If people wrote me letters they'd say, "rx, quit with this poetry shit. We don't even know what you're talking about. We want gambling stories. Stay in your lane."

One night, while scouting the Las Vegas Hilton, I see him sitting at the bar playing video poker.  I haven’t seen him since he quit his job at the Monte Carlo.  I am overwhelmed with gratitude.  I want to thank him for changing my life.  My mom encouraged me to be a card counter, but he gave me the idea of gambling as a profession.  I approach him. He instantly smiles.

“Hi,” I say.

“Well hi,” he says, beaming.

“Do you remember me?”

“No. Should I?”

“I used to work with you at the Monte Carlo.  You quit your job to play blackjack and poker.”

“You’re not working?” he says.

It takes a few seconds before I realize he thinks I’m a hooker. Who else would approach him like I just approached him? It’s one-o-clock in the morning at the fucking Las Vegas Hilton.

I’m dejected but I continue…

“I play blackjack for a living now, too.  I got the idea from you!” 

I’m so excited to tell him this. It's out of character but I want him to know.

“There aren’t any good games anymore,” he says.

Now, I’m crushed.

He doesn't think there are good games. My team is already pulling in a million dollars this year.

He asks for my number. I don’t want to give it to him. But he changed my life.

I give him my number, hoping he never calls. 

Bluesky, the Twitter alternative backed by Twitter co-founder and CEO Jack Dorsey, has released its new RSS feeds. openrss.org reports: The link to a user's RSS feed is quite lengthy, making it not so easy to remember, and you can't really tell which user's profile an RSS feed is for just by looking at it. Here's the RSS feed link for Bluesky's CEO Jay Graber, for example: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:oky5czdrnfjpqslsw2a5iclo/rss. But thankfully, this doesn't matter much, because they're embedded on each user's profile on the Bluesky website. This makes each user's RSS feed automatically discoverable by any RSS reader app. You can simply copy and paste the link to a user's profile into the app, and it will find the user's RSS feed for you automatically. Some RSS apps will even allow you to get a Bluesky user's RSS feed simply by typing their username in the search. This setup also works well with RSS browser extensions. So if you're using one with RSS detection, it will automatically detect a user's RSS feed after visiting their Bluesky profile in your browser.
