As a Texan, gods, I hope Talarico does win. It's as favorable a matchup as one could ask for. And I think you're correct about shockwaves just from him. I could see it massively invigorating Texas liberals for future victories. We haven't had a real win for so long.

I'm really curious how many hours I sank into pre-Steam Dwarf Fortress. Might rival EU4's 1500.

Bill Wurtz's line about "some of which almost didn't fail" will forever be my favorite descriptor. Is it entirely fair? No. Do I care? Also no.

Can confirm. 40 years old, and I annoyed my wife this summer by singing the "correct" lyrics to American Pie at a 4th of July party.

He always argued when we told him to get ready for bed, so I set Home Assistant to abruptly dim the lights and change them to a warmer hue at bedtime. He figured out what it meant pretty quickly, and he'd then recognize that it was bedtime rather than being *told* by a parent he could argue with.

...and dance until it's light." Might have missed a stanza, but should be pretty close considering that the board books period of my life is a few years distant now.

Though in my defense, back when my kid was a toddler, I did sort of integrate him into Home Assistant so I could automate away some of the bedtime battle.

Alex F @arramol.bsky.social · 20/09/2026
Hmm, with Home Assistant, you could get a button that triggers an automation to play a pre-recorded bell sound, but only during hours you specify. Overly complex solution? Probably. But effective? Hahaha no. Cat would just come bat you in the face the first time it didn't ring.

His WoT work was amazing because it's the kind of fantasy Sanderson excels at writing. ASoIaF is much darker and contains a lot of sexual violence. Sanderson is a devout Mormon who has never written an explicit sex scene across thousands of pages. He himself has said he's not comfortable with it.

I only really started exploring the genre a couple of years ago, when I stumbled onto Spotify's "Epic & Melodic" playlist. "Wireless" was on it at the time, and that got me hooked on WT.

And as a result, I saw her interesting anecdote that I probably wouldn't have seen if it had just been a reply. Which I'm pretty sure was her actual intention, not dunking on the guy who asked a question.

Tuomas Holopainen going with "Music" as the title for an album opener feels like an Abbott & Costello sketch. "The album begins with 'Music.'" "...don't they usually?"
