Well this is pretty cool - makes me want to try to create one on my own. Game Poems via

So excited to see Bad Bunny perform. This is an epic video trailer/teaser. Only good news in my feed today.

Today’s short story read.

OK, got some reading done, watched half a movie with the better half, got some guitar practice in, and then …. THIS! I love TimeOut in the Fenway! What an awesome place to grab whatever you want! This sucks, I hope something cool goes in its place!

Well, this certainly has been a day. Time to put away the screens and read. One short story a day, working out well so far! Any fantastic short stories to recommend?

Very cool project, check it out, host yourself, or .... send some $ to the creator...

I'll take advice from @erictopol.bsky.social before most people, and especially before taking any advice from the current administration.

Of course they had ties to the beef industry! A group of researchers that formed the scientific basis of new dietary guidelines included people with financial ties to the beef and dairy industries, as well as food companies and other groups. From STAT

Fantastic post - https://technicshistory.com/2026/01/02/the-rise-of-computer-games-part-ii-digitizing-nerddom/ My entire youth in the 80s was spent playing games like Wizardry, Zork, and other D&D variants. Now, to prepare my own DM notes for tomorrow night’s D&D game with my son!

OK, this is cool: wantmymtv.vercel.app Check out MTV from the different decades!

Happy Tuesday. Just found this fun game on hackernews. I stink at it, but it was a fun pre-meeting distraction. How well can you do? https://enclose.horse/

Found this interesting site on hackernews this morning. Moving from an individual contributor to a manager? Try the game and see how you do.

NYC right now

One of my resolutions is to read a short story a day. How lucky am I that this gem is in my feed!

I am trying to declutter, especially electronically. I think I’ve unsubscribed to over 25 newsletters and marketing schlock in my gmail account already. All the comics are put away in bags and boards, and I’ve indexed them all in a comic collecting app. Office is the cleanest its been in forever.

I learned this tidbit today “The Super Bowl is responsible for an additional 17 to 18 million pounds of avocado consumption.” from thisfantastic post. I learned that I have too many subscriptions, so I’m going to see how many I can cut out of my life in ‘26

@dsri.bsky.social Thanks so much for your davidseah.com/node/compact... - as part of my gearing up for next year, I always print this out and glue it into my notebook!

I love working from home on a Monday when there is apparently no one else working. That To Do list is going to shrink! I’m going to get a bunch of organization done, and work related reading. Happy Monday, all!

Finished reading SaltCrop to end the year. Will try and get more non-fiction read in 2026, but I’m not setting goals just yet. Really enjoyed the novel, great story about a dystopian future where big companies are doing bad things.

Who doesn’t love the time between Christmas and New Year’s? I’m not even sure what day of the week it is, and I don’t care. I just took a bath. I’m a grown ass man, and I just sat in the bathtub with a negroni.

"[M]onetized the dysfunction" is a good way to describe the American health care system too.

A street fighter movie? Seriously? www.instagram.com/reel/DSK_LGC...

The internet is fast becoming so choked with this, it'll be unusable. We'll all be boats chugging blindly through the gloom and the muck, finding nothing, barely each other, uncertain what's true or even real anymore.

This incredibly gory and NSFW and 18+ video game trailer from Baldurs Gate 3 creator @larianstudios.com is mind blowing. I can’t wait for its release so I can take a week off of work to play. youtu.be/VxzyVeAG00w?...

Do these guys ever bother to listen to themselves? Yeah, that's exactly what pardoning the 1600 J6 rioters show.

Hosted Thanksgiving on Thursday. Hosted D&D for my son and his friends on Friday. Had to grab their attention again and again but they seemed to have had a good time. Now to turn the backstories I have them into the next session. So much fun to do the prep! Dragons await!

I guess I won’t be watching Stranger Things … is Netflix down for everyone

I’ve missed business trips to Europe. It’s so fun to be someplace “other”. And I absolutely love European hotel breakfast.

Amsterdam is lovely

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Democratic AGs and governors sue the feds for suspending SNAP/food benefits during the shutdown @wbur.org www.wbur.org/npr/nx-s1-55...

Man, our costumes were crazy back in the day. And I do love the "complete breakfast" that includes Count Chocula. youtu.be/uErFyTelCxU?...

We need to remove the cancer in the Oval Office to restore funding to children’s cancer research.

I find watching the creation of art to be fascinating. This story about Nighthawks At The Diner is really interesting. www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

A great comic about AI Art. Brilliant, even.

Watching 20 sided tavern at the Boch Center - having a blast

Spoiler: NO Do Democrats want free healthcare for undocumented migrants?

It's October, which means the Jim Baen Memorial Short Story Award is accepting applications from now through February 1. Pro-tip: Leave yourself time for editing, critique, revision.

Our "president" is disgusting.

Great game, nothing like a bottom of the 9th nailbiter. Nice work RedSox!

Reading through Absolute Superman and I love the disdain for AI from the protagonists, as well as the quote from the downtrodden while being interviewed by their mega-corp oppressors "We pray for Superman's rage" #comics #AbsoluteSuperman
