Does your company value its employees enough to use good toilet paper or does it only stock the thin, cheap, sandpapery stuff?

Exactly one year ago today:

Wasn't Dice, Camera, Action in-house?

I don't like that we need to do a periodic levy vote instead of just setting up a permanent source of income via an income tax like a normal place.

But heck yeah, I'm voting for the library and schools.

This is huge: Katie Wilson's office just announced a significantly expanded schedule for Bicycle Weekends on Lake Washington Boulevard, after years of the program being stifled under Bruce Harrell.

In addition to more weekends, we're getting our long holiday weekends back.

Toast with jam is ol' dependable. From there, I can add-on eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, and/or sausage if I have time and material.

I also enjoy a sausage bagel w/ jalapeno cream cheese, but the good bagel place is a pain to get to, so I have that less often.

I had been holding onto mine so I could buy the books of the indie authors who are Kindle exclusive (and then rip them over to my Kobo). Guess I'll end up sailing the high seas for those now.

BREAKING: Following the American threat of an “Avignon Papacy,” Robert Kennedy has begun a Diet of Worms

Info about an account sharing viral video of the moon saying it’s Artemis 2 but it’s not, and that account is blocking people who point it out

Just in case folks miss this due to the block

a happy first contact day sign with a man waving Alt: A clip from Star Trek: First Contact showing a Vulcan raising a hand in greeting after meeting humans for the first time. The clip has been overlaid with the text "Happy First Contact Day".

Happy First Contact Day!

Agreed, but the 3rd Ave bus corridor helps a lot. When I lived there, I could hop on pretty much any bus and end up really close to the Central Library. Enough routes go down third there was almost never a wait.

More public toilets in space than in downtown Seattle.

This Artemis flight will be the furthest any human has been from Earth. I wonder who won the competition to be in the furthest corner of the spacecraft at apogee. Cause you know they track that stuff for bragging rights.

very specifically if you are tempted to pretend It Happened as an april fool's joke please go ahead and preemptively delete the post right now

was just reminded that tomorrow is april fool’s day and especially this year can we just… not, please

Every time someone new discovers Chuck Tingle, an angel gets their butt pounded.

Don't forget: This is out now! Looking for a rollicking space opera with Mass Effect vibes to get you through the weekend! Go grab it now!

Low-key great soundtrack too.

It's also a drag racing strip at night. I live on 1st and the revving engine noises every night are driving me towards moving.

Great, more cameras everywhere. 🙃

I think you a word.

devs know pain when this happens to you

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

The Oscars is the one night of the year when my entire timeline gets hijacked by posts about something I don't really care about and I wonder if this is how people who don't watch sports feel when they open the app to see 50 posts saying DOINK

Vassal is used quite a bit by historicals.

Nah, its a moderately common topping. My local pizza place uses it in almost all of their pepperoni pizzas.

i keep saying it because it's true. execution aside lucas had a vision and something he was trying to say about the failure of liberalism to deal with rising fascism in the prequels which is far more cohesive than anything disney makes now with the franchise

Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.

They just need to embrace the full Xbox with D&D 360 and D&D Series D.
