going into 2025 with this energy

Replaying @ustwogames.bsky.social Monument Valley 1 (and, eventually, 2) before playing 3, and noticing how easy it is to please me. The Totem pops out somewhere unexpected and I pump my fist in the air while the cutscene plays.

In the car getting emotional to Daft Punk. As one does.

My entire adult life, I spend Christmas Eve and Christmas morning feverishly scribbling in heartfelt Christmas cards. Worried I'd forget someone, or write too-similar a message to two people. This year, they were in the mail last week. And now? Relief. Merry Christmas, all!

The Yankee Candle index is rising again

“Is it okay for a social media platform to be an echo chamber” back in the day we had websites and websites were generally focused on a single topic and if you were into that topic you would visit that website and if you weren’t into that topic you just didn’t go on that website and it was fine

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

Really loved seeing my feelings on this put so clearly: "We need to hack to find the design. We need to make a giant mess of code to make an actual plan. Making a giant mess then figuring out how to pick up the pieces might be the most efficient form of design out there."

Can I just say, making fun of New Jersey was only ever a thing because the New Yorkers who wrote TV shows in the 90s only knew about three states. New Jersey is great.

ProTip: If your using an iPhone, holding the power and volume up buttons for 2 seconds will deactivate face ID and makes it so you need to put your passcode back in to unlock the device. Its pretty easy to do that whilst pulling your phone out of a bag or pocket o7

I could not have been clearer about this

@reckless.bsky.social supported The Verge immediately. Ad-free Vergecast feed would be incredible, even if it cost more. Think of it as sponsoring the whole show (except the Lightning Round)

“can you believe the average american doesn’t even know what a tariff is??” Yes. Of course I can do that.

Was infuriated that the silly Fireplace app on my Apple TV was moving to a subscription model... ...until I saw that the *annual* subscription cost was... $2.99. Considering I keep this thing up on my TV for hours every winter, I'll allow it 🔥

me, now that i’m mad addicted to pokémon tcgp:

My last tweet was in May '24; before that, October '23. My last ig post was in April '22. I rarely post to mastodon, threads or here. I check so much social media every day, but I rarely post. I have no community of people I think would care to read what I write, and I'm not sure how to change that

The worst person in California right now is whoever it is whispering in Gavin Newsom's ear that he has a legitimate chance to be President.

president biden who pushed the button two minutes early sir

gonna tell my kids this was run the jewels

people love to ask some shit like "would you press a button that gives you $1 million but it kills one random person" like buddy people push that button every day to get 2 day shipping you think they wouldn't do it for cash

life... finds a way

new yearning level unlocked: wrote a fucking sonnet the other day

When you’re getting indicted but your lawyer won’t stop beatboxing

For a lot of us, losing Twitter isn’t really about losing ties to the company itself. It’s losing 10+ years of real, asynchronous communities, professional development, the ability to get gigs and clients, the ability to promo/share your art on an extremely broad scale. The loss of that has impact.
