First time going to Midwest Gaming Classic this weekend with @shnowmon.bsky.social and my buddy Austin. I was really blown away by all the stuff they had. Spent all night Friday playing classic games on every system imagineable and then scooped a ton of sweet merch and took in some panels today.

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.” A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/cory-bo...

The Bucks are in freefall, the Badgers men's bball team choked again, and the Brewers got roundhouse kicked to start the season. Not the finest hour for Wisconsin sports.

I want a skyrim mod where Mike Breen yells BANG every time I hit an arrow shot of 50+ yards.

Oops maybe we shouldn't have ruined one of the landmark characters in all of science fiction, people seem to like him.

I have to say, as someone who is a Certified Apple Hater......the Apple TV screensavers are just kickass.

I am again just reminding Dept of Ed employees that you could probably accomplish debt jubilee just by labeling the student loan record folder "DEI" on your way out the door

It's been 14 years and I'm still going back and playing Skyrim when the mood takes me. I don't expect that to change, ever.

Same old Badgers. We are officially a women's hockey school.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=x8xx... Was watching this on my lunch today and I thought it was cool that the video draws a direct line between Picard and Hornblower, another TV show that I adore, fictional naval character I admire, and had never made the connection before.

This letter appeared in the Bloomsburg PA Press Enterprise this morning. I am assured the writer is who he purports to be, an Air Force veteran.

When the script you write works correctly the first time, it's a good day.

HEY I actually have some professional experience with this! This is one of those things where the effort is there, the material is usually there, but the problem is time. Basically unless you are very smart with how you structure your units, you're going to run out of class time around WW2-Vietnam.

Pulled a serialized Red Five at pre release today. Easily now the most valuable card I own.

Reddit tried to recommend me the Flat Earth subreddit this morning. I don't think I've ever been more insulted in my life. Your entire algorithm has failed.

People who are snobs about sci-fi are just the worst. I knew it was going to be an uphill battle to begin with for best picture, turns out it wasn't even a contest.

Final showdown of Set 3 today at Gnome West, I took 2nd place. So, in my last 3 competitive events I've finished 2nd/1st/2nd. Hard to consider this season as anything other than an unqualified success.

Nothing has done a better job selling Apple TVs than Samsung's pathetic excuse for a SMART TV OS.

Came up to the UP this weekend and took first place in the Taiga Store Showdown for Set 3. Final match was against a deck that I've historically struggled with. My first ever tournament win.

Couldn't think of a better example of societal decay if I tried. The idea of making sure your listening habits conform to what someone else's idea of what's good so that your end of year report card is something you can use for online clout....I love wrapped, but it's because it's *mine*
