I know I’m extremely late to the party, but I enormously enjoyed @tkingfisher.com’s Nettle & Bone. Just a terrific read about human characters who happen to be Princesses and Witches on a crazy road trip to kill a dude who has it coming. 5 stars from me, will read again.

Let a crown be placed thereon, by which the world may know, that so far as we approve of monarcy, that in America the law is King. For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be King; and there ought to be no other.
- Thomas Paine, the OG #NoKings

My bookshelf with about 1/2 my Revolutionary War book collection and a bunch of art books for no good reason today.

I may have indeed read most of these books. (But not the period encyclopedias that’s just weird.)

The Lions as the marquee team on Sunday Night Football is just another sign of the apocalypse.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

With the whole “hold notifications until X time,” my alerts are getting dystopian.

* Trump threatens Insurrection Act
* Lions beat the Bengals! Take THAT, Ohio!
* You have 2 games from your wishlist for sale on Steam
* Airports nationwide shut down
* Pictures of your adorable dogs!

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown.

Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

I made the horrible mistake of buying Hades II off the Nintendo Store and downloading it to my Switch, and now all I want to do is play Hades II on my Switch 2.

I have always enjoyed a roguelike, and Hades II may be the most perfect expression of the genre.

I've been trying to keep political chatter off the Internet, no matter how I felt, but can someone please explain to me why the US Military is invading... *checks notes*... Portland?

multiplexer @multiplexer.bsky.social · 25d

That’s very much a thing. :)

I finished RF Kuang’s Katabasis and, I have to admit, I kept casting GBBO’s Paul Hollywood as Prof Jacob Grimes.

“Your pentagram didn’t rise properly and it’s gone all claggy. And your lettering has no flavor. This won’t do.”

Am I GBBO pilled? Maybe!

Ah yes. Who could forget the urbane sophistication and slick well-produced cruelty of…. (Checks notes)… Tunnels & Trolls.

Smoke manacles fell off. Tentacle to the chest and took no damage.

I thought about charging after the bad guys but then the squishies would get seriously hurt so that was no good.

I made this felted Gnome from a Going Gnome kit I bought from Maryland Sheep and Wool. He’s a most excellent overalls wearing knitting gnome with a fuzzy beard and a sweater project

I found a use case for LLMs and GenA. A task so repetitive and obnoxious I’d happily hand it to a machine. A task no script seems to 100% solve.

The worst problem in engineering: converting Markdown to Atlassian Confluence.

Why Atlassian can’t just support MD I will never understand.

This is Gnot Just Another Gnome from Imagined Landscapes. I made him from fingering weight remnants. Imo he came out excellent. Really love the cables!
