Big manager decided that our dept had been not using enough holiday days, so kinda forced all of us to take holiday. Then he got really angry with us that work wasn't being done and he slashed our budget, meaning we couldn't afford department essentials, meaning we couldn't do our basic tasks, so big boss yelled at us even more.

¿Porqué no los dos?

Probably. But if they don't get it here, they'll find it elsewhere. We shouldn't change things to mollycoddle people who are constantly seeking a reason to be offended.

Like their appeals to "basic biology", when actual basic biology is still trans-supportive.

A rice cooker, and a pair of clip-on earphones that I bought specifically because I like Persona 3, but turned out to be a really good pair.

We Are Legion (We Are Bob) by Dennis E Taylor. I'd never before thought that an immortal digital consciousness who can't stop quoting/referencing 20th century nerd culture and spends decades out in space could be such an entertaining character, or have real, human, compelling stories and worries. The rest of the Bobiverse series isn't half bad either. The audiobook is particularly well performed.

I love creating the bones of a world or a situation, then seeing how the party interpret, contribute, and react to it, then reacting to their decisions for the next session.

Also sometimes, making traps and BBEG plans for them then being able to pull it off (and watching like a proud parent as they successfully get out of the situation)

Labour is ultimately just Tories with different colour ties. Neither support LGBTQ+ people. Either way, we will suffer.

Oh neat! Being from the UK, I'd never heard of it before. Is it true what Riker said, about the unfortunate gastrointestinal consequences to consuming kudzu?

Sounds like a berry good time!

A pigeon aarakocra, who is a very caring matronly figure. The voice I chose for her is very light and airy and uses a lot of pigeon coos. It's always a blast to voice her and hear the players' amusement.

Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames and The Three Body Problem by Cixin Liu

I'm nearly at the end of it. It's very much a fun book, especially for people who like DnD. There's some great characterisations and fight scenes in particular.

Les Diaboliques (1955)

It really is. It's silly, hopeful, fun.

Smart speed. Gives dev ultrafast speed without Dev mode.

And that few year period when fatpeoplehate was a big subreddit. Or when Pao did something bad as CEO and got a much more personally violent reaction than spez has received lately.
