I recently learned that public libraries carry current gen video games now too. And then looked at my local library’s catalogue to see if they did. They have, like, HUNDREDS. New releases. AAA classics. Several of the newer Yakuza games. Libraries keep winning.

The run that Rob Reiner went on between 1984 and 1992 is one of the most amazing hot streaks any director has ever had. Legendary stuff

Love cats, love that they can curl up in a little ball in your lap but also get pissed off at you for not letting them take up half the space in your goddamn bed

Me: (working on novel) Brain: Hey, got a great idea for a novel. Not this novel. Me: (typing) Not now, brain. Brain: Don't you wanna know what it is? Me: NOT NOW, BRAIN Brain: I'm not gonna lie, it's SUPER cool Me: LET ME FINISH THE NOVEL IN FRONT OF ME, BRAIN Brain: Okay, I'm gonna tell you

Just started rewatching Tropic Thunder for the first time since like, it came out, and I forgot about the fake trailers at the start and how deadass they are (Also absolutely a great way to set up the characters, no notes)

I got a settlement offer that was basically just “we give up”, I may still be asleep and dreaming

Film you’ve seen more than six times. Hard mode: no Star Wars or Trek, LOTR, or Marvel.

“If it goes away when you take your meds it’s probably not a character flaw” is something I have to tell myself often.

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire, I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To know that for destruction ice Is also great, And would suffice. (Robert Frost)

Doctor said I qualify as a “young woman” still. Sir I’m 39. Life expectancy is still 80ish or whatever so I’m the definition of middle aged. At what point do I become an old woman? Or just a woman? Stop this fucking silliness, perimenopause is already becoming visible on the horizon

Realized Christmas is in 3 weeks and that means I can no longer put off figuring out what the hell to give my dad. I’m pretty good at gifts and can never figure out what to get for him. Ever.

I don’t get a lot of cringe questions (people usually just ask what kind of lawyer I am, which, other lawyers will also do that) but a lot of the time people will just visibly re-evaluate my whole self with a mildly uneasy look So that’s usually pretty funny

I hate that question and always have

(This is the end of a thread about an alarming trend of university students unwilling to do any studenting in addition to using too much genAI) In the past 5 years and especially the past 3, I’ve seen fellow lawyers swamped since 2020 getting worse and worse at DOING stuff so 1 and 3 are compelling

Jay Chester, 40, can’t believe it’s been so long since you last met up and genuinely intends to remedy the issue – and will spend the next decade genuinely intending to remedy the issue.

Hey developers: lawyers kind of badly need an app (web or desktop) that will let you download from any phone and print format a complete, unredacted text message conversation, preserving inline sent images and including timestamps and the sender PHONE NUMBER (this is important) for each message.

Loaded AC Valhalla for the first time in quite a while. I’m still in Norway and went “oh what’s to the north?” And that’s how l left the tutorial zone of Rygjafylke (suggested power: 1) and wandered into Hordafylke (suggested power: 280) Guess I can see where the endgame is located

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

I appreciate how much of the red undertones in my hair are actual red instead of coppery or orange …or, I would, except that I’m only seeing so much of those undertones because my hair likes to stop over briefly at bright fucking Cheryl Blossom red before it turns white

Thanksgiving 1993, my mom and my then-SIL got absolutely TRASHED on white wine before dinner because for some reason the turkey (not thawed enough? idk) took like 3 hours longer than expected to cook. Then my RN grandma called and laughed at my drunk mom. That ended up being their last phone call 🥲

Nobody ever brings this up, but isn’t the obsession with trying to make self-driving cars a reality just a deeply obscured yearning for the reliable self-driving vehicles we enjoyed for centuries: horses

I didn’t like what I was doing and decided I needed to go back to school. Grad school had already been a nonstarter, I didn’t want to be a doctor, and I think MBAs are a hustle, so that left law school. I then decided in 2L that I did in fact want to be a lawyer and now I’m in my 5th year of call

I just love that my Gmail has reached an absolute state where I cannot log into the account on any device or application besides my phone and the mail client in my pc browser. I just get critical security alerts and told to fuck off. Needed to email myself stuff at the library and had to use hotmail

Just got home from the courthouse library with about 5lb of books (the best part is it’s only 3 books) and need to make and eat dinner in the next 2 hours before raid while I am in a state of “I do not wish to cook, or eat, or be perceived”

Concept; Majima telling the story of how he and Saejima met but halfway through it becomes apparent he’s just recounting the plot of Midnight Cowboy

Danielle Smith invokes notwithstanding clause to ban Canada’s Drag Race

Feeling blessed by @rahaeli.bsky.social having turned her hyperfocus to covid stuff, because I double dosed my Claritin before getting my vaccine today and am NOT currently half asleep like I usually am after a covid shot 🎉 I even went for a BEER and am still able to do other stuff this evening

I write the things I would want to read but I write for others; I can't write only for myself because I already know what I'm thinking and typing it out is just inefficient. Also I'm an ego monster and want an audience.

“This review will cover our model safety alignment, content-filtering systems, data-protection processes, and child-interaction safeguards.” None of which exist currently, I assume is the part they left out of that statement if you could get it to say all that stuff in like an hour of talking to it

I’m keeping my #Fringe rambling contained more or less to threads but I just feel a need to highlight how fucking meticulously crafted the first season of this show was in ways we could not appreciate until season 2 and beyond It was formulaic monster of the week TV but that was a SMOKESCREEN

David Robert Jones makes his grand entrance into my Fringe rewatch

Sometimes raiding goes smoothly in a static group and other times you become Cassandra and take bets

My tone/style has gotten really specific over time, especially how I write descriptions. I’m comfy enough with it to just use it universally, which makes me happy. People repeatedly call it sparse (i.e. light on adjectives), snappy, and fairly smooth to read, so I think I’m doing an okay job there!

it's 2025 social media should add a blur image option that isn't "sensitive", "explicit", "satanic", "you will get ptsd if you open this" but simply SPOILER

Justice has been served, with extra tomatoes

I forgot this existed so let’s feel decrepit together

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed. The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

If you only heard about this year’s World Series in passing (in which case you probably mostly just heard how it ended, which is only a part of the saga), I came across this article that breaks down pretty well all the ridiculous shit that happened + a little context: www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

being born extremely fucking cool, next question

In my continuing life’s mission to make every cat love me, I met my friend’s new(ish) cat Chicken Nugget at 5:15pm tonight, and at 5:20pm he was in my lap. By the end of the ball game when I was like “okay I should go home”, he was in a self induced coma tucked up against my hip and dream-kicking me

Dear Blue Jays, I love you now possibly even more than I did in the early 1990s but this shit was possibly more exhausting than the entire 1995-2024 period, next season please get a less stressful bullpen and just lock it down in 5 I know you’re the only Rogers product that functions but aim higher

They should bring the ghost runner back for extra innings but only in Game 7 of the World Series, just to piss everyone off.

finally. baseball is over. we can only hope it has been defeated forever

There's a whole country on the verge of a heart attack. Thank God we have universal healthcare

I’m in a glass case of emotion about this baseball game

Dodgers play of the game.

What a game of baseball that was (derogatory)

Ready for my spooky evening plans of having the laptop open for baseball updates while I sit around and play AC Odyssey for a while and then switch to watching Fringe (season 1 is extra festive because there’s more gross fx in all the monster of the week episodes)
