I know politicians are sending Woke 1 out to pasture, but it’s worth remembering that the desire for safe spaces isn’t fucking cringe, it’s a sober assessment of reality. With the Geller news likely to continue circulating, take care of yourselves and recommit to fixing what is so obviously broken.

Let’s be real: I watch GBBO with a bowl of popcorn. Cozy experiences aren’t inherently bad. It’s just that with reading, I get scared about valorizing something that, from the outside (having not read any more DCC than a page or two at a bookstore), seems less literature and more content.

As this article alludes to, part of what we’re seeing is the cozification of media writ large: the desire, in these times, to swaddle the mind. I don’t believe that to be literature’s purpose, and I worry this is not so much a gateway to reading as it is a separate entrance entirely.

I have one coworker who consistently comes in the kitchen to compliment my cooking every time I microwave my lunch. We all deserve a hype man like Linda.

Thanks, man!! I’m sure 12 years of distance swimming as a kid laid some groundwork, though. 😂🏊🏻‍♂️🙏🏻

First 50-mile week ever. No matter how the race goes, I’m really proud of my training. Two years ago, I was preparing for my first 5K. Now, I’m healthily building up to my first marathon. #running

Rain, wind, and my watch rebooted on me twice, but we got it done. 17 miles. Less than two months to marathon. #running

When they say you’ll be hungry all the time during marathon training, believe them. I need a snack after my snack after my pre-snack meal, which came shortly after my post-snack snack.

ICYMI: I talked with Jake on @criticalerrorpod.bsky.social about game length, endurance, and credentialing. While my mic quality was confusingly poor, the conversation itself (I think) is great.

Clamshell also ideal for quick stowing of the system. Me trying to pack up the S2 in its carrying case between the stops is a pathetic sight, I’m sure.

I’ve previously resisted because, with limited gaming time, I thought I’d want to focus on new releases. But frankly, fitting in some classics in short bursts sounds more ideal.

Taken to playing FE on the train this week, and the size of the Switch 2 is selling me on the desirability of something like the Retroid Pocket Nova. It’s meant to be used on the move. The Switch 2? Not so much. The moment that thing’s on sale, I think I’m gonna jump for it.

One tiny detail I find meaningful by pursuing this approach: Cai, mechanically, is MUCH quicker to amass renown and does so via acts of kindness. It’s a little cheesy on its own, but as a contrast to Theodora’s bluntness and shows of force, it promotes a warmth in the player that mirrors Cai’s.
