Here's your Nobel Peace Prize - oh, just one thing, to receive it, we'll need one explanation about each of the 9 wars you ended, including the participants, why they were fighting, and what you did to stop it.

Every new movie has people saying “go in without reading or knowing anything about it.” Feels like a truly great movie would still be great even if you’d read every spoiler, plot synopses, and twist.

If you reply to someone and don’t courtesy-heart their post, it is correct for them to assume the worst in your intentions.

My daily solo Scrabble game letters.wiki now lets you share your board - here’s how I did today: letters.wiki?g=IPpkETLKKk... There’s also a daily high score and you can see their board to get tips and tricks.

My MLB rooting decision tree: 1. Cardinals 2. Whoever’s against the Cubs 3. Lowest payroll 4. Longest time since last winning the World Series

I'm still writing 2008 on my checks and balances.

If you like Scrabble, or Words With Friends, but would rather play on your own, I made a new daily game at letters.wiki! Here's how I did today: WikiLetters for September 29: 🟨🟩🟧🟨🟩 (100) letters.wiki?seed=20250929 Try it out and let me know what you think!

I feel like this is just my standard conversation ability, no prior blaster shooting required: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qi4w...

iPhone feature - if someone near you is filming the same thing you are, it turns off your camera and tells you to put down your phone and enjoy the experience, and you'll get their shared video later.

@jparish.bsky.social Any chance you sell pdf versions of your out-of-print books? On the hunt for Game Boy World 1989!

@gruber.foo I like to use this as a health checklist to make sure I'm still hooked up right: www.google.com/search?q=%22...

I think the most pointless job might be the checkout clerk at the Hotel California. You sure would think they’d be first on the chopping block when the cost-cutting measures hit.

Some personal news:

Or “FLOpHouse”

Lyrics challenge, name that song from the ending fade out words:

WikiDates for June 23: 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 (8/8) dates.wiki?seed=20250623 WikiBirthdays for June 23: 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 (8/8) birthdays.wiki?seed=20250623 First day I’ve ever gotten perfect in both Dates and Birthdays!

If you were being interviewed by the @nytimes.com and your only goal was adding a word to @nyt-first-said.bsky.social, what word would it be?

I unironically love when Bluesky …s the middle of a thread and it’s mind boggling trying to connect the dots.

I've never understood TV Profiles. Do most people watch TV alone? Allow multiple selection: The whole family's watching. Just my wife & I are watching. Now it's just me. This and other features often feel like the result of developers largely being young people who live in a house with roommates.

Instagram but every post is required to be an actual photo from your personal phone camera

Software paid for by tax dollars should be open source. Period.

I have neither patience nor understanding.

All set for Eurovision!

The tornado just missed us, but the neighbor’s whole house blew over.

@gruber.foo re: x.com/dhh/status/1... ChatGPT's full of it, right? No Apple acknowledgment in '23. No reporting of it in iOS 17 & then in iOS 18, implying Apple knew but didn't care or couldn't fix it. It feels like this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_... A UI issue, sure, but basically user error.

@andy.baio.net Thanks for sharing the new Bad Lip Reading. One thing - on your entry, you've got the wrong link for Bushes of Love (you repeat the Bedtime Thoughts url). Probably should be this one? www.youtube.com/watch?v=RySH...

@dieworkwear.bsky.social Who’s the worst person who dresses the best?

Finally, the Soulver bug fix we've all been waiting for. (Soulver is one of my favorite apps and I love that they care about this level of detail.)

Admission: today is when I realized Legally Blond was presumably a play off of Legally Blind

What is this warning me? (Wrong answers only)

Spoilers, but I believe this is the first time we've had two BC dates happen on the same day: dates.wiki?seed=20250424

I suppose I should celebrate my Duolingo milestone, though notably I’m still unable to write this message in Spanish.

My kid loves Randall Munroe's What If? books, reading them at bedtime on his (offline) Kindle. So I made What If?-style books from the @xkcd.com webcomics, with accompanying explainxkcd.com text. As pdfs, so they can go on ebook readers. And I put 'em up on archive.org archive.org/details/xkcd...

Prince of Bel Air (1986 Mark Harmon / Kirstie Alley) and Fresh Prince of Bel Air (Now Here’s A Little Story) Is there some connection there? Is there some shared older reference? This can’t just be a coincidence, right?

It just occurred to me everything we own that isn’t livestock is, by definition, deadstock.

Have you ever heard the ALF theme…with lyrics? www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpzK...

In the theater, right when the movie starts, just as the production studio credits begin, is when I completely forget what movie I am watching.

Trump Cancels Nintendo Switch 2 needs to be an immediate Democratic Party press release www.theverge.com/news/643483/...

We found this fragment of a porcelain dish in the backyard, presumably featuring Hansel & Gretel. Likely Transferware China from the 1890s

It's Al Gore's birthday! Do you know how old he is? How about Christopher Walken? Ewan McGregor? If you keep up with pop culture you'll like my new WikiGame, all about famous people with a birthday today: birthdays.wiki (It's especially fun to play on your birthday or anyone's birthday you know.)

Imagine the incredible good will if you sponsored the uniform for your local MLB team & then announced that your logo choice was to have no logo at all. To be the one team in baseball with no stupid sleeve logo. There would be so much more benefit to that buzz than what this dumb logo patch gets.

@siracusa.bsky.social I was waiting for it to start a new line. "Not the Mac Pro. Sorry, John."

I hope Lizzo remembers to delete that DNA test data

@profanity.accountant ok go

In case you were worried, Superman is doing fine. (We had a longer roadtrip planned but the storm decided to block all paths so we turned around in Metropolis)

Nice to see Bluesky get big enough that #stlwx works to see exactly what candy size the hail is

This seems like a reasonable request

I find tiles.wiki much harder than dates.wiki but managed to get a perfect score today: Today's WikiTile: 4 moves tiles.wiki?seed=20250310 4x🔁🟦🟦 0x🔁🟦 0x🔁🚫

I love that there’s around a hundred people who now have WikiDates as part of their daily routine WikiDates for March 8: 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩🟥🟥🟩 (6/8) dates.wiki?seed=20250308
