Took a while but I finally got the score above Balatro’s ability to display.
AI image generation brings our DnD campaign to life. What a world we live in.
I simultaneously hate commercialized gamification and recognize that it works on me. So here I am being motivated by an app that lets me “claim territory” by going for runs.
My wife sent me a Resy reservation to “join” and the confirmation language is amusing to me.
Highest Balatro score I’ve ever gotten. Still haven’t hit that elusive not-a-number score.
There’s something refreshing about a company not trying to squeeze every last nickel out of subscribers that I just appreciate. Props @dropout.tv (I clicked keep me subscribed btw).
Crossword is another conversation entirely given its use of oddly clued compound words. But hey, at least it’s clever.
Trying to email my Congressman this morning to say thanks for his vote on last week’s war powers resolution as he was one of the very few Republicans to deviate from the party line. Credit where it’s due and all that. I guess that’s not happening…
I had a couple mini solos today at our community band concert. Here’s one from South Pacific.
I just finished @mattdinniman.bsky.social’s Operation Bounce House. Between this one and his Carl series, it’s clear this dude is a master of entertaining and hilarious page-turners. But it’s the interweaving of morality and social commentary that make them greats. Thanks Matt.
I made a cake with somewhere between dos and cuatro (non inclusive) leches topped with asymmetrical strawberries.
@mattdinniman.bsky.social certainly has a way with words, especially when those words involve the expulsion of power tools from the sexualized neck hole of a decapitated companion doll possessed by a minor deity. God I love Dungeon Crawler Carl.
Now my family can track our annoyingly complex web of medication refills and changes with a bit more ease. Flask app in GCP Cloud Run with a Firestore DB and Identity Aware Proxy
Winning percentage being the same as the local area code means we’re definitely staying ahead in the wildcard race, right?
Classics and serious literature are great and all, but I love me a book that doesn’t take itself too seriously. Diving more into a recently found love of the LitRPG genre, I’m really enjoying Travis Deverell’s “He Who Fights with Monsters” series.
I have a very talented spouse. I couldn’t be more proud of her tackling a very tough 5 months of learning lines and songs to play Jo March in Little Women this past weekend.
publicly is just gamesmanship. It also shows a *shocking* lack of understanding of the strategic information space and the interagency process (especially the IC’s); highlighted by its assertions that Putin would’ve helped more if he helped at all, and that the report was written for the pres only.
There’s something I love about campy 4th wall breaks, especially in fantasy adjacent genres. A Friday Night Lights quote at the end of a battle with a marsh hydra is just exquisite.
I mean, shit's funny. My fandom of @dropout.tv grows daily. brennansamericangirldollshoes.com
