I was poking at Jaz's Atlas tool. atlas.jazco.dev and was wondering why we had 3 adult clusters. I zoomed in, only to find the following (kobold fantasies), and decided I'm probably better off not knowing more.

Now that’s a football fan. The guy has Chelsea football club tattooed (I assume) on both calves.

Played Puerto Rico special edition last night and it was a gorgeous game. Definitely terrible at playing but highly replayable.

The Puerto Rico special edition game board on a plaid tabletop. There are three boats, and marketplace, a worker pool, and estates to choose from - along with different tasks per turn such as building or recruiting that you can do.

Tbh part of why people hate decaf is the lack of caffeine - but also because it’s usually badly done with heavy chemicals. I used to drink terrible quality decaf as I switched to low caffeine options and when the first smell is more like burnt rubber, you aren’t doing yourself any favours.

@joshpetri.bsky.team accused me of being a coffee snob. Considering I’m happily watching a brewing competition and now have a backpack full of decaf beans to try… he’s probably right.

Found it appropriate that I'm trying out claude code for the first time and I get something with tentacles as a buddy for T&S that mutters about 'false positives'.

Has been on my calendar for months.

a calendar reminder that says Verify Jerry, on today, the first of April.

Is it a joke? Is it temporary? Could it be permanent? Who knows?

I was thinking of William Rolfson aka genocide and was like - I do not remember him being that cute and harmless. Nope different character. Also with a skull for a head.

Character in a giant cyborg suit smashing the ground with one giant arm/gun. The head of the suit is a transparent sphere where you see a flaming skull within.

Caught up with a friend that I worked with after the conference. He says, "I grabbed some beer and some cheese". In Brussels it seems you can just order half a loaf of bread and a block of cheese as a snack. I see this is how the Europeans live, and possibly why we can't have nice things.

Two glasses of a very pale beer in the background. A platter with two knives, a full block of comte cheese, and about 12 slices of bread with some mustard on a blue napkin.

Listening to the Prime Minister of Montenegro today in Brussels on their efforts against foreign manipulation. Look forward to later panels on LLM poisoning and might even live post if that's of interest to folks.

Prime Minister of Montenegro speaks at a podium. His podium and the background are in blue, and there's an EU flag behind him. He wears a dark suit with a red tie. The conference is on countering foreign manipulation.

Played Spirit Island for the first time last night. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart. 4 hours of playing later and I think I may understand the basics. It’s the most complicated board game I’ve ever played.

The board game for Spirit island showing a star shaped island with a patchwork of lands. The board has multiple counters, people, coloured tokens, cities/towns on it, while being surrounded by cards. A man’s hand is pointing to one of the lands.

Pondering whether or not to do this as an April Fool's joke this year.

What it’s like working in Trust and Safety in 2025. Always a delight.

A user complains to me about the lack of cheese and onion hula hoops. I apologise. They tell me to shut up.

Totally wild to me that Irish politics ends up being #2 in trending on Bluesky. Congrats to Catherine Connolly on her win as the new Irish President and looking forward to Bluesky having more globally representative trends in the future!

Top trends on Bluesky with Catherine Connolly being the second item on the list. The other items are the NBA tip off, Caturday, World Series, and Blue Jays.

Proud of myself for making my fav Korean street food today - tteokbokki. Did I have to eat several bowls of it. No. I don't highly recommend ODing on the stuff.

Tteokbokki, or simmered rice cake, is a popular Korean food made from small-sized rice cakes, fish cakes, in a spicy orange sauce, topped with scallions and sesame oil.

hmm, wanted to try out skyfeed, but can't seem to login - any ideas? I did generate an app password, but the continue button stays greyed out.
