I never interact with anything TSwift related so it's really obvious when YouTube starts trying to get me to interact with Taylor Swift content to inflate the engagement

I cannot believe we have actual journalists talking about Etsy witches and curses. What the fuck is going on? Is it the 1690s?

So EA just got bought by a Saudi Arabian fund, Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners and another investment group. I'm not touching anything EA puts out anymore, not like they put out many good games anymore anyway.

Thanks to all those bee videos I see on YouTube I'm pretty chill about a bee landing on my hand while I'm looking at my phone. This one flies off and leaves a little puddle behind! Did I just get bee pee on me? #bees

#mushroom Mushrums

I'm genuinely really bummed that there wasn't a rapture. Maybe next time!

I go and lookup "male redhead video game characters" for Halloween ideas and the top result: Knuckles I mean I guess....

Interested to see how TikTok is going to operate when it's partly owned by the US Government and the Fox Media Corporation

Detour #Seattle

Got to love getting that single ER bill of over $1750. #America

It's that scene from The Dark Knight with the two ferries but this time someone on the civilian boat hits the button.

In the age of YouTube AI slop we need the dislike bar again.

Playing Fallout London is making me want to start up a standard Fo4 Survival run and build up a network of settlements covering The Commonwealth.

Going to grab my hi-vis vest, my name badge and official looking hat, a clipboard and maybe a ladder and then I can get into PAX easy-peasy!

I launch Borderlands 3 and I'm met with an ad for pre-ordering BL4. Fuck right off

"How did it get so bad?" cry the huddled masses before quickly returning to their feeds of endless distractions

Watching regular TV commercials I'm floored, but not really all that surprised by how many voice overs are done by AI voices.

Hearing my coworker talk about how his daughter wants to be a Social Media Influencer and he has zero pushback on it is one of the most depressing fucking things I've ever heard in my entire life.

Maintaining Snapchat streaks just so you can see the number go up is like having a pen pal who doesn't open the letters you write them.

Times must be hitting McDonald's pretty hard to be downgrading to 1 pickle per sandwich. fuck you

A weeks worth of OOTD posts where it's all the same outfit with progressively dirty hair because depression

I don't play Palworld, but Nintendo forcing them to remove features because they've patented gameplay ideas is such shitty behavior. Gameplay patents in general are terrible and limit creativity in the space. I swear Nintendo survives on nostalgia and when you take that away there's not much left.

Does anyone else get serial killer vibes when you see a couple wearing identical outfits?

Ah yes, the 4th of July. The day where a bunch of dipshits blow their hands off and set fire to our brushlands. Happy Birthday America, sad to see it enter it's sunset years

I'm interested to see what kind of gymnastics right wing journalists are going to be trying once low income Republicans start losing their insurance or food benefits. No... it couldn't be this big bullshit bill right?

Parents who buy their children, I'm talking under 13, e-bikes that can hit 30 miles an hour are doing it wrong

My hair goes from Slick Seattle Hipster to Sideshow Bob and all it takes is a shower

Really hope those aren't big explosions I'm hearing.....

"You wanna know how I got these scars?" Cut to me eating Otter Pops

I look over at a person on the bus "Oh, they're pretty cute" I look over again and they're mid yawn, wide-eyed with their mouth agape as if they're going to swallow a small dog whole. "Hmm, ok sometimes they're pretty cute..."

Patreon is raising the percentage it takes from new creators (again), from 8% to 10%, on August 4. People with existing Patreon pages get grandfathered into the old rate. If you're thinking about making a page, best to do it and publish it now.

June 14th is going to be a baaaaaaad day.

It's kind of ironic that Tom Felton who played the shitty, selfish, bigoted prick of a boy Draco Malfoy would approach trans issues with a selfish bigoted mindset of "It doesn't affect me so I don't care"

Posted my first TikTok in ages —-> www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Mgc49T/

It's wild to me that the possibility of 95 degree weather is cause for a National Weather Service alert. *Grabs and shakes cane at clouds* Back in my day we just slathered ourselves in sunscreen and drank lots of water. No need to get everyone all freaked out

Brand loyalty isn't a personality

I'm pretty bummed. Last week a birds nest in a birdhouse fell apart and the lil baby birds fell down onto the dried leaves on the deck. I managed to get them back up into the nest after making a makeshift repair to the birdhouse and the parents went back to feeding them.

Sometimes I listen to "happy time love music" but I do so aspirationally

this queen

Imagine still using Twitter or X after seeing such blatant manipulation of the Grok AI by Musk.

That scene from Batman where Bruce has access to everyone's cell phones for surveillance except it's Elon and his Teslas

Any time I see a celebrity doing a travel ad for Dubai I get the ick.

Happily added "MetGala" as a blocked tag. Ostentatious displays of wealth are gross.

Can't get OBS to cooperate so I think stream is cancelled for today. We raised $81 for Child's Play which is $81 they wouldn't have gotten otherwise so that's a good thing at least. Thanks to everyone who came out and to everyone who gave!

I've been trying to stream this morning but OBS keeps showing over 50% dropped frames due to a network issue, even if I drop things down to 30fps. Trying to get things figured out as I'd really prefer having more than 15fps for the viewers.

Going live with day two of the charity streams at 9am! We're almost halfway to the goal. Today we're getting into Lego: The Hobbit! A game which was sadly never finished as the Desolation of Smaug DLC was cancelled.

Day 1 of my Charity Livestream Weekend went great! Other than having some network issues with OBS we raised over a third of my goal for Child's Play! Another stream tomorrow morning and a long stream on Sunday! Twitch.tv/Scout_Silico

I now realized that one of my jobs as a cool uncle should be to buy outfits for my niece that match badass media characters, just to slip dope cosplay into her wardrobe but in stealth mode. "Huh, I guess she does look like Ripley from Alien. I hadn't noticed"
