The King is mad

A screenshot from Dragon Care Tarot, featuring a three card spread: five of swords, six of wands, and king of wands. The text reads, "The cosmos beckons you to shine bright and leave the rest to fate. Take comfort in survival itself: the future happens at its own pace."

I want tarot gays to find my game! We worked so hard on the reading procgen, I'm so proud of the ~ * grammar * ~

Ok, but have you had the yellow ones? The yellow ones have all the flavor, the pretty pink ones steal the spotlight.

Its like watching people yelling through really thick soundproof glass

There are at least three discourses on Bluesky today that I see only through people complaining about them.

I do a lot of blocking - if someone is Twitter-style rage posting, even in comment, I check their feed. If there’s no normal posts, I block them

Just blocking a few weirdos rebalances you!

For me the most useful writing in CS is Alvy Ray Smith's memos.

Straightforward and unapologetic, doesnt try to fluff out a book or convice a conference reviewer.

just "ok I thought about it and here's what graphics is"

Other forms of writing try to convince you with examples, celebrity quotes, allegories, personal stories.

The memo is a form that does not apologize or convince.

It is the "Listen up fuckers" of writing.

"Concise helpful memo" is one of the best forms of writing and I will die on this hill*

It aint bad. There’s a texture difference, but the chicken flavour ads something.

So maybe we also need to ramen-flavour Kraft mac

My best success was deepfried bourbon -

soak blueberries in bourbon over a few nights,

dry them,

bread them in cornmeal batter

and deep fry

The blueberry makes a perfect buffer: long-term permeable for liquid transfer, short-term watertight during frying

Quatro cheese buldak instant noodles

Some are already living in the future, we can join them

We must
Discover how to deep fry a smoothie.

Kraft Mac is American Ramen

They should experiment with form factor and packaging in that direction

Yes! We have a lot of it in Denmark (famous for banning the two spiciest varieties)

Introducing ramen-speed to Italian style noodle dishes is inspired, though has mixed results (cheese works better than tomatoes)

Ok, but have you *met* February? It knows what it did.

Oooh, what is it in your language? I'm ordering seeds from across Europe, so my orders are very multilingual, and its really nice to hear everyones common garden terms

You've had a visit from "Right-Hands Roger", common garden cryptid

This is gonna cause the *weirdest* olympic doping scandal

Hungarian wax pepper - Wikipedia

Hot wax. The picklin' pepper

GREAT SCOTT, a giant red tomatoe. Runner up: "Green Doctor" a small green varietal thats less good for yelling but can probably get you a weed prescription.

Raf Heirloom, a sinister black and red tomato. "Not very high, very strong". I dunno, he looks pretty high

Columbianum Wildform. A perky pink grape tomato

Rosella Magenta, high-yielding and reliable, just what you want in a maid in a sinister castle

*throws toilet paper at the screen*

hey fun fact
did you know that you can recast Rocky Horror with tomato varietals

Rocky organic tomato, a big beefy red

Janets Jewel, small blond with "Large Fleshy Fruit" Heyooo

Frankenstein Black tomato. Broad shouldered, needs to be staked

Meat Breakfast tomatoes, apricot orange large tomato, "Origin is unknown"

This was too easy

If there's not a tomato varietal named after every Rocky Horror character, I'll eat my hat.

I havent found a European source of Charlie's Mortgage Lifter, which was the first tomato I grew, because of the name.

Grow the tomato that says "fuck the banks"

Atomic sunset tomatoes, red and yellow striped

Brads Atomic Grape, a real but hallucinagenic colored tomato in green, flame red, and goth purple streaks

Oh, yeah, its one of the major reasons to get into collecting tomatoes/pokemons.

I've got some Brads Atomic and Atomic Sunset coming in the mail from Sweden this week.

This is my pokémon
