I knew I had this 1993 Angel Peach plush around somewhere! She's finally been reunited with the rest of the set and added to the website. Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! 🎄

Bagel is obviously a huge part of my special Night Thoughts. She passed between recording and air, & Hulu was kind enough to let us add a dedication to her at the end, to include her in all the marketing (bottom left of poster) & give her an actual credit on the special.
Bagel forever and ever.
Bagel forever and ever.

Lots of well-deserved love for Rhea Seehorn, but damn, the guy who plays Manousos is killing it, too

THEY'VE PUT ME ON THE POCKETSTATION COOP. I'M BEING RENDERED IN A 32 BY 32 GRID OF MONOCHROME PIXELS. THE BOYS BACK AT QUANTICO SAID THEY'RE GOING TO RELOCATE ME TO A "DOKO DEMO ISSYO" UNTIL THEY CAN GET THIS STRAIGHTENED OUT.

I fear the end is near for the broccoli plants in my garden that I tried growing from seed in late summer. We made it almost halfway through December, but they still haven't formed a crown, and now we're expecting our first big snowfall of the year and temperatures in the low teens tomorrow. 😔

Yes it's true! Instead of the Game Awards I recommend watching my GDC lecture on the state of video game preservation. I put my entire ass into this and it would mean a lot if you watched. youtu.be/_00AjQNjgDk

While the paper hasn't come out just yet, the news certainly has. Proud to announce our discovery of color patterning in a sauropod dinosaur. Will go in depth tomorrow.

Congrats to re-elected Albuquerque Mayor Tim Keller (D).
This is the first, but it may not be the only electoral victory for someone who has appeared on PLURIBUS.

In honor of the Wii U's 13th anniversary (of the Japanese launch) and Rhea Seehorn fucking finally getting a Golden Globe nomination, here's the current state of my Better Call Saul shrine, which lives in my office next to my Wii U.

Rhea Seehorn is finally a Golden Globe nominee for her performance in ‘PLURIBUS’
She was never nominated for ‘BETTER CALL SAUL’ during that show’s run.

Of all of the 40+ years worth of video game consoles in my house, the Wii U is the only one that I currently have hooked up in my home office. (Wii Fit U continues to be the best weight management tool I've ever used, and I still check in with it daily.)

Apparently when you preorder a game six and a half years before it actually comes out, that creates some unique challenges for stores trying to find your order.
