Selfie Monday

I love a good title drop.

I don’t care if there’s a trailer, I still don’t believe this is actually going to exist. Somebody remind David Fincher who he is.

we here at #bluesky take copyright law very seriously

Sending a full report to @bsky.support every time I see a post on here about “the big game” but using its official copyrighted title, which is a registered trademark of the National Football League and can only be used with prior written permission.

I made a joke in line at Chipotle about how “apparently there’s a sportsball thing happening tonight” and everyone was so delighted by my cynical charm that they let me go behind the counter and eat the toppings directly out of the containers.

just saw an ad for the super bowl. not a tie-in promotion, an ad for the game itself. why.

But you WILL remember it halfway through the next cycle of turns.

Wade from Dank Pods seems to be one of those guys who is so funny and entertaining that it takes you a long time to realize almost all he does is endlessly complain about everything all the time.

I OWN GIANT KERPLUNK. YOUR JEALOUSY ONLY MAKES ME STRONGER.

The guys in Suicidal Tendencies are so old now they changed the line to "All I wanted was a Pepcid."

Wow. I don't know about you, but I just lost a ton of respect for HR Giger. The elaborate, psychosexual, Lovecraftian nightmare he turned in looks NOTHING like the cartoonish outline he was given. Jeez. The guy had one job....

I love a good title drop.

Things I Can Remember - Friends’ birthdays - Parents’ anniversary - Checking account number - The address of every house I’ve ever lived in - Landline phone numbers of girlfriends from high school Things I Can’t Remember - The move I decided two minutes ago would be my best strategy for this turn

Billy was a business bro, Now Billy is no more 'Cause what he thought was H2O Was H2SO4

finally figured out how to add a video

anytime i play cosmic frogs i have to post the pretty frogs i commissioned my friend to paint for me

In 2011 or so, my agency met with three entrepreneur bros who just graduated from the local university, pitching an “enhanced performance water” they called H2O 2. They were nonplussed to learn that there was already a product called H2O2 on shelves: hydrogen peroxide.

published in 1990 btw

SPOTTED! 😍 Keira Knightley looking absolutely stunning in NYC, bundled up against the cold with celebrity boyfriend Guy From The Neighborhood Watch Signs!

i need to start putting this shit in my dating profiles

In an effort to ever-so-gently annoy a colleague I've been calling all machines and tech at work The Apparatus. Should The Apparatus be doing that? Are you finished with The Apparatus? I have woken this morning to an email written and sent after midnight requesting me to stop.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

You do realize that come Monday you will have to pick that rock back up.

Yes. Male homosexuality.

Weekend plans

I once worked at an agency where one of the graphic designers had this as her text message sound, and it was fun to watch visitors and new folks go on a “hey I know that sound! ... oh god wait don’t say anything, don’t say anything” face journey.

Wait, the Olympic Games start tonight? Oh god, has anyone checked to make sure we're not at Defcon 2!?

An insane sentence: the little boy from Love Actually is married to Elon Musk's ex-wife.

Weekend plans

So much for boardgame night

I think that family has three kids, can you imagine what getting a pizza order together is like?!

February 17, 2026 will be Chinese New Year, Mardi Gras, and the first night of Ramadan. They all fall on the same day this year.

I hope this doesn't come off as snide and of course I'm happy that everyone is safe, but this has made me chuckle all week because, like, what sort of terrible decisions are you regularly having to make that this is just ONE OF the hardest??

Just remembered that back in the day I had a Twitterbot that would trawl the #amwriting tag and if someone mentioned how many words they wrote the bot would respond with "That's cool, I wrote [a random number between 100-500 more words than their number]"

Every time I see a picture of Peter Thiel, I'm totally unprepared for how wet he looks (derogatory). I know that he's a gross wet guy who looks like he was just gargled by a hippo, but I'm still somehow surprised by how uncomfortably damp that man always looks.

Yes. Male homosexuality.

Just saw a picture of Peter Thiel for I guess the first time and realized that I never actually knew what he looked like and all this time (no joke) my mental image of him was Peter Scolari on Newhart.

I have friends who will very politely but firmly explain to you that Tichu is NOT a trick-taking game

I hope they find their Werner Herzog

I hope the Discworld books one day find their Peter Jackson.

1761, 1947, 2038 are 18xx games, 1848 is not

"We killin' them for freedom 'cause they tortured us for boredom"

Something I appreciate about TTR is that it is often the first game with a map that a newer player has seen since RISK.

“What do you mean, Ticket To Ride isn’t a train game?”

This is how the Airpods Max feel after about an hour.

I don’t know much about relationships, but I know that every now and then a dude should pretend he can’t get the lid off a new jar and give it to his partner to open.
