Remembering that someone on social media once said that Trump in term one was "an average American president" and I wonder if they still think that or if they'd double-down on that *term one* point?

You’re allowed to yell, “You’ve betrayed your uniform!” At anyone wearing one if they do actually do that. Military, police, Hot Dog on a Stick employee, anyone.

Getting into vinyl is finding out that albums vary wildly in price in a way that is completely opaque if you are just browsing Amazon.

Just going to mute anyone who says TACO from now on. I don’t think I’ll miss any of them.

California officially having a "larger" economy than fucking JAPAN with a third of the population but still having homelessness, hunger, and no universal healthcare should be enough to disqualify Gavin Newsom from the presidency.

Agent Smith on BlueSky’s instability; “What good is a hot take Mr. Anderson if you are unable to post?”

Going to be annoyed I missed the heavily discounted used EV market now that the panic over gas prices is setting in. Would have been nice to get a Porsche for like $50k.

I think fan service* needs to be treated like jump scares in horror films. Cheap, base, easy, and unpleasant unless they are deployed with some kind of craft. A thing you recognize that’s just there for you to recognize is the same as a 90 decibel violin shriek. *The new kind, not the anime kind.

They need to make a fighting game that uses the alley fight between Keith David and Roddy Piper in They Live as inspiration for the mechanics and especially the character designs.

Went to an old vinyl records store and above anything else it was nice to see something that cost less than a dollar again.

Bartender Hatori Hanson, “If you should meet God with this drink then God himself will get drunk.”

Always a good bit in a story where a villain has a really specific or elaborate weapon like an ostentatious sword or a cape made of daggers or something but after they start losing a fight they just whip out a gun and hope that helps them win.

On a first date. I try to keep it cool, but the mozzarella sticks haven't even arrived before I'm shrieking at her, "are you an anti-bedtime leftist?! ANSWER ME!!!"

People talk about the "placebo effect" but rarely mention the "gazebo effect" which states that beer is better if you drink it on a gazebo. Also, hotdogs are more powerful.

How do we get the deviled egg interior inside of an egg that still has a shell on it? You get to have the fun of crackin’ that shell and then you get a savory treat instead of a plain hard boiled yolk.

I heard that because they have better cameras now the astronauts on Artemis 2 are going to point them back at earth and take pics of YOUR house.

I think we can put the “Putin puppets Trump!” thing to bed folks. Everyone in the world is aware of the Epstein files now, SCOTUS has given him immunity to do crimes and he’s used that to steal billions of dollars from us. I just don’t think Putin has any kind of leverage over Donny anymore.

AI actors aren’t alive but the way they announced that they “deactivated Tilly Norwood” sure makes it sound like they killed someone.

What I'm listening to today: "Boomhauer w/ dang ol' drums", David Dockery featuring voice of Mike Judge … www.youtube.com/watch?v=2DYB...

“Doctor! Your advances are in violation of the fraternization ethics code 37, subsection 4, paragraphs 7-15…and that’s just the way I likes it.”

Cool of Gen X to make the Artemis mission about themselves because of the Challenger Disaster. Do boomers get to wait with bated breath on the way to the moon because of Apollo 13 and Millennials get to post about the return flight because of Columbia?

I’m understanding of people who say that NASA stuff is problematic in a country that still has hungry and homeless people but the yearly budget of NASA is nearly a rounding error compared to the rest of the money we waste on other shit that also isn’t spent on people.

What’s the funniest movie to slot into all of those posts you get whenever a kids movie pops up and the adults that go and see them want to defend them with like zero substance? You know, something like…

When It happens it shouldn’t matter if you’re listening to a podcast, music streamer, or even a vinyl record. They should find a way to audibly beam the news to you.

The Onion doesn’t often miss but one giant whiff was that joke about “Star Trek fans mad that movie can be not boring/thrilling” after ST ‘09 was released. The biggest problem with the Next Gen movies is that they are dumb action schlock! First Contact (the “good” one) is basically a zombie movie.

Why do they call them stands when people sit down in them? Why are they also called bleachers when they are often dirty?

If I were Dr. Frankenstein instead of fully animating a corpse I would have just put sunglasses on one and had him dance to music.

My BS algorithm has started serving up a lot of Vtubers posting their stream schedules for some reason and instead of an idealized anime version of me for an avatar I’d rather stream with something that looks more like Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force.

Star Trek doesn’t need 22+ episode seasons because that’s somehow required to make a well defined cast of characters. It needs that many because every episode of the new shows should have had roughly half the budget.

Watching @mermaidseph.bsky.social play Death Stranding 2 (again) and personally I hate these good graphics. I dislike that the landscapes are rendered such that it calls to mind the splendor of our real-life natural world. I don't like being reminded that we have but one precious planet to cherish.

“Oh you call yourself a Nintendo fan? Then why have you only played their most popular games instead of a bunch in genres you probably don’t like? Huh? You like platforming but not punishing turn-based combat, you freak?!”

Who's going to be the first millennial found crushed under a giant pile of the print version of The Onion?

Large AI data centers shouldn't exist at all of course but it's weird that they don't even try to make them seem more appealing by coating every inch of their roofs with solar panels. "Look, we'll provide a small % of our own power" seems like it'd help but if they were smart they wouldn't be in AI.

Me now that I have to officially cancel Futurama after that “Bender competes in the Women’s Division of the Olympics” has gone from very problematic to active hate speech thanks to the intervening 20+ years and the International Olympic Committee’s bigotry.

People looking at me weird in coffee shop just because I choose to stir in my cream and sugar with my car keys. I guess we stopped caring about using single-use plastic silverware 🙄

Was I subconsciously inspired by this episode for my PFP?! No.

At first it looked like they were turning Mario into Sonic with those movies but now they are turning it into Fortnite which IS worse.

My computer is working fine. Just wanted to let everyone know. I didn’t switch to Linux or anything that would help/change that fact, but I felt left out of the OS conversation. So yeah, computer is working fine, no complaints with ol’ W11 currently.

Cool that my iPhone just deleted all of my saved Apple Maps pins, saved places, guides, and recent places with seemingly no way to recover them.

Hearing it now on the music station in this eatery, King of the Hill was right, “Feels So Good” by Chuck Mangioni is a great track.

“I’m going to post this every day—“ Not on my timeline, bud.

So, if Sony had done their "we're dropping PC game ports" thing before Marathon this game would have sold less than 400,000 copies? I don't think doing so at the current price of $40 would have been profitable but then I'm not a Sony exec.

Of all the gambits Epic could try, "we need to cut costs in order to keep the lights on at the Fortnite factory," is the least believable. Truly insulting.

Explosion of discourse again recently over libposting and I just want to say that I welcome all libs except the ones that treat this place like Facebook. I’ve had my fill of the fake Peanuts comic panel where Woodstock says “fuck!” after Snoopy tells him Trump isn’t dead yet.

You will never cleanse my timeline, I will simply scroll one more post and find new horrors waiting for me.

Starting to see “we need to get our brave TSA agents payed so they can keep up their noble task” posts and I’d like to ask that just because ICE is in competition for the worst agency in the US we not forget that TSA is also generally loathsome.

Surprised that “don’t think of them as people, think of them as Americans” quote from Fallout season 2 isn’t being posted a million times every day on here. Given the character who says it is Canadian you think the 🇨🇦 in username people would have it tattooed on their body by now.

Wild how much the new Honda Prelude looks like a Toyota Prius, at least or especially from the front. Even more wild that I think the current (2023) Prius is overall a better-looking design. Like holistically it comes together in a way that the Prelude doesn't. Not a bad car just...could be better?

Rolled credits on Hades and sure seems like there was a lot of features in that game left? Lots of unlocks and some kind of companion system and relationship stuff. Weird but ah well, if the credits rolled that’s the end!
