There is no such thing as ‘device hoarding’ - the technical improvements year over year in smartphones is minimal at best. There isn’t a ‘killer feature’ to drive adoption, so what is the upgrade?

Today's the day!! Gamecenter Arcade's open house starts at 5PM and runs through midnight!! The event is pay-if-you-like, there is NO mandatory fee for entry. From fighting games to rhythm games, cranes to gashapon, there's something for everyone!

Indigenous actor Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake.

Someone should be tracking the ad reuse this holiday season. I fear that the economic indicator of 'not spending on new ads' is being ignored. The Hershey's Kisses as bells is a multi-decade classic & doesn't count. Coke & their AI slop is not the future we want.

Happy #WrinkleWednesday

What a shitty pitch. Sand, dirt, hand-egg lines...

Voted for Pedro de La Vega's #LeaguesCup2025 golazo against #CruzAzul TBH it will be hard to beat Santiago Montiel's goal which I picked as a close second. If you want to vote for the #FIFA PUSKÁS AWARD here is the link. www.fifa.com/the-best-fif...

What idiots at US Soccer decided that asking for donations in 2025 was a good idea? You have a generous matching gift by an anonymous donor? REALLY You want me to donate as you prepare to host the FIFA World Cup 2026. Fucking idiots.

A really powerful personal essay by a colleague. medium.com/@bratt.avaso...

To brine or not to brine... Well, it's a matter of taste...and science. If you're getting a frozen mass-produced turkey...probably not. Most of them are brined/injected (to increase weight, of course, since you pay by the pound.) Before you consider brining, check your turkey.

What fucking idiot runs Google Search Console & why isn't there a way to report that 'this user who added themselves as an admin' is fraudulent? There's no way to prevent it, so WTF Google

We have some good neighbors.

Most of N. America should be able to see the Aurora Borealis, barring cloud cover like here in Pittsburgh. :-(

Some of you know we do this every year. This is our twelfth year raising money for kids. But not everyone knows what we do to make it possible. So I thought I'd share a little this year. Follow along on the thread, and learn what it's like INSIDE CASCADIAN GAMERS.

Pretty sure sounders are first team in this format to be eliminated on two pk losses while winning the other game in regulation.

No games should be in a smaller window than player arrival at a different match. Fucking idiots…

WTF…. Is Kraft ok?? Nope news.kraftheinzcompany.com/press-releas...

I have an idea. Donate $25 through my Extra Life page to help ensure kids get the medical care they need regardless of ability to pay, and I'll send you one of these patches. Help kids, get a patch, get a few chances to win an amazing prize, like a console. Cool, huh? DONATE: bit.ly/CGELGlenn25

New image for the cybersecurity deck I cover with clients...

When is the MSM going to ask Mike Johnson about the appropriation bills that the CR was supposed to allow time for? The CR doesn't do anything beyond kick the can a few weeks. Then ask what Congress thinks of appropriations being withheld by Exec branch. Why should D's trust anything voted on?

Need to have a Wikipedia editor update the Stefan Frei page - missing his @weareecs.bsky.social PoTY awards from '19 & '22

GIVE ME MY FUCKING TACO TRUCK!!

We extend our support past the boys on the pitch to our community. The current government shut-down has been felt throughout our community. We are joining together to help support and feed those in need by hosting a virtual food drive benefitting Food Lifeline. mtyc.co/vqtb5g

Crazy to think that Monday might be the last home game for Frei. #EBFG

All this talk of AI solving problems, but I keep seeing spam messages & scareware in my 365 & pain google email accounts.

MLS fucked up this playoff schedule in so many ways. LAFC going up against World Series game 5 has to rank up there.

I will pay more than $700 for an Apple Vision Pro. This offer is about as bunk for an Apple product ever.

At 20 Obed Vargas has won CCL and Leagues Cup, played in an All-Star game, earned a full Mexico cap, played in 2 u20 World Cups, and proved himself as one of the top midfielders in MLS. I got to write about the player he is, and the player he can still become. www.sounderatheart.com/2025/10/obed...

How empty will it be for a Monday night? I hate this schedule.
