Some of my favorite scenes in game of thrones were the night-before-the-horrific-battle scenes… the mix of anticipation, hope, terror, resignation… all hanging still in the air, smelling of sweat and grime and blood and steel, everyone’s faces like stone made flesh, clutching at life and innocence, staring empty through the gauzy veil of death…
Not mentioning this for any reason having to do with anything going on
Finally some rain. Even just a little moisture in the soil brings my house’s foundation piers back to life, and the doors that aren’t supposed to stick stop sticking. And the ones that are, resume sticking
Rings of power, season 2, episode 8, cold open, one of the best scenes in the entire franchise

Apple Internet Router is killing my Mac SE. I see someone on #GlobalTalk is using a Cisco router. I have a 2520 that supports AppleTalk. Man I don't want to configure hundreds of individual tunnels (though I will if I have to). Not sure how to configure an open-ended tunnel though…

It's awful, but also just so fundamentally *surreal* that one campaign is basically "like playing xbox? That's cool, I also like that", and then visiting a puppy farm and asking cute kids what they want to be when they are older as the other party re-enacts hitler rallies for a festival of hate
Gravy would never do this to me. But that’s why I take it for granted

I wonder what else I’m overthinking
“Are you sure you want to quit?”
App, you have no idea

In an attic
On the floor
The grandchildren sit
And scroll through
All the pictures
On a phone
As they look
At a life
Frame by frame
“I can not
Believe he did
All these things”
