By the way, our apartment complex put up Chinese New Year decorations as usual. It is the year of the horse, and they put up an inflatable unicorn. That doesn't seem quite right, but it's better nonetheless. Happy year of the unicorn!

Justified. I could watch Boyd and Raylan forever.

Happy Chinese/Lunar New Year to all those who celebrate. I had to have two huge family dinners yesterday, and that's enough new year spirit for me.

Why is a senator even talking about Hasan Piker? Why is a (supposedly) Democratic senator appearing on Fox News? Please get this man out of the Senate and get him the help he needs.

Neon Indian's album Era Extraña was a fucking banger.

Oh no, what will the white supremacists do?

Many are saying it's the greatest song ever written. Magnolia Electric Co.'s The Dark Don't Hide It. youtu.be/3f2zTvPmK-k...

Anyone who can beat Hades without the mirror buffs is a total sicko.

Oh shit. I missed a Dayton game for personal reasons, but it looks like, no matter how things are going, beating Davidson remains easy. Hate to miss a great Jaiun Simon performance though. 11 points, 13 boards and 4 assists? Those are nice numbers for a guy returning from injury.

Anyone who managed to catch all the fish in Hades must have been a real sicko.

Shoutout to all my friends in Australia!

Finally! Football's greatest rivalry, Sac State and UMass.

Pretty happy with the start of Daggerspell, but damn, slapping of protagonists is clearly not frowned upon in the culture of Deverry.

I have no idea who Natalie Renoir and Bando Do Sul are and have never heard another thing by her or them. But this cover of Beautiful Things that I found on a free Black Hole Recordings sampler is one of my favorite songs ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=t44M...

This may make me appear to be a pervert, but I'm looking forward to VCU/Richmond

things are suck and im struggling with bills and debt again this month, if u can help a transsexual disaster sister out that would be greatly appreciated

That's 100% why I created leavesubstack.com -- got tired of re-hashing the points; wanted to make a simple 1-pager.

I think Saint Louis should be ranked a bit higher at this point. The A10 is a mess as usual, but they've been destroying teams in the second half.

The most emotionally affecting moment in Hades is when Dusa runs out of new lines. It's crushing. I'd pay $5 for a "More Dusa" DLC.

It's really cool to see Miami on national TV with Millett sounding like UD Arena.

Damn, George Mason's season is unraveling quickly. This is a Dayton-esque fall from grace.

somehow I get the feeling that if Mamdani had a nazi tattoo we'd have simply never heard of him again about 15 min after it was revealed instead of having to read a new piece every 5 days about how he's just a smol bean

Lewis claims "activists" have retreated to arguments from authority because the "evidence base" is shaky. This is gaslighting. The "evidence" hasn't changed, the political cost of providing care has. She ignores that this narrative was engineered by groups like SEGM and funded by billionaires.

Banned some shit reposting accounts from the Dayton Flyer feed!

This is one of the things that I think is most important. (I think more in terms of software development than other fields because that's what I'm most familiar with.) If you don't train people up, they won't know when AI is making mistakes, which it constantly does.

@lukeb0nd.bsky.social Here are my thoughts on The White Rose, which I enjoyed a lot more than the previous two despite my remaining issues. Got Daggerspell locked and loaded for my next read! bsky.app/profile/rawk...

WAIT. That's supposed to be Jasmine Crockett!?

There is SO MUCH fucking reason to doubt him. This seems like a deliberate attempt to stop the Democratic Party from getting better.

Anybody else like Kairosoft games? And if so, do you have a favorite? They're mostly very similar, but I wonder if there's one that's any better than the others.

I demand to see an apologia of Worf's terrorism on Risa. I fucking hate Risa. Probably the most annoying planet in the Alpha Quadrant, but that was pretty far out of bounds.

It's no 8/10, but 3/5 on threes is still really good. My guy Toumani stays hot!

You can put so much black pepper on something that it's actually spicy, especially five minutes after you're done eating.

Are Memphis fans talking about firing Penny Hardaway? I certainly would be if I were them.

Okay, I'm pretty bad on this. Liver, oysters, tomatoes (in their raw form), black licorice (unless it's the salty Scandinavian kind), eggplant, raisins, grits, canned tuna, grapefruit. So that's 9.

All right, I thought I was done with Hades, but apparently you can fight Charon? Gotta go do that.

Someday I'll write about a book I really love, and instead of ten posts, it will just be "Brrrrrrr, loved book, great book!" Critical faculties kind of shut down when I'm reading something like that.

Finished book 3 of The Black Company, The White Rose, and it was my favorite of the first three. Croaker was perhaps even more annoying than ever. He finally develops a personality, but unfortunately, it is cranky old man. More thoughts below with lots of spoilers:

I'm proposing a ban on yachts.

tell it to the hague, buddy

They're just getting a little less dumb and realizing this is unsustainable. Spreading out and kidnapping people across a broader landscape is a better model that will get less pushback.

My "we're not disappearing people and denying people their civil rights" T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

My favorite thing about vibe coding is how effective vibe hacking will be because of it.

Well, I guess the AEW fans are just going to have to chant Fuck ICE through the entire show.

Mewgenics looks . . . interesting. Binding of Isaac is one of my favorite games, but I'm getting really sick of McMillen's visual design style (it just doesn't evolve). And I also really like SRPGs, but I feel like I'd rather play FF Tactics.

Eventually you get to the point in Hades where no one in the house really wants to talk to you, and I'm like "Yeaaaahhhh. This feels famliar"

I imagine this is directed by arena staff not AEW themselves, but AEW should make it clear that this will be the last time they will visit.

Voyager S05E09 Thirty Days is such bad shit. Buck Rogers bullshit, the Delancey sisters, Paris's relationship with his father. Many of the worst parts of Voyager all in one episode. Also Janeway and the Doctor think that solitary confinement is fine. 2/5
