Mel Brooks having to bury Rob Reiner is against all laws of nature and I’m not ok about it

6yo: Come see the lights! I've been a busy bee! Me: Okay, I'm coming. 6yo, falling on the ground: Now I'm a FLOP-BEE! Y'all, I did not teach her that pun. She came up with that one herself. ...she might be my child.

Remember, investment children: If you mix up Dividend Yield with Dividend Rate, you're probably going to be disappointed.

Oh, look. That thing that everyone said would happen just happened.

Me: Go get ready for school. 6yo, offended: Why?! Me: Cause it's a school day. Go. -10 minutes later- Me: Also, it's a cleaning day today, so any toys you want me to not throw out have to get picked up off of the floor. 6yo: ... Can I go to school now?

Hello, yes. Today's game is, "Is this Lack of Motivation, or Perfectionism Paralysis?"

I know this still has a long road ahead to see if it pans out like it's hoped to, but this is "Holy Grail of Medicine" level stuff right here. Dear God I love living in the future when it goes right.

Proof of concept on the floor of the Ala Mhigo boss arena is far enough along that I can feel confident enough to move onto the rest of the room. Guess this means I'm going to have to learn how to pixel sculpt lions and griffons now. #FFXIV #minecraft

Just got through the autumn parent-teacher conference for the MiniMorv. She's behind in reading in writing, but catching up! She also appears to be a little ahead of the curve when it comes to math. ... yes, this tracks.

Me: Do you want Chicken in your Fried Rice? 6 yo: Bleh! Me: Beef? 6 yo: Bleh! Me: ... just veggies? 6 yo: Double bleh! Me: What do you want? 6 yo: I just.... want noodles on my rice! Me:

Realized it won't work well for tomorrow for various reasons after I posted. But soon.

Tempted to livestream tomorrow morning on a 'no voice, only vibes' basis. Thoughts and/or interest?

Fixed the off by ~8 pixels error in my Ala Mhigo floor build. Started going down the other axis. It's off by more than three blocks. #minecraft #ffxiv

It begins, and looks pretty great. I see one issue that may require a re-do already, though. Tell me if you can see it. >.>

For @syrinn.bsky.social

C-c-combooooo! I've been trying to build this floor for years, and this is by far the most successful attempt yet.

I think I'm doing pretty good with this. Admittedly some details are being lost in the scale, but it gets the jist across.

Well, my eyes are burning to the point of tears, and my low back is threatening to revolt, but I think I'll be good on veggie prep untill Christmas for sure, maybe even until spring. But dear God what the onions did to my eyes 😭

Ahem. It seems I am officially back on my bulls**t. #minecraft #ffxiv

While this does not have to be an either/or proposition, I will say that I passed this age line many years ago. Reminder: It ain't the years, it's the milage.

Aaaaaaand, sold out. The queue tech was nice, though.

It's time for one of my least favorite games in fandom: Queuing in line for event tickets.

Ah, yes. The deep urge to create without any focused direction. Truly the most common and frustrating of creative endeavours.

Feels good to be raising the kind of daughter who, instead of a Princess, wants to be the Dragon King.

Mood

I would have called this determination rather than courage, but yes, I do generally agree.

I do not know who Mamdani's speechwriter is - or even if it's the man himself - but they are at the PEAK of their game. So many clever turns of phrase, and it was all full of meaning - no empty platitudes.

Well, I can't wait to see the FFXIV community's reaction to Jonathan Bailey being named 2025 Sexiest Man Alive. I know a few die-hard G'raha Tia fans that have to be over the moon.

worthwhile trade imo

SNAP should be the most popular thing the government does if you’re socialist, it’s the government meeting basic human needs if you’re 20th century liberal, it’s a form of welfare that helps the poor without directly transferring wealth if you’re conservative, it subsidizes farmers and grocers

Well, now that New World is in hospice, I decided to take a look at @blackdesertgame.bsky.social only to find out they've disabled trade goods - my favorite activity in the game by a country mile - in my absence.

It's pretty darn neat in your 40s, too. Can confirm.

“Do you really expect Mamdani to get everything he’s promising done?” No. I’m sure a lot of what I want won’t happen. But I’m ready for someone who’s willing to actually fucking try rather than tell everyone why trying is pointless and must be saved for an undefined later moment

This. Even if tattoo removal was too expensive for him, he could always employ further tattoo sessions to alter the image.

I know everyone’s following the Louvre heist but I would like to point your attention to the California LEGO LOOTER www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

Whelp. Back to not caring about baseball until next spring.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

Haven't made a huge deal about it, but last month I had the biggest surgery I've ever had. Surgery itself went well, but the recovery has been very rough. Found a white hair at my temple this afternoon. And you know what? It's fine. I earned it with all this. We ball, as the kids maybe say.

When you've bee having a difficult surgical recovery, sometimes the simplest things can make you feel the most human. Like, being able to roll over in bed, wash your hair. Celebrate the Mariners winning the ALDS. You know, the little things.

Hello, My name is Morvelaira, and I approve this message.

Every Miyazaki film does feature the innocence of children triumphing, true, but what they triumph over isn't basic facts of life, but the bleakness of the world around them that was messed up royally by the adults who came before them. Never quite calls that out loudly enough.

It's one of those images that *feels* like it should be in history books, yes. But tell me - how much has the Church - any church - been involved in this brewing conflict? A lot, yes, but unfortunately mostly on the side of the men with the masks.

Wait, they’re coming for my goddamn pasta now?!

This is what made me burn out on livestreaming, and I'm certain there are people in my life who need to learn to avoid this as well.

Me: *returns the next day with a referral anyway to get on the waiting list* Dr: Oh, we don't take your insurance, so we refuse to see you. kthxbai

Me: I would like mental healcare! Dr: Sure! Please go through this screening process so we can direct you to where you can get the best care for you! Me: Reasonable *spends all day filling out forms* Dr: We don't have availability for you, and even if we did, you'd need a referral first. Me:

Never underestimate a Minecrafter's dedication to an idea.

If the descriptor (translated from Olde English) of, "Avowed is like Skyrim, as written by Ursula K. Le Guin," doesn't get your attention on this game, you have no taste. Acquire some.
