This is the Davest I have ever been

I certainly had no idea. Glad I found out before giving some sort of glowing tribute to her memory.

I tried running when I was 18 and really enjoyed it, but I also realized that with my build I would destroy my knees eventually. Settled on biking and after college found a perfect, flat, 13-mile paved trail and rode it for years.

The perfect quote for Hogswatch day. I'm only sorry I wasn't home to repost it.

Michael Sheen spent his own money to write off $1.3 million of neighbors’ debts | CNN Actor Michael Sheen has bought $1.3 million of his neighbors’ debts and written them off using $129,000 of his own money.

The actor Michael Sheen used all his money to start a fake debt collecting business, buy 900 people in Wales's debt, and excused it. If Musk bought ALL $194 billion in medical debt in the U.S. and excused it in the same way, he'd still be the world's riches man by hundreds of billions of dollars.

As of this morning 4,500 Starbucks workers are on strike. Don’t cross their picket line.

Maybe with the first pit slot they were worried about having to wait too long to release into the string of traffic. No idea.

WTF were McLaren thinking?

(It's a joke, I swear.) Well, I'm sorry Bengals fans, but Ja'Marr Chase will be injured most of this season. I know this because I have randomly been chosen to draft first in my fantasy football league.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:

1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;

2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;

3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

The Anti-Porn Crusade That Censored Steam and Itch.io Started 30 Years Ago Keywords and tags have never been a useful metric for distilling nuance. Pushing for regulations based on them is repeating a 30-year history of porn panic online.

If it helps offset anything, I am a patron my 60s and I am enjoying your work more than ever.

This is going around for some reason, just gonna point out that many studies have been done about porn addiction, held by researchers who believed in porn addiction, only to find that porn addiction is not real and never was. Turns out it was religion.

Based on my personal experience in martial arts, I believe that sports communities that welcome trans women and girls end up being more welcoming and beneficial for all sorts of women. I wish more people stopped focusing on what we could ostensibly loose through inclusion when we gain so much.

I made some changes as a consumer (and former MC customer) instead of an artist, but this is a good start.

I'm so sorry. I have dealt with situations like this, but not anywhere near this bad.

If anyone you know is 13-24, in the US, and is LGBTQ+, please have them complete the Trevor Project survey this year.

Their last survey has been integral to protecting LGBTQ+ rights globally.

I can't understate how big an impact it has. Multiple publications come from the data.

Share widely.

Don't let the list intimidate you. You don't need to read them all unless you fall in love with them. There is no grand overarching story line and the recurring characters are more of a comfort than a requirement to read/know everything in everyone's back story. Read whatever appeals to you.

I always liked the way the Judges Guild RPG supplement City State of the Invincible Overlord referred to the lawyers' union as the Litigation Tricksters Guild.

If you do, please know that you don't have to (and shouldn't) start at the beginning. You can start pretty much anywhere in the series. The first couple books are, IMO, not as good as the rest as Sir Terry was finding his voice. Use this helpful guide. bsky.app/profile/rinc...
