catching up w/ Pluribus and was thrilled to recognize the volcano seen from Carol's backyard as the same one that inspired the caldera in Uru: Ages Beyond Myst, only to pull up Fleabag immediately after and have @hummeline.bsky.social say "wait I'm pretty sure that's the park across from the Soane"

my annual Chronicling of Media for 2025. Less movies (49 vs 61), more books (26 vs 17), less games (12 vs 18)—but who's counting. Here's to a new year of good stories told and a better world and a little less need for escapism!

Today’s the day! For all those tuning into the Rose Parade and wanting even more floats, may I present my weird lil bot 🌸🌷🪻
On this Rose Parade eve-eve-eve, I have brought you a silly thing I have made.
This will randomly generate a list of Rose Parade floats, including the award it won, for what ("innovation in floral design"), who built the float, what it's of, and the flowers & natural materials needed to create it.

As someone who’s been obsessed with this station for years, who can blame him?! Anyway it opened in 1904, it has skylights, the curve is too tight for modern trains but the 6 train does turn around there. Also the NY Transit Museum does tours!
EXCLUSIVE: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social will be sworn in as mayor on midnight on January 1 inside the old abandoned City Hall subway station, saying that he sees the venue as a symbol for the aims of his upcoming administration.

re-upping this for the alternate deviled egg season 🙏🏼 tried a new technique (gently tapping the egg to break the membrane) for an easy peel and it is life-changing
Treating deviled egg filling like icing and piping it out has changed my life
(& thank you to my great grandma for her Depression-era recipe that still slaps: dried mustard, onion flakes, dill and sweet relish, mayo, salt)
