Finally did it. (Plus A20H on each character.) Ready for the sequel.

@JetBlue There are no updates even though my bag was supposed to arrive this morning and there doesn't seem to be a way to find the bag taken from me at gate check, even though I filed another claim for that.
English
@blargster We're so sorry that you haven't been reunited with your bags. You can see any updates and message the Baggage Service team here: app.nettracer.aero/pax/jetblue/au…

Somehow @JetBlue can't seem to find any of my luggage from my flight two days ago or give me any way to talk to them about it. Not sure how much I want to trust them in the future.

@zdch I was really excited when Google bought Zagat and used their system for a while (0=bad, 1=solid, 2=very good, 3=great), and really sad when they gave it up in favor of stars. I found so many good restaurants with the Zagat rating system.

Ran my first games of @BloodClocktower last night in Grand Brasserie during the 1000-person board game night. Definitely made some small mistakes but overall it went really well!
English
Definitely the most consistent bowling I've ever done. (Let's not talk about the other games...)

@brianwut @mattyglesias And it means not doing them if they won't make them more popular (banning LNG exports) unless you're really getting something for it (e.g. passing Obamacare).
English
@mattyglesias Political leadership isn’t merely doing unpopular things, it’s doing unpopular things in a way that makes them more popular.

I don't post these almost ever but this feels like it might be the best StS deck I'll ever have. Won most fights in 1-2 turns. From mid act 2 until the heart I took zero damage (and only played Wraith Form twice). Absurd.

Did my early voting. Mayoral ranking was Myrie, Tilson, Lander, Adams, Mamdani (because Cuomo is unsalvageable).
My voting was basically a slight tweak of the Abundance NY guide, which I'd recommend. (voterguide.abundanceny.org)
English
@mattyglesias Feels shitty to vote for someone so clearly corrupt. That said I am prepared to vote for him again if the Democratic primary goes badly.
English
Myrie is at the top of my Democratic primary ballot.

Citing “crooked politics” @zellnor4ny takes credit for @NYCCFB docking AndrewCuomo $1.3 MIL. Myrie was first to allege improper collusion btwn Cuomo’s campaign & his billionaire-funded superPAC. He says “Cuomo is for sale” & “exploits every loophole to serve himself”

Damn, I loved blowing people's minds with this trivia.

The last living grandson of President John Tyler has died. Harrison Ruffin Tyler was born in 1928 and died in 2025. His grandfather, the 10th President of the United States, was born in 1790 and died in 1862.

Really loved Andor. I'm sad that it's only two seasons because it is so consistently good. I'm really curious what it would be like to watch Andor having not yet seen Rogue One, as the show seems to make the movie almost a climax of the show. Just impressive all around.

Good morning for a run! Hit my (non-super-shoe) target pace exactly to the second. Still hoping my foot recovers enough that I can get back to halves.

Managed to go 4-0 at the Tarkir Dragonstorm prerelease today with 5c dragons and then got free chicken courtesy of @luisneiman. Good day!

@Jonnymagic00 Preferring Democrats isn't "propagandizing *for genocide*". There's a lot in that bundle and Democrats are the better option on most fronts even if bad (but less bad!) there. Of all the people to target, one who devotes their career to helping people is a really weird choice.
English
@blargster He most certainly did during the 15 months the Biden was engaged in it and Harris campaigned on continuing it.
English
Would you also consider a genocide a nightmare fuel horror movie level of terrifying or something to squash and belittle resistance to? (Also both are extremely American)
Zac Hill@zdch
This is nightmare-fuel, horror-movie levels of terrifying. It’s also wantonly unAmerican. Also gotta love the “totally obsessed with unilateral executive power, except when ah well nevertheless,”
English
@Jonnymagic00 FWIW I find your posts highlighting Israeli indifference to Palestinian suffering/humanity and describing their past atrocities (e.g. forced sterilization) much more effective at moving my views than repeating the word "genocide".
English
@Jonnymagic00 He doesn't "propagandize for genocide" - his saying that one party is better on most things doesn't mean he thinks they're right on this one. But "mocking" seems pointless/ineffective when the recipient thinks they're correct and there isn't any new contradicting info.
English
@holymolybazzoli @okman918 @mattyglesias I think it's just helping to illustrate what kinds of positions a new moderate Democrat might hold by using a clear, realistic example.
