There’s an awesome bundle of 200 indie games for $10 to help earthquake relief efforts in Türkiye and Syria. Help make the world a little less scream-y!

Yes!

Also, I forget which thread it was where you recommended RESTART ME UP to me, but I read it and very much enjoyed it. Big fan of the chapter about finding (and eliminating) bugs. A lot of fun! https://www.amazon.com/Restart-Me-Up-Unauthorized-Accurate-dp-B0851L1NTF/dp/B0851L1NTF/ref=dp_ob_title_bk

So glad you read it. I love that book! The author, Lesley Tsina, is a hilarious comedian and would make a great Bystander. 🤔

This raises deep, deep questions about what Scottish people consider food, and why. If the boundary between ketchup and soup--or porridge and soup--seems thin to a person, they are eating bad, bad soups.

LOL.

Also I'm a recovering philosophy major who took a class where we carefully considered whether or not holes exist. So...yeah this sauce thing isn't actually a joke.

Thanks for the shoutout! I've been listening to a lot of 99% Invisible (http://99pi.org) and they keep running this tiny piece of poorly written ad copy about Williamsburg, VA. I can't get it out of my head, so I wrote about it and the city itself.

You asked for it, you got it! I'm trying really hard not to keep up with the Kardashians, but it ain't easy.
