It really boggles my mind when people refuse to wear a mask*. These same people don’t refused to wear pants because it violates their freedom of express or first amendment rights.

These are the same idiots that gave us Trump. And yes, they are idiots.

I do like that masks have become a fashion statement for some. When I’m out and about, I’m always on the lookout for great and creative masks.

*Legitimate medical reason aside, but I have yet to hear of one put forth by an actual doctor.

They used to be a great counter culture site and now they are just a shopping channel. I’m sure it makes them a lot of money, but they have lost all respect and authority in my eyes. They have joined the ranks of sell-outs. I’m sure they all drive BMWs.

Does anyone know a good tool that can convert a dynamic website into a static website?

The Thimbleweed Park blog was built using PHP and a MongoDB database and it’s quite complex. The website won’t ever change and I like to turn it into a static site so I can host the files somewhere else and can shut down the server.

Ideally it would be a tool that you just point at the url and it scrapes the site, producing a bunch of .html files.

Does such a thing exist?

Given everything going on the America right now, I don’t feel like a celebratory post about a game. So I’ll do a factual one: Delores is now on GOG.

If I hear one more person say “this is not who we are” I’ll scream. This may not be who we want to be, but it is exactly who we are.

The Thimbleweed Park Forums seem to be down (or at least inconsistently down). I moved the DNS to a new server and it seems to have broken them. Top people are working on it.
