Lindsey Graham has passed away Like some of my friends, I have been struggling to not react to the news with glee I keep reminding myself however that there is no sin in expressing relief when a horrible ordeal is permanently over

Cooking experiment: cheap ramen made with “Flavor Packet Y” Like the typical cheap ramen, edible but very salty. Might be better using only half the “packet” #ShadowrunCookbook

I remember how we could always tell when the leaders of the Soviet Union were deathly ill. Soviet state media would either go silent or would keep saying the leader was fine but provide no recent pictures. Weird how the GOP is doing the same thing now.

Experimented with printing a stamp of a fairy glyph for a new project - worked better than I expected!

Watching National Treasure (2004) What’s your favorite non-traditional 4th of July movie?

This is still one of my favorite movie shots ever

Supergirl was a muddy mess. Entertaining, but with some problematic directorial and writing choices I give it a 3 out of 5, which is really sad for a superhero movie. Not sorry I saw it, but I’ll likely not remember much of it and don’t care to watch it again

In the next Tulah story there is a reference to thunderbugs They're a type of flying beetle with a curious defense mechanism. When threatened, thunderbugs emit a jet of foul smelling gas from their posterior which provides a short burst of speed, allowing for a fast escape

Picked this up at Jungle Jim’s earlier this week

I do not understand how most of my cow-orkers seem to do stuff. They often send requirements in meeting invitations and messages, or even phone conversations. I end up copying everything into an email to send to myself so I can find it again later

My table in the dealers’ room for the next four days at Origins

Late boomer/early Xer, but This sounds about right

For the past several weeks my mail server has been constantly being hit by an alphabet attack. Hundreds of hits every single day from the same source, and every one of them blocked ... but they keep trying Spammers can all rot in hell

Beef - It's what's for dessert!

It's not as old as I thought

Setting aside the environmental, economic, and artistic problems involved with the use of LLM generative AI systems for just a moment ... 1/11

Just watched the first episode of Spider-Noir and it was totally awesome!!!

History is going through dead people's mail. Archaeology is going through dead people's trash. (I can't find an attribution for this)

If they pass the required laws to do this, I want him to live long enough to see dozens of these bills with "PEDO" hand-written across the image's forehead

No, I don't use LLM AI for either writing or programming, because low-quality text or code riddled with factual errors is neither "seductive as hell" or "incredibly valuable"

So ... what's your favorite font? I've asked this at conventions from time to time and it's sometimes surprising who has an answer and what it is I'm rather fond of Garamond

Today I learned you now need a permit to go mudlarking on the Thames, and there’s a 10,000-person waiting list

I fixed my random potato chip generator dmmyers.com/gonk/chips.h...

How ...

I even have a tune for it - just need to learn how to play it on the ‘ukulele

Somewhere in a parking lot about 8 miles away from my house is a bag containing my Grubhub order I’m not gonna go look for it

For some inexplicable reason, over the past couple of weeks I’ve kept remembering Taz saying, “What for you bury me in the cold cold ground?”

What the hell did I just watch?

Here's a really nice demonstration of Tudor-era meat preservation from the Hampton Court cooks

Today I learned I can make passable “gravy” using the flavor packet from a package of ramen

I spent time this afternoon pounding hot, 40-year-old bottoms! Now all our vintage Revere ware will sit flat on the new cooktop

Seen at the antique store today

When he came out of the tomb did Jesus see his shadow, or do we have six more weeks of Lent?

I feel like I should be annoyed by the junk text, but I’m kind of curious about the story behind it

Only if his name is Tim

Up Girl

I thought of something like this 20 years ago - cool to see it actually happening ... though I still want to set up a farm to grow oranges in Ohio

It won’t win any beauty contests, but Cindy said she wanted a carrot cake with coconut frosting

I’ve lived in this house over 25 years and I just noticed … there’s a doorknob on the *inside* of the pantry

I’d been saying people over 65 could go to state universities in Ohio for free, but the age is actually *60* I’m now trying to verify that enrolling under that program means you can also get coverage under the student health insurance plan If so, that could significantly accelerate things
