@AthenaHollins asked great questions about real job numbers, alternative tech & why should we let them skirt environmental laws? She also asked Amazon to speak up, but they would not, even though their lobbyist was IN THE ROOM. Will Amazon testify at the next hearing? #mnleg

Woke up one morning to a blue three-year old girl who had found a collection of permanent markers and proceeded to decorate every inch of her skin.

MacArthur was such a freak, but his experiences living in Asia gave him a lot of insight into the symbolism and pageantry of Japanese culture. The picture was a stronger sign of surrender than the actual articles of surrender.

The name of Elon Musk's holding company is Excession, named after one of Banks's most controversial culture books. It's a book about sin, and forgiveness and it boggles my mind that Musk read it or liked it or understood it.

Oh it's come here too. MN isn't expensive like CA is expensive, but I literally could not afford my house if I had to buy it at today's valuation. I just got lucky 13 years ago and now would get priced out of my neighborhood.

My publishing company has been looking at this stuff as a possible use-case. I had it summarize a few non-fiction books I'd recently read to see what it got from it, and...was not impressed. Like listening to a good freshman bullshitter giving a book report.

I'm a bit skeptical of the idea that "cooking over wood fire" AKA tending a hearth isn't a huge amount of work compared to modern stoves. I've cooked that way in a cabin, it sucks.

I really appreciated the recent Gundam: Requiem show, where they give it the pacing, cinematography and soundtrack of a horror movie monster. It always feels heroic and optimistic in the cartoon, but has really oppressive weight in the show.

it is a time of remembrance, reflection and rest (at least for the upper class).
A player recently retired a character with 4 Wealth, and I will be Scrooging him tonight. Three powerful Iruvian spirits will visit him and the PC's will need to scramble to figure out how to save Laststar and his soul
