Seeing Venice #CitySpies style. We retraced Cairo & Paris’ steps, looked at lots of beautiful masks, bought a small (carryon compatible) snowglobe, and enjoyed Kat’s view😊
Thanks to @jamesponti.bsky.social for books that give us an extra incentive to see some sights!

Kiddo rolled up a new character for an upcoming adventure; rolled 15, 11, 14, 13, 10, 18.
Kiddo then rolled for my new character; rolled 9, 8, 9, 13, 9, 15.
Kiddo was SO apologetic, but I was just tickled!

I need everyone on Normal People internet to know that American Girl Doll Instagram is doing doll protests today. There are tiny t-shirts and signs. AND THEN I realized it's a joint protest with the Barbie ppl, where there are EVEN TINIER SIGNS.

TIL (from a kids book) that Ben Franklin wanted the wild turkey as the US national symbol instead of a bald eagle, and that it took six years to settle the debate. Apparently Franklin thought wild turkeys were more “respectable.” I am not sure about more respectable, but certainly more apt of late!

If Trump sends Elon to fix things in space, do you think Elon could take Mark, Jeff, Sam, and Peter along? Because I feel like that would fix a lot of things down here too….

This has got to be my favorite use of AI, by a substantial margin. But I wonder how long we have before the whole system is just AI on both sides talking to itself 🤔
A phone company developed an AI 'granny' to beat scammers at their own game
The company behind the scam-baiting granny said the AI technology can keep scammers on the phone for 40 minutes at a time, keeping them away from real people.

I put a friend to sleep while GM’ing a #ttrpg for our kids! So if you have trouble sleeping….
(They were apologetic, but I took it as a compliment that they felt comfortable crashing on the couch while kids played at the table nearby.)

This weekend I GM'ed the #lego #dnd adventure, 5yo’s first adventure. When 3 of 5 PC’s crit failed a perception check, they heard the owlbear ask them to jump on for a ride. All three made the check to get on (two w/ nat 20's).

Thing #327 I love about TTRPGs: when your 5yo comes home with off the wall hypothetical questions, you can suggest rolling some dice :)
Who would win in a fight between an elephant and a lion? What about five elephants against two lions, a tiger, a cheetah, a jaguar, and a rhino?

I was explaining recent developments in world politics to 5yo at bedtime tonight, and 5yo said somebody should go steal all the bomb-making parts and destroy them.
When I said it was a good idea, 5yo asked me very earnestly if I would tell Joe Biden, so I said I would post it….

5yo and I recently did Pokémon research by flipping three coins and counting the number of heads, and graphed our results. It was such a hit that it was requested again-I love this little nerd so much 😍
