Art commission! I'd like to have a faux-baroque or earlier style portrait of a cat. You know, looks like an old oil painting at a glance, look at it a bit longer and it's a dignified cat instead of a human.

I'd be willing to pay a sum of money for the completion of such, and then be happy for you to slap it on any of the art printing websites for your own use, for other people to buy as well. I just want a poster to put in a frame!

Please boost. More details below.

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.

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.

@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".
