Imagine being the whales from Star Trek IV. Goldfish arrive, but not like your usual goldfish. They telepathically communicate with you that they're really sorry, but in the future, goldfish kill all humans, and now they're paying for it, and would you mind please coming with them to repopulate the future earth?

Haven't heard back from the California Assembly on AB 1043 yet, but I did have a very helpful discussion with Rep. Paschal's office about the Colorado age-attestation bill: https://aphyr.com/posts/408-colorado-sb26-051-age-attestation

Just finished the "Epilogue". I think this is the best writing/worldbuilding I've ever seen from a game. Intensely moving.

Every few years pandoc or xetex changes something and I launch myself back into the maelstrom of "trying to make tables work in multicolumn environments". I know enough TeX to typeset things, but not enough to truly debug it. :-(

Finally found the gas leak in the basement--or rather, right outside. It's almost undetectable, but diffusing through the wall. Guessing there must be a break in the buried pipe and that's permeating through the soil and back into the house.
