China's abandoning of its zero COVID policy (effectively letting it rip) was inevitable, and now Omicron is ripping through a population that if vaccinated, has the subpar local vaccine. This won't be pretty. Xi is going to need an invasion to distract from justifiable anger.

Musk, humor
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: if Twitter users are the “product,” then Elon bought a company where the product hates him. It’s like he bought a Cursed Doll Factory.

I wonder if Brandon Sanderson will end up finishing the Game of Thrones saga, as he did for Wheel of Time? George R.R. Martin is 74, and he's apparently got two books left, with the next 75% done after 12 years. It's not looking good.

If you’re wondering about Mastodon’s impact, Twitter is now automatically marking links to mastodon as “sensitive” (aka dangerous) and forcing users who get them to “appeal” the claim. In case Elon didn’t seem desperate enough for you already…
I'm finding it hard to comprehend that US pundits are concerned that their Supreme Court may strike down the protection for inter-racial marriage. I mean... what the f**k? They'd prevent people marrying, in our modern age, based upon their skin colour? That would be barbaric.

If you want to know how its going on Twitter, the banned journalists discovered Twitter Spaces doesn't respect bans, which prompted him invading the space to be sad and then...
Saw a trailer for the upcoming Dungeons & Dragons movie. I have to see it. I don't care if it's terrible! It looks promising, all the fantasy elements I could hope for.
Just back from seeing Avatar: The Way of Water. Absolutely incredible, visually spectacular. Over 3 hours but didn't notice the time pass. Doesn't leave you feeling good about humanity, though it does give us something to aspire to. Highly recommended!

Top 100 Board Games of All Time, 2022 Edition (20-11)
One of the fun things about this process is going through old lists I made years ago, and wondering what I was thinking. “Oh, wow, I sure did rank that game high. What was I thinking?!?” I want to stress that that’s because I was young and stupid then. Now, of course, I am old and wise, and this list is, of course, flawless in every way.
