I've killed dozens of people. I possess space wizard powers. I command my own ship. But I still have to interview for an entry-level Ryujin position like an ordinary schlub. This economy sucks. 🙃🤪 #Starfield

My four favorite space games on Steam. Interestingly, NMS and Starfield are neck and neck in player counts. Does that mean NMS is a dead game, too? 🙃

Al Jazeera has also done good work with the recent Iran conflict.

Trump’s war with Iran now reads like a Monty Python sketch performed with live ammunition. The public thinks he’s unfit for office, and after this week’s fiasco, it’s hard to argue otherwise. #Blogging #Blogpost robotjazz.blogspot.com/2026/05/fiel...

My painting SUMMER STORM

Bezos “obeyed in advance” so hard that it’s gonna be hilarious when he pretends he never supported any of this.

I had to take a break from binging #Starfield to do some Cold War-era wargaming (I confess: I get nostalgic for the days of my youth!). Here, the 8. Pulk Czolgow advances against a West German position as an artillery smokescreen detonates overhead. #Regiments #Microprose #PCGaming

NEW: Study finds attending a Major League ball game costs an average $225 — thanks to higher ticket and concession prices. Every MLB team owner is in the richest 0.1% and will receive an average $286,000 in tax breaks this year. Giving the rich more money helps no one but them.

And now for something completely different… Cat in the Summer Meadow Jeppe,the artist's cat 1920 Bruno Andreas Liljefors 1860-1939 Swedish Best known for nature & animal motifs, in dramatic situations. Most important and influential Swedish wildlife painter of late 19th/early 20th century

To a pluviophile such as myself, this is poison! Having southern NY in an abnormally dry to drought condition is something usually reserved for late summer (September or so). To have it happen in spring is very unusual. I hate it! I hate the garish sun in my face every damn day!

What happened this week near the Islamic Center of Deer Park is unacceptable. Anti-Islam graffiti has no place in our communities, and no one should ever feel unsafe because of how they pray. Long Island is stronger than hate. We must stand together, reject hate in all forms.

How a nation with a goldfish memory keeps picking the same wrecking ball and wonders why everything collapses. #Blogging #Blogpost robotjazz.blogspot.com/2026/05/its-...

Unacceptable. Jonathan Ross should be in custody awaiting trial for the murder of Renée Good.

The final message from the Irish president’s sister, who was kidnapped by Israel off the coast of Crete while participating in the latest Freedom Flotilla to break the siege on Gaza🇵🇸🇮🇪

This week, I learned two things: my spine is mortal, and so is the myth of presidential vigor. One collapse happened in my bedroom. The other happened on camera. I wrote about both. #Blogpost #Blogging robotjazz.blogspot.com/2026/04/a-pa...

A majority of Americans say their financial situation is worse than it was during two recessions. Any more questions on why the GOP wants to keep people from voting?

It's #InternationalJazzDay! A few years ago, I wrote a blog post celebrating America's gift to the world of music. It is one of the few pieces this amateur blogger still takes pride in! robotjazz.blogspot.com/2025/04/jazz...

In case you were wondering if the Dems were going to capitulate to their corporate overlords in a hasty attempt to return to the status quo, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social just answered that question.

Good night and sleep well! 🙂

We are again making history as a nation. A gunman fires shots at a presidential appearance, and the overwhelming reaction is to assume that it is staged. The president then gives a presser, and people change the channel because they just don't care. Well done, MAGA. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/04...

Has anyone checked that betting site?

It might be fun to have a #Starfield DLC focused on HopeTech and enhanced space-trucking gameplay. Maybe something that lets us run a shipping company with multiple ships. Something like that. Just an idea.

Popular expressions I am sick of hearing: "Boots on the ground" "Glazed" "Pure cinema" "Insane" Please desist at once. You sound like an idiot.

Share a memorable movie death scene! 😵🖤 I (I consider the entire season to be one movie. :) The actual movie was rather awful.)
