A flashback to my old blog where I reviewed the Jones Soda 2006 Holiday Pack, with turkey and gravy, sweet potato, dinner roll, pea, and antacid flavored sodas. I tested these with some friends after Thanksgiving dinner, we all threw up, and it ruined the entire holiday.

There is an amazing array of #wargames on display at Wargaming Initiative in NATO (WIN) 2025. The games explore everything from space warfare, Arctic operations, naval operations, and information & influence operations. #NATO wargaming is growing and entering an exciting chapter.

If a new Epstein File revelation falls in a forest but no one's held accountable, does it make a sound?

MY going-away lunch after a year in Afghanistan (late Sep 2014). I'm still in contact with three of these guys and still have that pakol hat. Don't know if the other two are even still alive.

Eh, not bad for fiddling around for ten minutes. Just a simple, eight-step sequence with some randomized percussion. High frequencies are still a little rough.

ICYMI, this happened over the weekend!
My Space Quest site, Roger Wilco's Virtual Broomcloset, launched 30 years ago this month. That makes it one of the oldest video game fan sites on the web.
To celebrate the milestone, I've updated the site for the first time in ages with tons of new content. Check it out! wiw.org/~jess/roger.html

I'm streaming Slime Rancher at 7pm EST, but we're going to use the first part of the stream to talk about food pantries and blessing boxes, how to support them, and frequently overlooked items.
I used to run a pantry serving 500 families a month in rural AL.

As wobble has been pointing out there are alot of common things that arent given as much, though in all truth the best thing you can give is cash and time
Most food kitchens/pantries can get things at rates that we cannot in bulk

A lesson for econ—don’t get too obsessed with efficiency
I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.
Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?
But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

The destruction of the East Wing really bums me out in a way that I wasn't expecting.
I guess some of it is about the destruction of history. But I think it's mostly about the feeling of helplessness. There's nothing we can do to stop him.
Nobody is coming to save us. And it's going to get worse.

Smiting and vengeance is so much easier than forgiveness and charity
A lot of evangelicals seem to be more attracted to the vengeful God of the Old Testament than the forgiving God of the New.
