I'm on the fence about seeing the new #Marvel Brave New World movie in a theater. #1 because prices are so high these days #2 because critic reviews are so low #3 because #2 probably means a quicker release to Disney+ But #4 some friends saw it and liked it, so, hmm

I didn't comprehend a single word from Kendrick Lamar, but I liked the choreography.

"Everybody loves bacon," said Kevin Bacon in what I thought was a Bradley Cooper ad but was in fact to promote Uber Eats. Like the Seal as seal ad, these #SuperBowl ads are beginning to exhibit a theme. I'm waiting for Danica Patrick to come out of retirement and promote, well, you know.

Seal singing as a seal. Welcome to 2025.

Were those walruses (walri?) in that #CoorsLight ad?

I watched that #JurassicParkRebirth trailer... and the entire time I thought to myself, "Where are the dinosaurs? Shouldn't they be the stars? Oh, look, Scarlett! She's in another wannabe blockbuster movie after her Avengers character died in Endgame! But, where are the dinosaurs?"

I put on a jacket with the intent to go outside and brush snow off the car. That was 30 minutes ago. I've yet to go out, but the jacket is still on.

Awakening with a sore throat and a nagging cough, I realized it was from atmospheric dryness and a general busy day and night yesterday. I decided to stay in, and mostly play a game. It was a relaxing and mindless day. I'm now picking up Chinese food and will watch a movie.

I wanted to like #RingsOfPower season 2 to the same degree as my enjoyment of season 1, but it took me weeks to start episode 4, and I'm not even halfway through and it's as boring as the show was in the first three episodes. I liked Galadriel's and Nori's arcs in s1, but they are boring now.

Go ahead and write about, or share pictures with, the guy in the White House. For me, that's an instant unfollow. I don't need that drama here. I'm here for other reasons.

I heard that reseller prices for concerts are different on #Tickpick, #Stubhub, and #AXS. So I see...

Enjoyable season 2 premiere episode of #Severance. It's refreshing to see Mark, Helly, Dylan, and Irv back together. I wish I could binge the whole series at once. I might do that this summer, buy a month of AppleTV and watch them together.

Listening to "Lost" by Linkin Park, they sound like the Imagine Dragons. I can't be alone in this thought.

I like buying reseller concert tickets through Tickpick, as prices are fee-free and usually less than other apps. But, I forget to act quickly. I was tracking Stereophonics tickets when they were $35 two weeks ago. I stalled. They're now $50. Sigh. Maybe they'll go down again.

The home page for the EPA New England office no longer mentions climate change. (Also, no more wind turbine pic.) Here are screen shots from Jan 14, 2025 (left) and today. Climate change still prominent on national EPA homepage and other parts of regional site.

I need to seriously invest in some fun party games. Board games, card games, trivia games. All I have is an old version of Scrabble.

Hello? Is this on? If you can see this sentence, can you please reply with your favorite color?

Oh, just blocking trolls following me here.

I'm getting around to watching the second season of Rings of Power on Amazon Prime Video.... and, while I don't mind the idea of commercials, I don't like them because they have zero impact on my purchasing power. So, I'm thinking of paying $3/month to get rid of them.

I saw the Foo Fighters in concert a few years ago, but don't keep tabs on their new music unless it's on the radio or a playlist. Listening to their 2023 album "But Here We Are" and hello this is awesome rock.

I do NOT want to read about 47 on here, so I'm either unfollowing or not following anyone who frequently writes about him. I have digital news subscriptions and Reddit for that guy.

BTW, January 20, 2025 will be the fourth time in history when a presidential inauguration coincides with Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. Earlier dates were for Obama in 2013 and 2009, and Clinton 2 in 1997.

U.S. flags will mourn Jimmy Carter for 30 days, and fly at half-mast until January 28, 2025, per federal law at "all federal buildings, grounds, and naval vessels" across the country and its territories. This includes 47's inauguration.

RIP, Jimmy Carter, 39th President of the United States. Peacemaker, patriot, peanut farmer, Carter redefined who a former President can be. Navy officer, engineer, state senator, governor, POTUS, author, professor, humanitarian, Nobel laureate. He was America’s Cincinnatus: Honest, decent, humble. 🇺🇸

I was today years old when ChatGPT could not understand my query despite how many times I asked it, so I asked Google Gemini and she immediately got to work. Easy peasy.

Seems like every time I try to log into Bluesky, my Bitwarden-saved password doesn't work. I then reset the password via an emailed code and it works fine... until it doesn't. Weird.
