On the list of things I didn’t expect to see today: a photo byline on Law.com for a shot I took two years ago at the CLOC conference in Law Vegas! 📸

Screenshot of a Law.com article titled “‘A Fundamental Realignment’: CLOC Expands Board to Reflect Full Legal Ecosystem.” The page shows the Law.com header, navigation menu, and the article’s headline with a subheading about changes in the Corporate Legal Operations Consortium. Below the headline is a photo from the CLOC Global Institute event featuring a stage with bright purple and pink geometric patterns and the words “CLOC Global Institute” displayed prominently. A circular zoom overlay highlights the photo credit text reading “Credit: Steve Tanner/Relativity.”

Adding another used #ChooseYourOwnAdventure to the shelf: Chinese Dragons.

Originally #109 (Bantam, 1991), later #30 in the 2009 Chooseco reissue.

Like many late-run titles from the original series, it’s light on endings: just 11 paths to wrap things up. 🤷🏼‍♂️ #CYOA #Gamebooks
The image features the book "Chinese Dragons," part of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" series. The cover depicts a scene with a young boy in a red outfit, a horse, and several dragons in the background.

I love that a 1986 #ChooseYourOwnAdventure book noted that Christopher Columbus was a slimeball.

#IndigenousPeoplesDay #CYOA @chooseadventure.bsky.social

(📷: "Haunted Harbor" by Shannon Gilligan. Choose Your Own Adventure for Younger Readers #33, 1986. Republished as “Ghost Island” in 2008.)
Text from a page discussing Christopher Columbus, highlighting the historical event with an emphasis on the cruelty experienced by indigenous people, specifically the Arawaks, as they are forced into servitude. The passage concludes with "The End."

My alma mater, where apparently you come for the friendly students, and stay for the awkwardly staged photo highlighting your amazing lack of diversity.

Reality or Photoshop? In either case, a comms team should have caught this.
