I recently turned 60 years old. Seems impossibly ancient. And yet. Even now, I find I can still learn new things. For example: It’s Jemaine Clement, not Jermaine.
Playing D&D with friends and inevitably we talk politics a bit. DM: "Let's focus! We are talking about the monsters we can slay; not the ones we can't."
