I don't think they can just force Jesus to return, kicking and screaming. Maybe i've been reading the wrong Bible.

damn, now i need to go play Chain Factor for ten minutes.

depends on what you want to run -- for games, the big item is the graphics chip/board/VRAM to have smooth real-time visual rendering. I may never upgrade (to avoid Win 11) but that does limit quality of games.

Movie sequel "Greenland 2: Migration" recently released -- he probably saw a trailer on TV and thought it was a news report. <https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14850054/>

more like Trump revealing that he himself leaked intel for both of his terms; in his mind, it's all guilt and "the other guy did it, too."

now you're just writing fantasy ;)

i consider it my duty today to finish eating all of the snacks we have left over from Super Bowl. #hummus #olives #Doritos

I hate doing laundry, but enjoy the feel of clean sheets on the bed and fresh underwear. (Some call it "adulting" to simply do the chores.) Writing is harder than laundry, but it's a process, the way not everyone enjoys cooking.

i lose myself in interactive puzzles, like sudoku and crosswords, jigsaw puzzles with artsy photography, the zen of clicking boxes at the "Every 5x6 Nonogram" challenge.

i just asssumed they didn't want to compete with the Olympics coverage. But William Shatner's UnXplained is new tonight, so who knows?

on their website play.history shows me s22e1 "Skulls", s22e2 "Pyramid", s22e3 "Islands", and Gracenote shows s22e4 "E.T. Engineering" for next Thursday. (more déjà vu) Maybe sites are synching up now.

you've probably heard this by now, but there are ways to tell the Goog to return only non-AI results via a manual command, or just use udm14(dot)com

for some reason, this ep was originally slated for November when they broke off season 21 without telling anyone it was the finale, and TV Guide doesn't care.

I moved my bookmark to Wordle and went a week without it. Mental health did just fine without it, so now i've deleted the link. Temptation gone.

I've been using Quordle as a warm-up exercise, enjoying the fun without the stress of maintaining a streak. Maybe i'm ready to delete those puzzle links which no longer spark joy -- i have more alternatives now. #puzzles

as the person who does all the grocery shopping, I reserve the right to cook something experimental that I like, occasionally, regardless of the tastes of the others in the household. Tonight is such a night -- wish me luck.

‘Blind Into Caracas’ Less than 24 hours in, members of the Trump team are celebrating victory. None of them seem to have wondered what happens a day, a month, a decade from now.

I enjoy the daily Pixelogic by @joelriley.com yet rarely notice the names of the various puzzle setters. Today's "KFS" is by LEXMAN -- and i wonder if that is someone I knew from an old game called The Stone. Puzzle people cross paths all the time, then drift apart into niche interest groups.

Dense, and heavy, even in paperback. I have mine in storage somewhere. Got maybe 1/3 into it and quit, never to return. But i keep it as an artifact of whatever people were smoking back then.

I switched to Vivaldi about a month ago. It has it's own design differences from Firefox, but i found it easy to adapt to. Seems like a decent group runs it.

office binder clips might work

i'd pick number 3 (upper right), with 1 and 4 a close tie for next preference.

i suppose this makes me a car hoarder, still running after loan paid off, still running past the 100,000 odometer roll-over.

in case @danamrich.bsky.social doesn't already have alerts set for this baby.

ah, but did it exist before you wrote it down? You may have retroactively altered your own timeline.

when i am doing a mundane task (washing dishes, driving the same daily route) my mind enacts conversations or imagines scenarios, like doing a stand-up routine or giving a lecture. Is that day-dreaming? I snap back to reality for safety. Imagining my life as a Lotto winner is another state of mind.

as soon as i figure out how to DM on this thing... i think we "met" when Unfiction buddies all did NaNoWriMo together, good times. Loved "America, inc" and "Revision", btw, but i promise to be unbiased.

Maybe you aren't old enough to remember drivers during the gasoline crisis turning their cars OFF rather than idle. Pushed my car in line to the gas pump to save every drop.

i feel like this year was busier than last year, due to it being Friday night. I still had Pokemon cards and mini comics from last year, glow bracelets, and tiny toy cars which went fast. Now stuck with fun size Snickers.
