When Google Reader died, NewsBlur was one of the services that popped up to fill the void and it’s been fantastic.

Considering how aggressively focused on its users it has been for over a decade, it’s disappointing to see this own goal on adding AI features.

My #WhiskyAdvent is off to a crackin’ start. A 21-year old Balvenie with a portwood finish. Very nice!

This is your irregular reminder that there is a movie you can watch over and over again between Halloween season and Christmas because it fits both.

Nightmare before what? Huh?

No, I'm of course talking about Rare Exports, the extremely normal Finnish Christmas movie! Kids will love it!

Scrolled way down and I’m so disappointed no one did this yet. On Bluesky, of all places!

Can't even escape MAGA grift in my *whisky* hobby.

Halloween is a night of monsters, but tonight, I… *I* am the _real_ monster.

Made a Raccoon Fink pumpkin this year. We always carve ours Halloween night.

In the 19 years I’ve owned this shirt, it’s gone from being seen as a nerdy play on words to being a clear symbol of my anti-government communist sympathies. 🫠
