I had a great time at my LGS Reality Fracture prerelease. My store held 2 events last night, 6:30 and 10:30. They cap attendance at 80 people each. The early one sold out, and the late one was well-attended. I'm looking forward to Nauctis.

Hot dang, John Moe. This thread was a JOURNEY.

Some personal news: Yesterday was my last day at the New York Times. I’ll always treasure my memories of yelling STOP THE PRESSES and demanding more sources. Even it was just for a few minutes. It was also my first day. But now they say it didn’t count because I was “never an employee at all, sir.”

I went to the prerelease at my LGS tonight. They normally run 2 events the Friday of the prerelease, at 6:30 and 10:30. Each event is capped at 80 players. This was the first time the 10:30 event was sold out. In recent previous events,there was a question about whether the event would fire.

I went to my 30th high school reunion this weekend. As expected, there was some political discussion. A couple identified as Trumpers, so I asked what the bare minimum they wanted out of a government was. My answers: stability and a peaceful transfer of power. They disagreed on point 2.

I enjoy NFL football. I enjoy talking about NFL football. There are only so many ways to say "great football player," and I think more people should avoid saying "beast" or "monster" when describing players. I think it's dehumanizing and should be avoided.

There are three major problems in US politics, and they can be boiled down to the Money, the Maps, and the lack of a federal resign-to-run law. Specifically, we're talking dark money, gerrymandering, and a crowded two party presidential field of candidates.

You are up to date.
