Why am I posting about a Surface Duo from 2020? Because the community continues to release modern Android updates for it long after Microsoft ended support in 2023. So I'm presently working on unlocking my favorite phone ever to breathe new life into it and return it to daily driver status.

Being an early adopter of Microsoft's Surface Duo AT&T exclusive phone was, in retrospect, maybe not well thought out on my part. I love the phone - I stan tf out of it - but putting myself at an intersection where I need support from both of the world's shittiest corporations was... a choice.

Me, listening to any U2 song

A Star Trek show with with men wearing dress, an atypical Klingon in Starfleet, a person with a disability visible and atypical women in positions they typically haven’t had in Trek before?!?!? How dare they?!? How woke! The Next Generation is wildly woke.

McIver: Do you consider yourself a religious man? Lyons: Yes McIver: How do you think judgment day will work for you with so much blood on your hands? Do you think you’re going to hell?

The decline of modern civilization began when Sony abandoned consumer electronics. Send skeet

Finally. Thank the Maker!

I love her so much

Been breaking internet addiction & big tech. I dumbed my phone’s interface. Got a digital watch. Went back to CDs, DVDs, and BlueRays. I listen to commercial free radio. A paperback book, notebook/pen, gaming handheld doodad, and MP3 player are my daily carries. I own everything and I am happy.

Newly Unsealed Batch Of Epstein Estate Photos Contains Rare Holographic Dershowitz

It is incredible to me that the illiterate dead loser is the second most cringe person in this email thread

The quiet rage building as I hear President Slump boast he’s building a 100,000 person stadium in front of the White House for his cool MMA b-day party, and then flash back to the austerity cosplay bullshit that was DOGE obliterating every service and protection we used to get for our tax dollars…

Odd. I don’t seem to recall her arrest or charges for her protest in this church. I thought we’re defending Christianity, DOJ…

Nick Shirley and others like him are reminiscent of yellow journalism of the 19th century, updated and turbocharged by social media algorithms. Read more: www.theverge.com/news/869824/...

Well, Schitt. But seriously, damn. That’s a loss.

Meanwhile, The Verge is doing the Lord’s work. Stop state violence.

I’ve had disintegrating shoes with more integrity than NY Post. Fuck NY Post.

I’m sorry but if you believe a word Noem or the rest of the Feds are saying about the execution of Alex Pretti at the hands of ICE murderers in Minneapolis this morning, you have shit for brains and no soul. Full stop, you are stupid. He never even tried to draw his gun and we all saw that.

I’m not reading all that. I’m happy for you or sorry that happened

No, no. Not MechaHitler. The other reprehensible thing you do. You know the one.

A copy of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater doesn’t make you Tony Hawk. Playing Guitar Hero guitar doesn’t make you a guitarist. And a hand-me-down regifted Nobel Peace Prize doesn’t make you a Nobel Peace Prize Winner. That last one sure makes you look pathetic though

“As the bullies always said to me as they stuffed me in my locker every day of middle school, ‘might makes right.’” - Stephen “NosferaTEMU” Miller

As I continue my descent into forsaking modern electronics more every day, I have embraced the classic Casio F-91W watch. Love that 80s aesthetic

It’s so fucking true

Starfleet Academy’s first episode rocks. I had fun. Hopeful Trek, with Holly Hunter and Paul Giamatti? And I get the Doctor again? And later I get more Tig Notaro? Hell yeah. Also, I hear Stephen Miller was whining about how Star Trek doesn’t have enough white people now so, I love it even more.

“We’re not murderers. Now shut up or we’ll murder you.”

Know who profits from ICE's cruelty. https://www.thenation.com/article/activism/ice-businesses-boycott-campaign/

I’m sorry, I misunderstood what lack of standing meant

C’mon, Greenland. You could be ruled by sociopathic tech oligarchs with their dementia-ridden puppet President. Your food quality could be shittier, your healthcare and cost of living unaffordable, and get shot in the face by ICE and/or a mass shooter. Why aren’t you taking this deal, it’s amazing?

Wow. Looks like shrimp are real party animals.... allthatsinteresting.com/england-coca...

There's this episode of Star Trek where Captain Picard is captured and tortured, and the main way that the torturer tries to break him is by showing him four lights, and telling him that there are five. There are four lights. This is not a post about Star Trek.

“Sweeeeeeet Ca-Ro-Line”

I had once had a startling and unsettling revelation that watching new Star Trek is almost a religious sacrament for me. TNG apparently did something spiritually formative to me. So I, uh, hope Starfleet Academy is halfway decent.

Last year, I did not purchase a single game from a single studio or publisher that laid people off. That is my SOP from now on.

If we’re taking works out of colleges for promoting any kind of race or gender identity ideology, then we need to take the Bible out too. Galatians 3:28 sounds pretty woke. “There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.”

I will return in Avengers: Doomsday

To my surprise, the reviews for Star Trek: Starfleet Academy have all been really good. I’m greatly looking forward to watching it without paying those Ellison fucks for it.

Sometimes you just gotta put on the vinyl copy of Wendy Carlos’ Switched On Bach that your wife just surprised you with, and bliss out to a trans queen on a Moog synth playing “Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring." Find joy in the nightmare where you can, friends.

Idk, man. I’m just sayin’, for a bunch of people that literally never shut up about liberty and government overreach, they seem to hate liberty and love government overreach.

Finally, some good news. I remember reading a book about this guy while I was in middle school. Absolute piece of shit that got people killed. And outright moron too.

Does the FIFA World Peace Prize mean nothing to you, Donald?
