I’m sorry WHAT

The Retroid Pocket 6 did arrive! Wasn’t a scam. After messing with it for a week, I think Android handhelds have been greatly oversold. They are not plug-n-play solutions and take gobs of time and effort to set up games — if they work at all. It’s promising, but not quite a Steam Deck Lite.

A reminder that the Fantagraphics Humble Bundle for every Peanuts strip ever made (via PDFs of all 43 of Fantagraphics' nifty hardback collections) is available for $25 (or more) until tomorrow night: www.humblebundle.com/books/collec...

I am so sad about this. Frank was a wonderful person who was happy to talk to me about comics and art. He came to one of our 24 Hour Comics day and drew with us for a while. www.facebook.com/story.php?st...

this being the thing that crosses the line for many rightwingers is so illustrative of how they don’t really care about anything real that actually matters. their problems are all entirely fictional

From this day in 2021: My nephews were curious about Final Fantasy after seeing a Moogle I drew and I described Chocobos as looking "kind of like Big Bird" so then I had to draw it.

No thanks

Guy at the Carpenter Brut / HEALTH show taking pictures with your 3DS, I salute you.

these motherfuckers said it would splashdown at 8:07 and it splashed down at 8:07. after going to the fucking moon. fucking a man. god damn

Finished up Star Trek TNG. Perfect television! Bought Deep Space 9 and started it. It’s good too, but not in HD!!?? 480i is tolerable, but the de-interlacing is aweful. Such bad combing artifacts! Now I want to get the DVDs and use the RetroTINK 4K. It would look so much better.

More of this because I can’t stop listening to this band. youtu.be/woj_-S5za_E...

I forgot I put a Target notification on a restock of the Retroid Pocket 6 12gb (that was discontinued because of RAM shortage) and was able to order one! Fingers crossed it isn’t a scam.

Oh, nuclear genocide is being threatened? Lovely. I’m sure typing messages in this glowing rectangle will fix it. Yeah, sure.

SNL UK is absolutely putting its American counterpart to shame dear lord

I put my phone and computer in Do Not Disturb mode last year and never switched it off. My life is much better now. I don’t care that some people don’t like it. I have missed a few meetings because of it but the benefits outweigh the downsides. www.wired.com/story/my-bli...

Today, March 32nd, Greendale Community College officially bans April Fools' Day (Community, s01e20, 2010)

Why do I keep watching this over and over? I'm not into basketball! I don't speak French! I love it, though. Let's hear it for cartoons! youtu.be/s1At5s0YLSs?...

This all sounds fake, but you really need to have offline copies of your stuff. Cloud servers can go away at anytime no matter what company owns them.

This is real bad. Public lands are at risk. These are things that make the US amazing. All this relocation is cruel to staff who will get pay cuts. This administration has been abusing federal workers for years. I’m sure the goal is to make people who care quit. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Allowing everyone from strip mall psychics to snake oil salesmen to TikTok conspiracy Nazis to major corporations to use this phrase as if it grants diplomatic immunity to commit fraud and abuse is both a massive problem and a load-bearing pillar of the US economy.

OK giving Disco Elysium a go. It’s been in my Steam library for a long time. *plays for an hour, dies in a stupid way because a dice roll failed, theres no save game, didn’t auto save or tell me to save, I have to start over* OK. Going to play something else.

You would get so many more amazing books if you had Universal Basic Income. Not even the most dream-scenario AI could compete with the creativity of a world of authors no longer afraid of affording rent.

Your periodic reminder that there is a website that lets you listen to local radio stations anywhere in the world This is honestly one of the coolest inventions ever, imo. Global access to hyper-local imagined communities

Spent a couple of weeks overseas with organized and streamlined travel. As soon as I land in the states I get armed border control and almost get scammed by a illegitimate taxi. I feel like a tourist in some Central American country. WTF

These are DRM-free! $25 for all the Peanuts comics. www.humblebundle.com/books/collec...

Gang. GANG. Here's that Ghanian bootleg Cheers artwork you were looking for.

Oh no!

Stranger Things The Complete Series (4K/Blu-ray) Standard/Deluxe up for preorder at Arrow Video buff.ly/NR4bw7E

This this all of this. I could quote this whole article. hbr.org/2026/03/when...

Goodwill had a pile of CDs today. Grabbed a few. Most were blind grabs. I think they are rock bands. I really wanted that Decemberists album but … nope. Oh well, they were 96¢ a piece!

Every time I see this cover art for The Wild Robot, I see the robot eating the duck.

King Sorrow by Joe Hill is $2 on Kindle right now. Very worth a read. Get it before it goes up in price. amzn.to/4rnOluA

Looking through my CDs and totally forgot about this album. Jude, No One is Really Beautiful. Bangers all the way through. I wonder who BT is. Guess I got this album used.

Today’s #thrift find was a couple more nodes for my WiFi mesh system! I’ve probably spent $40 total on my house mesh system, cables, and switches. All came from Goodwill!

I was playing around with the Figma Console MCP plugin this weekend and it’s feels like something to watch. Viewing components as art boards and being able to push visual changes back to your codebase is making my brain spin with all the possibilities. figma-console-mcp.southleft.com

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore. If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

idk I’ve seen a bajillion kids movies where the kids parents die & let me tell you, having a convo with my kid about how anyone can die at any time & it doesn’t matter if they’re someone’s mom or dad is way harder than having a convo about how sometimes someone has two dads or whatever. And yet

Gravity Falls Complete Series (HD Digital) is $14.99 on Apple TV (open link on iOS device to purchase) buff.ly/7IW6mDy #ad Fandango at Home buff.ly/NLj5h9T

Yeah. That’s what Jesus would do.

I just played through Bloodborne on PC at 1440p, 60fps. It crashed some at one point, had some traverseal stuttering, but otherwise ran well. I agree, tho. Patch the PS5 version. That’s all we need. It’s a near perfect game.

amazing, no notes. Microsoft gets tired of people using the term “Microslop,” bans the word on its Discord, then locks the server after backlash to the ban www.windowslatest.com/2026/03/02/m...

Watched the Star Trek TNG episode “The Chase” and that ending didn’t do it for me. They just met God! And all that happened was Picard and the Romulan caption just winked and agreed to maybe not kill each other.

It’s funny if you call PayPal or visa lines and bring this up asking why they claim “adult illustrations” is against their regulations but betting on the death of kids is totally fine. They don’t have an answer. In fact yall should call them at least once a day with this :)

Pope Leo XIV to his priests: stop using AI to write sermons. “‘To give a homily is to share faith,’ he said, and AI ‘will never be able to share faith.’” [futurism.com]

Kansas is sending letters to trans people telling them that their licenses will be revoked as of tomorrow and that they risk arrest for driving on a suspended license. This is pure cruelty. www.erininthemorning.com/p/kansas-sen...
