Sooo, I'll probably make the switch over to that Bsky/Azure Air/Cerulean Cloud/whatever place soon. Just for reference:

It's me, your friendly neighborhood editor, here to remind you that sometimes when you have the urge to write "suddenly" what you really want is a paragraph break.

notice how this is ACTUAL TANGIBLE WRITING ADVICE and not just talking about people like they're unintelligent for doing something you dislike.
Here in the United States, most Millennials and younger generations have no savings. Social Security will not be enough to save them. This will destroy the economy on a level that will be unheard of. And that's not even getting into energy, fish stocks, climate change, etc.
All these years later, and the TNG ambience video is still one of my favorites for background noise.

American black bears are busy preparing for winter, eating high-calorie foods like pinecone seeds and acorns throughout the parks. Please give them plenty of space—allowing bears to eat natural foods with minimal disturbance helps them stay healthy for the season ahead.
If you spot a bear while driving, slow down, and if you would like to observe it from a safe distance, pull completely into a designated parking area or turnout to avoid traffic jams and collisions. Please only observe for a short while so that bears do not become habituated to human presence.
Remember to follow all proper food storage and trash disposal guidelines while visiting the parks to keep our wildlife safe and healthy.

We mourn the passing of Patrick Stewart, who inspired countless individuals at NASA (and beyond) to boldly go where no one has gone before.

You're human, not a machine. Everyone has to take a break, step back, and breathe sometimes. I stopped reviewing games for 6 years because so many things went wrong with my life IRL, and I was so disillusioned with the industry. I eventually came back when things calmed down.
