Do you have a favorite decade of music? Which one(s)?
Nope. I'll happily listen to stuff from way back right up to today.
I often find that whatever someone will say was the 'best' decade of music mysteriously coincides with whenever they were growing up. What are the odds.

People have been memeing about this part of a flowchart from this microsoft blog about some bullshit github feature all day and it's still up at the time of posting.
So evidently nobody at microsoft has figured out how to fucking edit an image at this point.
To my mind the real prize in this diagram is the Timm line. (Alas that mere text can not reproduce that three-hooped m.)
Note that the new standard Git development flow evidently involves moving backwards in time, I mean Timm. Very impressive!
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms episode 5 is very good.
While convalescing, I read a new adventure that perked me up! Not #HTTRPG ... in fact it was fairly drenched in low-trust writing and focus.
But it was a "Consolation Prize," a medium-or-lower-trust design with some real, and deliberate, potential for diegetic gameplay.
And I haven't seen many of those in this century, really, which is why it perked me up. As a player, Consolation Prizes are what keep me from starving as a roleplayer. Usually, they're the best #TTRPG I can find to play in. 😅

I hate fascism.

Talk about the structural issues without picking on individuals: Eg @[email protected] had a great video recently on gap-1s, correlations bw extreme skinniness & fascism; people (esp women) taking up space, feeling joy & being harder to kidnap (!!) are not things fascism likes.

And when you go after somebody because of their physical appearance, probability is that you are hitting on larger structural issues like misogyny, fat phobia, racism, or any number of other things, intentionally or not.
