Fun!

I'll probably pick it up in a few weeks. I'm having a lot of fun with BG3 right now.

I picked Baldur's Gate 3 back up two weeks ago.

Last summer I played Act 1 of the game and found myself thoroughly satisfied, and decided to wait to play the rest.

Act 2, like Act 1, is just as awesome. We'll see if I decide to take another break before the third act, haha! This game is nothing short of a masterpiece.

Other than that I've been taking a lot of 10-15 minute breaks while working from home and enjoying the minigames on Meta Horizons.

Henry Neff, author of the Tapestry series, Impyrium, and as of this week, Witchstone.

Awesome writer. Awesome illustrator, and in 2020, he made my year. I DM'd him on Twitter asking if he had a physical copy of his 5th book in the Tapestry series that I could buy, because at that time you could only get it in e-book format. He sent me an inscribed and signed special edition as a Christmas present with a bunch of neat swag. That book is my prized possession.

I dunno, man. I keep telling people to stop voting capitalist, and every election it's 99% Democrat and Republican, so this is what happens.

That's amazing, and just as it should be. Sex work is work.

Reminds me of how vociferously the Right raged against Obama when his DOJ released its report on domestic terrorism and rightly attributed to right-wing interests. Obama, as the good corporate lap dog that he was, apologized for saying the correct, factual things, which is weird, because that report's one of the few good things Obama ever did.

The notion that civility should be maintained in the face of people's loss of station and recognition under the law absolutely infuriates me.

Not awesome.

Dad's in the hospital for the umpteenth time.

Kid brother died yesterday morning, and even better, may have inadvertently hung himself during autoerotic asphyxiation. (Though, objectively, that seems like a decent way to go, truly.)

Israel keeps pounding murdering people in Gaza as Palestinian death toll in hostage rescue raid rises to 274.

That feels a tad more honest.

If I'm understanding you correctly, Brave Browser does that.

I'm about 2/3 of the way through backing up my 'Liked' songs to MP3 files, at which point I'm ending my sub.

It's a bummer because I actually really like Spotify's algorithm and it suggests great music for my tastes, but, I can have that for free without feeding their stupid insatiable greed.

LOL

US agencies will take their bribes and do jack shit. As with everything else, Europe will lead on the regulatory front.

For funsies I just went to joebiden.com to see if he had a policy position on his site regarding Israel.

And also fun, there are no policy positions there at all.

Just a donation portal and a chatbot trying to gett you to pay to be in a contest to have a dinner with him. I'm sure the conversation at that dinner will be riveting.

Awesome.

The billionaires are enshittifying everything.

I love that half of my feed is Israel stories, all of them negative, and both presumptive US presidential candidates support Israeli genocide 100%.

I still have a ton of these books and bust them out occasionally. CYOA was the peak of reading growing up.

Idaho got away with criminalizing abortion. Texas has gotten away with making doctors too scared to save people's lives when it's clear they need a lifesaving abortion.

In less than two years 2/3 of the US states will have followed in those footsteps, just like in 2/3 of the US states it's still legal to pay someone $7 an hour.

They still sold user data without being upfront about it until caught,

And then they did better, as a business should. It's all in their FAQ.

I'm not sure why there has to be a circle jerk of trolls any time someone mentions Brave, but here we are.

I work out six days a week, haha.

Once you get to a point where it's like brushing your teeth, it's easy.

That's fine. Do what you like.
