Just out for a quiet neighborhood walk full of affirmations, duckies, and severed arms.

small poem. i've been playing a lot of "name the 500 biggest urban areas in the US" type games lately to keep my mind busy when i'm fretful

It’s been so long since I lived in San Francisco, I couldn’t remember the name of the fog. I had to look it up.

Surely you too have a collection of favorite utility panel covers?

Am I playing this wrong? With the exception of actual Tom Clancy titles, much every other book is ruined, right?

New overly aggressive autocorrect just makes me sound dumber. Previously, I’d go back and scan for little squiggly lines and fix my typos. Because my typing is terrible. Now my Ty porosity turn into entirely new words unless I watch very carefully. Please am it stop. I’m egging you.

Just your friendly neighborhood Spider-Archie.

“The Worst Rave In The World” at AndOrGallery was really a delight. The very best of jenky robotics.

I wore a crisp white shirt all day and didn’t get anything on it. There should be a medal for this.

Fandom is the true lingua franca. Tavern Pachimon Wars, Osaka (Pachimon = knockoff/fake)

You helped will this into existence, you know...

On my way to an immersive theater thing in an arch under a train. Except not London.

Instead of fireworks, enjoying this.

Pong, but make it 3d. And by 3d, I mean without a screen.

Still the best balloon design.

This is great advice. Every surface is a designable surface. But also, don’t make the mistake of just chasing this… at the expense of the core game.

That 1980s Microsoft logo went hard.

Twenty-one years ago, @stevepeters.bsky.social got a jar of honey in the mail. A few months later, @greeterdan.bsky.social wrote an article on Wired explaining why "protesters" held up signs with a cartoon bee at the 2004 Debates. Both of those moments changed my life for the better.

We made @noproscenium.com & Everything Immersive to help people discover immersive theatre, art, and events near them. We don’t run it for profit. We don’t take a percentage of ticket sales. We just want the work to thrive and for people to get excited about it.

This is what patriotism looks like.

“Ma’am, you seem to have brought facts to an opinion party.”

Timeline refresh for today: Discovering a giant flock of parrots casually hanging out while walking around the neighborhood never gets old.

What I am doing lately is: writing fiction in which UBI exists and there's a cap on personal wealth, because imagining for people what it looks like is a crucial step

Without looking it up, which came first: Gonzo the Muppet or Gonzo the style of journalism?

Nothing can replace Blaseball. But Bananaball is shockingly close. There’s even a team called the firefighters.

Am ready for the Orson Krennic half hour spin off “Calibrate Your Enthusiasm”

"All right. Have it your own way. Road to hell paved with unbought Beetlejuice stained glass. Not my fault.” — E. Hemingway

I am not so far into @chuckwendig.bsky.social’s “The Staircase in the Woods” but it’s having a strange collision with “Blue Prince”.

Anyone interested in joining a Taskmaster fantasy league?

I forget, which one is Ryan?

My god! What have you done!

Look at my game pls: www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

This Blue Prince review just about sums it up: “This is not a review, it's a public health warning.” So consider yourself warned. Or, don’t listen to me, just like you ignored everyone warning you not to pick up Balatro. www.windowscentral.com/gaming/im-qu...

That is correct for $1200! (Your current score: $51000)

The reason for the season:

I truly regret that photos through a shop window cannot capture the full glory of Saturn Devouring His Son rendered entirely in glitter.

Covfefe = what you drink when you can’t afford coffee with an extra tax applied

Really feels like the world is ready for a Thomas Crown affair re-re-make … or just turn it into a franchise. I want to live in a world where bored billionaires do elaborate art heists and then return the paintings … not *gestures around* THIS.

This.

Had a delightful time strolling through @may.as’s Museum of All Things. The kitsch room did not disappoint. may.as/moat/

Love everything about this.

Feeling some Barbara Krueger.
