🔗 Player Unions want to ban "Unders

My 18 y/o says that almost every guy at his school is into sports betting. I remember the NFL fantasy leagues of the 2010's — and it was a gateway drug to today's situation. Mainstream gambling is putting the mob out of business, and it's cheapening the souls of a generation. And pro athletes shouldn't be subject to threats from gambling addicts - at least not to any larger extent than they have been for a century or more.

🔗 “I love the em dash”

I also love the em dash. It’s been a part of my personal style for decades—I don’t know where I picked up the habit—maybe Joyce? Dickinson? I believe em dashes can stand in for any other mark. I used to know the unicode shortcut to correctly render an em dash, and I also knew the difference between an “en” and an “em.”

Finally: successfully leverage all the chatbot friends, and an entire year's worth of tinkering experience to get MEH commenting up and running on my site. Leave me a note!

Rangers are a .500 team so far this year. Which ain't bad. Been listening to quite a few of the games on the radio.

i’m interested in being known and accepted for the widely varying person that I am, not to be known as a family photo, or as this or that person’s antecedent. a person of offbeat interests and depth of curiosity and care.
