If I was to record a biweekly podcast playing commander games and was looking for a camera to upgrade to that would be able to focus in my cards in a legible way - what camera should I get?

If the computer says something that's obviously dumb, it just means that you're the dumb one. You didn't ask right

Arguably worse. “I understand this is hurting you and I will persist in doing it.”

I get the same amount regardless so I have no actual preference, buy it from wherever you like, from an economic point of view it's all the same to me. That said, if you also want to support a local indie bookseller while getting ebooks:

The elephantine figure of Cthulhu and his octopoid head, sculpted in sand. He is attended by a couple of fish-headed mer people that rise out of the sand to form his throne.

A close up of Cthulhu, sculpted in sand. He bears a crown and one of his fish-person attendants supports his finned arm with their hand. Their wide fish mouth hangs open as their round eyes gaze skyward.

Went up the coast to Parksville to check out the results of the sand castle contest and someone sculpted Cthulhu.

Alex on twitter writes: "Someone on Twitter writes: "You’re a menswear writer. You don’t know anything about manufacturing in America, or steel mills, or metallurgy, or CNC machining, or how anything is produced from raw material into a finished product in this country or anywhere. Stick to writing about “men’s fashion."" I reply: "i actually had a career in knifemaking before this. the reason why you can't avoid tariffs in knifemaking is because everyone relies on Gobelin machinery. are you aware of this?" Alex replies: "Gobelin machinery? What exactly are you referring to?" I reply: "you Gobelin DEEZ NUTS!"

Bit of a mind fuck, and therefore hard for me to follow at times. Interesting to see a near future that we seem to have already passed. The surveillance state we have is more sophisticated (and more corporate).

The last pod was fucking insane - @mentalmisplay.bsky.social (and Korvold, I guess) remain unde-fucking-feated!

Which Carrie Fisher are you today? Nine different pictures of Carrie Fisher flipping someone off.

Oh.

I have seen a significant uptick in that sort of thing recently, yes.

A white plate on a brown wooden table, with a dinner consisting of: butterflied chicken breast, pan-fried and seasoned with Cavender’s Greek seasoning; mujadara; and a Middle Eastern inspired chop salad of cucumber and tomato, with parsley, lemon juice, and salt.

Okay, maybe I didn’t botch it.

Trying to make mujadara for the first time and, typically, making a mess of it.

Maybe not the *strongest* reaction, but I saw The Siege (Denzel, Tony Shalhoub, et al) in the theater when I was in language school.

When the line “!ابن شرموطة" was uttered, you could tell where the Arabic students in the audience were by the guffaws.

(It means, roughly, “son of a whore/bitch.”)

Exquisite Exandria: The Official Cookbook of @criticalrole.bsky.social by Liz Marsham

This is a fun themed cookbook set in-universe to Exandria, the setting of Critical Role's main stories (Vox Machina, Mighty Nein, etc.).

The only recipe I've actually made is the ginger cookies, but they're good.
