How is this not in Xanathar's? (D&D)
I'd like to take a moment to praise @orrery for the Eberron game they're running – https://www.worldanvil.com/w/the-destiny-crusade-literorrery – for being the sort of game in which our group has big plans but appreciates the little stuff.
The world has magical sentient metal-and-wood beings called "forged", and these comprise half the party (and slowly increasing). Our "base of operations" is a workshop where we fix up forged who've suffered damage that magic can't fix alone. Our characters live in rooms above the workshop.
And we have houseplants.
Can you believe that in D&D there are no rules or even mention of houseplants suited to the busy, frequently on-the-road lives of adventurers? These details matter.

friendship is magic
magic is just insufficiently understood technology
technology is knowledge
knowledge is power
power is energy over time
energy is mass
therefore, enough friendship concentrated in a single location can develop a substantial gravitational field and may eventually collapse into a black hole

Five Expressions to Never Use in a Sales Call;
* “getting jiggy with it,” too 90s for many prospects
* “cloaca,” not always but frequently pauses business communications
* “austrailopithicine,” limited appeal
* “bitickulantic,” nobody knows what this is
* “spears shall be shaken! Shields shall be splintered! A sword day, a red day, ere the world’s ending!” overall negative tone

In our latest corporate tie in our hero discovers he is not the only Hamburger Helper but merely one of many hand shaped heroes such as Hombow Helper, All Vegan Kale Helper and of course Surimi No Kaijo-Sha, banded together in the Crisis on Infinite Helperverses

Death, creator of the Konami Code, birdsite
"Programmer Kazuhisa Hashimoto, the creator of the Konami code, died last night." The 10-button code wasn't only an easter egg, but a pop culture moment, and the catalyst for deep design considerations for difficulty ramping and deviation from arcade to home conversions."

Being an adult? (cannabis, sweets, videogames)
I ran several errands today, and upon returning home I didn't immediately smoke weed, munch on cookies, or plop down in front of a roguelike, but instead handled a few household chores.
I think I may have learned how to adult!
I think I'll celebrate by smoking weed, munching on cookies, and plopping myself down in front of a roguelike.

Wendy Carlos biography coming
"Amanda Sewell's new book Wendy Carlos will be published by Oxford University Press in April 2020.
The 264-page biography follows the singular life and career of the Rhode Island native whose work on albums like Switched-On Bach and Sonic Seasonings—as well as her scores for A Clockwork Orange, The Shining and Tron—were crucial in bringing synthesizer music to the mainstream."
"Amanda Sewell is the music director at Interlochen Public Radio in Michigan. Wendy Carlos is her first book. It will be published in April in the US and May in the UK."

"I did nothing yesterday, I'm doing nothing today and I don't foresee myself doing anything tomorrow," the wizard agonized softly to his familiar.
Magical tomes towered around him, blank parchment was stacked neatly on his desk. Vials of components sat unused.
He rubbed tired eyes, tea cold beside him, long forgotten.
"You're still magic," his familiar cheered, "Even if you don't do it."
So they went on a picnic for the rest of the day.
Sarcasm about live music in a café.
Have I mentioned how wonderful it is when an acoustic guitarist decides that the only way to perform for a tiny little café is with excessive amplification?
And yes, his lyrics really resonate – as in, they distort horribly because of the acoustics of the place and a total failure to adjust the mixer board to account for it.
It's a real pity because his guitar-playing is decent enough that I could totally forgive his between-song banter.
And hey, it's a great opportunity to put away the writing I was trying to do in favor of trying very hard to focus on something visual!
Such a pity he's only here for a thirty-minute set....

It turns out there’s a National Burrito Day on the first Thursday of April. Despite this Google suggests National Burrito Day is Saturday 4/4. Thursday usually doesn’t fall on Saturday, but my friend suggested Burrito Day is actually a 3 day holiday.
This leads to suggesting that National Burrito Day is 8 nights long to commemorate when we thought there was only avacado for one burrito, yet it miraculously was enough for 8.
Not-so-guilty musical pleasure. (cw: chord notation)
It turns out that the way to my heart is through Sus2 and Add9 chords.

eugenics discourse, comics (link)
Re: the conversation from a few days ago, a post from a few days ago of an eloquent X-Men comics page on eugenics and jokes. The poster has typed up a transcript.
