Pikmin Bloom players, join us for a mass walk in October.

Wouldn't it be something if this effort could be monetized for charity? Someone smart think of a way.

Aaand they skipped right to the chase. It is what it is.

Refreshing FB got this Temu ad on my feed. It is not what...you get the idea. I have no idea as to why I get these easily misinterpreted Temu ads in succession.

This just showed up on my FB feed. It is also not what you think it is.

Went to my...43rd anniversary? high school reunion. Maybe twenty folks at a pub. People recognized me, but I was very often, "I am so sorry, but..." Then this one lady came up. Zero recognition on my part. But she's obviously pleased to see me, so I asked. She tells me, and finally I clue in.

This fat boy was visiting just now.

One thing she liked to do was make me play her favorite songs, and then have me explain the lyrics. And, in really examining the words, I'd sometimes discover what they're really saying and get choked up. And she would laugh, "Are you crying?" "So are you." Man, I miss that.

Kabuki x Eva Yokohama Arena 2/23/26

New Kasabian single. These guys came long before Wet Leg.

へっへー、いいもん見っけ

I ran my own account on the BS user-profile app IDed in the OG post. 9.8 Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 for PC scored that on Metacritic. See reply for sceencap of my score.

I was saying to a friend, "I'm kinda amazed my daughters came running when I told them my friend died. Guess they suddenly got scared of losing me. How'd I luck out with them? I'm so blessed." "Dude, you did that." ...Oh. Try to live better. Your community will be better for it.

A friend of decades passed yesterday. Not at all unexpected; they had health issues galore. I'm sad but not devastated. My girls became more emotional and came running last night. I was befuddled as to why they'd be so upset then eureka: They just realized I'm not going to be around forever.

K, yeah, Pikmin Bloom is low-stress and it's good for ya. Gamify your have-to-leave-the-house ordeals and get healthier in the process. Be my Pikmin pal!

Got my monthly Pikmin Bloom event squad to 5-digit power. Pretty quick at 23 days, but I have been buying mushroom raid passes to join friends.

What exactly is the point of a country that doesn't care for the health and well-being of the people? It should be the country's duty to educate and promote health. Because people ARE the country. Investing in them elevates the country as a whole. We all benefit from empowerment.

This isn't anything new, but it's still an important lesson. Maybe even more of one today.

I love sports highlights. It's such a treat watching people be extraordinary. I couldn't stop laughing at Ichiro turning routine in-field clunkers into hits.

Despite being on social media for decades, I've been pretty lucky about avoiding terrible people. Blocking jerks on sight probably helps. I also never QRT jerks. I can't be bothered for one. What a waste of my time. I also don't need my friends involved.

If someone can't disagree with a total stranger online in a civil manner, they're probably not worth knowing. Well, they might be, but not to the point of putting up with a jerk.

Gee, just a couple weeks ago, someone did a carbon-copy cover of Beastie Boys' "Sabotage." And now, a crappier but faithful cover of Modern English's "I Melt With You." There's no need for such. Well, except live. But c'mon release originals. Like, why do bother if you're not going to make it yours?

Don't think I'm dumb, but I make dumb mistakes a-plenty. Since our deeds define us, it must follow that I'm actually dumb. You don't have to tell me I'm not dumb/or am. Just pondering if the logic holds up. If the argument is "everyone can make dumb mistakes," then what's the cutoff?

Durry, who'd just released their more sombre sophomore album in June thereabouts, dropped a new single. They're on a US/Canada tour between October and November. They're playing Vancouver at the tiny Fox Cabaret on 10/14 for about 30 bucks. I'll be there. Come say hi!

Ethanol (alcohol): CH3CH2OH THC: C21H30O2 Heroin: C21H23NO5 Caffeine: C8H10N4O2 Meth: C10H15N LSD: C20H25N3O Nicotine: C10H14N2 Sheesh, they're all compounds made of just carbon, hydrogen and/or oxygen and nitrogen.

Saw some JP X user's profile: "I am ADHD. If any of my posts are inappropriate, they are input errors arising from my disability. To attack me for them is discriminatory." I don't think it's fair to absolve yourself of any accountability that way. I'd certainly not want to associate with them.

Giggled at some JP X user's handle: Debubu

Have to bump this. Even if I get a new job before next month, I won't have enough to cover rent. I really need help badly. Please, please, please share. 🙏

Bougie doggy snacks. Like $10.

Apparently, this was really a thing. I have no recollection at all.

I have no idea. Not a very good judge on how other folks perceive me. I think my friends like me, though I know I can exasperate and incense. Test yourself (link in my first reply).

Got curious about laws concerning edibles since I remember Oregon's THC content limit was laughably low on the eve of COVID. Oregon: "Marijuana edibles now can have up to 100 mg THC in the package and 10 mg THC per serving." Canadian laws appear to be far more lax. These'll DESTROY weekend flyers.

They operate from an almost unconscious presumption of absolute impunity. Violence is strictly one way; they have a moral right and duty to inflict it, and the out-group has a moral duty to suffer it. It doesn't matter who did it; that anything at all happened to them is unnatural and terrifying.

Does no one ever consider repercussions anymore? There are always consequences. FAFO's in the headlines every day, but no one seems to ever learn. I'd love to play chess against these people. I could probably run the tables with simple pawn sacrifices, never mind exposing any capital pieces to risk.

Frankly surprised it doesn't happen much more often in a heavily armed society that glorifies violent vigilantism. Add a political climate of belittling, dehumanizing, marginalizing the "other," and hey presto, an angry, divided society lacking in compassion and tolerance. Sow, reap. Yippie ki-yay.

No comment.

These guys make short work of dead trees.

WAC returns to anime with a 3-hour-long episode about "Slayers," a fantasy farce loved by overseas fans in the VHS era! Joining us is @spacecoyote.com, who watched hours of creator interviews on Youtube to bring us English speakers new production info. whatacartoonfeed.libsyn.com/what-a-carto...

Found someone'd stuffed the flower jar on my wife's bench with ratty dandelions. Probably little kids. I laughed when I saw it and then found myself crying, too.

Anyone local (as in vicinities of PoMo, BC) want a 28" CRT? Comes with stand, Blu-Ray player and cable. It's all in working order and seems an awful waste to just huck out.

Looking west at the sunset at the playing field below my wife's bench. The bench is just off the screen at the right on the slope.

I'll just leave this important reminder here, useful for whenever you share anything as a link. (The image in the quoted post doesn't have alt text but there's a link to the reddit post it's screenshotted from in the replies of the post.)

Bought Volxelgram 2 for Switch. It's nearly identical to Picross 3D, but with a new 2-color feature that needlessly complicates things. The interface is finnicky and annoying. But, hey, I LOVE Picross 3D.

Ichiro assembled a team of ex-pros to take on JP high-school all-star GIRLS. He pitched and hit two batters in the first inning, the first with the first pitch...and then went all nine innings, giving up just one hit and striking out 14. Hideki Matsui smacked a homer. No mercy at all.

Sorry, but I don't have much time for strangers who don't know words like "please" and "thanks." Or am I being just old and out of step with today's cultural norms?

@nobogasawara.bsky.social Found ya. :3

K, I'm bored and I got some time. I'll katakana- and kanji-fy your name. Provide pronunciation if your name's hard to read. If you name has a meaning in its mother tongue like "Standing knee-deep in a swift, cold river" that'll also be helpful.

Doggo!!! 🦮💕✨ A caricature commission I did of @nobogasawara.bsky.social’s doggo. Thank you so much for commissioning and supporting me, this was beyond fun. A version with and without the birthday hat and a lil picture to compare. ☺️💕 #art #portrait #dog #commission
