I have determined through the empirical analysis of basically saying so on social media that the Five for Fighting song one hundred years to live was about Jimmy Carter.

Christmas dinner was a 4 peppercorn prime rib and it was one of the best I’ve ever made. Nailed it this year and I just hope I can always nail it this well.

Boy seeing the what folks on the right are saying about the immigrant who burned a woman alive on the Subway is really interesting next to the 25 years of helplessness over school shootings we’ve gotten since Columbine. Gee what’s different here? I wonder.

Storm degraded to the point we had to put her down today. It’s been a long time coming. But at least it’s done.

My team is hiring in Austin! Come do Drupal stuff for me if you're willing to live in one of our BBQ capitols! jobs.apple.com/en-us/detail...

Two turkeys. One pot.

If you think it's hard for you, as a rational human being, to sift through all the fakery, trolling, and nonsense on the internet, imagine how hard it is for an AI. Our current AIs are more or less brilliant toddlers. They can output amazing stuff, but they don't understand truth at all.

Finished the Thanksgiving shopping. Going to be a good one this year. Looking forward to doing this in the new kitchen with the big Ol double oven!

Hello to all my new followers. I don’t post much. And right now social media’s pretty depressing so not reading much either.

MUG CHECK. Got these at origins as a gift to @esmerel.bsky.social but then I stole one so instead we have matching mugs.

MUG CHECK Not my schmanciest mug (by far) but I'm a sucker for mugs with the letter Q on them. I WILL reclaim my initial from that circus of conspiracy nuts comma dammit.

15 years later Pat Rothfuss has published book 3 of The Kingkiller Chronicle which he once described as a million word prologue to a bigger story. At his current pace of writing he will not live long enough to write that bigger story unless Sanderson finishes for him.

There's a thread here that I don't want to directly involve myself in, but am quote posting so other folks can read it, but I do want to comment something I've seen that this thread is really highlighting for me. Often times, we have a Thing appears to Not be Working, and people want to remove it.

It’s because you don’t want to acknowledge the answer you’ve been given.

Are microwaveable s’mores insta-grahams?

So basically what I'm understanding is that a bunch of hardliners in the GOP are preventing a government funding bill from passing but they don't have any actual demands. They just want to watch it burn. They are the Seinfeld Congress; 200+ mean people about Nothing.

Babylon 5. The Expanse. Maybe in that order but maybe not.

no star trek or star wars allowed: name your fav sci-fi franchise

I wanted it to be Donkey Kong but that certainly came much later than this one.

Reskeet with the first video game you remember playing

We watched The Afterparty on AppleTV mostly because I liked Sam Richardson from Ted Lasso and the promo looked a little crazy. That show was much much better than it had any right to be. Recommend.

Because this site is still mostly @scalzi.com and he mostly posts cat pics (ok cat pics are just a chunk but you get my meaning) here’s a cat pic. This is one of the adorable kittens of our porch stray who was “I hate everything about you” when we first took her in and now she’s mouthy demanding.

A toast to Jimmy.

Pan seared new your strip steak, (reverse sear method), loaded baked potato, sautéed spinach.

You can really see how much bigger Freyr is compared to Hawke.

Do you remember when a google engineer said ChatGPT might be sentient? Hah! All we’ve done is create an overconfident snake oil schmoozer emulator. We are a long, long, long way from being able to create sentience. This is a good thing.

Hmm. Feels like Bluesky is starting to pick up as people start coming over here. The X thing on twitter *really* is working to drive people off the platform. Clearly, Elon is killin' it as CEO. If you take my meaning.

Hmm. I've been forgetting to check this one lately. Not too many people in my social circle here yet. Also it took me an oddly long time (about 10s) to find the New Post button just now.

void main() { cout << "Hello world!\n"; } Alternatively <?php print "Hello world!" . PHP_EOL; ?>
