My Dad died today in a room with buttercream walls.
There's a retelling of the moment where Odin gets swallowed by the wolf described as suddenly all the magic everywhere disappears and color just drains from the worlds.
It is like that.

Went to the park to battle some strangers. Took a foam sword to my left eye and a ball-tipped arrow to my right. On top of my two semesters of fencing at university, I'm putting these deaths in my Valhalla bank.

I love parentheses
(an aside, a secret, a shining coin of color or truth gleaming under a great lake of paragraph
[a luminous shell of electrons set valent about a dark core, the gravity of words nested within
{like a fine set of earrings framing the face of a girl you haven't confessed your heart to yet.
}]).

Ronda Rousey: All your victories, accumulated skills, experience, and inspiring story still outweigh this one setback. Whether you want the belt back or not's irrelevant. You're still the best on record, and we look forward to either more fights, or an awesome movie career, or both.

So relieved the majority (~60%) of Pima County voted down all the bond proposals. Vague language, pork belly contracts, short-term rubbish. And even if some of it managed to sound important (which it wasn't), you can't spend money you don't have on top of money you already owe. Bankrupt judgment doesn't solve bankruptcy.

XBox or Playstation is Coke versus Pepsi ... and just as irrelevant. Don't offer me bread & circuses with your trillions. Give me a real paradigm shift. Domestic robots I can lease to my workplace so I can have more time off or program to plant food or make goat cheese while I'm away so we can get off this grocery bill food chain wage enslavement treadmill that goes to death and we can instead retire early. Flying cars with safe hive mind autopilots so we can travel, adopt grander perspectives, and free will engage more than the programmed post-cathode ray windows in our homes. Game change it already. Imagine harder, world. Put that on your to-do list.
