Gigantic oil paintings of people from Ferguson in poses from old European paintings. These look fantastic.

I just found my ring in my pajama pants pocket. Truly, today I am Lord of the Rings.

I've had this (super mild) Jagged Metal Krusty-O sensation in my abdomen since yesterday. My theory was that I didn't chew a Frito from my chili, but Katt says there's no way it would have survived that long in stomach acid, so I'm revising it to a manifestation of discontent.

I'm listening to two podcasts at the same time. I'm trying this podcast about productivity, and I'm always suspicious of those, but I'm trying to give it a chance. But I'm having a hard time with how seriously it takes itself, so I also put on Idle Thumbs.

So, now I have this interesting cacaphony, and no information is being conveyed.

I finally beat Dream Quest as a wizard! Well, I had done it a long time ago on my old iPad, but I have had a really hard time since starting the game again. I feel like I've been trying for months.

A lot of what makes it hard for me is that the wizard tends to not get much in the way of good equipment that either absorbs or inflicts damage automatically each turn. That really adds up over the course of the game. Focusing consistently on the basics of ensuring that average mana in the deck would be able to consistently pay for the spells got me back on track here.

Coloring in a drawing in a Photoshop layer set to "Multiply" (or in my case, GIMP) is just really peaceful and satisfying. Yet another thing I should do more often, like playing guitar.

3-5-5-5-2-3. 13ºF is actually a good temperature for pull-ups, provided you have layers and a scarf! The low reps are just due to tiredness, not temperature.

I'm reading the Three-Body Problem (well, at least for until I have to return it today). Here's an excerpt:

"For highly educated and skilled individuals like you to be sent to a place like this…"

Ye said nothing and kept on writing. She did not want to tell Bai that for someone like her to be able to join the Construction Corps was very fortunate. She did not want to comment on the way things were—there was nothing worthwhile to say.

That is exactly how I feel about our current national situation, though it's nowhere close to the situation the character is in—the Cultural Revolution, an absolute nightmare.

I got another right-wing video recommendation from YouTube while watching a music thing that was completely unrelated. Really takes you out of an enjoying mood. There really is no substitute for YouTube, but I really want to stop looking at as much as I can at this point.

Google's lack of care for this billion-dollar product is inexcusable.

The ice is melting.

8-4-4-4-2-3.

I've had this lower back pain today, and because I'm an old person, I can't tell what the cause is. It could be:

1) Pull-ups. But they don't really seem to involve the lower back much.
2) Running. Seemed fine while I was doing it.
3) Doing shuttle runs across the dining room with the guy. Here, I made sure to be careful when bending down to touch the stations.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some of my image bots produce images in SVG, but then render them as PNG. I thought I could save everyone some bandwidth by keeping them as SVGs, but embedding them in img tags as data URIs. This does work in a browser, but unfortunately, RSS readers don't render that them. So, that ends that.

I got excited for a moment. I wrote a README for a new Node module and everything! Glad I checked early, though.

How does SVG as a base-64-encoded img data uri render in RSS?
