@smartgo Alas, the burn ban is on, so just glow clubs tonight. I did do fire earlier in the summer.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

@smartgo I will do some (non-Congress-related) juggling in your honor tonight!

A 1D child challenged me to a "Baum prize" game (where players' ages differ by 40+ years). He gave me 4 stones and, predictably, was slapping me around with what was obviously a fraction of his attention. Miraculously, he missed an atari at the end and I won! Alas, it wasn't a rated game.

Meanwhile, pros are playing simultaneous games against up to 8 opponents. The mortals don't stand a chance.

Even more astonishingly, afterward the pro will be able to review all eight games from memory.

Good morning!

Things that are still true:

There are millions of Black registered voters, that want to vote for Biden, and plan to vote for him in November.

1) If 100% of these Black voters *are able* to vote for Biden, then Biden can't lose!

2) If 0% of these Black voters *are able* to vote for Biden, then Biden can't win.

Like every US POTUS election before this one, it all comes down to Black turnout. Which means it all comes down to suppression. Which means it comes down to racism.

Just saw someone wearing a T-shirt with faux shotgun pellet holes and the words "I went hunting with the vice president and all I got was this lousy T-shirt."

In case you don't already know, Does The Dog Die is a great resource for people with PTSD, phobias, eating disorders, or other conditions that make trigger warnings useful.

A lot of people are reluctantly supporting Biden but don't have any specific reasons to like him. There is a constant wail of how Dems barely hold the line while Reps actively destroy things. I think this narrative was correct for Clinton & Obama but is totally wrong for Biden. People don't see how different this government has been. Here is a thread of some of the things Biden's govt has done.

If someone sold a shirt that said

MASTODON
Just say no to enshittification

I'd probably buy one.

Just met someone IRL who said he'd been following me on BlueSky.

I am not on BlueSky.

(He later allowed that he used to be on Mastodon, so that might have been it.)

They say video games have no practical uses but I just stayed completely dry walking past a bunch of rotating sprinklers by watching the patterns >_>

@tayfonay Also, they have to scrape HMS off all the navy ships and paint HMS instead.
