What is the movie that came out before you were born that you've watched the most times?

Casablanca - also my favorite film of all-time.

Kinda both? I bought an empty (but custom skinned!) cabinet kit from VirtuaPin and put everything into it myself. I didn't think myself capable of woodworking or anything like that. Plus this thing is a TANK.

Fired up The Witcher 3 Remastered tonight. Took me a few minutes to remember how to play, and much longer to go through the new skill tree, but then I fell right back into it. God I love this game. Can't wait for Songs of the Past!

I didn't get a ton of stuff at Baltimore Comic-Con (I was mostly there to see people) but I couldn't resist this Wolverine sketch by @jesselonergan.bsky.social. He does so much with so little here.

We said our goodbyes to Ariel Mermaid Princess Dog Bergman today. She was the best dog, friend, protector, pillow, and unofficial D&D party member anyone could ever ask for. We had 16 wonderful years with her.

Another SPX down. Talked to lots of people, picked up lots of cool stuff. It remains the best comics show anywhere. Big enough to get lost in, small enough that you get to talk to pretty much anyone and everyone.

In honor of the fact that today is both Rosh Hashanah and day one of SPX, I'm wearing my Nancy and Sluggo tie to temple this morning.

The fact that I can do this is why Bluesky is the only social network I'm still on (there are other reasons, but this is a big one).

I ordered tea from the Tea Centre of Stockholm (I import my morning cup of tea from Sweden because I'm that kind of pretentious) and the tape on the package raises some serious questions.

Verdict on the White Chocolate Banana Cream Pie: oooh yeah. The pudding is a little artificial tasting, but the white chocolate goes so well with it. And there's four whole bananas in there, so lots of flavor. 750,000/10. This is great pie.

I hate the Prince estate as much as the next guy (I'm still salty over the binned documentary) but the "new" album Timeless is actually really good. Hopefully we get more solid releases from the vault.

I took this photo last night while playing with the cat. She was so wide-eyed while I was swinging her felt-on-a-string around. Also this morning I came down to find the toy on the floor. I suspect she wanted to keep playing after we had gone to sleep.

SiriusXM rolled out new changes to their channel listings, and they've taken Lithium off sattelite (it's still in the app, just not OTA). Lithium was by far my most listened to channel! I guess this is yet another indignity for us middle age grunge fans.

Day two: even better! I did warm it up before serving, and again really, really great with vanilla ice cream. This is excellent pie.

Jason X @jasonxbergman.com · 29/08/2026

Verdict on the Peach Carmel Pie: fantastic! It's very sweet, as you'd imagine from a filling of peaches, caramel, and literally nothing else. But it tastes great, especially when served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. And I'm very pleased with the bake. 900,00/10. This is great pie.

Watching the Twin Peaks documentary on the Z to A DVD set, and oh my god do I love Julee Cruise. She died in 2022. RIP to a legend.

Verdict on the Blueberry with Lavender and Cream Cheese Crumble Pie: outstanding! Mostly it's a great blueberry pie, but the lavender adds a nice subtle flavor. And I couldn't be happier with the bake. Just flawless. 750,000/10. This is great pie.

Verdict on the Lemon Meringue Chess Pie: pretty damn amazing. It is exactly as described. A lemon chess pie with meringue on top. And that's pretty great. Those are both pies I love, so not a shocker. 1,500,000/10. Is it better than a lemon meringue? Maybe? Who cares! This is excellent pie.

Because the only thing better than pie is TWO pies, I made a Tomato and Cheddar Pie for dinner. Came out pretty good, actually. Recipe here, if anyone wants it: cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/7853...

Well, it might not look it, but this pie IS great. Despite the exterior, it set perfectly inside. The filling is VERY cherry-forward. Mostly cherries, with some plums and a hint of bourbon. If you like cherries, this is the pie for you. 500,000/10. It ain't perfect, but it is delicious pie.

030

Jason X @jasonxbergman.com · 01/08/2026

O humbled lords of kitchen accidents, I stumble before you today with my latest offering: a Sweet Cherry Pie. May its delicious flavor conjure happy memories of summertime, while distracting from its most visible flaws. #pieforthepiegods

Day two with this pie, and yeah...I really like it. It's still no looker, but the taste is truly excellent.

O forgiving lords of summer swelter, I humbly cross the scorched sands to present my latest offering: a Peach Raspberry Pie. May its unusual combination of flavors make up for its somewhat unnerving appearance. #pieforthepiegods

Jason X @jasonxbergman.com · 20/07/2026

Day two: it's even better. What a great pie. My only complaint: I didn't make two. 😭

020

Jason X @jasonxbergman.com · 19/07/2026

Verdict on the Icebox Lemon Pie: truly excellent. Unlike last weekend's pie, this one has a good ol' graham cracker crust. That with the lemon filling and whipped cream topping is perfection. Light, tangy, and refreshing. 150,000,000/10. This is a great summer pie.

Jason X @jasonxbergman.com · 19/07/2026

O destructive lords of the hazy summer skies, I braved the toxic atmosphere to present my latest offering: an Icebox Lemon Pie. May this fluffy and delicate confection of citrus flavor be worthy of your approval. #pieforthepiegods

Another great example: Audrey walks into the diner, and hits the jukebox, and that crazy jazz music comes out. And then when she's talking to Donna she says, "I love this music. Isn't it too dreamy?" Again, just a big red light flashing. I love it so much.

Twin Peaks. Audrey saying, "I love this music."

I'm rewatching Twin Peaks - which absolutely holds up, by the way - and what I love the most is when Angelo Badalamenti's score inexplicably goes diegetic. Like this scene, where Audrey is just swaying to it. It's a honking red light screaming, "THIS IS NOT OUR WORLD."

Ahhh lunch pie. The greatest of all pies. (Two days later, this pie is still great)

010

Jason X @jasonxbergman.com · 11/07/2026

Verdict on the Atlantic Beach Pie: surprisingly great? The crust is still crumbly, but it came together much better than expected. I still don't love saltines as a flavor, but it does taste good. But that filling! Exquisite. So refreshing. 500,000/10. This is the pie you want on a hot summer day.

010

Jason X @jasonxbergman.com · 11/07/2026

Final assembly with whipped cream, some lemon and lime zest, and a bit of flaked sea salt. I'm still unconvinced by the crust, but we'll know soon enough.

O sun-bleached lords of the ocean breeze, I slowly make my way across your sandy shores to present my latest offering: an Atlantic Beach Pie. May this delicate combination of citrus custard be worthy of your approval. #pieforthepiegods
