Well, fair to say this is some of the most fun I've had playing any game, ever. Incredible.

The latest 4.0 update added trends and historical data, which means you can now open the app and be greeted by bullshit like this

I also miscounted the felt logos for the hats mid-production (lol sorry @bookymargoof.bsky.social) so we ended up making a small number of very cool looking black on black hats, so those are up for grabs for I assume a short time also: buyolympia.com/Item/xoxo-bw...

OK so we did in fact end up with a few extra @xoxofest.com merch items now that all the pre-orders have shipped. There's an extra Lower Your Expectations light, and a couple extra felt pins, enamel pins, and sticker sets, on sale now til they're gone: xoxofest.com/merch

A nice touch: the MAX Orange line passes SE Division and 12th as well as freight and passenger trains, so it’ll also specifically notify you when the crossing has been blocked for longer than the MAX usually takes.

Great article on the storied history of Belfast dive bar The Menagerie, where I spent a lot of late nights in my early 20s: www.irishnews.com/entertainmen... (And featuring what I thought was a long lost photo of me sweating my 22 year old ass off the night Animal Collective showed up)

The line is still active today, and has three main trains in operation, but nothing quite like The Zooliner No. 2, a 5/8-scale replica of the famous mid-century GM Aerotrain.

Did you know the Oregon Zoo has the last functional mail train in the U.S.? Shortly after it opened in 1958, the Washington Park and Zoo Railway became one of the first recreational railroads in the country to have its own official postmark and cancellation stamp.
