"Most of the people who spoke to CNN about their texts on January 6 would be quoted only anonymously. Some said it was because of their jobs. Some said they were afraid Trump would be reelected. One said they just didn't want to go through "the misery of being targeted by Trump supporters.""

Trumpism is terrorism.

We seem to be moving into the "everybody has it but almost nobody is dying" phase of the pandemic.

Scheduled my second booster just to be on the safe side.

The winner of the Siva Afi giveaway is ... @julie!

Send me a postal address and I'll ship it out.

@vwbusguy @freemo Also into fountain pens: @librarianguish .

@efakaua @dragfyre @lightweight In the meantime, you can experience a flaming bit of Samoa vicariously:

@vwbusguy I believe @freemo is.

A very friendly squirrel.

Squeaked one out as black by 1.5 points (including 0.5 komi). We allowed each other a couple of huge corners and fought for the center.

Ready to draw a starship but don't have an inspiration? Have a crack at the Stella Sciuri, the PC's ship in my #FateCore campaign. It's made from two surplus submarines (from the water planet Ceto) with a structure connecting them, something like a catamaran. It can transform among several different modes:

For underwater travel, the subs travel side-by-side in the usual orientation.

For drifting in space, the subs rotate so their conning towers are pointing toward each other. The entire craft then spins, generating "gravity" that points "down" within the subs. (We are waving our hands furiously about the nauseating Coriolis force that would result from this.)

For accelerating in space or landing, the subs again have their conning towers "up" and the fusion engine (in the central structure) thrusts upward (exhaust downward), so "down" is correct inside the subs.

For launching, the fusion engine rotates to fire forward (exhaust abaft). In this configuration only, "down" is toward the aft of the subs.

Not only does each piece of a suit of armor have a special name, so do the various lubricants and polishes used to maintain them. These include greave grease and, for the hinge at the waist, mid-knight oil.

Top GNU.

Just two more days left in Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, which means time is running out to win a copy of my card game Siva Afi: The Fireknife Dance of Samoa.

Boost to be entered in the drawing.

A successful Session 1 of my #FateCore space campaign. The party has become involved in a 10,000 km ice rally (think Dakar) to win money to buy fuel.

Other fun tidbits:

They arrived on this planet with a cargo hold of alcohol to sell ... but it turns out it's illegal on this planet.

The uplifted capybara enginer has been convinced to take part in the race with the promise of installing a hot tub on the ship.

Another race team comprises the son of one character and the nephew of another. They were embarrassingly confronted at the pre-race brunch by their older relatives (who don't yet know what these young mean are *really* up to).

Multiple organized crime families.

"Are we space drug dealers?"

As a cliffhanger, an attack by ice ostriches.
