With Pam Bondi’s ouster, Todd Blanche is now the interim AG. Here’s our story on him from December: Todd Blanche Shut Down Crypto Enforcement While Holding Crypto Assets

A behavior that is both endearing and ridiculous: The way my father-in-law has always signed his texts.

Again, for the people in the back (or on the Right): "Antifa" is only the enemy if you're a fascist. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Not a bad birthday month of gaming.

Star Trek Voyager was never my favorite series, but I'm starting a rewatch (have I ever seen it all?). As it turns out, it makes for pretty good comfort viewing. Maybe I pine for the relatively simplicity of the late 90s, alongside my penchant for speculative sci-fi.

In David’s defense, the only reason he said that transphobes like JK Rowling are little whinging fuckers is because they are, in fact, little whinging fuckers.

It's been over 3 years! I am continually surprised by the length of time that can pass between plays, and I'd never played this pin, yet, so it was doubly overdue. Must take this out more #StarTrekSuperSkillPinball on 2026-03-30 with 1 player, score: 277 #bgstats #boardgame

Did somebody say German strategy game??? (Did I miss the hype, already?)

More #NoKings Grand Forks 03/28 rally photos (which I had to export from my "good" camera).

I was looking for something in my photos and came across this oddball: Noted restaurant reviewer Marilyn Hagerty eating what appears to be pizza and a salad in the food court of the old Memorial Union at UND, back in January 0f 2015. Probably Sbarro.

The NYT is being disingenuous here. The AMA has *always* said that gender-affirming surgeries should generally be reserved for adults. That's part of why so few kids get them! The AMA reiterated this position and the NYT is characterizing it as a policy change. It's not.

This evening my wife and I saw Project Hail Mary and, yes, it was a feel-good time. More importantly, it made being book smart look cool, even though it handwaved a number of challenges offscreen. Also, does anyone know how long he was out there solving that problem, from waking to parting ways?

Won #TheDruidsofEdora on 2026-03-28 with 4 players, winning score: 189 #bgstats #boardgame It was the grove/knowledge multiplier that put me over the top again, but only because nobody else got past 1x while I was at 4x. Need to play with not new players next time.

Gawd, this gives me chills. www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYf5... #KnightRider #1980s #TVthemes The composer Stu Phillips borrowed from "Marche Et Cortège De Bacchus" by Léo Delibes, from Act III of the 1876 ballet "Sylvia." It's definitely recognizable. I'll link in the comments.

At least we still have YouTube. (I had somehow never seen this true passion project until today.) #DoctorWho #humor www.youtube.com/watch?v=ege9...

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

Nobody wants to come here anymore is hardly the flex they think it is.

Gonna drop the gimmick for a second and explain, as a therapist. What you're describing is a phenomenon called Revenge Bedtime Procrastination. It's a subconscious habit that develops in which a person seeks dopamine-releasing behavior at night to exact "revenge" on the day which deprived them

There was one at my university that you could tap rapidly after you put in your fifty cents and multiple cans would fall out.

“I am political,” Ms. Rachel told me of her new effort to free kids from ICE detention. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love … and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border. Mr. Rogers was very political.”

The more the story elaborates, the more grotesque it becomes.

#HeardOnCampus One side of a phone call outside the Union on a chilly but sunny morning: "Yeah, my mom got a little mad at me for saying that... "Yeah... "But I forgot to take my meds this morning so I'm only going to one class today."

While looking for an old email, saw that I shared this with a friend 20 years ago, and it's still going! overheardinnewyork.com

Hot take. 2026 does not represent America’s 250th birthday because the USA began in 1789 when the Constitution was ratified. This is America’s 237th year. The Declaration of Independence did not establish a country. It didn’t even end the war for independence.

I'm so over culting.

This had a huge impact on me as kid, over 40 years ago. And it holds up! #TwiceUponATime #animation #1980s archive.org/details/vts-...

If you intend to watch this, probably not at work, unless you work at a porno store, maybe a head shop, or like a lawn fertilizing business, just make sure you have the space to give this sober treatise on the American law enforcement system your full attention.

My #boardgame collection habit has ticked up, coinciding with my birthday month, so correlate as you will. Anyway, here is what I have recently added/enhanced. 1.) Flip 7, b-day gift from a gamer friend. 2.) The Druids of Edora. Two days after my birthday, for $6 after MtG cards trade-in credit.

I just saw Walter Goggins schilling for Walmart. Is this life imitating art? #Fallout #Vault-Tec

Gotta love extremely localized mysteries. What the hell is happening underground?

First real game! I truly didn't think I was going to win (scoring 174), behind in bonuses, but pulling ahead late with a couple of big swings. P1 (100) had the highest dice rolls, and didn't much capitalize on them. P3 (160) had sooo many tablet points. #TheDruidsofEdora on 2026-03-11. #bgstats

ICE didn’t publicly acknowledge its fatal shooting of Ruben Ray Martinez until nearly a year later. Now, body camera footage appears to contradict ICE’s account of the incident. DHS must answer for its culture of secrecy and its lack of accountability. americanoversight.org/newly-releas...

There is no all sides argument for racists or fascists.

I really hope these people are brought to justice for their heinous deeds.

Had a really hard evening, helping an old friend who was not in their right mind. Patience and compassion to everyone out there who needs it right now.

Had my first (2-handed) learning game of The Druids of Edora tonight. It's the satisfying Feld experience as lauded! So many tasty choices (almost) every turn. Multiple paths to victory became evident when player 2's endgame points jumped from 30 behind to 4 ahead.

I feel like AI content zealots are just the first two little pigs.

Had a couple of "one scene" dreams recently. Last night, it was landing on a parallel Earth, needing my bearings to work out a way home. I was in some kind of warmly lit but spartan dormitory room. Its occupant was a young Asian man, "Jerry", who knew just a handful of English words.
