I got in today at 4 and none of the top events my family wanted had available tickets around our price range (~$100 for most things). We knew some were a long shot, like women’s artistic gymnastics, but it was a bit of a bummer. Hoping later drops will bring better luck for us.
Just now seeing this, but thank you! It was a blast to write and I’m glad you all enjoyed digging into the space horror vibe. :)

The front of the Garry Marshall Theater on Riverside in Burbank.
Burbank folks - The Garry Marshall Theater is a drop off location for vital supplies for the people displaced by the fires. Their IG account has a full listing of things they need... We just dropped off diapers and feminine hygiene products and other items and there is a GREAT team working there.
This, and if I’m gonna spend money on a specific set of dice, I want them to be *worth spending money on* ie cool and different in some way
Hi LA County friends, just got a heads up through the wires and don't have a place to write it up so I'll put it here instead - the city of Rosemead is providing free N95s and KN95s to the public which can be picked up at the Rosemead Chamber of Commerce on Muscatel Ave between 12-4pm today...
Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s part of it for some people. I want PRETTY dice and there are a lot fewer options if you’re not playing with a standard set type
everyone in LA just had two straight heart attacks, it’s fine

A poem for my last day working at the writing center for the semester (by Joseph Fasano)

THREE HOURS A DAY
This entire shelf of off-brand cereals sounds like an old English army Major, trying to find a euphemism for gay men.
“The rules make it clear this applies to the Purchase action, but you used the Subscribe and Save activity, which is not the same!”

The capitalization on this mailer from my credit card company makes me feel like I’m playing Pathfinder.
AI people always act like it's a triumph of technology when people relate to a digital avatar or bond with a chatbot, but that's not the technology, that's us.
It's what we do.
If you called a sidewalk Walky McSidewalk and gave it a two-line bio and a supposed hobby, people would walk around it.
Ooh nice. I have a bit of a drive to the beach so I don’t go as often as I probably should
Your campaign slogan is your last name and the last text you sent:
DiMarco: “oh no” indeed
It's a sliding glass door in a kitchen and on one side there's an empty box but it is lying on its side so that it's open. Face is tipped over. Then outside there is a cat sitting outdoors, looking inside, but the way the picture is composed the reflection of the box superimposes on the cat. So in one of the reflections it looks like the cat is in the box and the other box is empty
Ladies and gentleman and vastly more interesting genders: we got him. We finally caught Schrodinger's cat.
Definitely feels that way to me
