“Why don’t you host parties anymore?” Me (flashing images of sticky hand prints covering anything under 4 feet): “We reevaluated our offerings after the Covid shutdown.”

I’ve been rewatching Frisky Dingo and it dawned in me that billionaire Xander Crews (AKA “Awesome X”) was probably a role model for a young elon musk.

It seems like every instagram ad goes like this: “We’re {COMPANY} and check out our great thing, it’s the best!” The next day: “{COMPANY} is going out of business and everything is 70% off.”

This is a growing trend I’ve noticed in my store for a few years now. They’ve had enough of being screwed over by companies. They’re buying more physical media (blurays, dvds,& cds). They’re buying early (~2010) digital cameras. They’re buying more vintage stuff that was built to last. They’re tired

Yes

So… was this the thing he wrote about so he could leave the dinner immediately after his speech?

Visitor reports that the flipper is too weak to get the ball to the upper playfield in Black Knight 2K. Followed by me doing an unintentional, and lucky, flex of walking up to the machine and firing the ball up the ramp 5 times in a row, all while keeping my left hand in my pocket. “Looks OK to me.”

They won’t let us.

I love how old wood rail pinball games demand your respect immediately when you open the front panel.

I woke up laughing to the idea of a super villain that could control the temperature of water. At first it was just them throwing a cup of (suddenly hot) water in someone’s face. Then the idea got horrifying thinking about how they could boil a person.

Good thing I’m going to be learning how to repair electro-mechanical pinball games next month. I’ll be living large with my post-apocalyptic pinball parlor.

Today someone tried to use this card to charge $600 at Jersey Mikes. @eff.org has there been any word about USPS being breached?

if we actually get a senior political figure excommunication then just a heads up that every single medievalist on here, we’re gonna lose our entire shit

Another reason why I won’t use self checkout. I’d already heard about a woman being arrested after footage was reviewed a year after using a self checkout at walmart because she didn’t notice that one item had a different beep because it didn’t scan. She just put in her bag and continued scanning.

Do not taunt Super Happy Fun Baal.

Achievement unlocked: I have used every “Out of Order” sign we have at the PPM. If anything else goes wrong, I’ll need to make photocopies.

Visitor: How much to play these games? Me: $1 V: Then why does it say 25¢?

I logged on here, saw that I had 30+ alerts, and immediately thought “oh no”.

I love the old buddy on the left with an expression of “I’ve still got it!”

The IRENE system at the Library of Congress can be used to create a digital file of a record using optical imaging, without ever coming into physical contact with the item. It was recently used to scan a 94-year-old recording of an Amelia Earhart speech. Read more: blogs.loc.gov/loc/2026/04/...

Dear House and Senate Democrats, Apparently there are no rules of law or decorum anymore, neither are there any consequences or punishments . Feel free to all grab a club, barge into the oval office, and start swinging. You will be remembered as heros.

The wonderful donor stipulated that the game had to be in the free area for everybody to enjoy, and we’re more than happy to do it. This is going to be fun.

Our prez is such a turd that I am now immune to insults about America. In fact, nobody is going hard enough. It's like I'm in a rap battle and when the other guy sings a verse of "yer momma so dumb..." I'm stepping right in with, "yo, bro, you gotta speed up! She dumber than that!"

Ooooh, yes daddy?

We used to have 3 AC/DC cds in the jukebox. Now we just have one.

I have no insider knowledge, but I think I figured it out and am excited. It is *extremely* rare that the PPM gets a donation of a brand new game, especially a premium edition.

My first instinct would be to say “Ooh, that’s a nice frame” and return the photo to the trash.

Well that was a pretty decent earthquake. earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/...

I wonder which corporation will fail the hardest with their April Fools’ Day “Joke” today?

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! This is the day that trans people disable their cloaking devices for 24 full hours! Good to see you, gang

For our watch-along group, I’ve been having fun adding little things to the subtitles to see if anyone notices. My favorite so far was adding *BONK* to scenes in Excalibur.

Somewhere in my collection is a circa 1900’s joke book (no publishing info at all). It’s ~3” thick and the chapters are just different nationalities.

I’m not worried about the economy. I have my savings. #fallout

If you have a USPS PO Box & you have a credit card on file, check your card usage. They might have been hacked. I use the Privacy app to generate virtual cards so my actual debit card is safe. I just got an alert that my “USPS” card was just closed because of attempted charges at “Pizza Hut Ucom Ta”

Our Art Director and homie forever @travisknight.bsky.social sure did us proud with the official poster art for our 13th edition of CFF. Feast yer eyes and REMEMBER: every time you support a indie, human, artist or creator an AI bro loses their wings

Sometimes I add something just for daddy.

To the filmmaker who submitted a completely AI generated short film and claimed it was narrated by a legendary actor and even included said actor in their credits: A. THAT’S ICKY DON’T DO THAT B. We’re going to use your submission fee to buy a piece of real art from an independent human artist.

This is how I feel about the PPM. We provide an oasis from the outside world for at least a few hours.

Again, always mentally replace “disrupt” with “fuck up” to reveal their true goals.

Always remember to check subject lines during testing.

I know, I know, it’s serious.

@ranchogordo.bsky.social NEW BEAN ART AND GRAND OPENING MARCH 27th ‼️ NAPA CA

A dude ran out the back door of the store stuffing things in his jacket pockets. The dude apparently forgot that we had him check his absolutely stuffed backpack. It was turned over to the police, so now I’m waiting for him to come back looking for it.

Had a video appointment with my shrink today and they said “[Months Ago] we discussed anxiety triggers and you said ‘world events’. Is that still an issue?” I just wordlessly stared at them until they said “right, dumb question.”

Sorry I haven’t been posting; my life got better.
