"In the vast abyss before time, self is not, and soul commingles with mist, and rock, and light." #DaylightSavingTime with Ursula K. Le Guin and Neil Gaiman themarginalian.org/2019/01/08/nei…

I love the deep woods in Spring, when they smell of growth and show all the colors of renewal, but I most love them in Fall, with their freshly fallen floors and crisp breezes that sing in crinkled and fluttering foliage.

There are times, when I’m trying a new recipe or making a major change to an old recipe, I just know when I’m done it’s gong to be outstanding. There are times I’m just not sure it’s going to turn out. There are times, like tonight, I’m pretty sure it’s going to be shit. 🤞

I don’t know that I could pick a favorite Michael Caine movie, but Dirty Rotten Scoundrels might be it.

Easy access to guns is deadly for women & families. While you hear most about mass shootings in public places like schools, churches or grocery stores, the fact is over half are domestic violence-related. Horrifically this weekend alone, two men shot and killed entire families 🧵

Checking which retweets are real and which are not is already becoming very tiresome. I suspect I’m not long for here. I can’t see doing Mastodon, though, so I suspect I’ll just miss out in keeping up with folks. 😢

Black Panther 2 was fantastic, albeit freshly saddening.

I’m happy to have Mythic Quest back in my life poking fun at dorky things.

The number of pizza slicers I’ve bought in the last decade is maddening. I can only think my kids are throwing them away in “empty” pizza boxes.

Finally getting started on Andor. I thought Rings of Power was slow. 🥱

Time to wrap a mess of ribs.

I’ve been too busy to visit this site the last few days and I log on now and everyone is talking like it might not be here tomorrow. What’d I miss!?

Just created a branch named half-ogre/what-the-hell, so my night is going well.

Turns out I still hate mocks, mocking frameworks, and generated mocks with all my soul. I am missing hand-crafted fakes and state assertions in this codebase.

I assume there isn't anyone around to make such changes, but it sure seems like there are more blue checkmarks followed by people I follow in my timeline. If I wanted to see them, I'd have followed them. ☹️

I am nothing if not a follower, I guess: hachyderm.io/web/@halfogre. Not sure about it yet, though.

I have a bunch of leftover BBQ ribs that have been reheated one time too many, so I am thinking of making Boston-style baked beans but with that instead of salt pork and a heck of a lot more meat. Here's hoping it turns out well.

I popped back over here for a bit because some of the folks I really like keeping up with have gone dark on Mastodon and ... what the heck!? Timeline full of people I don't follow, mentions broken, missing tweets. What a mess.
