Just got to my polling place 8 minutes before they open and there’s only 25 people ahead of me in line.

Everything was moving pretty efficiently, so I’m already out the door!
There were about fifty people in line behind me when I left, so not too busy. Based on the number of workers and equipment operating in parallel, I think the overall throughput was slightly better than one voter per minute.
It's a gray day here in Tennessee... a gray-ate day for democracy!
Go vote in the primary and local elections if you're eligible in a Super Tuesday state!
Mojang sent me these too late for me to wear them during Nashville’s mayoral race.
If you wish you'd ordered more HermitCraft TCG booster boxes during our first pre-order, get ready for our second printing pre-order window!
Pre-orders will be accepted between DCreober 15th and January 15th!
I've written up the details Beef and Creo sent us here: https://joehills.net/hermitcraft-tcg-booster-box-2nd-printing/
Saw Paul Gross play King Lear tonight in Stratford, Ontario. I explained to my fiance that my first thought of “he is good at the mouth noises” is indicative of my ability as a theatre critic.
Solid performance from the whole cast, and the set design was intriguing.
Runs til the 29th.
Strongly recommend.
10 out of 10 doctors tell me “I would never prescribe Pepsi.”
Just because the YouTube algorithm promotes videos of folks violating federal law, that doesn't mean federal judges will reward you for it:
I was super excited to find a payphone at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, but deeply disappointed that there was no dial tone.
At #PAXU and wanna play HermitCraft TCG or trade cards?
We'll be having informal meet-ups throughout the weekend and the first is happening right now!
We are at Tabletop Freeplay: table 51E near the DE3 pillar now and will be for about two hours!
I happened to be seated in Stratford Festival’s Studio Theatre earlier today when three goblins hijacked the space to stage their own minimalist interpretation of the Scottish Play—with live accordion throughout.
Goblin:Macbeth runs through October 28th.
Strongly recommend.
Sit in the first row if you can.
Everything at BNA is fully staffed today in anticipation of Thanksgiving travel, and it turns out that everything goes smoothly abd quickly when they do that.
There were two news crews setting up cameras pointed toward the security queue when I arrived at 6:30am, and when I walked past that nearly empty queue just now, one had already left and the other was packing up.
I wonder how many refundable runs I can pack into one Decked Out video!?
Let’s close out Phase 4 with some malfunctions!
The pre-order for the second printing of the HermitCraft TCG Booster Boxes is now open!
Order by January 15th!

@PeterRobison@nashtodon.com @johnpeden@nashtodon.com folks need to be able to buy them at the airport.
@PeterRobison@nashtodon.com @johnpeden@nashtodon.com The most reliable place to buy a physical card is from WeGo Central downtown.
The retail partner network pulls the cards from the stores when their interface with the QuickTicket servers goes down—which seems to happens just often enough to align with every time I need to buy one.
They removed the list of partners from the website during one such outage, and didn't ever add it back, which makes me question their commitment to that part of the program.
Stumbled onto a speed metal show behind the UPS store on Main St.
The UPS employee taking the trash out to the dumpster so they can close was very surprised to have to wade through the crowd with her huge bag of garbage.
I'm back from Canada!
Just left Niagara, Ontario!
It’s way more built up than the American side of the Falls we visited last year.
They have licensed patios!
