No NL West pennant, and it looks like the Dodgers will go up against the St. Louis Cardinals and their devil-magic in the wild card game.

Big economic news for the Commonwealth today. Ford is going to build new factories to produce batteries and electric vehicles, and the battery plant is going to be built a few miles down the road in Hardin County. It's going to employ about 5000 people, plus the construction work, highway and rail expansion, and the inevitable support and supply plants. This may be bigger than Governor Collins landing the Georgetown Toyota plant back in the 80s.

Archon's this coming weekend, and I was going to run some Trail of Cthulhu, but that isn't going to happen. So, I decided that I'd convert the con investigations into a short campaign, maybe for some of my locals. But losing Mom just knocked my interest in existential horror flat. Mom was always hopeful, and Mom was home. So, I'm going to run something that has a streak of hope, and I'm going home to Night City. Cyberpunk Red this weekend.

Going to Liberty next week, for the first time since the funeral. I'm the executor of both wills, and this is just going to be signing forms and the like.

Kentucky holds its elections for statewide office in odd-numbered years, for some goofy reason. Our primary was last week, and the results were surprising. On the Democrat side, state legislator Rocky Adkins took off to a heck of an early lead, and for a little while, I started asking myself if my "anybody but Bevin" stance would include an anti-choice candidate who's pretty deep in the pockets of coal companies. My preferred candidate, former State Auditor Adam Edelen, made a good showing, but ultimately placed second to current state AG Andy Beshear. Beshear's the son of our previous governor, and has vigorously opposed Bevin's worst excesses. Bevin himself won with just a little over half of the Republican votes - another state legislator put up a hell of a fight. The Republican candidates for AG ran campaigns trying to convince voters that they were more Trumpy than their opponent - so come November, fuck that and let's hope that Greg Stumbo makes a good enough showing.

I'm hopeful that the overall voter turnout (while much lower than it should have been) is a sign of things to come. About 125K more Dems showed up to vote than the other guys. If that kind of turnout happens in November, we can hopefully get Bevin out of office and start unfucking things. Kentucky is really good at voting against its own best interests, though, and, well, Democrats fall in love while Republicans fall in line. Knowing that, I'm bracing for four more years of the nation's most unpopular governor.

Tried something different for an Armada event on Saturday - fleets built at half the standard point allotment. It was a good experience - played on 3'x3' spaces instead of the standard 6'x3', so engagements happened fast. I went 1-2 on the day, losing to other corvette-centered fleets, and ... well, not losing to an ISD because my frigate and transports stayed away from the thing and my fighter squadrons took out their opposite numbers. It wasn't much of a win, but I was happy with it. We're going to use the same format for a casual tournament at the end of June, with large ships explicitly prohibited. Should be another good day of fleet combat.

Today is the first Saturday in May, and that means the Kentucky Derby.

145th Derby, and the first time a winner was disqualified - fast horsey got out of its lane and that’s a no-no.

Matt Bevin, the most unpopular governor in the nation, was loudly booed during the trophy presentation, and immediately hopped on his phone to, I don’t know, block the entire state on Twitter or something.
