It comes to you, this stuff just flies through the air.
One of things I look forward to the most every year. Always appreciate the @tthq.bsky.social crew for how this comes together.

This is incredible news. One of the greats, sadly out of print for so many years, now coming back to life via what might be the best team you could hope for thanks to @25thcentury.games and @ianotoole.bsky.social. They are making up for lost time!
In Q1 2026, 25th Century Games will run a crowdfunding campaign for a new edition of Reiner Knizia's Tigris & Euphrates, with Ian O'Toole handling art and graphic design as he has done on 25CG's new editions of Knizia's RA game line.

This is our most exciting release in a while, and that's part of the plan. Layout is cool, but we're building up to "layout++" — a combination of user-friendly layout and styling tools we haven't seen in a modern open source CMS before.
Release day! ApostropheCMS 4.23.0 is out (and it's a good one). LAYOUT is now in core, a new widget that offers an in-context layout building experience. Drag'em, drop'em, stretch'em, hide'em on mobile. Check out the preview. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppFd...

Listening to the homies CR and Andy go deep on Task (aka “Philly Heat”) has me absolutely levitating. I’m going to savor these new little weekly rituals while they last.
‘Task’ Is Everything We Want It to Be. Plus, the Creative Arts Emmy Awards.

What a legend. I've just been going through the Michael Mann filmography on @criterion.bsky.social. Hadn't expected to also rewatch Heat for the 100th time but here we go.

We’re back baby. Go Phils ❤️
Phils set a franchise record for strikeouts on Opening Day, blew a lead thanks to the setup man who always looks like the gummy *just hit*…and won comfy in extra innings.

I have been vicariously through my son for the last 6(?) years with this summer camp program. Best part is that he absolutely loves it too.

The @apostrophecms.com team is continuing to push forward with our resources for integrating with @astro.build. I really appreciate how clearly this new tutorial lays out the approach we've taken for the integration, what it's for, and how to use our Apollo theme as a learning tool.

I don't know why I don't follow any music pods, but I randomly fired this @discordpod.bsky.social episode up after it was suggested by an algorithm that clearly knew it was about one of my favorite albums. All of the connections it makes to other bands is COOKING my noodle. A joy to dive in here 🏊

Wrote up some thoughts on how things have been going with @apostrophecms.com and @astro.build. Today we are on site in Lyon with the Michelin team talking about the future of their CX platform and Astro will continue to big a part of that.

YO BIG EARS. I last went to the Big Ears festival in 2015 when my brother and I turned it into a road trip from Philly. We’ve now locked in passes for the 2025 edition of this insane, pinch me, how is this even possible weekend of music and I couldn’t be more excited for our 10 (!!) year reunion.

One of the things I did after finishing The Daughter’s War by @buehlmeister.bsky.social was to go back and start reading The Blacktongue Thief again. Kind of an unusual move for me but I feel like I am trying to wring everything I can out of this amazingly crafted world. I need more of it!

A week or so out from PAX Unplugged is usually about when my anticipation reaches a full tilt frenzy. What’s on deck for this year looks really special, so I thought I’d channel some of this energy into a short-list roundup of a few things I’m particularly excited about.
