A cute bird stares warily at a person. The bird is chowing down on seeds, perched on a sunflower.

Gorgeous birds out eating sunflower seeds today.

@demilardner.bsky.social I am listening to episode 296 - (The inevitable disrespect of the NYC pigeon) and I am wondering if you're willing to share your laksa recipe. It sounds amazing and I want to cook it.

I bet you freaking communists of Bluesky have some second thoughts about releasing the Epstein lists now that you know it might include your favorite politician of all-time William Jefferson Clinton

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Man, running game events is stressful, and I'm not even in the room for it. Still, nothing gets the adrenaline pumping like 'there's 40 people in a room depending on the game to work smoothly for a competitive experience' and then the servers have a momentary hiccup. #indiedev #gamedev

@boontavista.com The moment when Andrew hard launches "Plapril" in Bonus episode: The Velvet Underground Of Teaching Orangutans To Breastfeed by saying "Give our show a little plug" and Theo says "flared base" under his breath and nobody mentions it. Feedback: You're all beautiful and perfect.

Okay, this is pretty cool - seeing the way the game's progressed is neat. I'll have to see if I can dig up any of the even older footage I have.

The year is 2029. @boontavista.com episodes now consist of nothing but 60 straight minutes of tortured segues into original themes for segments. Listenership is in the hundreds of millions.

It took a disturbingly long time for me to figure out how to produce additional ships and I'm still not really sure how to build more capital ships.

I don't really understand the point of the illustrations over the ship types - it seems to obscure the thing I care about, which is 'what does the ship do'. It's also not particularly clear (at least immediately) what each ship does. I'm gonna keep playing, just my first thoughts.
