walmart.com had a #Switch2 restock today at 6pm. 45 minutes of a broken queue, then I gave up. Came back a few minutes later, page immediately came up and I got one in my cart. Successfully purchased, and it just got a tracking number. Guess I'm getting one after all.

Death Stranding 2 is one of the greatest video games ever made.

"To make her president would be to gamble with the lives of millions of people. She would get us into a World War III guaranteed because she is too grossly incompetent to do the job.” --DJT, 10/26/2024 starts bombing Iran, 6/21/2025

Peanut butter & pickle is the best snack sandwich. So much better than the classic PB&J.

My friendly feral #cat is now inside! Currently chilling in her own private bath and hopefully to the vet tomorrow.

The feral #cat that I have been feeding for the past ~9 months has turned friendly! Pets are wanted, headbutts given, and she even let me pick her up. Cautiously exploring the entrance of the house, taking baby steps.

Came here to say this, didn't need to. Hey #Splitgate team, perhaps have your founder be less of a gamer bro douchbag with a MAGA-wannabe hat the next time he talks about the game.

Here me out: Weird Al should cover "Pink Pony Club", where it's the Prancing Pony and the song is about Samwise.

variety.com/2025/tv/news... Good riddance. This man, just like many Fox News/OAN/etc. blowhards has done severe damage to journalism and democracy in this country. I'm glad he's gone, and I hope he stays that way. I hope NBC National News finds their voice again without his input.

I just want to say a hearty "fuck you" to literally the entire Internet for spoiling Doctor Who. Fuck you.

MI:8 is a good, fun movie with some interesting storylines. I say that as someone with mixed feelings about the series: I feel MI:2 is one of the worst movies I've ever seen. And the representation of tech is always questionable. But they missed out on laying one of the best Easter eggs ever...

Peter Thiel has long been one of the most evil and dangerous people on the planet. Everyone is distracted by the shows Musk, Vance, and Trump put on, but they're all puppets of Thiel. He's essentially a Bond villain.

Holy shit, just the opening of #Expidition33. I haven't even gotten to the actual game and I'm impressed.

#Switch2 pre-orders just went live on walmart.com a bit ago. And I didn't order one. I'm fairly certain I'm going to hold out on this one, my interest in the Switch has been nil for a while now and nothing about the SW2 looks to change that.

After giving a chance, I've decided that I like having #Gemini #AI as my "personal assistant" versus Google Assistant.

Nothing is going to knock this #PS5 over... The Total Mount shelf is decently nice, just a bit difficult to get the console screwed down.

Brunch at the local French bistro and then shopping at the local record store for #recordstoreday. What a great day with my beautiful @drdowns28.bsky.social.

Whomever thinks that asking someone in which state their social security number was issued is a valid method of authenticating them is a moron. I got my number when I was like 5. Which was a fuck ton of years ago, and we moved between two states around that time. I'm supposed to know?

Thank you @booker.senate.gov for speaking truth to power. Thank you for being a true leader. And in no small measure, thank you for surpassing the racist Strom Thurmond.

It's been, what, about 30 years since CFLs became common? So I guess I'm doing well by having broken my first one just now.

So... #Severance. No spoilers here, but was anyone else just a bit disappointed? I understand the need to end like that in order to make a third season, but it just didn't hit for me. Also, the influence of The Prisoner was even more striking in the finale.

Screen cap of my sweet #feral #cat, sleeping in her warm box for the last time this morning. Several other cats moved into the area and started creating a nuisance, including attacking her as she left the box this morning. I had to take it all down. 1/2

I take back anything negative I've ever said about Samsung phones. This thing is a beast. Beautiful screen, sickly fast processor, ... It's really a flag ship phone and I feel like I've been short changing myself on Pixel for the past few years.

Assassin's Creed #Shadows may be the first great AC game in an age. Amazon Luna was positively dying this evening, however.

Listening to some Zeppelin on Spotify and noticed that Stairway to Heaven (Remaster) has passed 1 billion plays. Nice.

For anyone who has been enjoying #Severance, I highly recommend The Prisoner (1967-1968). I see a lot of influences called out for #Severance, but The Prisoner always seems oddly missing.

Unsurprisingly, #Paradise ended well. Here's to a second series. "A security service team gets assigned to safeguard a former president" has got to be the most intentionally inaccurate summary of a TV show ever.

Yeah, #Paradise is a great show. Tough to watch at times, but sometimes true greatness is just that. As with much great science fiction, the allegory runs deep with this one. Should be an interesting ending.

Just watched Suits LA, and I'm flabbergasted by the critical reviews of this show. Excellent writing and great performances from the leads. It has the makings of a great show and I look forward to seeing where it goes. #SuitsLA #NBC

#CordCutting failure: I just subscribed to cable TV for the first time in a decade, because it's the better deal now. I mean, linear TV is dying in front of our eyes so I'm not sure this is surprising.
