What a fantastic take on the Odyssey, plus getting to see it on 70mm film was *chef's kiss*

I'm a little bit worried for my guy Odysseus, none of the trailers have shown him getting Cappy and I'm not sure how he'll get through Odyssey without him

John Cat Food, a generational talent

the World Cup final will be between two teams that Cape Verde played even through 90 minutes

We used to spend hours at bookstore cafes and coffeeshops that all disappeared between 2008 and 2012, these were all Gen X hangouts that we got the last moments of Most of the regional malls went from being hangout spaces to either closing or pushing for a streamlined shopping experience

We found Ramona's toy cache last night and naturally, she spent the rest of the evening totally ignoring it before spreading it to the winds again while we slept

If you're a Denver local and itching for lettuce despite the outbreak I have two suggestions: the first is always the farmer's markets. Second, though, is Gotham Greens. Their facility is literally at my work. The lettuce and herbs are grown indoors on tables and is watered with fresh water.

I was always gonna boycott the Harry Potter TV series but I would urge anyone on the fence to stop engaging with the franchise as long as JKR is using her proceeds to fund her continued attacks on trans people and allies. Reheated nostalgia slop just isn’t worth it.

The number of apps that pushed me a notification for the France vs Spain world cup match over the course of a minute made me worry that there was some national emergency going on

The thing about JKR and telling folks not to buy Harry Potter shit is it isn't because we think it can take away her fortune and platform. She's so rich she would still be rich if she never sold another book It is because it is literally the smallest possible hurdle to clear to value trans lives

Even without the transphobia, Harry Potter is mid AF.

She's taking the hobbits to Isengard!

Railroading used to be so much weirder, and so much cooler.

Breaking: Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has died at the age of 71 after what his office called a “brief and sudden illness.”

Wife to the cat and me: If you're going to keep meowing at each other, can you please go and do it in the living room?

Amazing moment on my West Coast Express journey this afternoon, a lady looked up the answer to her kid's question on ChatGPT, and naturally, the answer wasn't very correct, and amazingly a WCE employee overheard it and was able to chime in with the right answer

blocking accounts that post ragebait, misinformation, and AI slop is still good hygiene and you should practice it! stop funking up the skyline dunking on internet sewage. Oregon Trail is an app now if you have a hankering for dysentery!

Thanks to Dan Olson, I watched Belle on a whim tonight and yeah, fucking amazing, cried a bunch

oh so it's like rocket league but with people

The thing about the Graham Platner story is that it’s not as if the man had every red flag imaginable leading up to this. How could we have known?

If Belgium wins this game, I'll get one of their trans coloured jerseys and wear it next time I cross the border

they just had a world cup yesterday. having all these world cups in a row cheapens the experience

Years ago I did a professional chili cookoff The organizer had a policy that the tasters could get around the small sample limit by buying a mug to fill with the chili they thought was the best and I ran out early due to this unfortunate policy...

On account of working over the weekend and lacking any projects that have approval for overtime at the moment, I'm going to have a four day weekend ahead of me and everything is going to be good again

this open corruption could’ve been an email

Put in a lot of work today and powered through my funk, which is awesome If only I had been able to do this at any point in the last week

This pipeline isn’t nation building. It’s nation burning.

I'm struggling pretty heavily, I've been having issues getting enough rest and recovery and these past few days have hit me harder and harder. I'm not at any risk, but I feel so exhausted and the idea of having to go back and work tomorrow feels dreadful

Ah yes, depression my old friend, we meet again 😔

Real FFXIV Endwalker Grapes energy here

So today I learned that a Supreme Court justice once was the highest paid player in the early NFL and lead the league in rushing yards twice (before he was a justice of course) and it just sorta feels like some lazy Star Wars "the heros have done everything" sort of plot writing going on IRL

Had the moment today where I realized that Detroit is a french word, which makes so much sense now, but I only figured it out because a french news article brought up "le détroit de Géorgie" and the realization cascaded from there

I know it's not going to happen, but I would be very very happy if the US lost to Bosnia and Herzegovina, little would make my summer better than Canada placing better in the World Cup than the US

I always knew that I'd find out if Canada won a game simply by the nature of living downtown, and yes, that hypothesis has been proven correct

Had so much pho for lunch and now I'm gonna start the afternoon with a nap, wake me up if Canada wins

I keep forgetting the rule that it's simply not worth arguing with bigots in the comments of youtube videos If someone wants to feel that their world is ending because the province used a indigenous word to name a bridge, then they can suffer for that

Heads up if you're at Red Rocks or know anyone there: storm inbound, with large hail possible within the next half hour. #COwx

Why is the cat meowing? June 24th 2026 Edition I hadn't left bed by 7 and she wanted me to go and hang out on the couch I was working at 3 and she wanted me to nap with her in bed Eve picked her up when she wanted to be picked up She wanted the AC pointed at her She wanted to bug the pigeons

Eeeeeesh

now that it looks like the USMNT is going to play Bosnia and Herzegovina time to sow internal discord within their team by pitting the players from Bosnia and the players from Herzegovina against each other (reads Wikipedia) I have actually decided not to do this

My biggest soccer issue is that I have yet to develop any sort of personal superstitions around the sport, I don't even remember what I was doing while watching Zidane's headbutt to avoid such a bad moment happening here, anywho, Go Canada!

I'm pretty stoked for this game, though I'm a bit sad that I'll still have a few hours of work once it's over 😭

There's a parallel between this current concept of AI and the use of coal as a power source Both are profoundly bad for the environment and if we don't actively ween our way off them now, the modern AI barons will be just as disasterous a hundred years down the road as coal barons are today

A summary of the various conversations I had around the Steam Machine yesterday: Fuck AI, Fuck Sam Altman, Fuck 2026 There's no way we can afford that Oh fuck, this is going to be a deal in less than a year if things keep going this way Fuck

Platonic polycule? How about you create a platonic polycule with your coworkers called a "union?" How about that?

I'm not sure there's ever been a more perfect day to get out on the water 🌊🌄

What a fantastic day to get out on the water 🥰

It's seal time at the ferry terminal which more than makes up for the hour wait for the next boat
