The World Cup potato chip bags look like a xenomorph with an underbite. It creeps me out.

I took my wife and kid to an outdoor swap meet for a few hours around lunchtime today, and now I’m reminded that the sun hates me and wishes to smite me at every chance.

I’ve released a new version of Scrapwire, my Veilid-based TUI chat app. v0.2.1 fixes some Markdown formatting glitches.

“You wouldn’t download a laptop, would you?”

2. Spot the person in this story who’s clearly getting kickbacks.

I bought Hoka Clifton shoes a while back because they have a reputation at being good for walking. I disagree. They’re fantastic for standing. They’re delightful for strolling. They’re sucky for covering distance, though.
