@thegargle.bsky.social A roving report option for you: nltimes.nl/2025/01/11/p...

It is the third of January, it is an hour and a half until sunset, and it is raining. Why are our neighbors letting off fireworks?

@flophousepodcast.bsky.social Apparently there is a place called "Popeyes" opening in my city. Is it worth a try?

@alicefraser.bsky.social This was a while ago but your podcast bizarrely lined up with my phone's background of my son:

Christmas is NEXT FUCKING WEDNESDAY?!

Rude.

Today's webcomic recommendation: Port Sherry. Funny standalone comics, sometimes autobiographical, always clever. portsherry.com

the worst thing about bluesky is that when you sign up they don’t tell you how important your starting location is. now i can’t get any grain no matter what i do. i’ve resorted to barging in on strangers’ conversations offering to trade two wool and a lumber for a grain but i usually just get muted

Today's webcomic recommendation is Skin Horse. The shadow government has a welfare branch for helping mad science creations and mythological entities join society. Lovely cartoony art, solid humor, and the whole comic is finished. skin-horse.com

Today's webcomic recommendation: Freefall. Updating three times a week since 1998, it's grounded scifi about colonising other worlds and artificial intelligences. Simple art and lots of philosophy discussions, it rewards a long archive binge. freefall.purrsia.com

I used dice to select a tea to drink, and I wanted a set where higher numbers were more likely so that teas I hadn't had recently would appear more often. I got into the weeds designing bizarre dice sets before learning D&Ds advantage system for exactly that.

A lot of neat people I want to follow have come to Bluesky, so I have too.
