Screenshot of a YouTube thumbail. Image is from the game Death's Door at the beginning of the fight with the Frog King. The king towers over the little reaper crow and the text "KING OF THE SWAMP" is stamped over the top. My little Max.png sits in the lower left.
Inigo Montoya, Vinzinni, and Fezzik from the Princess Bride stare down at the camera. Subtitle reads "Inconceivable!"
Picture of the incoming rain, from the lodge. Was impressive to watch it march across the lake.

Our front yard, covered in fallen pin oak leaves and pools of water from the heavy rain. Pin oak can be seen in the top right, still holding on to even more leaves, the jerk. Neighbor houses in background, with some homemade Christmas decorations.

Two Bsky skeets next to each other Technology Connections @techconnectify.bsky.social And that's what I'm railing against - if paywalls are the only way you can think of to fund journalism, then you're going to perpetuate this world where good faith actors are battling influencers on social media peddling whatever new crap is on the market. We need an exit from that now. (new quote post next in timeline) Iron Spike @ironspike.bsky.social Been saying this for awhile, honestly. The future for uncompromised, user-prioritized online platforms is inevitably paywalls. Advertising-driven monetization ruins every platform it touches. (quoted post follows) Hank Green @hankgreen.bsky.social How do we all feel about the possibility that the long-term viability of a platform like this remaining not crappy would require many of us to pay a small monthly fee.
