This is wild - somebody did a deep dive into the real stories behind this famous XKCD: sheets.works/data-viz/hol...
an XKCD comic showing a precariously assembled tower of blocks. much is labelled "all modern digital infrastructure." a thin leg down at the bottom is labelled "A project some random person in Nebraska has been thanklessly maintaining since 2003."

Seahawk thoughts: not good against the run today. That was way too close. For my AFC folks - how about them Raiders ?!?

I don’t watch much Eagles football and now I know why. You have the Rams down and out and choke it back to Stanford and co.

Messing around with Muse (no, I don't trust these things) and I mentioned an interest if Springsteen was touring. A few days later it came back with this weird offer. Turns out Tom Morello is playing somewhere, Bruce is a guest. I would not want to give my credit card to this bot.

I didn’t get to watch the Commanders upset the Hawks. I did wonder if the Hawks were getting too much love of late; maybe some complacency? Hopefully this fires them up. At least the Rams lost. #nfl

The NFL once again making it virtually impossible to watch “out of market” games. Want to watch the Seahawks? Nope, even with paying money Fox is only showing the Washington / Dallas game. Getting harder and harder to justify streaming.

I still think the 49ers will turn to sawdust over the season but man they clobbered the Rams tonight. Can’t imagine many predicted that. Maybe that whole sleeping thing is important after all? #nfl

Seahawks D getting into Maye’s head reminds me of how LOB used to mess with Kaepernick. Talented QB but somehow the D would just rattle his brain around.

Good pre-call by Collinsworth noting JSN was likely single-covered. Go Hawks!

A thing I know is that the Hawks are unlikely to repeat with Lock at QB. Not a great start but it’s early still.

So Turnus, the big bad enemy and analog to Hector — has the gods give him a s****y sword that breaks into dust. While Aeneas has magical armor. Kind of a scrub founder story. www.audible.com/pd/B002VA9BZ...

Back to the Aeneid. After being a whiny scrub, we finally get mighty Aeneas in battle. It’s a bit of the Achilles / Patroclus deal but with less emotion. But at last he fights ! #audiobooks www.audible.com/pd/B002VA9BZ...

The league is better with Kittle in it, glad he is recovering well. (Except the two against the Hawks each year. Should stay home for those, watch a movie or something)

Turns out Aeneas is more of a scrub with Dido than I recalled. He “married” her but then had a tiny technicality (no groom torch) but to everyone in the world it was marriage. Lots of “running away” going on for the Founder. Total s*** and we are about to see more of it too. #audiobook

Ooh, it gets worse. He runs back in to find her... and "dares to yell her name" but then magically finds her ghost (spoiler: she is dead). Ghost tells him "Gods say we aren't meant to go together. You will find Italy and such... and a queen as a new wife." C'mon man. Kinda convenient. #book

Bricin @bricin.bsky.social · 16/08/2026
As a founding myth for Rome, Aeneas is a bit s***. During the sack of Troy he magically hears from his mom (Venus) to run away. Puts his dad on his back and takes off. His wife, Creusa, falls behind and is picked off. "I never saw her again". Pretty shabby stuff.
