Today is a good day to start masking again! 😷
Spielberg is demonstrating he understands airborne infection and how to mitigate it!

He’s outside at the opening of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art and he’s wearing a KN95!

A good respirator protects you and those around you.

Covid is not over and a mask is a great way to stay healthy.

Looking at #starfinder2e Tech Core, especially the Mechanic.

Robot companions are stronger than Construct companions by a fair amount, even beyond the fact they can equip weapons if you install that modification.

If you are a GM I'd honestly allow an inventor to have a robot companion instead.

Make this permanent. Starve him of attention.
BREAKING: TV pool will not be providing coverage of presidential events until further notice b/c of CNN's ban, pool chair and FOX News Washington Bureau Chief Bryan Boughton said.

I worked at Krispy Kreme in college and it was dreadful every time they asked me to turn on the hot now sign.
I get along well with my coworkers because we all have the same shit wrong with us. every morning right before we open up I announce "all right i'm turning the big light on!" and everyone groans

No one believes in small government. They just each want to make sure the layer above them is imperceptibly thin.

When we stop talking about climate change like it’s a political issue and start talking about it as a shared challenge that we all need to work together to solve, that’s when we’ll finally be able to start talking about saving ourselves.

That is our conclusion here!
My new piece with @katharinehayhoe.com is out a TIME, which highlights what we all need to learn from climate communicators:
“This summer of disasters has shown us that climate impacts are not political, and it is past time we stopped talking about them as if they were.”

We Need to Stop Talking Like Climate Change Is Partisan
Climate change should be seen as a shared challenge to solve together, not a political debate, write Katharine Hayhoe and Dana R. Fisher.

My Outlaws of Alkenstar campaign just started the last level of the AP and I'm working on stitching it into the second half of Age of Ashes. I realized if I nix the aiudara way stations I can actually repurpose a good amount from the first half.
