Officially became a @theverge.com subscriber today. Ya got me for a year @jaypeters.net & @reckless.bsky.social - and as I’m too lazy to figure out how to get the ad free version of the Vergecast I’ll just keep skipping some of them 😉

A friendly reminder to LIKE other's posts to let folks know they are seen!!

FYI Virginia..... #Politics #Political

I've been downloading my old periscopes before E*on shuts down the servers - here's a snippet of an early one from BB19 in July of 2017 after I'd tweeted a teaser for a fake endurance comp designed to favor Christmas after he injury (also a screencap of said tweet in 1st comment). #BB19

I’m only 13 episodes in and I’m already exhausted. I can’t believe I have 26 more episodes to watch of this train wreck. And yes, I will be watching them. #mafsau #mafs (no spoilers please)

Random thought, I could go the rest of my life never eating another shrimp. There’s not one thing I find enjoyable about crustaceans as food.

American Gladiators was never my cup of tea but if it is for you and / or you are a fan of Big Brother's Jessie Godderz you can catch him on the show. Episodes 1-3 dropped on the 17th on Amazon Prime.

I'm watching one of my guilty pleasure shows, MAFS AU Season 13 (Married at First Sight Australia - NO SPOILERS!) - and 4 episodes in it seems like this season should be called Train Wrecks at First Sight! 💥🚂💥 #MAFS - I've heard it was a bit of a train wreck season (just wrapped) so not surprised.

Recorded an episode last night, after I talked about Big Brother things I spent a good deal of time discussing Secret Millionaire" www.spreaker.com/episode/secr...

The next 'project' I'm working on, salvaging as many of my 400+ periscopes for posterity. Yes a lot are still saved online, interestingly enough it looks like its the OLDEST (5 years or older) that are still saved. I'm using Gemini to help me grab this stuff and hopefully I can put it up somewhere

I spoke to my old friend Paul Abrahamian about the #HouseOfVillains finale! He breaks down what went wrong, why he and Tyson could never get on the same page & reflects on his triumphant return to reality TV. Full interview: youtu.be/0gn4w86qkrs

"I'd rather lose with integrity than win and be a piece of sh*t......." well that's absolutely NOT the way the play House of Villains imho and frankly not the way to play most "Reality" GAME shows. #HouseOfVillians (not quite done watching it yet so no spoilers!)

What I'm watching Finished / finishing DTF St. Louis American Classic Sunny Nights House of Villains Watching when I have time RJ Decker Rooster Just started Million Dollar Secret Margos Got Money Problems Need to finish How to get to heaven from Belfast Want to start Beef S2 The Audacity

Sharing since she was on #CBB 😜 🤣

Just ventured onto instagram and once again realized it’s way to much work to get a following there lol. I mean getting a following anywhere is a lot of work but the media part of insta is just too much for me. 🙃

FYI. Personally just saw an error message when I first logged in. Seems ok now tho.

Anyone watching Love Overboard on HULU? Whatcha think?

Having just discovered that former Big Brother comps producer (up until BB23) @heathluman.bsky.social is on Bluesky I am adding him to my BB Updates list, not because he posts about Big Brother, but because when he posts here, everyone that is a BB fan should see it, 🙃. My list my rules! #BBSky

YAY!! Season 2!! If you haven't watched Season 1 (Netflix) you most certainly should imho. Guess I know what I'm binging tonight! Complete schedule is: Episodes 1-3 - TODAY!?!?!?!?! (iykyk 😜) Episodes 4-6 - 4/22/26 Episodes 7-8 - 4/29/26 #MillionDollarSecret

I also spoke to @tysonapostol.bsky.social and Tom Sandoval this week about their time on #HouseOfVillains, and how they were left with little to no room to maneuver. They also give an update on where they stand with Paul today. Full interview: youtu.be/wsfai88r8PQ

Big Brother casting news……. April 21st MGM Grand Casino Springfield, MA That’s the only one posted currently. #bb28 #bbsky www.bigbrothercasting.tv/opencalls

Another good resource, if you are going to complain, take 5 minutes and complain where it will actually be heard (even if it may be ignored). But be nice to whomever answers the phone, its likely a college intern, one of my kids did it for a semester - its a thankless job. #Politics #Political

Please take 5 minutes & call your senators. I was able to speak to a real person for one (usually a college intern - poor kids) and left a voicemail with the other number I called - you can find yours here. www.senate.gov/senators/sen... #politics #political

Ewwwww.... can you say ratings dive? www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/c...

About to go behind the moon..... (for all those that think this is all make believe this will be the easiest part for Nasa to fake, 45 minute of no contact 😆) #Artemis #BBSky

I saw someone's comment about missing #BB on my timeline - but at least for the next 5 days or so you can see the 4 #Artemis crew member stuck in a space smaller than one of the Big Brother bedrooms with a (currently) broken toilet. How' that for drama?? 🚀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mjdf...

Cool stuff....... #Artemis

Random... I did another thing.... similar to my 'old time radio' - but this time its a simulated "FM" radio with stations entirely from the area I'm from (NW Indiana). Almost all the streams are direct streams so it acts like a real radio..... what do ya think? miketalksabout.com/LAF/

Post-Artemis 2 reaction podcast via #spreaker www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-9... #Artemis

One of two new podcasts on Wednesday. Me driving to see the Artemis 2 launch www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-8... (link to the OTR I discuss is this: miketalksabout.com/OTR/ ) #Artemis

I got to see a thing today, pretty cool!!

I'm kinda meh on S2 of Jury Duty. Its like they wanted to make a version of "The Office" or "Parks and Rec" and throw a 'real world' person into the mix. Just like in S1 I wanted the actors to tear down the 4th wall the entire season. & showing them doing things Anthony never sees? Just not my vibe.

Haven’t seen this reported anywhere but fwiw Traitors Ireland season two casting is closed. The casting page for USA civilian version still has a closing date of 3/27 listed. #TheTraitors

I have all the 'pieces' now I just need to learn / figure out how to make them all work.... I'm sure there is an easier way to do this if I knew what I was doing but its fun anyways (this is a screen recording of me manipulating / turning on/off different layers of the 'radio' in a GIMP xcf file).

NYC / NJ area #Traitors fans, just saw a post on Insta for a Traitors-like party in NJ on April 12th - see link for details, tix are $20 to get to 'play' - if I was nearby I'd give it a try for sure! Link to ticketing & additional info: tixfox.co/e/s659qiv6rk

Just saw Project Hail Mary. I’m glad I read the book 1st, but it definitely is a two thumbs up movie in worth checking out. Just like The Martian both the book and the movie are good on their own and if you enjoyed one, you should check out the other.

I've gone down a typical rabbit hole and I am trying to 'make' a really cool photorealistic old time radio to go with the app I (with AI help) built last week. Turns out AI can't help much with this so I'm deep in GIMP editing away to make all the knops and buttons etc etc, in case you were curious

Because others are asking what’s the chatter about Ashley tonight….

Out for a walk. #politics #political #nokings

It’s another No Kings day, interested in attending but unable to get out? There are a couple virtual ones - here’s a link to one of them: Want to join me for this No Kings event? mobilize.us/s/GCcQff #politics #political

Built this over the last few days - yes I used AI to help with the coding - otherwise it would have taken me eons and I would have given up. I can now listen to free online Old Time Radio streams on my computer phone with little effort. miketalksabout.com/oldtimeradio...

The best sport is College Basketball, so this is the best time of the year. Started out the day watching my team (Purdue) win and just got to see Iowa beat #1 seed Florida. Rooting for all the Big 10 teams. #MarchMadness

Want to be on Traitors US? The original deadline for Casting was 3/20 but looks like its been extended at least a week. Current posted deadline is 3/27 so you still have a few days if you forgot to apply! thetraitorsus.com #TheTraitors

Why would Trump think ANYONE bombing Irans power facilities would be seen as a viable option? Guess we can see why he’s apparently fine that Putins been doing the same thing in Ukraine all this time. #politics #political (please mute hashtags to avoid theses kind of posts)

I finally stopped procrastinating!

Just saw this and thought it might be fun to try to use it in the future..... #BBSky

No one will understand this, but time is running out on my procrastinating! 😆

I actually went and saw Hopper's Wednesday even though I expected to roll my eyes a lot, it was actually very good & had a couple moments that were a big surprise, in a good way. I too gasped (then LOL'd) at the moment implied in the headline (not spoiled in the article) slate.com/culture/2026...
