Went to a hockey game last night and just watching that and thinking about how much I love hockey for a couple hours was very nice.

pop culture is not overflowing with thoughtful/varied portrayals of masculinity but there is a lot of good stuff and you don’t have to look very hard. AEW wrestlers. Alan Ritchson. Bad Bunny, Sterling K Brown. Rob McElhenney’s entire oeuvre. Every character in the yakuza/like a dragon games

Nightdive uses real people to help remaster and preserve classic games with its KEX engine, often collaborating with the original game creators to ensure the final product remains faithful to the original. An AI upscale/port with 0 thought put into it is not "preservation".

We’re having a good day.

Okay after years of encouragement a friend of mine is finally playing Disco Elysium and I’m very excited.

Larkin should have been the captain

I love hockey

Michelle Kwan introducing team USA is so sick. She’s a million times cooler than George St Pierre and has never tapped out strikes.

The measles outbreak in Texas is reminding me of the public letter Roald Dahl wrote about losing his daughter to measles in 1962, just before the vaccine was publicly available.

Hey just want to put out there that there are like seven thousand better reasons to criticize RFK so please stop using “he used to do heroin” as one. Let’s not further stigmatize populations that are going to be hit hard by his appointment.

Finally rolled credits on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. A truly great time and a tremendous Indy story.

There is always a 12 step old timer or two in the meeting that loves to shame and harass people about there medications while ignoring medical evidence, the traditions of 12 step fellowships, and people’s outside needs. Now that’s who is running HHS and it’s terrifying.

‘First day of my life’ is cool, but ‘Pull my hair’ is the real Bright Eyes love song.

Me in 2010

Wow PUP still really good band.

T’s and P’s for everyone working in the service industry tonight. And if you’re going out tonight please be patient and tip your server well.

I bet the Red Sox season ticket guy, who for some reason thinks I have it like that, is having a good day today.

Sheesh this Canada team.

Big day for people driving on the highway without clearing the snow off their roof.

Very cool to show up to the test center for my social work license exam and have no one be there. There is about 8 of us here for various tests that have been waiting for over an hour.

Will Mecha Beatrix be the motivation I need to finish Dawntrail? Yes, absolutely yes.

Man it’s so cool to see Kenny Omega on weekly television.

Man it’s so cool to watch Will Ospreay on weekly television.

Oh my god Rilo Kiley is playing shows holy shit!!!!!

Lot of bad stuff going on, but a good thing that happened is I got a friend to play Inscryption who has no prior knowledge of the game, and every morning I wake up to a “wtf?!” text.

I can’t imagine writing any piece of social work research without using at least one word on this list.

Lost a best friend 6 years ago. It still sucks every single day. #Timlandersforever

Was encouraged this week to use less of my time doomscrolling and more of it working on research. Luckily I’ve been tasked with writing a bunch of op eds on relevant issues relating to SUD this weekend and honestly it has really helped.

I hate that a Limp Bizkit song being the opening credits for the Devil May Cry show makes me more likely to watch it.

The Galactic Starcruiser becoming offices really seems like a fitting end given the current state of Disney. It seems like just a little bit of extra love, money, and attention could have made it something special.

Excellent stuff from this team and I’m happy to support what they do next.

I constantly get ads from Ireland when I’m listening to podcasts and I can only imagine it is because my daughters name is Maeve and they are unaware we chose the incorrect spelling.

Game studio announcements be like, “We laid off all your favourite devs! But don’t worry, all the people actually responsible for the horrible decision-making that led to this massive failure are staying on :) and they will still be driving their new Porsches :) all is well!!!!!”

Oh no I checked in on this confirmation hearing which was a bad decision.

This was a strategy. They were gonna make AI so good and so expensive to compete with (while prohibiting the sale of decent AI chips), that China would never catch up. But whoops, AI isn't that good, and it's exponentially cheaper to make it decent at stuff people actually use it for.

There is an incredible converted mill space for local shops in my city called Mill No. 5 that is closing this weekend. It’s a real hit to the community and a reminder that supporting local business is more important now than ever.

A really excellent piece that I encourage everyone to read.

I now understand why everyone hated the Patriots.
