Why do I have to find out about new books from Bluesky? Why isn't there a way for me to just get a "Time to spend money now!" email?

#DnD advice: If your players are gravitating towards a specific aspect of the campaign, don't be afraid to give it more of the spotlight. My campaign is now officially The Adventures of Goblin with a Cool Hat and his Player Character Friends.

If I wanted coffee that tastes like it was burnt, I'd at least want it to be carefully burnt in an artisanal process by an expert barista-burner, not coffee that was clearly burnt in a factory and then reburnt as it was made.

But these AI fucks don't want to do any of that: they don't want to go through the process of learning, of developing skills, of cultivating the ability to see what is in light of what can be. They think this process is archaic, outmoded, something that can be replaced with a tool.

You're not wrong, but most of my kids' over scheduling is self driven. I can't count the times my wife and I have asked them "Do you need to do the third school play for two afternoons a week, and your a capella group, and lead tutoring? Can't one of those wait until the other is done?"

What do you mean, illegal forward pass? When my dad watches on TV they always throw the ball!

I'll remind you of that when you claim the measured crime rate is high and therefore we need more police. (hint, it isn't: www.nyc.gov/site/nypd/st...)
