I was excited to hear there was a book club at work, so I joined. Then I got my first book club email today. This month they're reading Mel Robbins. So, yeah. I was in a book club once.

A friend passed away this week (RIP Tom 💔), and it didn't take the rumor mill long to cook up some causes for death like murder and suicide. All unsubstantiated as of now. But that didn't stop Google AI from picking it up & running with it--which of course got back to and greatly upset his family.

13/10, no notes.

First thing I aim to do in any No Mans Sky run is change my character to a Gek. Something about playing a short, squat alien that communicates primary through farts--feels like playing the extraterrestrial version of Frank Reynolds.

Started my 5th or 6th run through No Mans Sky on the Switch 2. Really impressed with how well it runs on it.

About to catch the 1990 TMNT film in the theaters for the first time. Shell yeah, I'm hype!! 🐢🐢🐢🐢

It's no secret I loved the first Grounded. It's my favorite survival game and one of my outright favorites of all time. So, I'm absolutely dead center of the target demo here, but... I fucking love Grounded 2 so far y'all.

t's amazing how this is from more than 20 years ago but very well could have been from today.

I just had a conversation over the weekend about how the first Black Sabbath album is still one of the best rock albums of all time. Rest peacefully Ozzy.

An incomparable legend.

This rules.

Tell me your astrological sign, and I still won't know a damn thing about you. If you tell me your favorite Ninja Turtle however, I'll know who's cool but rude vs. a party dude.

'Meredith,' some guys ask, 'why won't you shove AI into Signal?' Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❤️

My biggest takeaway from hitting a sold out show with a friend who had fancy VIP tickets tonight? They can charge more for a VIP. They can further monetize that VIP with upsells like seat & table areas. But they haven't yet found a way to cash in on not sitting beside someone farting every 3m.

Three books I've gifted three times or more to friends: The Eye of The World by Robert Jordan The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman #booksky

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

This is Kendrick vs drake except they’re all drake.

holy shit it's happening

Jfc I can only eat so much popcorn you guys 🍿

The enemy of my enemy is still my enemy but I still like seeing them fight

Cool the guy who ruined my favorite website is fighting with the guy who ruined my favorite uncle

Like many of you, I love Dungeon Crawler Carl, but somehow--some way--I love Matt Dinniman even more. What an absolute class act. #booksky #dungeoncrawlercarl

UPDATE: I actually did get an email from WM support giving me the opp to grab a #Switch2 due to the issues in this thread. If you had your WM preorder cancelled, contact support asap (18009666546,) ask for a Supervisor (be kind, the regular folks just ain't trained for this) and explain the sitch.

As a fraud analyst, let me give a little inside baseball and heads up if you preordered the #Switch2 online from Walmart. Fraudulent charges from Walmartdotcom have been trending on an uptick lately. Last year there was an influx of this from Tiktok of all places. This year? It's WM. 🧵

Walmart appears to be cancelling tons of Switch 2 pre-orders so keep an eye out if you need to approve a credit card/debit card charge www.resetera.com/threads/12...

Despite spending an hr on the phone with my CC, talking to a Supe, all that--they again declined the charge for my Switch 2 when it ran and my pre-order canceled. Angry as hell.

I knew if I put down the Oblivion Remaster to go ahead and play Expedition 33, I'd likely never make it back. Tried firing up Oblivion tonight, and--yeah. I wasn't wrong. (But I still have no regrets.)

He'd never do it but Ken would probably be the best president you could dream up. You want rank meritocracy based on test scores, then here you go. The Debate Me guys sure would shut the fuck up right quick.

I never cared much about the ancestry dot coms or what have you, but today I learned there's some folks out there with the last name "Clithero," and I'd probably pay money to see that coat of arms.

LOOK AT THIS INSANE STATUE! @houseofgog.bsky.social has done it again! IM SOOOO happy to present to you XALBAGA, The cat god! He loves cats like a psycho, just like meeeee! Preorders go on sale next week! I'm blown away!!!

Grabbed a hardcover copy of Abercrombie's latest "The Devils," and it's gorgeous. The design under the dust jacket, the deckled edges, the artwork inside--I'm in love before I even begin reading. #booksky

This season of #Survivor has had its ups and downs, but it'll be awhile before something tops how funny this was. Reminds me of when Snoop Dogg was on Wheel of Fortune and guessed "Toilet Atlas."

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 doesn't just live up to the hype--it manages to exceed it. A reminder for all who have forgotten that video games are art and an unparalleled storytelling medium at their best.

It's a tiny detail granted, but Marvel choosing to spoil a bit from the Thunderbolts movie themselves immediately after release weekend kind of sucks.

I've been wearing out Audiobooks these last few years. What are your recs? Fantasy titles go to the top of the list. 🙂 #BookSky

I had never seen this before and it delights me

Thunderbolts was great. One of the better post-Endgame MCU films for sure.

Art imitates life.

Hey! @int0x80.com and I are featured on our friend Prowess the Testament's record on the song "Love and Justice!" I am super stoked to be a part of this project, please check it out for Bandcamp Friday! prowessthetestament.bandcamp.com/album/legend...

I used to work in a warehouse where this FedEx delivery driver would try and think up new ways to wish you great day every day. One afternoon in parting, he paused, thought a minute, then said "I hope you have a TRIUMPHANT day." I've never forgotten that.

WISH THIS MAN A HAPPY BIRTHDAY (and then check out his Bandcamp and grab yourself a gift,) I'LL WAIT
