In one of my previous posts, I did a quick comparison of the social media sites that many of the Twitter diaspora had moved to and BlueSky was the one I liked best out of those places. A few months have passed and my assessment of those sites hasn’t really changed, other than I’ve pretty … Read More
I’ve been playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, which is a fantastic new game that was just released. The sound design and Foley work in this game is insanely well done — crisp, clean, immersive. Just pitch-perfect.

Week 45 has concluded and curiously, President 45 got re-elected, so Grover Cleveland no longer sits alone in the Non-Consecutive Club.
