- Cyberpunk 2020 was one of my most essential TTRPGs. And I absolutely adore the setting of Castle Falkenstein. I think I still have all the books for both of those games.
- So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already. When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world. Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him. cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Mike_Po...
- I have to get a CT scan done. First available day for one is 2/14. Uhhh...I am not getting a CT scan done on Valentine's Day.

- 1 in 6. Going to be thinking on that for a while.
- And then I had cold, dank tremors, wondering what @scalzi.com would make in to his own 7 layer burrito
- I remember him saying in response to "how would you change women" that he'd put their breasts on their backs so dancing would be more fun. I was a teenager and thought "wow, that's creepy".
- I wish we could exempt CISA from these DHS discussions.
- God it's so embarrassing (amongst other things, like shameful) to see this kind of thing...
- Baby's first trip to the urologist. Next one will be even more fun, it seems. Stupid getting older.
- Just subbed to the @dcbeer.com Patreon! Dunno why it took me so long.

- Maybe after this meeting I'll go to the gym... <meeting ends after 5 minutes> GODDAMNIT
- Reposted by SeanMikeit’s genuinely reassuring to me that this is the most miserable and paranoid person in the entire world
- I would complain again about Northside Social *still* not having cleared the sidewalks around their patio, but I doubt it will do anything. (I tried using their contact form but got an error.)
- Man, @wmata.com did a helluva job clearing around Clarendon Metro stations! Just kidding. It's sheer ice. They just tried to block off sidewalks instead of, you know, clearing it off.
- I donated. gofund.me/9fd6c759a
- I yearn for the day that my other meds are effective enough that I can stop taking metformin.
- IANAL, but I know lots of them, and this is hysterical.

If you have neither, pound the table. … Having neither and bringing the adage into the 21st century, [Noem] pounds X (f/k/a Twitter).”

- Seriously though when I read an Isaac Chotiner interview two things hit me: man, he is a brilliant interviewer, and damn, I never want to do something that would make him want to interview me.
- I kinda feel like I need to subscribe to the New Yorker just for @ichotiner.bsky.social
- Wrote the first seven pages on my capstone project today. That much closer to graduating.
- I'm a big fan of Kameron Hurley and highly recommend her work!

- Man that was a cold walk! For the most part, sidewalks from Clarendon to Ballston weren't too bad EXCEPT YOU NORTHSIDE SOCIAL
- Reposted by SeanMikeI hate living in the Asshole Cinematic Universe. “So the King of Pedophiles got the 4chan guy to make the Nazi board and that’s why the host of Celebrity Apprentice was made immune to laws by the Tradcath Illuminati. This has something to do with video game journalism, maybe?” Fuck off.
- goddamn this weather i am so fucking itchy all the time
- A question for @dcbeer.com and any other beer folks -- are West Coast Pilsners the current big thing? Or just popular at @arlbrew.bsky.social ? They have a ton of them! (I'm still drinking their 10th anniversary West Coast Pilsner.)
