Well *someone* has to write those 2,000 page Federal bills that no one else bothers to read but will complain about. Might as well be me. Mostly general video game/sci-fi/fantasy nerdery (I assume, I don't know)

@arlnow.bsky.social any info on the apparent closing of We, The Pizza in Crystal City? It's moved into the Good Stuff down the street as a "pop up", but I don't know if that's a permanent new setup or what.

Dang it do I miss this house :-(

Also, somehow I don't think I ever heard about these maps/photos.

This feels like an appropriate Sunday morning thread:

My grandmother lived in the same 1882 Victorian 2-flat in Chicago's Little Italy beginning in the 1930s until she passed almost a decade ago, raising 11 children under that roof. 1/n
Victorian 2-flat painted red with white accents in a Chicago neighborhood, a white porch sits in front and an addition sits to the left side of the main building in the same color scheme

There are days that I feel this in my bones (and today is one of those days) #thejoysofallergies
A dual post on tumblr by user genderfluid-druid. The first post (dated December 22) reads "hurr hurr I'm a human body hurr hurr I'm gonna solve all my problems using mucus". The second post (dated the same day) reads "'I require more fluids' well what did you do with the fluids I already gave you. hmm? did you make more mucus with them? you made more mucus with them.". It has strong "but i maked these" sad gallbladder comic vibes, and I love it (and, again, feel it deeply in my bones)

I know very little of Silksong and it will probably remain that way, but based on the fact that the silhouette here is one of the final bosses, I can only assume that the entire game is about Edna Mode finally cracking over her hatred of capes when she sees Hornet.
A screenshot of one of the last bosses in Silksong. Our hero, Hornet, in her characteristic mask, needle, and red dress, faces off against a shadow with white eyes. It looks very similar to Edna Mode from the Incredibles, in this humble poster's opinion. Edna Mode from the Incredibles, looking magnificent as always. Note the similarity (particularly with her hair) to the antagonist from the prior shot.

Forgot to post this shot from last weekend. Always wonderful to head back
Clouds speckle the shot of downtown Chicago from however high a plane gets by the time it passes the Loop after taking off from O’Hare. The shot is looking south, with Navy Pier and the Sears Tower plainly visible. A wingtip can be seen, but it doesn’t block the view. The city is gorgeous, as it always is.

I was hoping to bring more skills over, but it seems the only skill I truly remember from Hades 1 going into Hades 2 is how to die #appropriateiguess

Knitting my nephew a blanket and I forgot how relaxing knitting can be. Pretty happy with how the pattern is coming out so far.
A close up of a partially knit (about 1 skein of yarn in) blanket; at its current width it’d be a great blanket for a snake. The yarn is a maroon or a burgundy, and the blanket is segmented into squares for a pattern. Stitch markers, along with one end of a connected pair of knitting needles, can be seen along the bottom, while various knickknacks and (let’s face it) clutter can be seen at the top. Ideally the blanket looks cozy.

If I had a nickel for every early 90s musical that had a song pining over moving to Santa Fe, I’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it is weird that it happened twice.

Also I started Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 a few days ago and this is basically how I feel about things so far
It's a Simpsons reference because of course it is. Marge is driving Bart and Lisa in the station wagon, and the kids are both looking a little full of ennui. Marge, her hair scrunched against the roof of the car, is saying "Devs, could you lighten up a little?". It's because Expedition 33 is a very, very dark game, you see.

One of my closest friends and I are getting ready to run one of the *nerdiest* one days in the already nerdy @learnedleague.com on Parliamentary and Congressional Procedure next week and the feedback on questions so far has been surprisingly positive and I am PUMPED.

@darthbluesky.bsky.social I can’t imagine I’m the first to tell you this but I had to make absolutely sure that you knew
It’s a dramatic movie poster for Air Bud Returns. The iconic dog is backlit in light that’s orange to the left and blue to the right. An adorable, fluffy paw is resting on a basketball. He looks spectacular, which is not hard because he’s friggin Air Bud and he is BACK.

I love Gritty for any number of reasons, but this will always be a masterpiece
It’s a shot from a hockey match between the Philadelphia Flyers and the Anaheim Ducks, but no hockey is actually seen (though the score is 0-1 Flyers, with 4:51 left in the first period). Instead, a corner of the arena is here. Gritty, the Flyers’ beloved eccentric, Mr. It themed mascot, has set up a lemonade stand in a corner of the arena, surrounded by fans. He is selling lemonade for an exorbitant price. He is also holding a sign up that says “No Grapes”. The Ducks’, well, duck mascot looks on with a look of dejection on its face. It’s a wonderful reference to the children’s song, The Duck Song and I keep laughing at it. I assume the duck waddles away sadly after this.

If you see this post a Pokémon, Animal Crossing villager, flower, and a color that you like! (aside: lol, I do not play animal crossing)
It's a screenshot of a tweet from @BulbaGanda. The user icon is a bulbasaur wearing a santa hat. The main picture is a bulbasaur, probably from Pokemon Sword/Shield, who has his eyes closed and is smiling happily. He is a delight, as all bulbasaur are. The tweet itself says "Bulbasaur Chinese name means 'Wonderful Seed Frog', which is pretty on point." I have no idea if that is actually true. I absolutely do not play animal crossing. I know nothing about it. I scrolled a list of villagers in a random wiki, and I liked this little penguin. She looks cheerful, and is wearing a cozy red button up cardigan. Her name is apparently Aurora. Knowing my luck, she's probably the secret animal crossing serial killer or something. Irises that my mom always has outside of my childhood home. The outer petals are a deep, rich purple, with vibrant white inner petals and a bright yellow stamen. I associate them with home. A lovely deep turquoise. It's the color of the ocean a little before sunset.

Maybe the devil's crying because of the poor translation here, did Spotify ever think of that?
It's a screenshot of a spotify window showing the current song in the playlist "Best of Video Game Music". The song is from the Devil May Cry original soundtrack (by the Capcom Sound Team) and spotify claims the song title is "Pubic Enemy". I can't imagine that's right, but maybe it is idk

This applies to all sports but - and I am not joking - it is absolutely something best understood by a baseball man.
From the Pope - In our competitive society, where it seems that only the strong and winners deserve to live, sport also teaches us how to lose. It forces us, in learning the art of losing, to confront our fragility, our limitations and our imperfections. It is through the experience of these limits that we open our hearts to hope. Athletes who never make mistakes, who never lose, do not exist.
