For some reason I am now obsessed with uncovering why the quality of fortune cookie fortunes has declined in the past decade. It couldn't have gotten harder.

It's time for more Super Mario Galaxy! We're back to our antics, travelling to distant galaxies, collecting stars, talking to Toads, and rescuing Luigi (again), what's new today? Live now! twitch.tv/tyranthesaur...

It's time for more Super Mario Galaxy! Can we wahoo and yipee our way into some more stars, and what's up with motion controls? Live now! twitch.tv/tyranthesaur...

One cat is chittering at all the birds on the patio and the other is up in the cat tree, glaring down with disapproval at the Google Fiber techs ripping up the street.

Truly impressive number of birds migrating tonight. More than 800 MILLION birds up in the air right now❗ #BirdMigration

No stream today, got a bad migraine that I think staring at a computer screen will exacerbate. Having said that, I'll have a rare Saturday stream to make up for it!

They shoulda held Fyre Festival 2 on the date of the Rapture.

Former BLS Commissioner @erikamcentarfer.bsky.social's remarks @bardcollege.bsky.social available online now. Great on: - value of credible official statistics, - careers in economics, research, & public service, - dealing with DOGE, and - more #EconSky #TeachEcon www.youtube.com/watch?v=9PD_...

"Your Scientists Were So Preoccupied With Whether Or Not They Could, They Didn’t Stop To Think If They Should" - Jurassic Park Definitely skipping past that advice today as I clone mammals in Planet Crafter. Going live now! twitch.tv/tyranthesaurus

This has inspired me to pick up a Professor Layton game.

Me when I read LinkedIn posts

Okay when I said white collar crime was now legal in America I didn't think that extended to defrauding investors. But here we are.

"Would Milton Friedman be a Dem today?" - the greatest thread in the history of forums, locked by a moderator after 12,239 pages of heated debate.

Nothing like ignorantly enjoying your weekend only to look up to see a swarm of yellow jackets just appeared on your patio.

Best friend: "Welcome to Adulthood"

Trying out my first wet brine for salmon and I feel like I am upgrading my cooking game enough to watch Chopped.

🚨NEW RESULTS (w/ Slattery & Nober) - When gov't engineers retire, highway projects cost more: the engineers pay for themselves 6 times over - Improving gov’t engineer quality from the 25th to 75th percentile reduces costs by 14%, equal to 3x avg. engineer pay Paper: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

It is said that it takes 10,000 hours to become an expert in any given field. At the age of 42 I am, without doubt, an expert supermarket shopper

In a bit of on the nose symbolism, we had an honest to goodness dumpster fire at my complex this afternoon.

Sometimes you're awoken by your alarm and other times 20 pounds of a small animal leaps onto your face before the crack of dawn.

Time for a bit more fun and adventure in Planet Crafter as we try to unlock the wonders, the horrors, and secrets of mammals. Going live now! twitch.tv/tyranthesaurus/

I think a lot of advice around this focuses on "you're not an imposter", which doesn't really help. The truth is that it fundamentally doesn't matter if you're an imposter. The most successful and powerful people in the world are imposters. Just get on with it. Be the best imposter you can be.

Judging my mental state today by the wherewithal to do laundry and dishwashing versus the lure of binging watching old series.

One of America’s most loved competitions is nearing. Get ready to binge on bear cams. Fat Bear Week will take place from Sept. 23 to 30, with contestants going beast mode on the millions of sockeye salmon that run from Bristol Bay down the Brooks River.

PAX got me a girl's number on this plane ride. . . and also a guy's number so, the whole field is wide open?

"This is a full flight" the attendant announces, as I turn to the ominously empty seat next to me.

Here Comes Honey Labubu

This PAX has been inside jokes within inside jokes. VIPs get past the joke rope line, but Gold VIPs exprience humor in the exclusive 2nd floor bar, but Executive Gold VIPs get absurdist high comedy in the secret lounge behind the secret bar. That final room has some great friends.

Fun and nostalgic PAX West. A lot of childhood memories of having fun playing video games with my brother. You should also buy For All Mankind, as a board game it slaps. On to Unplugged! See you there.

Fun Fact: on Monday, PAX West opens up our super secret Taco Freeplay Area. Come find a full buffet style experience for the hard or soft shell enthusiast. Build your favorite iconic Tacos from scratch! Did your mother say to never play with your food? Well here you can!

I always play Civ as a peaceful scientific and trade-oriented good neighbor. But if someone declares war on me I will not stop until they are utterly destroyed.

Here I was, thinking 250 pins was far too many for an inside joke at #PaxWest But people consumed these like locusts. I need to do a larger print run for next year. Praise Hole. IYKYK.

While I am at PAX there is a full cat tree sit-com happening at home. These two posers.

Disassociating after someone insisted they are staying at a "LOU QUEN-TE" hotel (La Quinta).

I need to stop being surprised that even generic drip coffee in Seattle is just superior. The hotel lobby has better coffee than bistros back home. I would steal the machine if I could fit it in my luggage.

Nothing agitates me so much about public transportation ettiquite as people who refuse to wear headphones. For <$10 you and your music can stop being a nuisance to others.

Deiya my Check-in Counter Guy throwing down hands with the TSA. Guy literally left the Delta counter and walked me through security to tell the TSA their system was wrong.

Playing a little bit more of Planet Crafter before I get sent into a long metal tube 1000+ miles away for PAX West. twitch.tv/tyranthesaurus

The Postal Service is apparently insisting that my Condo . . . doesn't exist. Yep. I've lived here for 3 years. Apparently now they're returning all of my mail claiming this is not a real place.

I am a huge Fire Emblem junkie and for 2 years I had convinced myself I had played Three Houses and apparently I just . . . didn't? The game has been on my shelf this whole time. I gaslit myself into thinking I played a video game. So I'll be correcting that now. BBL in 80 hours or so.

Y'all I can't. The updated Cracker Barrel logo looks like a new Streaming Platform 😭. RIP PawPaw and Bill the Barrel.

Noooo not Ralph from BestBuy with all of the juicy adulterous affair gossip. I got so much out of purchasing this Wallet Tile y'all including a 15 minute dramatic play at the checkout counter.

Post Nail Clip Angel vs Post Nail Clip Demon

Update: I lived. Thanks to @jovishark.bsky.social for the tips, they helped! I'd rate our attempt as B-, we only clipped off the very sharpest ends. Barnaby was wiggly but he sat through it. Morse was NOT PLEASED. I think I just got half of his nails before I called quits. Lots of treats.

I am dreading today. Today I attempt to clip my cats' nails. If you don't hear from me again it was a pleasure getting to post for you.

Finishing up our build of the LEGO Tuxedo Cat on stream today! twitch.tv/tyranthesaur...

Some of the crimes I've seen in Washington DC: — Beige sweater with beige chinos — Jacket sleeve tag left on — Tan shoes with navy suits — Giant Windsor knots (triple felony with the metal sports watch paired with dark suit and French cuffs)

Naked Gun was very good. They somehow found a way to pack 1.25 hours of non-stop laughs. Constant drumbeat like every 30 seconds. They even had gags in the credits! It was also always the same cadence of laugh too: median between "sensible chuckle" and "full bellow".

There's no rule that says a dog can't be a priest
