Hyperlinks are a liberal psy-op. I’ll only click regular links.
I used to enjoy the old Joystiq site. Followed them to Engadget. Hell, I used the Joystiq url redirect bookmark until it stopped working. Might as well just delete the bookmark now, no sense it watching it slide further into irrelevancy.
That’s what she said.

Now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time. I remember watching it as a teenager in the 90s and having no freaking clue what was going on.
You ever try emptying your clip at an entire Ikea?
No… but you probably just aroused a few dozen ammosexuals.
I hate that people in charge were never able to properly communicate this subtle difference.
It was communicated just fine. I got that info. You got that info. It was out there. But the signal to noise ratio was unreal. People seem to prefer soundbites and false dichotomies over accurate, nuanced information. Sprinkle in a metric shitton of wedge issue misinformation delivered via sledgehammer and you get what we got:
VACCINE BAD!
VACCINE GOOD!
GRANDPA HAVE VACCINE BUT STILL DIE!
VACCINE STILL GOOD!
I HAVE VACCINE BUT STILL GET SICK AND BOSS MAKE ME STAY HOME AND NO GET MONEY! VACCINE BAD!
VACCINE… BAD?
DOCTOR LIED! SCIENCE BAD!
Well actually…
YOU STUPID, VACCINE BAD!
VACCINE BAD!
COVID OVER, NO NEED VACCINE!
HOORAY!

The whole situation is thoroughly fucked up, but hey, as long as people are making money amirite? 😑
Getting a heat pump has been on my want-to-do list for years. But even though my furnace is aging, it still works so it’s been hard to justify while there were other issues going on. Accelerating adoption is only going to make the process easier when the time comes.
Same, except I did watch the last episode. Agreed on Jet (perfection), and Julia/Vicious (what the everloving fuck). Spike and Faye were fine. Even with the missteps, I was still willing to see where they were taking it, if given time for a few course corrections. But they hit that cancel button pretty much immediately.
My thought process went a little something like:
Holy shit that’s a sweet photo, is it shopped? AI?
Omg those dresses are gonna be covered in dog hair.
Why would it be illegal to use a dog as a flower girl?
…OH! 🤦♂️
Is it weird, as a tail end gen x/elder millennial, to really hope Lehrer was right about this one?
I don’t like it, but watching the flush can save a whole lot of pain. Clogs suck.
Nipple tassels.
There’s a thousand mile expanse of woods and bullshit across the northern states where you could just walk through the forests into Canada.
