The multiplayer in Slay the Spire 2 is outstanding!!!! I liked slay the spire 1 but prefer multiplayer games and their implementation is amazing! Great job Metacrit team

I just remembered DAYLIGHT FUCKING SAVINGS TIME is this weekend. Booooo

I’ve been addicted to crosswords this week and I can see why my grandfather loved them so much. I didn’t have much of a connection with him, but I’m glad to have this tiny memory

These are the kind of worker-centric policies that will win democrats elections. Add a small tax increase for a few wealthy people to unburden 20 million from federal taxes A surcharge for millionaires? This plan would tax the rich, eliminate taxes for half of U.S. workforce - OregonLive.com

No traffic-related death is acceptable, however it's amazing to see our city's year over year improvement reducing deaths from 57 to 39 and making progress toward our Vision Zero goals #portland #pdx content.govdelivery.com/accounts/ORP...

To anyone who writes murder mysteries: something about twins being born during daylight savings time changeover. One born at 1:59 and the other born at 1:05 but the one born at 1:05 is actually born second

I am feeling so proud of myself this morning. I did the Apple News Sunday crossword with minimal internet searches all by myself!

I did personally download the Claude app this week 😂😅 gizmodo.com/claude-is-th...

I saw someone attempting to complete a knitting project while walking down the street and it’s one of the top 10 Portland things I’ve ever seen #pdx #pnw

For Pokémon’s 30th anniversary, I present to you my shrine to Snorunt - my favoritest boi!

This seems like a cool use of AI tools aws.plainenglish.io/ive-been-a-c...

I am annoyed by these ai "features" more than I like them personally. Here's how to turn them off in Google Apps www.zdnet.com/article/turn...

Do not allow these robotaxi services in more American cities — especially Tesla. They are not safer than human drivers. They cause more traffic and wear on our streets. They are mobile surveillance cameras. They don’t save consumers money. No advantages www.wired.com/story/govern...

Turkish Espresso Martini. Say that 5 times fast

Even in liberal-ass Portland one of our city councilors is wanting to be able to carry a weapon because she was yelled at by protestors. Wild. I understand these situations can be tense, but carrying weapons will only escalate tensions, not calm them. www.opb.org/article/2026...

Why do they zoom in to 300% on these poor athletes’ faces right after their performances? I would hate if the world could see every pore and sweat drop in my face after a skating performance

I was just thinking about how my friends and family members probably aren't regularly -- or at all -- interacting with the terminal on their computer and I do almost every day. It's wild how differently we interact with computers

This writer compared scrolling in an algorithmic feed to Plato’s allegory of the cave and I cannot get that out of my head. Wow! medium.com/@jonathacz99...

This is an amazing use of tech. Impaired driving causes many deaths per year and I’m all for keeping drivers and other road users safe apnews.com/article/fede...

Sometimes I get a dose of reality from my partner. I was talking about OpenClaw and he was like, never heard of it. I was like, it’s been my whole news feed for the past few weeks. Lol

I have a complaint to file against Cholula Hot Sauce. Every time I open the nice-feeling wooden lid, I somehow drop it on the ground and it's marble-like shape rolls far far away under a piece of furniture somehow. Could some industrial designer help solve this problem for me?

This is the most Canadian thing I’ve seen all day! I’m impressed

I want to see an Olympic ice dancing team with a butch lesbian doing the lifting and a twink in a dress being thrown around

This episode of Multiamory was truly mind expanding. They did a partnership with Feeld to do a study of how non-monogamous people practice relationships. Loved hearing about relationship chains and differences between younger and old people’s perspectives! www.multiamory.com/podcast/566

Portland’s queerness is part of what brought me here too! It’s so refreshing and comforting to see so many visibly queer people just going about their days www.wweek.com/culture/2026...

Happy birthday to me! Hope y’all have a great day on my birthday. Get out there and take some cool photos

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh gizmodo.com/the-last-per...

Kid Rock doing a wet fart of a “halftime show” is giving Straight Pride parade energy

Big pro-transit changes help everyone! We can make these changes in Portland too! gizmodo.com/turns-out-co...

The Olympics start Friday? I thought it was like 6 months away or something

I wish there was a Bluesky feature where I could view someone’s profile without viewing what they’ve reposted. I only want to see their original content or quote posts when I go to someone’s profile

How would it possibly be more efficient to rocket up computers into space than it would be to power a land data center with wind or solar?! This guy is such a fraudster gizmodo.com/elon-musk-is...

If you aren’t already on the solar train, this long video essay has some great statistics and talking points for you to understand why solar energy is so amazing

I’ve been playing Pokemon TCGP for a while now. Just crossed the 10k card mark

Not my bladder!!! gizmodo.com/a-bizarre-li...

A white-haired skinny man asks a Dorito-shaped for swimming advice at my gym pool and it was a great example of #positiveMasculinity 🧵🪡

I was listening to a podcast and they said Missouri was the buckle and the Bible Belt and my monkey brain was trying to defend Oklahoma for this tile. Realistically, both of them are full of bad religion hahaha

I saw these hand prints that look like a parent and child made them and had to take a photo! Check out my latest blog post if you missed it - mattfarahphotos.com/blog/2026/01...

Big tech has gone so far in the opposite direction of when Apple wouldn’t decrypt an iPhone in the San Bernardino shooting case. Absolutely wild to see this turn around in just a few years www.windowscentral.com/microsoft/wi...

You can get cool streetscape photos like this too. Check out my blog post about what type of camera I used here - mattfarahphotos.com/blog/2026/01...

I go mad with power at the grocery store when my boyfriend who can’t have lactose is out of town

Long shadows in the afternoon produce some cool photos. The camera I used is 10 years old to take these - mattfarahphotos.com/blog/2026/01...

Check out this fun building I took a picture of and read about why to buy a digicam in 2026 here - mattfarahphotos.com/blog/2026/01...

Y'all should definitely buy a digicam in 2026 to capture your memories. Check out my blog post about it here - mattfarahphotos.com/blog/2026/01...

I'm all for people choosing to end suffering and go out their own way, but letting AI into the process is absolutely unacceptable to me gizmodo.com/controversia...

Take me to the disco!

Y’all. There’s still two full weeks left in January. Is this month dragging for anyone else?

I see what they mean about your opinions softening as you age. For example, I no longer wish ruination on whoever decided that pop tab cans are the default over can opener cans

If Pam has 500 people working on redactions and there are 2 million documents, it would take 40 working days if everyone averaged 100 documents a day. Why do we only have 12,000 files?

Do y’all have that one coworker who messages you at 4pm on a Friday every Friday with a problem? Me neither 😅
