since the "google is now training gemini on your email contents" thing keeps bumping around here: it's _not happening_. I say this not to defend google but because I know a lot of people that have broken their filtering and made their lives much more annoying from sheer misinformation.

Before the iPhone Pocket, we had socks for our iPods. The set was $29.

PSA to all of those still on X. You can now see where some major British/US "shitfluencers" are really based.

Hmmm…what USAID wasn’t bad for America…what if getting rid of it only hurt us and everyone else? What if the richest man in the world being responsible for ending aid to the poorest people in the world will go down as one of the most bizarre and disgusting acts of the 21st century?

We're almost at the 8 year anniversary of when Hawaii sent the false missile threat to EVERYONE on the island. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_Ha...

Here's a candid shot of @whosthebossk.bsky.social getting covered in snope tonight. Fun times tonight.

I just want the final Muppet of the Week for the 70th to be Miss Poogy, so the fan base goes AWOL.

Happy anniversary to those who celebrate

Imagine being one of those CEOs or school presidents who bowed down to this weird old man, then realizing he doesn’t like you as much as he likes this guy who didn’t bow at all

Well, I guess I needed a reason to go through my movies and sort them. Any physical movie that had an ITUNES unlock disc can now reuse the code in 4K on Movies Anywhere.

It's such a flurry of emotions to parse all this, but what comes out on top is that he's so easily manipulated, it's wild to see because you know the worst actors take advantage of it. Like Putin. It's such a bad weakness to have, even as just a regular businessman.

oh, that's... that's not... you can't call it that

No shit

Corruption at every level of government. Inconvenient truths are eradicated.

The Department of Education, which is being led by the former CEO of WWE, declared that public health and advanced nursing are no longer professional degrees under upcoming federal loan eligibility rules. Crippling female dominated fields on purpose. Blessed be the fruit, I guess.

Hooked up my new mouse. Decided to stay wired so I don't have to think about battery life or "waking" the mouse when idle. Man, I forgot how good a new mouse feels.

whatever the Xai people did to make grok speak more positively about its owner seems to be backfiring

Anyone who is OK with this is a very bad person.

I need to do the math but Disneyland cut way back on their late nite events last year.

Ellison tells Trump he can pick which CNN anchors will be axed after Ellison acquires CNN. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I wonder what it does mentally to viewers when "react videos" are very clearly overacting to a hyperbolic degree. Like, no one should be that excited for a Pop-tart.

Did anyone else really like Minecraft Dungeons, I thought it was a fun relaxing title.

I feel like we're about 3 months away from Trump suing someone for a trillion dollars because he thinks he can.

I loved this app sooo much

here is a compilation of every mention of George Soros in the new Texas judge dissent regarding the redistricting case up first is the opening line of his dissent:

Ughhh

Since the star collection and post-star collection cutscenes in Super Mario Galaxy 2 have an average length of 30 seconds and a full playthrough collects 240 stars, the player spends at least 2 hours per playthrough simply watching Mario collect stars.

I had a bit of time today, so I felt like writing.

I want a world where all the search buttons and bars are in one predictable spot and they don't keep moving. I'm looking at you, Google and Target.

Get ready for people to become experts on the best time to buy tickets and acting like it's a good thing

Marjorie Taylor Greene has been disliked by the left for years and years and had never had to fear for her life. She's been disliked by the right for 1 day and now has to hire security.

This is... Not the worst thing to happen

THERE'S the reason!

Would it kill Knott's to update their album art? Feels a bit.. awkward

Man, every once in a while I search my Gmail inbox and a ton of old BFads.net newsletters show up and I just get all sad. Here's one from 2016.

In other news, I think my old Logitech G403 Hero mouse is finally dying. Middle click isn't reliable and now I can feel the ribbing on it has worn away. It's almost 6 years old, so it served me well. I tried to avoid wireless for a while, because of gaming lag, but looks like it's better now?

It's a new low. I tried to give him the benefit of the doubt, but I was proven wrong. It hurts the more I think about it. I think it's because it's approaching dictator in a more obvious light than it has before. The "untouchable" rude aspect of his personality. The confidence to silence critics.

All the Just Dance games older than last year were delisted last month. So now the eShop only lists 2025 and newer, even though the current digital-only platform goes back to 2023. 2022 were standalone, but 2023+ are digital only. Physical is code in a box. You can still buy them, but only in-game

can we just take a minute to admire the Chuck Schumer number here, nobody has managed to tank their approval with their own party this hard since, I dunno, George W Bush

We're 15+ years into this mess. The hardest thing is that we have to admit this man will never be punished for anything in his life ever again. Oh sure, there might be an election, but we can see the Democrats now have no spine and will likely just pardon him to heal the divide.

Did you know the iconic pointy princess hat has origins in the Middle Ages?

Last Thanksgiving, two Dallas Police officers knocked on my door, citing a tip from the FBI national threat operations center that I was beating my girlfriend. The incident report confirms this. Today, I obtained a file from the FBI via FOIA that states the FBI has no record of receiving such a tip.

@horrormoviebbq.bsky.social Spookley loves you

Honestly, it's an abject failure of Disneyland that the first thing many kids want to do, meet Mickey Mouse, is virtually inaccessible at the park entrance. He's there, but every meet and greet line always fills instantly. They all have CMs telling you to come back later. What a first impression!

Why has this sat unreported until now??? (also kudos People!)

Gross, Progressive Insurance is using AI in their commercials now

You can/should put our upcoming mini-series PREDATOR: BLOODSHED on your comic book pull list RIGHT NOW! Have you done it? HAVE YOU!?!

These were playground staples. And yeah, the debate over how healthy they made an M&Ms chocolate bar was wild. But my school didn't allow candy, so these were a loophole.
