We could really use that income at the state level.

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.

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.

Williamson County will no longer offer countywide voting sites on primary Election Day Countywide voting will still be in place during the two weeks of early voting, but voters will have to go to their assigned polling location if they plan to vote on Election Day for the March 3 primar...

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.

I think Connect Oregon funds capital projects, not operating funds.

I'm pretty sure that the "Criminal Encounter" exam was replaced with the "How to be a criminal during an encounter" tutorial.

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.

"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.
