I'm reminded of a quote from @johnrogers.bsky.social a couple of years ago that has stuck with me:
"We're running hunter/gatherer wetware 10,000 years old in a completely alien information framework. What we have done to ourselves is genuinely cruel."

I will never forget my medieval poetry professor's response to a student complaining about how Beowulf was so arrogant.
"Arrogant? Of course he's arrogant! You don't set yourself up in the Grendel-grabbin' business unless you've got a pretty high opinion of yourself!"

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
I'm gonna be alright.

I hate how perfect bound books and adventures can't be scanned on a standard bookshelf. Makes it harder to find the one you want and makes the bookself look messy.
So I make these boxed sets for my loose RPG stuff. Each holds 3 inches of 8.5x11 books (I make the labels myself).

For many years at game night, we had this enormous bag of stale Chick-O-Sticks that we used as punishment for...whatever, really. Bad language beyond the unspoken yet understood threshold, horrible puns, etc. The offender had to eat the candy while saying "Mmmm, I *love* Chick-O-Sticks."

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

What other word is there but fraud when he does this over and over, all while the planetary scientists are telling him "No, that's not how this works."
I hate that media attention should become more important than torching one's reputation in the field, but weirder things have happened.

I helped Professor Dave lay out exactly how Avi Loeb has manufactured doubt and pushed a false narrative about 3I/ATLAS, which is still an interstellar comet. Please enjoy the video and please repost this to share the word.
