Ran my first session zero for Blades in the Dark last night, and proceeded to reflexively not follow so much of the advice in the book. It was still fun, and didn't ruin anything-we're doing an out-of-cycle game to finish up the first score. But wow, are traditional RPG habits hard to break.

I am angry to just now hear about "Haiyore! Nyarko-san", aka "Nyarko-san: Another Crawling Chaos". Cause it's a magical-girl anime except, you know, based on the Cthulhu mythos and the main character is actually Nyarlathotep. If you watch on Crunchyroll, start on season 3-for some reason the first two seasons are shorts released after the anime.

Highlight of Musk’s comment on Tesla sales:
"absent macro issues, we don't see any reduction in demand."

Inspired by this, I can now say that absent macro issues, I am the handsomest man in the world!

About two weeks in and I'm finaly rested up from Sakura Taiko Festival, an pretty decent event that my Taiko group puts on. Super fun, groups from all over the US. Video just dropped.

Just got in my character's Heroforge standee for our upcoming Agents of Edgewatch campaign. I'm pretty happy with it-the texture you see only really comes out in the photo. Also, surprisingly thick-the figure is about as thich as the base.

Finally rid of those wasteful food safety committees. If the food industry kills consumers, they'll be sued by surviving family members. Jeers to those liberals at Consumer Reports.

I think it's time we address the inherit DEI Wokeness of the English language. At some point the snowflakes decided to make English more "gender neutral"-it's time to Make English Great Again and regender our nouns.

A nice bonus of subtitles (at least for shows, haven't seen it for movies,) is when they give credits for a song playing.

A conspiratorial person might imagine that the very public murder of a CEO was orchestrated to bring the rich around to supporting a more authoritarian form of government. While I don't believe this, it seems foolish to believe that such an action wouldn't be leveraged to do the same.

I like listening to eclectic radio stations, mostly college ones because economics, but there is some public ones out there. Off the top of my head, my favorite is KSPC out of Claremont CA. Can anyone recommend any others?
