I had to unplug for the first two-thirds of the month. The cold weather has been making me miserable and tired.

It's very tempting to rot in bed or hide in your home. But doomscrolling won't make you feel better. Maybe you have things to do, plans you've made, friends to see, places you wanted to donate. Pick one thing. Breakfast, meds, clothes or a shower? I know you can do it. One thing at a time.

I do the same thing. I skim the page, bookmark it and rarely go back to look at it.

Good morning Bluesky. I'm going through my Chrome browser tabs, closing the ones I don't need open. I'm currently at forty-five. I'm terrible at managing my tabs.
I downloaded the Google Play store to my Fire Seven using an API, because that's how I roll.

Me at 3am, wanting ice cream: Open the freezer door, HAL. (pause) HAL, open the freezer door!

I'm afraid I can't do that, Dave.

Solmyr’s Known World 1010 AC, 24 miles perΒ hex For an introduction to Aleksei Andrievski’s maps, see the article for Solmyr’s Alphatian Region. This is another of his CC-DOS maps, made by Aleksei in October 1997, then shared on his web site (with an announcement on the MML) in March 1998. Once again, thanks to Remy Monsen for the conversion from CC-DOS to PNG format. This was the last CC-DOS map that Aleksei created β€” shortly after his…

Today the Atlas of Mystara: Aleksei Andrievski’s Known World 1010 AC, 24 miles per hex from February 1998. This is his last CC-DOS map, and as with his Glantri map, it seems slightly unfinished. After this he moved onto political maps for PBEM games.

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are on a walk, talking as they go.
Green: You know what's wild about people who are good at keeping secrets?
Blue: What?
Green: You might not even know if you know one! People who keep their mouth shut don't brag about it. You could know someone who is sitting on a murder confession and never find out.

Blue turns to look at Green, who looks back at him.
Blue: ...What?

Honestly it's 99% about being sensible. It's like a party: some people are loud to draw a crowd, some people are in a corner talking just to each other, one guy is here with a guitar hoping someone will ask him to play something. Pay attention and you'll know how to proceed. Or, you know, ask!

Breaking Old People Insomniac News! The 4am Sunday night @MeTV slot, previously occupied by Peter Gunn, is now airing the David Janssen series, Harry O! (And the presence of Anthony Zerbe only adds to its status as an official 70s detective show.)

The Case of the Toxic Spell Dump The Case of the Toxic Spell Dump

How about THE CASE OF THE TOXIC SPELL DUMP? Technology through magic rather than engineering, in the tradition of MAGIC, INC. and OPERATION CHAOS, only with puns. Lots of them.

Disney presents... The Little Marmite

This adorable jar of Marmite lives at the bottom of the sea until one day it meets a handsome jar of Branson Pickle and FALLS IN LOVE. Is our little Marmite willing to give up its distinctive salty tang for LOVE???
