Hardcover is a pretty swell Goodreads alternative. Check out my 2025 wrapped over there.

I assume they will continue to break this law forever and simply get pardoned if prosecuted. Great system we’ve got here.

Your reminder that ModRetro --the company behind this, as well as a publisher of Gameboy games-- is owned by war profiteer, Palmer Luckey. But watch as far too many retro game sites and enthusiasts will fall over themselves to give this coverage.

So sad. He made some of my favorite films of all time. RIP

Jimmy Fallon would host the Hunger Games.

A friendly reminder that TYPEFACE refers to a style of lettering (e.g., Calibri) while FONT refers to a specific weight and size of a typeface (e.g., Calibri Bold 12 pt)

RIP Todd Snider. Gone way too soon.

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

Damn... RIP

Truth bomb‼️ This man should be the one speaking on college campuses… “They’re planning for us to turn on each other and make this culture war a civil war. I am begging you, please, for the love of God, for the love of our neighbors… do not take the bait.” Watch

I subscribe. The Verge has always been excellent, and their reporting on this is no exception.

I've been spiraling all morning about mainstream media lionizing the dead fascist, but it's this. It's so simple.

[writing the constitution] Benjamin Franklin: Write down "no dumb fucks as president" Alexander Hamilton: Stop saying that Benjamin Franklin: I'm tellin' you. You're gonna regret not writing that down

RIP Ryno. One of my first favorite ball players.

Finally moving off Spotify. Tried Apple Music, Tidal, and Qobuz. Apple Music desktop is ugly & scrobble support sucks. Importing to Qobuz failed in a couple of ways. Tidal wins!

Our future president thought “my signature can be the pubes”

Happy Weird Fourth, everyone.

It would be super cool not to spend the totality of my 40s feeling sad all the time. Let's work on that, America.

My kid.

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

Yeah my job is pretty cool. My uniform is a tactical vest that’s two sizes too small and a gaiter I bought in a gas station. They send me to sneak into schools to kidnap little kids because people got mad about having to press 1 for English. The president had to warn everyone to stop spitting on me.

Wild to me that none of the tech journalists I follow know that Ivory is an iOS Mastodon client (not a "fake social network") or that Allen Stone is a pretty well-known singer. #wwdc25

RIP Peter David, one of my all-time favorite comic book writers. His Aquaman, Incredible Hulk, and X-Factor runs are some of the best in comics. Losing your childhood heroes as you get older sucks.

If you think Ms. Rachel is antisemitic because she advocates for children in Gaza, you're deranged.

I'm definitely not in college, but this is some "is Rob back in college?" shit I got in the mail today.

Joe Cocker finally made the Rock HOF! Long overdue! https://www.syracuse.com/entertainment/2025/04/woodstock-legend-more-to-be-inducted-into-rock-and-roll-hall-of-fame.html

So I remember this later, apparently there's a non-zero chance Yahoo could buy Google Chrome. Within that chance, there's also a slim possibility they could rename it Netscape. Time is a flat circle, my friends.

Got my bookshelf data on my website switched off of Goodreads to Hardcover. If you haven't checked out Hardcover (https://hardcover.app) for tracking your books, you're missing out.

Trying out a way to post notes from my phone. New stuff happening on my website!

I don't think AI is our savior or generally that great, but I've been using Claude to decipher some truly inscrutable documentation this morning. It would've taken me hours, or I would've given up. But now I have webhooks on my server.

It does seem to be getting out of hand. How does a society reestablish the cultural taboo against lying out out of your ass?

These gutless fucks will lie until the world ends before they take responsibility for anything.

New Jeffrey Lewis album day! https://albumwhale.com/albums/28848

Lately, I've been separating as many of my dollars from big tech as possible. Today I shut down my AWS account after dumping Amazon devices and services over the last couple of weeks. Fuck Jeff Bezos and the other gutless billionaires ruining our country (see my last quote post about WaPo if you ne

Hey cool more soot

Twice in my lifetime the innocent French fry has been elevated to national controversy. First freedom fries after 9/11 and now Steak ‘n Shakes’ new nazi fries. What a ludicrous timeline we live in.

Job cuts and cuts to benefits aren't just line items in some spreadsheet. Those numbers represent real damage to people. I know the cruelty is the point for these ghouls, as they inflict as much damage on Americans as possible. When do things start to break?

"Let's shag ass."

THEM: you look tired ME: I am tired THEM: oh right because of the… ME: the horrors yeah THEM: right right, that’s right

Today feels like one of the worst days to be an American in my lifetime. What a miserable farce this government is. All for what? Money? 🔗 https://roblindsey.com/notes/2025/20250228230900/

When you don’t realize like 95% of the noise on your feed was from one person you follow, and then you mute that person and your feed instantly becomes usable and interesting again.

#comicsdna That X-men issue was a really weird first comic book for a little kid, but it definitely made me want to find out what the hell was going on.

I don’t care if you’re a relative, a fantasy novelist, or an elected official, transphobia is manufactured outrage and transphobe are trash. None of America’s problems are cause by trans people. None. But a LOT are caused by bigots.
