We're right back to Friday the 13th, for those who celebrate. In (relatively) local news, STEVE SMITH is being reported in Ohio. I'll guess it's a rogue hippy or melonhead. Won't someone please think of the teachers and administrators? This week I learned there was a...
At the time this posts, I should be several cocktails in at a Tiki weekender, so please forgive any duplicate links. Well, BrewDog is being parted out. Full disclosure, I own two shares. From the "hit series"! What could possibly go wrong? Kentucky man one ups God. I...
March, the time of St. Patrick’s Day. This leaves me no choice for my first cocktail of the month for March but the Irish Coffee. One of my favorite drinks, and one I rarely order when out. Why do I rarely order it when I’m out? Because far too frequently, what should...
The perfect month comes to a close. With that, we get ready to move into March. Going after loot boxes seems a much better complaint than bitching about their cut. The important thing from the Epstein Files: what were they drinking? Pretty sure there's more than one...
Well, we're almost done with February. This weekend, the girlfriend and I are going to a brunch event, which last year was unlimited food, Bloody Mary samples (too bad neither of us like Bloody Maries), and two drink tickets for the bar (which did have a decent...
Hope you've already got any Valentine's Day stuff planned, because it's tomorrow. Why would you try to bring this back? Make sure to drink it all up by Ash Wednesday. [This link intentionally left blank] Well, at least we've got that straightened out. The things they...
We've made it to February, not just February, but the perfect February! I blame AI LLMs. This does not surprise me. If you use Notepad++, I'd get a new version and make sure to check your hashes. I think Tabasco has a solid case here. Slate choosing the wrong side of...
For those who haven't clicked on my handle recently, I've started a Substack. It'll just be focusing on cocktails, avoiding politics. As I've used some of my old posts there as a starting place, it seemed only fair to bring some of my posts from there back over to...
Yeah, it's still cold here. We're supposed to reach 20 on Monday. So what can we do to cool the planet? Yeah... I'll probably watch it. Oh, you're a parent group? Fuck off. I doubt anyone is surprised by this. Weaponized! The decisive rhetoric is coming from inside...
The squirrels are trying to warm their nuts, but the lights are LED and won't generate the heat they want. I too frequently forget about my free Epic library. What could possibly go wrong? For me, the first game was short and did not have the promised depth of FO:NV....
The POLAR VORTEX cold weather has moved back in, and we've been blanketed in snow. I have one perfect NFL playoff bracket so far, which has the Broncos, Patriots, Seahawks, and Bears winning this weekend. I'm pretty confident in the Broncos and Seahawks pick at this...
I'm tired, seriously tired of the predictable scripts being run by everyone. When I can predict with 99% accuracy what the news stories will say, what's the point of writing them or reading them? In more positive news, I've decided to add a mini-Glibfit here on...
New year, same shit, right? Welcome to the Public Domain! I'd like to see more things enter the Public Domain. As an example all of those shows that were pulled from streaming and the rights "destroyed". Public Domain. All of them. It's been a dumpster fire as long as...
Unlike most years, we've now got two weeks of garbage time at work with these Fridays that are just interrupting a 4 day weekend. It was good to see my family again, the nephews are getting older, and the talk of college has begun. I just support him making his...
R.J. is enjoying time with his family, as I hope everyone here is. I share here now a movie based on a book series that is very dear to me, this is the penultimate story of the Death cycle (my second favorite, Vimes and the Watch reign supreme). So tonight, I present...
Well, here it is. Time to start wrapping gifts, and making sure everyone is covered. With that, let's get into the links. This has no relation to the Browns stadium that the city was fighting to keep. "It's not a strategy, it's a lifestyle." IT: Welcome to Derry went...
Here we are, less than two weeks until Christmas. At least here, it's been colder and snowier than it has been for the past several years. This of course means it's a crisis. In local news, there's a state Supreme Court case that could have some big implications for...
Subbing.
The Christmas season is coming hard, as temperatures drop as fast as approval ratings. But we care not for such things, let's get to some links. I hope they never learn about Deus Ex. I can't be the only one who keeps a rough estimate of the total as I put things in...
The leftovers should be packed away, desserts still sitting around, Advent calendars handed out, and Christmas music is in season. Digital geeks have been around for a long time. Well, I know I wait for the GOTY for Bethesda games to wait for the patches. I would say...
Well, I hope travel and meal plans have been made, as next week is the feasting holiday of Thanksgiving (sorry non-US people, you really are second class). But no one cares about that, or your fantasy football team. *sigh* Adding insult to the performance this past...
Well, this Sunday is the CLE meeting of the Browns and the Ravens. I was tempted to steal Tonio's dumpster fire images for the links today, but didn't want to confuse and frighten people. Once again, I'll be taking OMWC down into the Dawg Pound to watch the game....
We've made it to November, we're on the downward slide of the year. Change freezes start up, holiday schedules start slowing projects down, and people just plain don't give a shit anymore. But you care not for such musings, you want links and drinks. A bit early, but...
It's Halloween, candy has been purchased, costumes have picked out, and movies have been watched. DON'T DATE ROBOTS! In local news. Gabe has been the one rock among tech companies. Steam has been pretty amazing about avoiding enshittification. On the other hand......
Go local sportsball team!
