I don't watch baseball but I have found myself following the 2025 #worldseries and it is somewhat compelling. #mlb

I absolutely understand the inconvenience, the not ordering ahead thing and accept that is poor and entitled behaviour. But the other part of me thinks that if selling croissants 2 at a time warrants a tip of 0, then selling them 20 at a time will cost you 10 times that in tips. 😃

Genuine question from an Australian. Does your tipping culture extend to retail purchases? Like if you buy an item from a store you are expected to tip also? Or is there a service component I'm not seeing?

I agree that people do dumb stuff when they are young. they should have the opportunity to grow, and learn, earn redemption and take responsibility. But ome of that taking responsibility includes accepting "that dumb stuff I did probably means there are better choices than me to take public office"

Introducing a new person to my regular DND table this Sunday. Quietly excited by what they may bring. #ttrpg

When my players (or I) need a break from the main #dnd campaign, I will sometimes run a historical one shot in my campaign world. Having the players be part of the creation is much more fun and engaging than asking them to read and remember lore. #ttrpg

If i posted this before, I apologize.

But i want everyone to see this. While our federal joke of a government won't help feed kids, the governor of Michigan will.

Free school meals will continue in Michigan, says Gov. Whitmer

As Michigan lawmakers continue to work on the state budget, it appears that school meals will remain free, according to Governor Gretchen Whitmer.

I have come to the view that familiarity does not breed contempt in respect of cities. I am in #Adelaide for work related reasons for the fourth time today and think I have liked it a little more each time. See also #Mackay, #Bundaberg

I genuinely try to keep my own posting to nerd craft. #boardgames, #ttrpg, #sumo, #booksky etc but the personal is political and every ❤️ of support for an artist or creator I admire, whose empathy or bravery speaks to me, drives the algorithm a little further left.

I am finding it surprisingly comforting to be following a #sumo Basho, where the top guys are performing like top guys, and the next tier are industrially sorting it out among themselves.

Lost Ruins of #Arnak, came out in (I think 2020) and maybe got lost in a bit of a COVID bubble for me. Me and my best #boardgame people got it to the table for the first time tonight, and it won't be the last. Tight without being mean. Great fun.

Me and my best #boardgame people had resolved to play small games last night. But then someone brought #Vantage and I spent three hours exploring an alien planet and duelling skirm

This deserves to be more widely celebrated.

If your #dnd players manage to kill your Final Boss during an early set up encounter... It turns out they weren't the Final Boss anyway.

There’s a persistent myth that new solar farms don’t really help tackle climate change because panels are “made with coal” and “never pay back” their carbon debt.

This is simply false.

- UN: solar ~8x cleaner than gas, ~19x than coal per kWh
- panels repay CO2 in 4 months; save 57x over life

@brisbanelions.bsky.social member but Genuinely happy for Gold Coast Suns, club and supporters #afl tonight

My regular #DnD table appears to have devolved into 3 hours of chaos followed by 13 days of trying to work out where this logically takes our story, and I'm down for that.

Last night I played #SETI for the first time with my best #boardgame people. Some fantastic mechanics, great board space, but maybe too much at four players. Or maybe just too much if one of the four is Tim. #timtime

I may be in the minority but I would be more excited by a third #unsleepingcity or second #starstruckodyssey series from @dimension20.bsky.social than Fantasy High: Senior Year. @dropout.tv

#boardgames that nailed the theme. #obsession because as a pompous middle aged white man I know that the choice between installing a croquet lawn, or suggesting my wife invite the countess over to play whist is the sort of choice that matters.

Loving it. Aside from having short trumpian fingers that probably means I am always going to be playing short scale, I think it is my instrument.

For the first time I'm in a band that isn't just, me and a few other people I roped in to play my stuff. And F* Me but they appear to be genuinely interested in playing some of my stuff.

#boardgames that nailed the theme. Spots. A goofy Derpy, family game that is loveable and doesn't demand too much of you... about dogs.
