A year of talking to food founders taught me one thing: they're not afraid of the audit. They're afraid of being asked a fair question and not being able to prove the answer in time. The work got done. The record just wasn't ready. That's the gap we build against.

Got a copy of Light Brigade signed by @kameronhurley.com at #gencon, totally awesome! Hope the drinks on me were good. 😀

ICYMI, this fall @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social and I are co-instructing a banger of an intensive workshop! This is a great deep dive, especially for short form writers who want to play and experiment with their work. www.fieldworkswriting.com/breaktherules

I'll be offering both Cross-stitch on wood, AND tablet weaving for beginners at the October Red River Valley Woodcarvers show in Fargo, ND, at the Fargo Air Museum. As not *everyone* has an Inkle loom, I'm putting forth the current options out there...

This one gets me every time.

When you get a box that’s too big to be a picture but to light to be books and you find out @moryan.bsky.social put a bottle of Wynonna Earp whiskey in with your @romancingthevote.com pledge! I love it and am so thankful!

There's a German bakery that makes some of the best bread and cookies. I was saving the chocolate chip cookies for a special occasion and damned if this doesn't feel like a good excuse. Now, if any Etsy Witches are listening, I do have 4 more cookies...

Every CCP logging system works on day one. The test is whether it still works in month six. The fix is not more features, it is less friction. How to set up a CCP system your team will actually use: https://fourfoxes.io/blog/ccp-system-your-team-will-use/

Batch record problems are rarely about discipline. They are a system that works fine until it does not. The four that catch small producers most: unclear tracking, skipped calibration, the clipboard, the spreadsheet. https://fourfoxes.io/blog/batch-record-mistakes-small-producers/

Burgum: "President Trump won the war militarily. Then he won the war economically ... diplomatically, militarily, economically -- three ways to win a war. Trump won all three of them."

I spend a lot of time in Oxygen Not Included trying to keep my dupes from dying in stupid ways and peeing on everything, so if any world leaders would like tips on handling the U.S. right now, hmu.

Pressed Pour on the water dispenser which promptly displayed April Fools and did not give me my water. I’m too tired of tech oligarch bullshit to put up with sass from a fucking water dispenser.

I cannot recall a time in history when the average American has known the name of most Secretaries. To successfully staff the government with so many complete assholes and losers that Burgum doesn't even make the cut truly highlights what a bowl of unflushed turds we have now.

Yes, indeed, a thought experiment. A nation that can launch long-range missiles at another nation unprovoked is a terrorist nation. The United States is launching long-range missiles at another nation unprovoked. The United States is...?

According to multiple NYT sources, it wasn’t even military personnel at Fort Bliss that fired an anti-drone laser at alleged cartel drones. It was CBP who used the weapon on loan from DoD against a child’s party balloon they mistook for a drone. The Pentagon gave CBP an anti-aircraft weapon.
