The white plume says “all hat and no cattle”, so if it’s actually an effective unit, this a good camouflage job to buy an extra turn or two before drawing the opponent’s focus. The blues and purples for the armour are well done, really effective colouring for the shadows and highlights.

Definitely a ban for your own safety. Honestly surprised this is the first time it’s been issued, would have thought this would have been in place years ago.

You know, back in the day, the way to get Andrew’s attention was just to leave your phone on a counter and like a moth to a flame he’d find it and take a selfie on it with everyone in the building.

The system is not perfect, we’re short staffed and squeezed, long term care is a mess, pharma and counselling and physio are mostly private or employer pay, but still, the yanks would all desperately love $500/mth per person no copay no deductible

in this case, clicking through their two one-pagers, to the longer study, the $19,000 is two parents two kids family with income over $188k. So $19k for four people, still less than the flat per-capita of $5800ish per ea that they dismiss at the start.

I’d quibble and push for a mixed list, Iffy and Ben were a great combo on screen so Iffy, Ben and Graham for Make Some Noise, Kathleen and @wheeler.bsky.social for Um Actually, and then the four from LRR on Dirty Laundry. Do the full tour. Oh and send them Jacob Wysocki and some cash for RoadQuest 2

Your display name now requires that I suggest you put the phone or browser tab with Bluesky away and go put some text in that chapter, unless you’re just using posts as your first draft process, which is both unhinged and potentially effective. Either way, looking forward to the book.

So what we learned today is that chapter of the book gets its own content warning, maybe followed by a blank page, but is highly relevant and important material.

Poster’s hangover after the world series.

Sell cardboard. Buy bricks. Much more durable.

Oh hey a boat song I hadn‘t previously encountered, thanks!

The Mary Ellen Carter is objectively a better song, don’t know why you think there would be any issues about this.
