Great article about how forums aren’t dead with a comprehensive list:

Also, GWJ got a shout out!
Wow that’s quite a resource. Very cool to see GWJ included.

They visited the Name that Game thread during one of our Lighthouse periods didn't they.
Recycling. I get so much satisfaction from it.
Also, having a joke you can break out in specific situations. For example, if I’m with someone whilst buying enough food for a couple of days or an odd assortment of items some of which aren’t edible, I can say, “That’s lunch sorted.”
I was buying bread and shaving gel today but sadly there wasn’t anyone around for me to use it.
There's always the cashier!
There's always the cashier!
There's a moment I always think about, where I ran to the store to get cat litter and something I needed for the kitchen and grabbed some candy since I was there.
The cashier looked at my items- cat litter, a slotted spoon, and a bag of Hershey's Kisses- and just shook her head.
You can use Grape-Nuts, melted chocolate (poured into the Grape-Nuts), shredded coconut and molded Tootsie-Rolls for a truly disgusting, but delicious, Halloween snack. Put it in a (new) litter tray. Tons of comments will ensue.
can i get the game for free?
I'm a pretty big youtuber (200 subs) and was wondering If I could get this game for free, or u can pay me for a good review, I'll give it a bad one if not.
OMG that's amazing.
After a longish hiatus, have started to get back into watching Yellowstone. I forgot how much I enjoy this show.
Sons of Anarchy on horseback.
This kind of thing is the reason I follow lawyer Ken "Popehat" White. Also because his name is Ken.

I write about my own cases and clients only rarely. Publicity is often not in my clients’ best interests and this isn’t a platform to promote my professional work. My firm has nothing to do with my online activities.
But sometimes one of my cases is such an important illustration of the First Amendment issues that I write about that describing it seems imperative. This is such a case. It involves the most purely evil and abusive SLAPP suit I have ever seen. We just won it for the client on appeal. The question presented was this: if you are charged with killing two people in a car crash, can you sue the family members of the dead victims for defamation when they write letters about the alleged crime based explicitly upon the criminal complaint and news coverage?
Peter "Wait Wait Don't Tell Me" Sagal posted an old list of "Rules of Twitter" now that he's off Xitter:
Peter's Rules of Twitter
1) You will and have regretted many tweets. You will never regret not tweeting.
2) Is it intended to delight, inform or amuse? Then go ahead. If not, don't.
3) Never argue with anybody about anything. Really.
4) ... except pizza, whether hot dogs are sandwiches, and old movies/TV shows.
5) Don't say anything about a piece of current art/writing/culture you wouldn't
say to the face of the person who created it.
6) Never promote any info or news unless it comes from a source you would
trust to tell you which door the tiger is behind.
7) The only useful purpose of having a bigger platform than other people is to
use it to benefit those other people, so boost and recommend widely.
8) Resist the common urge to engage with the one critic rather than the many
fans.
9) Never, ever insult anyone personally. Mockery is fine, but aim it upwards.
10) To survive on the veldt, humans evolved to crave sugars and fats and to get
energized by anger and fear. We don't live on the veldt anymore. Refrain from
feeding obsolete hungers.
Those are all great rules. Nice list.
Just got back from an early viewing of Wicked, and they did a great job of adapting it to the silver screen. I only loathe that we have to wait a whole year for part II.
The A More Civilised Age podcast are doing a read through of the first Timothy Zahn trilogy of StarWars novels. It’s the StarWars of my tweens. It’s pure nostalgia for me but I love how they keep picking out how these books informed so much of all the rest of StarWars (except Lucas’s pequels) and how many little touches Zahn added to make StarWars make sense as a real world.
I went to the doctor yesterday and according to their scale I've lost 44 pounds in the past 3 months. That result far exceeded my expectations.
And to do it, I only needed to cut out my favorite foods (cheeseburgers, french fries, chips, cookies, brownies, etc.) from my diet. I replaced it with chicken, fish, and expanded my vegetable pallet immensely. In fact I actually got excided the last time I was at the store and saw that frozen riced cauliflower with broccoli was on sale.
Chips/snacks were the hardest to get rid of. I didn't realize how much I relied on grabbing "just a little" snack several times throughout the day. Fresh fruit, dried fruit, crunchy chickpeas and sliced cucumber have come in clutch as replacements.
I've been allowing myself a monthly cheeseburger, but now I have the challenge of making sure it's a burger worth getting and not just from some random fast food place. Luckily, I have a few very good options around me.
Good for you. When you start looking at the calories for certain foods you realize how calorie dense some are. Like cookies and brownies are crazy.
I'm watching my diet in a similar way and trying to snack less. Definitely is tough.

Consider making your own, too.
Particularly if you have a grill, a homemade burger is always going to be choicer than a fast food burger. Even buying fresh patties from the store and grilling them comes out great.
Yeah, my big weight loss secret is really no secret: I just stopped eating processed foods. That simple. Prepare my own food, lose weight.
The biggest healthy eating hack I discovered is I only have a soda when I want to have a soda. I never have a soda when all I want is something to drink. I was able to get my soda intake down to about once every couple of weeks that way. On a related note, if you only drink one soda every couple of weeks, it tastes so much better than it does if you drink it all the time.

But I want a beer all the time.
So do I, and yet dropping alcohol cold-turkey was surprisingly easy and I’ve yet to pull it off with (diet) soda. Tried multiple times. Longest I’ve gone was about 3 months.
Silo is so good this season.
Fellowship of the Rings today. First watch with the kids.
I appreciate its underlying theme of friendship a lot more these days

I made it a good 10-11 months back in 2018. And then my daughter was born. And I've been off the soda wagon ever since. 2-3 a day. Need caffeine. 2 kids making me exhausted.

I keep telling myself that I need to use less caffeine because it just causes a crash later. But I just keep coming back because, as you note, kids.

That's super cool.
Silo is so good this season.
I watched season one and barely made it through but I’m so glad I saw the whole thing. I must resub to Apple and watch season 2 once my Disney+ deal expires.

I’m current sat on a ‘free month’ of Apple TV. Just waiting for the whole series to drop before I activate it…
