The new Dungeons & Dragons movie is better than the last five Marvel movies. Fun, great storyline, strong cast, and a great tribute to the source material. Recommended!

@vmbrasseur It’s available from pretty much everyone for purchase at the moment (Apple, Prime Video) and streaming on Paramount+.
@jonathan Saw it twice in the theater - I’m looking forward to picking it up in spinning disc form soon.

I need to take a break from TotK, it’s absolutely *vast* and has a way of grabbing my attention and sapping it for hours. Absolutely adore the game, but it’s time to establish a time quota 😁

Yeah, that short rib turned out to be absolutely wonderful. Loosely based on this recipe: https://
Leftovers will be shredded and added to home made pappardelle pasta, along with a little of the sauce and a touch of cream and parmesan.

I do want to get another car later this year, but have been waiting for an EV that suits me. If I had to buy today, I would probably get an Audi e-Tron GT. I so wish Alfa Romeo had an electric Giulia!

@jonathan I also want a BEV car, as opposed to a crossover/SUV/truck, but it looks like all the manufacturers are not bringing them to the US because they cannot compete with the Chinese brands like BYD so they just...ceded that portion of the market despite them not being sold here (yet, if ever).

In 2023 so far, I’ve sent 1.55 MWh back to the grid from my home in Palm Desert. We have a Rivian R1S on order to replace my wife’s car in early 2024. I just handed in my beloved Alfa and am going without a car for a while.

TotK observations of the day:
(1) Ultrahand? Hell yes! Build ALL THE THINGS.
(2) I want to attach Addison the incompetent sign man to a Korok and a jet pack and launch him into an active blood moon.
Finding a half-eaten Eggo waffle and syrup in your bathtub is the definition of #parenting.

Again feeling the desire to build a new open source social website platform that natively supports feeds, ActivityPub, ATProto, with an integrated reader and mobile client.
Oh yeah, I don’t have any time for that and there isn’t a market for it 🤓
haha you and me both. I was just thinking about this the other day
@cleverdevil kind of what I use Micro.blog for
, May 20 2023 on micro.blog
@jsonbecker it’s the closest thing out there. @manton has done a fantastic job.
I like having a dynamic site, powered by a queryable data store, and I would love for there to be a self-hosted, open source option that acts as a feed aggregator, Fediverse server, and ATProto server.
, May 20 2023 on micro.blog
@cleverdevil I’m the reverse largely. Went static site a decade ago and cannot imagine going back for a personal website. Hugo’s data-driven pages are close enough if you really need to go there. But the need for any infrastructure past nginx or Caddy feels nuts to me.
, May 20 2023 on micro.blog
@jsonbecker yeah, I do lots of crazy stuff with my site, admittedly. For the majority of people static is great.
If I did build something today, I’d likely store content as individual JSON files in a directory in either JF2 or mf2json and then make a query interface using Apache Drill or the like.
, May 20 2023 on micro.blog
@jsonbecker alternatively, I have considered using something like Datasette with the “Baked Data” pattern - simonwillison.net/2021/Jul/...
, May 20 2023 on micro.blog
@cleverdevil Hugo fully supports this with json formatted data.
, May 20 2023 on micro.blog
@jsonbecker neat! I wasn’t aware. You can do dynamic queries?
, May 20 2023 on micro.blog
@cleverdevil this whole page is powered by a json blob for books data json.blog/books/
, May 20 2023 on micro.blog
@jsonbecker may need to give Hugo another look!

Doing a three hour braise on five pounds of short rib tonight in preparation for dinner tomorrow. Letting the ribs rest overnight is going to make them so so good!

As will they, I suppose.
@cleverdevil Safe bet: it’s always going to be possible to detect some degree of irony in the use of that term.

So far I’ve been very pleased with the adaptation of Silo on Apple TV+. There are certainly deviations from the source material, but they’re adding background and character depth.

@jonathan Oh I didn’t realize it was based on something (book?). I’ve been wanting to give it a go, but the premise isn’t really Courtney’s thing, so I won’t get to it until I have some time on my own (which is all going to Zelda right now 😅)
@keithjgrant Yes! A book series by Hugh Howey. He’s a great story, finding his way to success by self-publishing on Kindle.

A cultural difference I am noticing between Bluesky and Mastodon is that Bluesky is a place that people come to be outraged by current events, to make fun of “the other side,” etc. This definitely makes it a better *replacement* for Twitter, but it doesn’t really make it better *than* Twitter.

@cleverdevil I actually find Twitter less toxic at this point. I never had issue there. But I don't follow politics. Unfortunately, everyone on bluesky seems to only talk politics.

@jonathan it’s interesting how much mastodon people feel the need to compare it to bluesky… do bluesky people do that back?
Also on: jonathan@cleverdevil.club cleverdevil.io
Woot, I have image posts syndicating from my website to Bluesky! Still lots to learn, but happy with the progress. I need to add one or two more minor things, and then the big remaining piece will be sending interactions back to my site.

I returned from Vegas on Monday night, and I am still feeling it. The dry air and pervasive second hand smoke always do a number on me.

For what its worth, I am pretty sure I also got things working with my Micropub endpoint, which makes life a heck of a lot easier for future projects with the AT protocol. Looking forward to being a better citizen of the new social web.
I am still navigating the complexities of embedding content vs. linking to it, etc., but I’m sure I’ll figure it out.
Also on: jonathan@cleverdevil.club cleverdevil.io
I know its annoying to see my test posts, but it looks like I have rudimentary cross-posting from my website to Bluesky working. Only for simple posts at the moment, but I already have embedding working for long-form posts, and hopefully I can add photos as I learn the protocol. Progress!
@cleverdevil ummm - I think you are behind me on the ‘ignore this test post’ count.
