My orc bard was adamantly pro-goblin floor cake. The cake was moist and in orc cultures one does not let delicious cake go to waste.
Friday night D&D. We are murdering a goblin birthday party. We had the advantage of stealth, but ended up losing it by virtue of getting in a loud argument about whether or not to eat floor cake.
Goblin floor cake.
Goblin floor cake.

Although (finally) learning the rules of curling has both helped and hindered the watching experience

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I commend County Executive Ball & local leaders in Howard Co for working to block ICE's attempt to set up another detention facility in Maryland.
We saw the inhumanity of ICE's operation in Baltimore & Marylanders have made clear: we do not want these facilities in our state.

![[Scene is a kitchen - a middle aged woman called JANET is boiling peas at the stove. A younger more colourfully dressed woman named LIZ approached her.]
JANET:
Ugh...
LIZ:
What's up?
JANET:
I am so bored of cooking peas!
LIZ:
Have you tried...
AI peas?
JANET:
AI peas?
LIZ:
They're peas with AI!
[Liz holds up to us a packet of peas labelled: Pea-i AI - Peas with AI].
LIZ:
Al-powered peas harness the potential of your peas
JANET:
What
LIZ [Now a voiceover as we cut to a whizzy technology diagram of peas all connected by meaningless dotted lines]
Why not take your peas to the next level with Al Peas' new Al tools to power your peas?
[Show a techno diagram of a pea with a label reading 'AI' pointing to a random zone in it]
LIZ:
Each pea has Al in a way we haven't quite worked out yet but it's fine
[Show Janet and Liz now in a Matrix-style world of peas]
LIZ:
With Al peas you can supercharge productivity and make AI work for your peas!
JANET:
What
LIZ:
Shut up
LIZ:
Our game-changing Pea-Al gives you the freedom to unlock the potential of the power of the future of your peas workflow
From opening the bag of peas
to boiling the peas
to eating the peas
To spending millions on adding Al to the peas and then having to work out what that even means.
JANET:
Is it really necessary to-
LIZ [Grabbing Janet by the collar]:
THE PEAS HAVE GOT AI, JANET
[Cut to an advert ending screen, with the bag of peas and the slogan:
AI PEAS: Just 'Peas' for god's sake buy the AI peas.

I’m becoming more and more convinced this Greenland madness is designed to push Putin bombing Kyiv’s civilian heating infrastructure in January off the news and out of mind.
Now no one at Davos is talking Russia. And if NATO is putting troops in Nuuk, who is defending Poland?

I’ve been trying to learn how to knit faster. I knit English style (mostly) and have been watching all these YouTube videos on flicking. And then I got curious and actually watched myself knit and….
I must have instinctually taught myself flicking years++ ago and never realized. Hmm.

The Venezuelan invasion is just Celebrity Apprentice the US Foreign Policy version.
Tacky, aimless, pointless, unnecessarily covered in gold leaf with no real aim except as a cheap reality show to prop up sagging ratings and views.
And a throwback to when it was popular and people watched. Old.

This Venezuela thing feels very…. _old_.
Going to war over oil in the time of renewables is _old_.
Invading Latin America is _old_.
Trump’s strategy - as such it is - is out of the late 80s Reagan playbook (Iran/Contra, Panama).
And Trump himself is so very _old_.
Ancient and decrepit. Old.

Finally (FINALLY) had the opportunity to play Mothership RPG and it completely lived up to the hype from everyone telling me “you need to play Mothership.”
Thanks to @deadlyfredly.bsky.social for an awesome one-shot! Nothing is as good as starting a session off with someone’s head being eaten.
