A digitally drawn homage to the George Herriman comic strip Krazy Kat. Starting left of frame we see yellow Ignatz Mouse having just thrown a brick which is sailing across the center of the frame and in another instant will bash the oblivious Krazy Kat (a blue bipedal cartoon cat wearing a red scarf) in the back of the head as he walks innocently to the right. Everything is drawn in rough black pen and colored in pale washes. A speech bubble from Ignatz reads β€˜Maybe it will…’, the word ’Happen’ appears in the whooshing trail of the sailing brick, and a final speech bubble belonging to the Kat reads β€˜β€¦Today’.

I'm not bragging here, but recent engagement with @today-maybe.bsky.social has shown me how a simple message of hope and positive thinking can really connect with people.

It's on my list of "games I have aquired but not yet read, let alone played" . . .

My gaming stalled a LOT.

I used to do copyright protection for #fnord. I remember a lot about "finding unlicensed distribution", much like Nathan knows a lot about crime from investigating it. ;)

Plus the bonus "Immunity Amnesia" where it wipes out your ability to fight things you used to be protected against.

TIL that Leverage RPG exists...

... and is apparently OOP with no (legal) option for digital purchase, with secondary market for the main book approaching $200 ...

Or my search skills are failing me.

I have yet to see an image or video of Mullin where I would trust him to understand 6th grade English, let alone that he is a US Senator.

I mean, he's no Gohmert, but he doesn't look like he can get his shoes on the right feet.

... and it's worse when he talks.

Oklahoma, I hope you can do better.

Not gonna share the video of Republican US Senator Tim Sheehy breaking a protesting Marine's hand, but you can find it on @charlotteclymer.bsky.social's timeline.

I'll just say that in a functional country, Sheehy would be expelled by the Senate.

Democratic Senators should publicly push for that.
