Does anyone have any good idioms for "changing an ongoing plan on-the-fly in response to new information"?
I've picked up "calling an audible" from IDEOTV but the sports metaphor doesn't fit in my mouth quite right.
Oh that's actually a common misconception. "Harry Potter" is the name of the character. The series is called "JKR's Monster".

hot take about distopias and capitalism
Distopias are everywhere nowadays, in fiction.
I think it's because it is a tool to navigate what's wrong with our world today. Painting a distopia is a way to point at what is problematic around us or where we're going.
But I think there is something else too. Critique of capitalism is everywhere. You can even see it in mainstream media. Capitalism is fine with it. What it can't stand are alternatives. ⬇️

"Galactic Community: Oh no, a giant cylinder is destroying Earth, what will we do?
Kirk: I’m gonna take this stolen Klingon Kia that we barely know how to fly and was dispensing poison food up until last week, and I’m gonna time travel into the past convince some whales to come back with us, abduct a marine biologist, and let the two crew drunks change the course of history by giving out futuristic tech. So no worries, right?"

cannabis! (Input requested!)
Hi friends!
Does anyone have suggestions for their favorite kelp strain for cuddliness/sexiness? And if you have a different one for each of those, I'd be super interested to hear about that too!

I wonder how we'd explain the concept of "cute" to aliens...
"aww, isn't he cute!"
"what?"
"over there, he's adorable!"
"human, that's an apex predator that routinely kills and eats mammals far larger than you"
"his box was too smol but he still sits!"
"fucking humans"
One thing I love about Jupiter photos from Juno is that something about the way photos are graded really communicates that the light is *dim* out there
Today's beautiful word of the day is: spindrift -- fine particles of water or snow blown by strong winds.
(also apparently it's the name of a canned drink now, which makes me sad because I don't want brands selfishly claiming good words.)
SPACESUIT TAILS.
The one I keep coming back to is "Pillar of Autumn" from Halo 1. Something about that name is just perfection.
But the new fast-upcoming contender is "Weeping Somnambulist" from The Expanse.
Okay y'all!
What're your favorite spaceship names (that aren't from Ian Banks)?

drugs
A young man discovers that he has the ability to understand and communicate in any language - but only when he’s high.
When aliens land on Earth to make first contact, will the government set aside its hard-line drug policy to recruit him? Will he introduce the aliens to Doritos and Taco Bell? And where will he get enough bud to last through the negotiations?

Tabletop RPG theory time!
When do you think something should be an explicit game mechanic, as opposed to being handled narratively?
Not gonna get the rainbow sign done this evening because the middle plate is gonna take three hours of laser cutter time :)
