    Did not expect to find great bicycle infrastructure in a tiny town in South Carolina, but kudos to Edisto Beach. The whole town is easily accessible by bike, almost entirely through dedicated paths and bike lanes. Even where there's only a dirt road for cars!

    My read on it is that Star Trek shows us the future we could have, and Star Wars shows us how we'll have to fight to get there. But a lot of people somehow completely miss the strong antifascist overtones of Star Wars, and stop either at "lasersword battle cool" or worse, "government bad".
    Screenshot of a social media poll post by user “the-unflappablewolf” asking, “Who would you trust more?” The poll shows two options: “total stranger in a star trek shirt?” with 94.5% and “total stranger in a star wars shirt?” with 5.5%. Below the poll it shows “99,421 Stimmen · Verbleibende Zeit: 2 Tage 23 Stunden.” Underneath, a verified user “thebaconsandwichofregret” comments, “No exaggeration, the vote split on this poll is hysterical.” Hashtags #polls and #lol appear at the bottom.

    This has to be some kind of human resources violation, right?

    Jimmy: Hold up, you're working for Tracy?
Nate: Yeah. I mean, all my experience is on the Front End. And they needed a Bookkeeper, so...

Jimmy: That's fucked up. I can't imagine having your ex-girlfriend as your boss. Especially that ex-girlfriend.

Nate: I think, it actually might be... ok? It's been a long time. I've changed, maybe Tracy has too.

Jimmy (deadpan): She hasn't.

    I'm at Con Nooga this weekend in Chattanooga, TN!

    In addition to several panels I do know what I am talking about for, I'm about to host a panel I know nothing about (Glitch Studios and the Rise of Indie Animation).

    Come see me choke!

    The retail employee trauma bond is stronger than time.

        (EXTERIOR, BREAKROOM, LOOKING IN: Nate is eating some deli food in the break room, as Jimmy approaches from outside the room.)
    Jimmy: Oh shit, is that Nate?
    Nate: Jimmy?

    (Nate and Jimmy do that bro half-hug half-handshake thing)
    Nate: Damn, you're still here?
    Jimmy: Where else am I gonna go?

    Nate: Fair point. There's not exactly a booming job market in Long Point.
    Jimmy: At least I'm not up front anymore. What are you doing back?

    Nate: Turns out to be a successful writer you have to actually, you know, WRITE.
    Jimmy: They do kinda imply that in the word.
