Today is the day that we remember that Plato had an underappreciated role in the development of D&D.

Playing with the new iPhone. So far a worthy upgrade. Focus tracking alone is an under-praised feature in the reviews I’ve read.

OK… so it’s all really great. And I just updated my pledge with the secret link. And the preview ep today confirms just how much I’m going to love this show. BUT… when I updated my pledge I looked at the new number and feel like I won in Vegas. DOUBLES! Massive congratulations all around!

"Scientists confirm reality."

Screenshot with test highlighted reading: In the most comprehensive study of its kind, scientists have found that generally, the world feels brighter when you wake up. People start the day in the best frame of mind in the morning, but end in the worst, at about midnight, the findings suggest, with the day of the week and the season also playing a part.

Yeah. This is a fountain of fire at a local outdoor mall. It seems like I should make some sort of environmental joke about such a structure. But maybe the fountain itself is enough.

Was it out of a weird Successories spin-off? Here are two more. I think they’re part of the same set?

Pete D. Wright @itsmepete.com · 08/01/2025

I don’t understand this. On further exploration of my old Facebook archive from years back, I found this set of photos posted without context. Was this part of a campaign or meme of some sort in the early 2010s?

Another gem from about 15 years ago. Neighborhood block party. My daughter shoots the beanbag arrow. Son holds the hoop. I hold the camera. Arrow hits me square in the junk and drops me. Classic block party antics.

Even more importantly, in my Facebook archive, I found this video of my long gone cat, Cassie, that gives me a dose of joy right about now. Also featuring Netflix envelope and iPhone 4 dock and bumper case.

I don’t know who does the newsletters for @transistor.fm, but whoever it is has exceptional taste in recommending that fantastic new show from @trustory.fm and my pal @sodacreekfilm.bsky.social … That “Cinema Scope” sounds terrific! ;-) Thanks for including us @justinjackson.ca!

Fascinating. Dueling images from MidJourney and Image Playground. Both created iMacs, and both enforce a duel-mouse life?

So, this is apparently a reasonable facsimile of me from Image Playground on iOS 18.2? Maybe everyone just needs a lighthouse.

We were talking about Cyberpunk 2077 and the character setup out of context to a podcast we were recording. Turns out it’s very thorough.

For those looking for alt-history, this is pretty good.

Dear my non-American friends:
I know Thanksgiving's a little confusing, so I'll try to break it down for you. Today is the day we celebrate the freeing of the United States from the reign of terror of Lord Gobble, a 50-foot tall turkey/Sasquatch hybrid who demanded human sacrifices every November. In 1863, Abraham Lincoln rode his eagle-gryphon into battle, singlehandedly slaying Lord Gobble and freeing us from our blood oath to our fearsome tyrant.
In celebration of this momentous victory, we consume the corpses of his descendants and parade our largest and most influential cartoon characters through the streets of New York as a display of power, so that history will not repeat itself.
Hope that clears things up.

Some photo library bloat. Very much looking forward to merge duplicated working in #ios16 Photos. It’s still choking on the whole batch but in small doses it’s increasingly reliable.

Oh, what's that? Got a message that I have to put my address in Apple PodcastsConnect? Sure! I have a few seconds right now... oh... I forgot. Always broken. Always and forever.
