I had a colleague who mentioned "my partner" even though he's in a hetero marriage. It gave me pause because it's yet another way we can disrupt the normal patterns of language.

Hot damn they revealed the contents of the Armageddon box (WH40k 11th edition launch) www.youtube.com/live/MfTSpDS...

You must watch Alien: Romulus next. The others have their value in the series but Romulus is the one true sequel to Aliens to me.

The Oracle never lied to Neo. She told him he wasn't the one. Remember the prophecy said that the one would be born in the Matrix. Neo was born in a pod. Agent Smith is who the prophecy was talking about. Agent Smith is who ended the war through Neo.

If failing upwards was a person.

When you download chrome from edge they put a banner at the top of the page how edge uses the same base as chrome and that you should stick with edge. I shit you not.

I wrote my first program at 8...well actually I typed in the code listing from the back of Compute magazine and got a free game for my effort. I guess my favorite memory was my Nana giving me my first computer the previous Christmas it set me on the road to software engineering.

Lizzie Mcguire for some reason even though I never watched it 😂

Care free and adventurous. In hindsight I put myself in serious danger a lot but because I didn't know better I didn't evaluate the risks of what I was doing.

Discovery. Im a constant learner and when I'm learning something new it's my childhood enthusiasm that drives me. During the pandemic I learned how to do miniature painting because all the board games I was collecting came with unpainted minis. instagram.com/mrbrowniepoi...

Aside from my Atari, I'd say my Voltron. It was a two foot figure with individual lions and the lion cockpits could actually seat the pilot figures (sold separately I never did get the pilots to go in the cockpits)

If I had to pick one it'd be The Last Dragon

Going back home to Chicago.

Samurai Jack

I hear the Rugrats opening theme.

As a kid when they were running their telethons they would say "Call in and give us your pledge" so I called and said I'd like to give a pledge. "Oh that's great what is it?" "I pledge allegiance to the flag..." I was totally sincere and thought I was doing a good thing. But I accidentally trolled

It's almost as if it takes actual knowledge of how to build software to make good software!

Follow the money... It's always been a cash grab disguised as "protecting our borders"

Big Poppa on a sitar...just made my day

M3gan 2.0 is a fun movie. At times it winks at you and laughs along at how unserious At other times it wants to be serious. It's a dark comedy action movie and I loved every minute of it.

Some people think that proximity to whiteness will protect them from the fallout of racism. All they end up doing is being a mouthpiece for what they want to say and can reference it as "I didn't say it, this minority did" The model minority myth is a ploy but guess what you're still not white.

When you in your 40's headed to drop $300 at the club real quick

Email from Snapchat my account was permanently locked for violating community standards. I found it odd because I never created a Snapchat account. I go through the steps to recover and it's some dude named Mark Brown. So that means Snapchat lets you create an account without verifying email

It never was. The Democratic party WAS the party of the Klan. The civil rights act WAS ratified by the Republican party JFK just happened to be president at the time. Party loyalists viewed it as betrayal and formed Dixiecrats GOP welcomed them and Dems became "progressive" by default.

Always a bop. This was produced by Bobby McFerrin's daughter.

Ever go to a leasing office and you can tell by their demeanor they are just not thrilled about the prospect of leasing to you. I'll probably have to send a non-melanated colleague to get the 411 on the place.

That damned sugar...

It's so weird the overwhelming MAJORITY (80%) of the US population lives in an urban environment. So how does living in a city not make you a *real" representative of the nation. If anything too many concessions are made for rural needs.

They think because they're using dog whistles we don't know it. But we see it held to their lips as they're blowing hard. DEI hire Woke The words change but we know what they're REALLY saying.

At this point in my startup's life, I've come to realize I'm not just working on a cool idea, I'm running a business. Everything I do, every decision I make has to be taken within the context of making this company viable. Especially since this is being bootstrapped I can't afford to waste effort.

Live action cyclops in classic blue and gold uniform... youtu.be/8bHYLYyES3w?...

When you use a chat agent for customer support, don't try to make it seem like it's a real human.

Baby you're like my favorite sled. I wanna whisper your name with my dying breath.

Wait wait wait...WAIT

I switched phones recently from iPhone to Pixel (Android). And the most irritating aspect of it is that I can't wholesale transfer the one time password settings from Microsoft Authenticator on the iPhone to the android. I have like fifteen OTPs and have to reestablish one by one on the new phone

"As long as her name is my last breath on earth" Brother that is the best definition of love I've ever read

That's the entire point of his shock and awe tactics oversaturated the news cycle with so much cruft that we become number to it. Like who is surprised this happened?

My daughter mentioned to me that she has recurring nightmares about active shooter drills becoming real. She mentioned it must be like the nuclear duck and cover drills we did in the 80s. I explained the difference is we didn't have nuclear bombs dropping every other day so it wasnt real to us.

That, as my people would say, was a word.

Thank you joy because we all see this buffoon for what he is. He wasn't even a good sports analyst. He was just loud wrong and obnoxious. And that is exactly why he's getting paid to be a racist mouthpiece that they get to say "well it was a Black guy who said it"

They just want to go back to simpler times where people who didn't fit in with their standards were locked up in passed cells and given shock therapy

Finally fired up Marvel Cosmic Invasion. Wolverine is my favorite character so far. He literally will jump on a guy slice him up with his claws and throw him across the screen. Paired with Captain America as my favorite team. It reminds me of X-Men Arcade and Captain America and the Avengers.

Got a rejection letter that was so generic, they addressed it to someone else. Funniest thing. I hadn't actually applied for a specific job. Had just been talking with one of their officers. I think the random letter from some recruiter I never interacted with was more insulting than being ghosted.

Michael Jordan was an amazing player. But LeBron is the GOAT. This coming from a Bulls fan. That this is a contentious statement shows that people listen to emotions rather than facts.

I'm so glad we discovered as a species that brussel sprouts taste good if you broil them instead of boiling them.
