Could you help us out? It's been one of the quietest months in a decade, and partly I believe it's because people don't know we exist! Hi! I'm Annie! I run Bad Squiddo Games! We hand sculpt & hand cast 28mm scale models of women, critters, scenics & occasionally a man!

I work as an elder and hospice caregiver, which I am oddly passionate about. I can love on them shamelessly and no one complains about my codependence. It's a win-win situation. Many of my caregiving colleagues complain about the repetitive questions and, sometimes reactions, of the elderly, especially when those patients happen to read the newspaper, especially with the current downward spiral of our country — as if these people haven't lived through enough horror... I love my dementia peeps, but sometimes wonder if there's a Guinness Book World Record for how many times an hour a dementia patient can repeat the same question — it's got to be in the hundreds. At least with small children, they ask different questions. Dementia patients will get stuck on one short question and ask it until you can interrupt their train(carousel) of thought and successfully redirect their attention. That carousel is pretty manic sometimes. A couple days ago, I picked up my mail from the post office and drove over to the nursing home to take (let's call her "Miss Daisy") Miss Daisy out for a drive. Before we took off on our road trip, to the end of The Road and back, in our landlocked little town (Juneau, Alaska), I set my copy of The Onion down in front of her. Over our two-hour excursion, tiny Miss Daisy read that front page at least a dozen times and each time she would snicker, giggle, and guffaw, then put it down on the dash board and, a minute later, discover it anew. I think it was the best afternoon of my life. We don't often hear them laugh and when they do, it's the sweetest thing you've ever heard. ... Thank you, thank you, thank you, for the really important work all of you do. You make the world a better place.

I got permission to share this, and I'm extremely grateful for that.

The Onion got this letter from one of our subscribers in Alaska. She works with dementia patients and decided to leave a copy in the car for each one.

This email made my year. Read it and you'll see what I mean. People are good.

wish that there was a congressional body that could do something about it

because it makes you smile and stop being anxious, i.e. makes you numb again

if this made you smile, you don’t realize this message is part of the propaganda machine

I’d paint them in my team colors. I hire them, I equip them. Also my team sponsor would be pissed if I didn’t.

If you think that Liquid Glass is a copycat of Windows Aero, then you have to admit that Windows Aero was a copycat of Aqua. Oh and linux desktop environments have had transparent interfaces for aeons, why didn’t you bring them up?

protesters surround federal detention center in Los Angeles

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Looks too close to a coup. Sorry for you, guys. The Capitol incident will be child’s play compared to it. I wish I can be proved wrong.

I want them in my Blood Bowl teams

wife: how was guarding the two paths today, honey?

guard: [looking away] fine

wife: did something happen?

guard: [tearing up] no

wife: would the other guard tell me something happened?

I keep reading awful stuff about Trump and how it’s undermining Congress and the Constitution. Not being American, it’s weird to me to see Americans letting this happen with only mild protests. Wasn’t there supposed to be something called checks and balances to avoid precisely this?

I loved this game, recently I was thinking about it and how you could down two birds with one arrow. Whoever recorded this video was ace, I always missed a lot of shots 😵

I'm just gonna ... put this riiiiiiiiiight here on everybody's screen.

un déficit de hostias es lo que tienen algunos. Ese palurdo no tiene idea de lo que pregunta, jamás ha sido autónomo y si no tiene trabajo es porque es un nini, no porque se lo quite nadie

@gruber.foo I think you left an unclosed strikethrough tag on daringfireball.net/linked/2025/..., which spills on the next articles on the homepage

I dig your Amiga and BeOS stickers 👏🏻

wow! My parents had the Kodak version IIRC

Cover image of THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK, featuring hot orcs and a ginger himbo bard.

Book 1 of THE HUNGER AND THE DUSK is out this week, and I'd love your help getting the word out. This is my pandemic baby, born in a hellish summer of simultaneous lockdowns and wildfires, set in a world in a similar state of ecological collapse. It's got all your fave high fantasy tropes w a twist.

I think the guy is meant to give you a side quest
