We could really use that income at the state level.
If only there was a group of concerned citizens who might submit an initiative petition to those governing groups...
Then I ordered several sets for testing, and with the help of family and friends we've tried various ideas for rules and game mechanics. I've landed on two that I like and will be showing the prototypes to local disc golfers at stores and tournaments.

Game box, blue counters and 18 disc golf history trivia cards on a table, arrayed in chronological order.
I haven't posted about Chain of Events in a long time. I built the game up to 464 events, found a box that's a little bit smaller than the round 1 prototype, and hired a really good artist to help with graphics and layout.
I checked, and I don't see it either.
New episode!
We go time-travelling as we review the Back to the Future series, plus two other time-travel favourites.

Did she lie under oath? Is anyone investigating this?
I found this article from @hcrichardson.bsky.social's March 4th letter. The Republican chair of a county says that they made voting harder because they could, and it was expected of them by their party.

Ethically unacceptable, I definitely agree. But there are so many more people on Xitter than BSky that for an agency that wants to reach people, it makes a certain sense.
In any case, I couldn't use the word BlueSky or a BlueSky in any post over there. They blocked the post automatically.
I still have an account over on Twitter to follow county and state services that aren't on BSky yet. I'll ping them and suggest they create an account over here as well.

Amtrak Cascades is funded by ticket sales and sponsorship of WSDOT and ODOT. This program uses funds dedicated by the Oregon Legislature. ODOT cannot use these funds for maintenance or agency operations. βThe United States and Canada pay for border security.
I think Connect Oregon funds capital projects, not operating funds.

Never been more thankful for organizational incompetence.
But Trump doesn't read?
I'm pretty sure that the "Criminal Encounter" exam was replaced with the "How to be a criminal during an encounter" tutorial.

Wow.
Federal officers deployed tear gas in a clear overreaction at a recent protest outside the ICE office in Portland, a Portland police supervisor said.

I propose an international law that once you become personally responsible for the murder of 1,000 people, be it via direct violence or policy, you are declared a dragon and adventurers can form parties to quest against you.
This Valentine's Day, why not snuggle up with a loved one and read my long damn post about "AI" and some of my current thoughts about where it's at, where it's going, and how much anyone should engage with it? Best Valentine's Day ever!

Been using this blocklist for awhile now and it's wonderful. A return to a better internet. Highly recommended.
"Water can't kill people. Humans are like 70% water. We need water to live. It literally falls out of the sky." The sheer ignorance and denial of science is staggering.

They declared a riot and tear gassed everyone over it.
