HOLY CRAP I got her #Cyberpunk2077 yesterday* b/c she'd mentioned wanting to play it, it was 75% off, & I (can sometimes) have low impulse control AND LET'S MARK THAT DOWN AS A WIN for not taking my ADHD meds yesterday.

I'm so frikkin' conflicted. We got her a Switch 2 as a Christmas/early birthday present & she started a new island. She's pressuring me to start anew, too. I haven't touched #ACNH in like a year and a half, but 😶 I just don't know.

Breaking news: Secret meetings between Ukraine’s top peace negotiator and FBI leaders have injected new uncertainty into high-stakes talks. The meetings have caused alarm among Western officials who remain in the dark about their intent and purpose.

When I started the video, I was smug in my assumption that #Costco wouldn't be mentioned. Sucks to be wrong.

This is awesome. Print is such a good way to get around a bunch of distribution (and surveillance!) mechanisms that seem otherwise mandatory in this very gross economy. It is really nice to see it spelled out like this. It works great for us, and it'll work great for other places!

The #chix dust bathing, slightly sped up 1) to get it to under 60 seconds. 2) because it amuses me.

I love it when my #chickens go full splayed-or-curled-in-ecstasy dinosaur feet while dust bathing.

We had our first bit of snow this season. My #dog is *a little* bit excited.

A group of industry veterans have banded together to form a new outfit called Lunacy Studios, and its first game is an "emotional Islamic Golden Age adventure" about grief, legacy, and healing.

Genuine question for anyone who was an adult or especially precocious teen in 1980: So, does that mean that someone who worked as a retail manager or something similar could've afforded (on their own) the median home price at that point?

I agree with Rand Paul about 2%* of the time, but at least the guy's working with some sort of guiding principles.

(in the US) I clicked on a random UK station and it began playing "All I Want for Christmas (is you)". How much I dislike that song has gotten to be a running joke in my family, so that was today's bit of serendipitous perfection.

I very much doubt the Legion would've thought that they'd won after my playthrough given what I did to them.

Even in winter, the wood whispers to tramp its paths. Its Sprites and Woodwose may sleep through days demanding our heaviest coats, but its mysteries do not. Bare branches scratch the low sky and still its mysteries sing. We walk for wonder. We walk for cold magics. – #EmilyCBanting, 1981

Random question: Do you use "grey" or "gray"? I went down a reddit rabbit hole this morning ( www.reddit.com/r/grammar/s/... ) & · While there is a US "preferred spelling" of "gray", use seems to be all over the place. · It's "grey", full stop, in other English-speaking areas.

I'm just old enough that my parents had a tradition of listening to this (first on tape, then on CD) on the drive to my grandparents' house every Thanksgiving. Like a scratch that needs itching, I began playing it for my own kids (first CD, then streaming) on the drive to my Mom's each Tday.

How good is Wake Up Dead Man? Well, @leahschnelbach.bsky.social's seeing it four times in theaters:

I finally got a chance to check out Keeper. Utterly bizarre, utterly gorgeous. Thank you for making this art, @doublefine.com

I bought a 2.25 lb jar of Bonne Maman preserves for like $12 at Costco this week. Me to my teen: "We can't NOT get it. Look - It's food! It's a blunt force weapon! It's food AND a blunt force weapon!"

Sometimes the most memorable scenes in movies are almost wordless, relying completely on visual storytelling and a swelling score. Here are five examples of perfect, dialogue-free moments:

Missed last night's FRONTLINE documentary? "The Rise of Germany's New Right" is now streaming on YouTube, our website and in the PBS App. The film investigates how Germany's far-right Alternative for Deutschland party has swelled in popularity and what it says about broader trends across Europe.
