01.02. Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective: The Baker Street Irregulars

Final score = 115. Perfect 175 for our solution minus 60 for 12 leads more than Holmes in another very satisfying case.

02.09. Ticket to Ride Legacy: Legends of the West

A much closer game this time in which I squeaked out the victory (143 vs 135). Coincidentally, 143 is now the top score for each of us! Across the 9 games we have played, @peterdrake is only ahead by one (5 vs 4), but the point differential is going to be a lot more.

Project Drawdown has advice on tackling climate change, but I'm concerned that one of the steps is "talk to any CEOs you know".

Up and at 'em, people! These thatched-roof cottages aren't going to burninate themselves!

Good god. My 6 year old just used the voice command for the TV to play Teen Titans Go. The TV agreed happily and brought up Guyana: The Tragedy of Jim Jones.

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth !

I hope to get to Black history soon, but I'm still working through white US history. There's so much of it!

Q: Why are Black people in the US so much more likely to die in traffic accidents than white people? Are Black folk more likely to drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI)? Is it street racing? Are y'all just bad drivers?

A: Hmm. I'm stumped! No one knows the answer to why this happens! Just kidding. It's racism. It's always racism.

Dear Fedi Admins of relatively small instances:

If you notice a new account on your instance has a seemingly "real" name attached to their account, it might seem strange at first, but do yourself and Fedi a favor and google that name.

There's some here that are scammers trying to impersonate famous people from somewhat niche entertainment media. Just this morning there was an account registered on a small instance with the name of a professional wrestler.

Thankfully this person had the misfortune of grabbing my attention (wrestling fan) immediately in my timeline and I notified the admin of the potential scam and we were able to mitigate any real harm.

You may not be so fortunate as this in the future.

Some even go so far as to attempt to impersonate lesser known athletes from other professional sports and try to get gullible fans of the team or sport to give them money.

Be safe out there and do your due diligence. It just might save you, your users, or other Fedi users from getting scammed out of their hard earned money.

Thanks for coming to my FED talk. PLEASE boost for reach. This is important.

@alice Have you read Chokepoint Capitalism yet?

(TLDR: The answer to your question is no.)

Suppose we have a little bit of time and money and a whole bunch of climate despair. How can we move the needle?

I'm reviewing my calendar for my triennial salary review. I'm finding entries like "Silkwood Shower" and "Mouth of Hell Opens".
