@fredwj.bsky.social is killing time at the airport reading your book... Pendragon Starter Set 💙⚔️🎨

We accidentally slept through two alarms. Scrambled to the airport in Alb... only to have our flight delayed due to "needs new parts" by four hours. FOUR HOURS.

Constant pop ups of bullshit derail me from actually getting seats, baggage, and checking out. Shameful. #enshitification

United Airlines website is a fetid shit-scape. It does not fill me with confidence they can keep their planes in the air. The ratio of asking to sign up to their marketing agenda dwarfs my ability to actually get done the things I need to get done. #fetidshiscape #unitedairlines

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Ongoing protests against President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement policies took a two-wheeled turn in Portland today, when hundreds of people — some fully or partially nude — gathered for what organizers dubbed an Emergency World Naked Bike Ride.

In the book The Black Cauldron, there is a great class of monster called the Huntsmen of Annuvin. When one died, his power flowed into the rest of them. The fewer there were, the harder they were to kill. Very gameable enemy.

I’ve never seen this before! An *inward-indicating* word-balloon tail (that’s the speaker’s right arm descending below the word balloon).

FASCINATING! Does this tail technique have a name? Have folks seen it used elsewhere?? I have so many questions!!! (From HIRAYASUMI, book 3, pg 37)
