Anyway I was not going to Gen Con anyway but now I am SUPER not going. I hope this makes fewer people apply to run events but I'm also not holding my breath.

This is what happens when you move your convention to Indiana. (..."Brad wasn't that" 25 years ago, yes "wouldn't Wisconsin also" I mean yes probably "so in what sense is this what happ" LET ME HAVE MY INDIANA BASHING OK)

Event Attendee Masking Requests
As stated in the recent update to our Health and Safety information on January 10, 2023, convention participants will NOT be required to wear a mask or show proof of vaccination to attend or participate in any events or activities at Gen Con Indy. However, Gen Con strongly encourages all participants to wear masks and stay up to date on their vaccinations. We understand this may impact event plans for some organizers. Your decision to have an event presence at Gen Con in 2023 will not automatically negatively impact future consideration for space.
Event organizers and GMs who want to request that players wear masks while participating may add “We kindly request all players wear appropriate face masks during this event” to your optional Long Description. However, masks CANNOT be required for participation, nor may any other similar actions (such as showing proof of vaccination status) be either requested or required.

Hey Milwaukee. Can we have a discussion about how The Hop, in its current incarnation, is kind of bad? It's often slower than walking. It has almost no preference over cars. I'm not talking about how we don't have network effect but that its speed is a significant problem.

Astonishingly, I have been riding on bike trails in Milwaukee for nigh-on 16 years and have not been shot at even ONCE. There was that time I got a dirty look for passing on the right though.

An idiot GOP politician taking a cheap shot at the crime rate in Milwaukee. Odd that the GOP would choose to come to such a crime-infested hellhole for their convention. Hmmm.

Although also, records management hot take: laws requiring state agencies to notify the state archives whenever they want to destroy records are unenforceable. That's why you have retention schedules ( which, TBF, the departments here also did not have)

Both sides of the "debate" here are splitting hairs and I'm very annoyed. a) You literally can, and b) It sucks to do so and you're almost always better off driving if you have the option, because we have made a choice in this country to let passenger rail suck. Both are true!

Great idea for LA. This way the shoplifters can take the elevator down to Costco instead of having to steal a car and driver over to a store. Should reduce traffic congestion.

Classified Documents Found at Pence’s Home in Indiana

The story of all of this should be that records management is hard and archivists should be paid much more.

nytimes.com

The documents were “inadvertently boxed and transported” to the former vice president’s home at the end of the Trump administration, Mr. Pence’s representative wrote in a letter to the National...

Also, Stop Overclassifying Documents And Causing This Kind Of Story To Be Written Records Management Challenge 2023. And 2024. And 2025. And-- you get the idea

Maybe now we can just say "literally everyone in DC does this", move on with our lives, and let the archivists/RMs whose job it is to worry about this stuff worry about it. No? No? Well, an information professional can dream.
