.

That looks like a cat who just hit the sanderlanche and needs to process XD
