@lairdbarron.bsky.social has a wicked recipe for pancakes in The Beautiful Thing That Awaits Us All! The Broadsword used to be my favorite story of his, but only because I hadn’t read Hand of Glory yet!

cannot believe we’ve already been through four years of 2026

I hate it every time I see JD Vance trending anywhere. He ain't from Kentucky, he ain't from Appalachia, and I'm beginning to think he ain't American. In short, screw JD Vance. I've hated that guy since Hillbilly Elegy.

Blippi makes me want to commit acts of violence.

#podcasting folks: Has anyone tried out the new Podtrak P4Next from Zoom? Is it worth upgrading from the previous gen P4?

Man, that was satisfying. Can’t wait for Season 3! #fallout

*Plays Fallout 3: GOTY Edition for 20 Hours* Steam: "Here's a game you might like! It's Fallout 3!" You're right, Steam! I do like Fallout 3! 😂

@deepcuts.blog Did Lovecraft ever categorize his own stories or stories written by his peers as cosmic horror?

The new episode of @thecromcast.bsky.social covers William Gibson's short story Burning Chrome, a favorite of mine. When I was a kid, the movie Hackers led me to The Hacker's Manifesto, which led me to Gibson and cyberpunk. Check it! thecromcast.podbean.com/e/season-23-... @greatdismal.bsky.social

I re-read @stephenking.bsky.social's It and got nostalgic and sentimental. sentencestoastonish.blogspot.com/2026/01/grow...

I identify heavily with this illustration of The Great Goblin.

"It may be a union in name, but they fight each other tooth and nail. The lowly squabble over trifles. The great wage secret wars for power and wealth, and they call it government. Wars of words, and tricks, and guile, but no less bloody for that. The casualties are many." -The Blade Itself

Fallout is the best show going right now.

The capitalist dystopia sucks.

@stephenking.bsky.social relatable.

Trying to get my USB mixer into a mix minus setup on Linux Mint. This was a lot easier on Windows. I don’t miss Windows very often right now… 😬

@kentuckyweathercb.bsky.social about 3” on the south side of Lexington! Good sledding and snowball snow!!

Sold Gloomhaven! I wanted to play it, but it seemed overwhelming for me and my gaming friends. D&D is just going to be better for us.

In case anyone is interested, I’m selling a like new copy of Gloomhaven 1st edition for a reasonable price. ebay.us/m/OXHgj9 #boardgames

Happy Thanksgiving, Cromrades! May you be surrounded by family and friends today, may you see a feast placed before you, and may you hear the celebrations of your loved ones! 🍗🍻⚔️

The overwhelming dad urge to turn off lights in other rooms and repeatedly check the thermostat. I wasn’t always like this!

Anyone else want to buy Gloomhaven and throw yourself into the campaign but you’re a teacher in your mid-40’s and there’s literally no time? Just asking for a friend, obviously.

If we all stopped paying for Amazon Prime I wonder how things might change.

Yes you’ve played some difficult videogames of course but have you ever ever beaten Zelda 2? #videogames

The older I get and the more time I have to think about it, the more certain I become that Final Fantasy VI is the best in the series and one of the best narratives you can find in video games. #finalfantasy #videogames

They did it everyone! They explained autism!

A little late to the party here but #eldenring is a gorgeous game!

Next game: trying to choose between The Witcher 3, Elden Ring, and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom. #videogames

I always loved this cover, from Reign of the Supermen.

How do you choose what #videogame to play next? #videogames

I did it! Salt and Sanctuary Complete!

Video game progress: Salt and Sanctuary, Final Boss, Greatsword Mage, level 92, wielding fully upgraded Black Widow Greatsword and Rowan Crosier staff, equipped with Lightning Barrage and Dragonfire. Boss is tough!

Stop complying in advance!!

Current #videogame progress: Salt and Sanctuary on Nintendo Switch. Playing a greatsword wielding mage, which has been a ton of fun. I like the platforming well enough, and some of the bosses are awesome looking. I just reached the Ziggurat of Dust.

Nickelback rocks. I said what I said.

Currently playing Salt and Sanctuary by Ska Studios. What a fun experience. I typically don’t like Souls like games but S&S is a side scroller Metroidvania game too. The soundtrack is elemental and moody, the art is amazing and horrifying. It’s awesome! #videogames

No Kings. #nokings #nokingsday

Finally, an easy way to explain the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek: One has Werner Herzog demanding a magic baby The other has David Cronenberg explaining cosmic science politics

The square shape goes into… that’s right. The square hole.

Fixing two chickens on the smoker today. 🍗🍗

It’s official! I finished my Gifted and Talented certification coursework and passed the Praxis! ✅ #teaching #education

What is your favorite flavor of Call of Cthulhu? 1920’s? Delta Green? Trail of Cthulhu? Cthulhu Dark? Pulp Cthulhu? #callofcthulhu #ttrpg

Now’s as good a time as any to start my midlife crisis.

Classic Cal.

Pete Hegseth won’t stop texting me state secrets. 😂 What a world.

Holy crap the antler queen from Yellowjackets freaks me out to my core.

Happy ides of March
