I just spent another hour playing #DarkSouls2 #SoTFS and guiding people through the Doors of Pharos. Whenever I get the same person twice, that’s when I know I’ve fulfilled my daily quota.
Shout out to Guntritter(?). Even knew to kill my character on the second time. Enjoy those lockstones, friend
Whoever was just playing #DarkSouls2 #SoTFS and got sucked into a different world as a gray spirit in the Doors of Pharos, I salute you 🫡
I finally finished #DreadDelusion. The combat is uninteresting, but everything else (visual design, storytelling, vibes) is superb. It’s probably an acquired taste, but boy, do I have that acquired taste
The one good thing about the tariffs is that at least the Kentucky Nightmare Liquor Corporation should be unaffected. There’re a few reasons for that. For example, it’s
If I’m not doing anything else, at least I’m seeding. I’ll take just doing that as a win
#Vikings I really appreciate the emphasis that Kwesi puts on cohesion when it comes to the offensive line. He could have just signed a guard, but instead he signed a guard and a center who had worked together for years. #NFL
To whoever on the #Qobuz team put “Rednecks” immediately after “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” on the #RandyNewman playlist, you are simply diabolical

So, with #Signal links being blocked on née Twitter, I think we can safely say that the U.S. government doesn’t have a way to consistently surveil Signal messages
I guess I really do like pig-based media
I wonder if Nixon ever rocked a rhyme that was right on time
“Somehow is a super-weasel, a word that betrays that the author didn’t want to bother thinking out the story…Nothing in your story happens ‘somehow.’ It happens because you wrote it. Take responsibility!” —Ursula K. Le Guin
My #SteamDeck is in for repairs right now, so I’ve resorted to playing DOOM and Hunt the Wumpus on my aged laptop

Why has Taylor Swift not written the song “Spider 2 Y Banana”?
The odds of my partner turning into Kokomon are low, but never zero
I just listened to “Welcome To The Plains,” and I don’t mean to pick on the artist because he seems like a decent young man, but the lines,
“And looking back now through the years Before the hands of man were here Rusty shovels found black gold And tumbleweeds were free like the Choctaw and Cherokee Before they had to call this land their home If only they could see how it’s gone”
are just all over the place. Like, there’s obviously a time jump between lines 2 and 3, that’s fine. But then, “the tumbleweeds were free” puts us around 1870 (tumbles are invasive) and the next line is “like the Choctaw and Cherokee [prior to removal],” but removal started in the 1830s, so the timeline is really weird. It’s okay to compare things that take place at different times, but the structure makes me feel like I’m lurching backwards and forwards in time with no clear progression
Also, the lines “were free” and “If only they could see how it’s gone” don’t make much sense. You could go and ask a Choctaw or a Cherokee person, right now, what they think. They’re still around. And still free, despite waves hands everything
I’m about halfway through this book, and characters can’t stop “sucking [his/her/their] teeth.” It happens almost every other page. I like to say that usually I don’t mind this sort of thing, but it’s getting to the same level as “suffused” in the Inheritance Cycle and it’s driving me nuts
What level of deranged is “The #Godfather is a #Christmas movie.”?
A pug won the dog show, and we are now celebrating celebrations of our own hubris
Were the Sea Peoples from Punt?
Remember to add #Custer by #JohnnyCash to your #Thanksgiving playlist. And #WeWereAllWoundedAtWoundedKnee by #Redbone and maybe the #FrankWaln remake of What Makes the Red Man Red?.
All certified bops, all Native artists,¹ and all fun conversation starters.
Happy Thomas Granger Day, to those who celebrate
