Thanks for the shout @itsquinns.bsky.social! “Should be the first solo TTRPG you buy after Thousand Year Old Vampire” — floored!!

The first is 2023's Project ECCO by Elliot Davis, which I find super thrilling and rewarding. I think it should be the first solo TTRPG you buy after Thousand Year Old Vampire. It's a time travel game you play in a DAY PLANNER! What a phenomenal idea.

Give me a vision. Make me passionate. Give me something to vote for other than “we’re not Trump.” Stop begging for cash to run ads. Get on TV by sharing a vision so inspiring that they can’t ignore you! Stop whining about money and lead!

Democrats need to stand for something other than maintaining Reagan Republican policies. I’m one year shy of 50, and *I* want you to embrace progressivism — younger generations want it even more.

@sherrodbrownoh.bsky.social Today I got another email begging for cash. That’s the only kind of communication I get from you. Dems need to lead with a vision, because the lack of one means “defend the status quo,” which is exactly what caused us to lose the White House.

This is, unfortunately, completely precedented. Scary, unconstitutional, horrible, but very, very precedented. I remember in the 80s when listening to heavy metal music was all that was needed to persuade a jury that you were a satanic murderer.

Vaccines save lives. This is the FIRST time that ZERO cervical-cancer deaths have been recorded for this age group, and it’s thanks to the introduction of a vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV). Yes, you read that correctly. ZERO.

The HPV vaccine for cervical cancer has reduced the risk of dying from the disease before the age of 30 in England to almost zero, the first study of its kind showed Thursday.

Finished *House of Leaves* today. It might be the recency effect in action, but I'd put it as my current favorite novel. It is not without its flaws, but it embodies the idea that the journey *is* the destination better than any book I've ever read.

I designed a system specifically for my kids (though it is pretty generalizable). It’s been used in the classroom as as a creative problem solving exercise. I recently made a few of the games that utilize it PWYW on carpedavid.itch.io. Agent Purrvocatuer and Super City are good first-time games.

Yeah, they are really awful. That’s where my migraines started. Then they progressed over the course of about six months to a three-week long migraine that involved two trips to the ER. Turns out they were caused by hypertension. Bumped my BP meds up and they (mostly) went away.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed.

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
