I miss working on Today I Learned. However, I’ve finally made progress on re-shaping my schedule for my primary jobs (carer and home-maker) and now have a different POV:

Working on Today I Learned will be a reward, a project I can work on once my day jobs are in better shape.

Me: I’m likely to stop playing video games pretty soon tbh.

Annapurna: We’re publishing a game in which you play as a cat.

Me: … damn it.

You don’t have a real blog until you spend at least one day per month talking about how blogs are great.

Rick and Morty is amazing. 📺

Apple Podcasts just needs controls for managing multiple episodes and it would be surprisingly good.

The truth is that the world is full of dragons, and none of us are as powerful or cool as we’d like to be … But when you’re confronted with that fact, you can either crawl into a hole and quit, or you can get out there, take off your shoes, and Bilbo it up.

I’m just about ready for another re-watch of Parks and Recreation. 📺
