Just think, at this very moment, the leads of fourteen future Spider-Man reboots currently walk the Earth.

So apparently it's possible to get a muscle strain that makes the skin over your entire thigh feel like it's on fire, did you know this? Well I've now discovered this wonderful biological phenomenon.

1. The New York Times, unsurprisingly, has released yet another hit piece on transgender people. This time, it comes from Jesse Singal. I fact check it in my latest piece. End your NYT subscription, and put it towards people doing good work on the issue. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I'm cold.

Oh come on man.

Bike

A game of all time. Possibly the best of the last decade.

Idea: true crime podcast for moms where they sit around and shake their heads saying things like "Isn't it just awful?"

This is nothing new, of course, but American TV ads are just wild. I question the wisdom of airing commercials for prescription medicine - especially when they're followed by ads for predatory services offering seniors payment assistance for them.

Alexa how do I get my mother to stop talking about Nancy Guthrie

More Miss Fisher today. How is it that Essie Davis is not an international star?

I'd forgotten just how large American supermarkets are, aisles the width of highways and the whole place could fit the population of Andorra.

Watching Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries with my mom. Cosy personified.

Drop a crush from your youth.

Eat more hole foods.

Just woke up from a dream where I was playing bar trivia with @ozzy-mo.bsky.social and he offered me a piece of cake he'd brought that he called Patty Cake and it was delicious, thank you Oscar for the dream cake.

Warren, PA, my hometown. Not quite what it used to be, but it's good to visit home.

It's 4:55 am in the USA and I'm wide awake because my brain think it's 10:55 quick tell me something funny.

Aaaand travel to the USA is underway. Brussels -> Amsterdam -> JFK -> Buffalo and im jittery.

(saying my daily affirmation) Yes

Game-chatter discourse is always fun. I recognise the instinct to keep players engaged and directed, but add too much, and the chatter has an air of fear and defensiveness. I've usually got some patience for it, but there is one high-profile series that I abandoned for that reason.

We've finally come full circle. People are longing for less chatter dialogue in their games by referencing ocarina, a game that people consistently complained about Navi being too talkative to the point of it being a meme for 20 odd years.

Anyone in Belgium got a few propranolol I can have plz thank

I'll never forget getting name-checked in a Giant Bomb video.

YouTube served me a Hinge ad and I spent more time than I care to admit thinking it was a new app pronounced "HING-ga".

Anyone conquered fear of flying? How'd you do it?

Thinking of Ollie. Gone eight years now.

It's snowing in Belgium. In mid-February. Bonkers!

Finally got to Wake Up, Dead Man. Thoughts from 10 minutes in: camera work and lighting are phenomenal, superb tone, strong characterisation.

A force unseen calls out from the depths. It beckons...

Watching partner play FF7 Remake and it's fully lost the plot - the pacing has been turned up to infinity. Boss fight, boss fight, boss fight, long driving sequence, driving boss fight. It's just too much.

People dunking on MGS4 but I'm confident in my passions. That game's amazing.

Weight loss is weird what do you mean you'll leave the fat in my belly but make my shoulders skinny what's wrong with you.

Ooh! Frankfurt Radio Symphony is live, performing Scriabin's Poem of Ecstasy. EXCITE.

Streamin with these goobers

Hello! In 9 minutes or so I'll be joining the folks at @dotmeow.org for some fun-loving chat. Come join <3

This company is so uniquely toxic and awful.

Baby Orin for the soul ✨

I feel cute so I'm subjecting you to it.

I'll be hanging out on this cool stream tomorrow so take a peek, would you?

Pretty soon we'll be vibing everything. Vibe mopping. Vibe plumbing. Vibe electrical repair.

Today's music: Gershwin's forever-perfect Rhapsody in Blue, which premiered on this day in 1924.

I am online enough to know people are mumbling about Mewgenics but not online enough to know why.

We need unions right fucking now, this shit has got to stop. If I read one more story about a studio laying everyone off right after launch when they don't hit peak Fortnight numbers I'm going to lose it.

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

I wish you a very I hope Pam Bondi is miserable

So that's about 20 kg (44 lbs) shed.

This can be read as the Pentagon refusing to deconflict airspace, so the FAA arguably is doing the right thing, though others who are more expert on this should weigh in. cc @faineg.bsky.social

This is good right. Perfectly normal. I'm sure it's nothing. Just the government shutting down airspace in Texas.

I did it again - I reposted something sour to your timeline. Deleted it, because you see enough already. Some days it's harder to contain the hurt and anger than other.
