Goddamn. What a sobering and poignant piece of conceptual art. What an amazing artist.

I have no evidence to support this, but I've long thought they gave him enough provisions to support his bad math for how long he thought it would take to sail around the world, gave him crews no one would miss, and thought, "See ya never!" It was history's worst joke he found land AND came back.

I'm a graphic designer but when represented in film I'm either a quirky artsy stereotype who Follows Her Own Style or a Type A advertising junior exec with drive but no creativity but for sure A Man Will Fix Whatever's Wrong With My Life.

Oh, I meant locally! Normally I hear about what Ft Knox has planned for their annual Army birthday celebrations, but the fact I heard NOTHING this year makes me think they weren't allowed to make any big plans of their own once the orange chicken decided he had to have his "perade".

And also apparently only the protests that happen in the largest cities and seats of power matter because nowhere else means anything to the people in power. I've seen some of the terminally-online anarcho-leftists rolling their eyes at small town turnouts in deep red states.

I live near Fort Knox, and the Army birthday is a big celebration every year. I KNOW they must have originally had a big event planned for this year, but I heard NOTHING, which makes me think they weren't allowed.

Yep. A teen from Bowling Green KY with legal status was detained by the American Gestapo last week along with his father, and that brought 1500 people out in protest in that city this morning.

Elizabethtown KY #NoKings This span is ~450 ft and protestors are generally 2 deep, so it's 200 or more people despite the pouring rain.

Google Cloud server stuff, but I swear these shenanigans happen more and more often. My normally very reliable locally-owned ISP was down for hours yesterday after an accident involving a semi and a utility pole, but I thought they had multiple redundancies in place to AVOID such a thing.

The Mouse Catcher. Mercury kept trying to sit on my work computer mouse so I deployed decoys. In this picture, he's lying on TWO wireless mouses with a third in front of him.
A black cat lies on top of a computer desk backlit by a monitor. The Logitech logo of one computer mouse is barely visible beneath his chest, while another wireless mouse rests nearby, presently unmolested by the cat. There is no sign of the the third wireless mouse mentioned in the post.

It was a grand old building, but no amount of sage will cleanse it now. Probably best to burn it, raze it, and start all over. Same goes for the Constitution, too. I have notes.

Sweet boy Burz continues to heal well. His stitches are purple, which is his favorite color anyway, and his fur is growing back in nicely. He's also SLIGHTLY less grumpy toward psycho-boy Merc, which is probably mostly because Burz feels better in general with that sore eye gone.

Until I shared it them this weekend, members of family were previously unaware of one of my favorite Will Rogers quotes, so now I will make sure to share it with you all: "I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat."

After the stitches come out/dissolve, I may make him a little eyepatch and see if he'll wear it. He might if it's purple!

And THANKFULLY I have pet insurance, so I should get reimbursed for some of what I spent on my sweet boy. Burry's got peach fuzz coming in and it's all healing nicely. And as much as he likes purple, he's probably loving his badass stitchery.

I didn't mind Biden being old because I knew he was surrounded by competent people with a capable VP ready to step in if anything happened to him. The only part of the above statement that applies to the current administration is that the FOTUS is also old.

He's MUCH happier now that he's home, poor baby. The vet and techs are, too: their lives and limbs are no longer under constant threat.

Despite otherwise participating in today's economic blackout, I'll be writing a huge check for my boy Burz's eye surgery; he had his left eye removed yesterday and has been terrorizing the vet's office ever since with his GROMPY self. Poor baby.

The taproom from when they first entered it, and after the work crew came in to remove all the broken furniture and fixtures. Most of the cobwebs are still in place because they're an illusion and the players still haven't discovered the source of the magic or how to alter it.

Sounds fun! I've been working on a renovation of Trollskull Manor from the Dragon Heist module with my party: first was the run-down version full of broken furniture an cobwebs, now we're at one where all the broken furniture has been removed, and next we'll move to one where repairs have been made.
