I've been making my own red pepper flakes for a few years, just got this year's plants in the planter (an above-ground fire pit my dad found on the side of the road). Two cayenne plants, a jalapeno, and a tabasco. Was hoping to find mirasol and/or poblano, but nowhere I went to had them.

I quit playing magic over 10 years ago, and almost everything they've done since then has reinforced my decision.

Hand me another beer, you know, for the troops.

I'm really enjoying these image template sites lately.

Right up there with "don't vote for anyone who remembers Reagan fondly" in my book

Groucho, Chico, Harpo, Zeppo, Gummo, and Margaret Dumont

Made the Samwich from @parlorroom.dropout.tv on a blueberry bagel and some eggs and peppers with black garlic and peri peri hot sauce from @hotsaucelady.bsky.social Both were phenomenal. Top tier lunch.

One of the weirder things about living in suburbia is the lawnmowers. Not their existence, the fact that everyone uses it for like one hour a week, and yet everyone owns their own. Should definitely be a shared neighborhood resource.

When I worked at Goodwill in books, every time a book by a GOP politician or Fox News talking head came in it was in pristine condition, probably unopened. I would usually draw devil horns on their face on the cover and toss them in the bin to be pulped. Nobody's reading fucking Sarah Palin's book.

I know it's pronounced "flanged" but I like to think it's "flanged."

Who says that I am dead Knows nought at all. I - am that is

There's good pepperoni out there, but the pepperoni on most pizza is mid at best.

End of the ~70 session campaign. Struck down the merged gods and our heroes walk--or float, in the case of the arachnoform Conrasu psychic--into the sunset.

9 movies

9 games Really need about 15 to fit in Crystal Warriors, OG Zelda, Guardian Legend, Halo, the Saboteur, and Inscryption.

PSA from someone whose eyes let in slightly more light than the average person's, all websites and apps should have a dark mode option. Your all-white background will hurt my eyes in short order no matter how low I have my brightness settings.

Groucho Harpo Chico Margaret Dumont

Oh no, the jovial character who never takes anything too seriously is reminiscing and being real serious, earnest, and heartfelt before going on a dangerous errand alone.

Post a banger that's not in English (middle Egyptian/Demotic) www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDeL...

They aren't Nazis. They are Republicans. We need to point this out constantly. Republicans are killing people.

Apparently the secret to beautiful copper waffles is adding >15 year past date green food coloring to the batter on a whim.

I've been avoiding updating my laptop for months, last night when I shut it down I wasn't given the option to just shutdown, had to update + shut down. This morning the thing I'd been avoiding happened: copilot was installed on my laptop. Uninstalled it immediately, Microsoft can go fuck themselves.

Making an xmas list is a lot harder than it used to be, given that in the era of streaming the only media I actually buy and thus can put on a list now is books.

In 2016 my dad, who had never once talked politics to me before that, summed up trump's character thusly, "He cheats at golf." I don't know how the hell his reputation for cheating at golf made it to the middle of the country, but he must be prolific. There's a lot of degrees of separation there.

This week we hit a TTRPG bucket list item in Pathfinder 2e...

Today in Pathfinder 2e...

Thinking of moving to a small town and trying to get the people riled up about how the utility company is putting dihydrogen monoxide in the pipes.

I stopped using google search when I looked up the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner on the 4th of July and the entire first page of results were for a different song. That was just over 2 years ago.

Hades II might be the first game I've played on release day since Halo 2.

Somehow I (a very tall man, a true ogre of a human) made it all the way to today before a stranger asked me to get something off a high shelf for them at the grocery store.

Hate to be a broken record, but the spicy late night comedy shows disappeared in Putin’s Russia as he consolidated power

Thinking of the Shadowrun novel Changeling where large portions of the population are not literate, but rather iconerate--they know icons and some words, but can't fully read.

Just put the REfinishing touches (with a printer friendly version) on TWPF my @onepagerpgjam.bsky.social submission, many thanks to @indeathdelectable.bsky.social and @alephtwo.bsky.social for their help.

Just put the finishing touches on Tag Walls Punch Fascists, a one-page TTRPG (for the itch-dot-io one-page game jam) inspired by JSRF, Hover, and Mirror's Edge where you play as a runner with rocket-powered roller skates and a gift for graffiti. thepowersmattbe.itch.io/tag-walls-pu...

I once was getting a haircut and the guy in the chair next to me referred to my hometown (which was about half that size) as "the big city."

Something like these

Do you think they'll stop being afraid of Trump if he dies? Or will all the Dems and Repubes still be afraid of his fucking ghost?

National Ice Cream Day is just a made up holiday for Hallmark to sell more cards.

No Republican should be welcome anywhere, ever again. Not in a home or a public space.

The Zohran Mamdani thing is the trans people in women's sports thing. A bunch of people who never cared about women's sports/who's the mayor of New York only think they care now because what they deem as the 'wrong' type of person is suddenly visible in that space. It's boring busybody bigotry.

Republican Nazis want to create a snitch state so badly. Like every fucking month there's a new "report undesirables" line popping up either at a federal agency or in some red (gerrymandered) state.

Had the bear dream again last night. The one where you're a bear, and you're scratching out the words "It's me, Matt" as well as your ursine claws can manage, and your friends are completely ignoring the message and criticizing your pawwriting.

A college athlete's episode-one-Bill-Seacaster level coach-dad said, "My darling boy's a top five pick." And the entire braindead, hype-prone, analysis-averse sports "journalist" corps just said, "Yes, that is fact, thank you for giving us something to not think about." What a fucking joke.

For real who was clamoring for a re-release of by far the worst elder scrolls main game? How long did they spend on this when they could have been working on VI?

Musicians naming themselves after famous gangsters/boxers/outlaws/etc and companies naming themselves after famous inventors who have been dead for the better part of a century should both be seen as stolen valor.

Someone should have told that idiot musk that Wisconsin hasn't been for sale since Scott Walker was voted out.

We should create a socialist/communist party in America and call it something like "The American Moderate Party" (AMP) so idiot Americans who fetishize moderates/centrism will vote for a party that actually helps people.

Being an American is so embarrassing these days, I can't believe someone would admit to it.
