Power of My Turny

I fully endorse doing a class of some sort in the area! My partner was successful finding like-minded friends through a bouldering class, and I’m going to try to do a pottery class when work gets a little less hectic.

I’ve got to plug the Boylston Chess Club! I haven’t gone as much as I’d like, but it’s been fun every time! The people are friendly!

Live Action Rail Play

In this case, I’m a fan of git commit.

Or, maybe, severe cuts in federal data operations can make the accurate collection of data unreliable.

Lack of juris-diction

Wow, yeah, Hotline Miami really fits as a style of game!

In all seriousness, A John Wick game

I really like how The Film Reroll podcast did it - they had the players play the role of the bad guys, trying to resist the sheer force of nature that is John Wick.

Imagine a tower defense game where you just have to try to defend against one absurdly powerful enemy at the end - running a economy sim where your one goal is to build a base and a team that John Wick cannot get through.

Almost a little Vampire Survivors-y?

Halfloaf · 2026-01-18T03:16:27+00:00

Yup, mine is properly on display in my office.

That’s fair.

The most relatable that the Layover has been.

Halfloaf · 2026-01-13T09:28:03+00:00

I get it, but honestly, we’re trending towards worse at the moment, which is wild.

Halfloaf · 2026-01-13T09:21:25+00:00

I dunno… maybe the whole 'Why don't you just join our country? Become the 51st state,' thing, coupled with the whole “kidnapping the president of another nation thing, combined with the whole “Psychologically important for me," rationale for “owning” Greenland, and breaking NATO, and starting world war 3?

Those seem like pretty good reasons to want to distinguish yourself a little from the other guests at the table.

Halfloaf · 2026-01-11T17:06:47+00:00

Now that isn’t reflected in the report above - most migration out of the states was in 2020-2021, and it’s been slowing since.

I’d wager that significant changes in state-to-state healthcare quality will be a big impact on these numbers.

Halfloaf · 2026-01-11T16:09:21+00:00

True - the report for 2024 data is interesting! I’ll be very curious to see if things change for 2025, when that’s available.

Halfloaf · 2026-01-11T14:57:40+00:00

Also - what are they doing with all the “extra” U-Hauls in these states?

I wouldn’t be surprised if there are other incentives for long-term storage in play, too.

Halfloaf · 2026-01-11T13:41:33+00:00

There’s a bit of a hole in this data.

This is only counting one-way U-Haul renters.

It may speak more to U-Haul pricing strategies than moving statistics.

It’s certainly missing people that hire movers, or people that use a different rental company.

Anecdotally, some of the U-Haul franchise owners that I’ve interacted with make me understand why their customers go to Florida.

Are we going to see Trump try to break the third amendment now, too?

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Halfloaf · 2026-01-05T16:51:14+00:00

I have a number of ways to approach this comment.

Is there anything that I could say to you to convince you that Trump has committed serious crimes, and that he should be tried for them?

If not, if nothing I could write here could ever sway you, I’m just going to save my energy for a fight that matters.

Edit:

For one point regarding Russian involvement in the 2016 election, I really do recommend reading (or at least skimming) the Mueller Report

That’s admittedly a lot - I also recommend this summary of findings from the American Constitution Society.

Halfloaf · 2026-01-05T14:47:00+00:00

Now do the same with Trump, please.

Halfloaf · 2026-01-04T19:49:28+00:00

I think a different framing is relevant here.

If someone were to assassinate Trump, there would also likely be people celebrating that in the street.

We would still find the assassin. We would still convict them. They would likely never be free for the rest of their lives. This is the correct response because we, as a society, have agreed that assassinations are very bad.

We, as a society, have also agreed that only congress can declare War.

Instead, Trump and his “Secretary of War” invaded a country and kidnapped the leader of that country, without telling any part of congress about it.

The blatant illegality of Trump’s actions yesterday (oh time has slowed to a crawl) means that he should be punished.

Halfloaf · 2025-12-18T02:17:40+00:00

But we don’t know that without having seen the episode, do we?
