My laptop is being cranky. I need to run a malware scan and make sure nothing’s amiss. If that doesn’t fix it then it may be time to wipe the SSD and reinstall everything from scratch.

Trash day is tomorrow. I decided to clean out the refrigerator, which was long overdue. I removed so much leftover food that I had to use a contractor trash bag so it wouldn’t burst.

Still no mail. Fortunately the paperwork I got from the dealer when I bought my car showed who the lien holder is. I called them and got the information I needed to pay my car loan.
Later in the day I received an email from USPS asking me to take a satisfaction survey on how they handled the incident I opened. You bet I’ll take your survey.

I have to say I found Ayn Rand’s philosophy laughable. It was a “white supremacist dreams of the master race,” burnt in an early-20th century form. Her ideas didn’t really appeal to me, but they seemed to be the kind of ideas that people would espouse, people who might secretly believe themselves to be part of the elite, and not part of the excluded majority.

I realized a while back that I was ripping off drawing inspiration from The Avengers for my D&D campaign story line. A portal opening up over a major city to allow extra-planar creatures to swarm through and attack is a pretty similar plot.
I think I probably got the idea from the opening cinematic from the Baldur’s Gate 3 video game, that probably lifted it from The Avengers, that probably lifted it from any number of sources.
Anyway, once I realized this I decided to lean into it. Recently the players found a ancient scepter that resembles Loki’s scepter from The Avengers. Does it contain my world’s equivalent to the Mind Stone like Loki’s did? I suppose they’ll find out.
