The Expanse. I love BSG and its gritty take on space opera. But the Expanse is so much more grounded and interesting character dynamics.

The sort of shenanigans unique to GSPF, that jet of fire is awesome! One of my regrets is never getting an RV and camping on site before I moved. It remains my favorite, and IMHO most underrated, dedicated pinball shows.

Literally every time this happens I DM a person I know to confirm who the fuck it is so I can add to my contacts. The idea of being in a group chat with just a bunch of random numbers is wild.

I love the main theme score for that movie my parents took us to see it in theaters!?!
It’s right up there with Something Wicked This Way Comes for very 80s WTF Disney movies.

A defining characteristic of our generation, watching movies on VHS, on repeat, that we probably had no business watching. For me it was probably Robocop or Aliens.

Those end credits are a banger, it’s half of why I rewatch it. My favorite thing about it is how the writing is as though this is the 4th movie in the series, that there is lore here you already know of course.

Is it ok to come to Austin and dress like it’s Portland? Asking for a friend.

This is a big reason I mostly play single player or co-op video games. That’s my safe chill time and I don’t need that agro-dude energy.

Also me after a week of meetings and dinners with my wonderful co-workers in DC.

Yeah, I always felt like they tried to hard to make things connect as it went on. Granted I wasn't really that into the bigger plot elements anyway. For shows like this I preferred monster of the week or plots that are either fully contained to a season or only spilled over with a cliff hanger.

I always forget that this is one of the best things that also happens on my birthday. Making a note, cherry pie, coffee and donuts next year.

Ok, that has me interested. I really enjoyed Outer Worlds, even with its jank it was a fun time.

There's always that one ingredient that gives me pause.

I have the involuntary impulse to sneeze when looking at every one of these photos.

The second shot was worse for me than the first for next day aches, I was wishing I had taken a day off or done it in a Friday. But very glad I did it. Next up I guess the pneumonia vaccine.

If you really need to keep scrolling, consider a nice rockhounding forum where everyone shows each other a cool rock they found.
The other stuff will still be there in a few hours and you’ll have seen some neat rocks

Don’t forget the obligatory ‘first name bunch of numbers’ user names.

I think you forgot naps.
But for me naps and weed are basically the same thing, so yeah that’s the list.

FB is the one I’m struggling with. It’s still the remaining place for few connections. It’s where my alumni association organizes. It’s my connection for Girl Scout cookies, which is a real problem. I understand why people with children can’t leave it. But at the end of the day I think I’m done.

As I wind down my other accounts, glad to see you made it over here. (I don't talk about similar stuff, but I've been following your coaching tips.)

I love the color scheme, and all the details. This is want I needed to see today.

Yeah, the really obvious ones I just block/report. But there are some that are on the edge, where it’s more that is weird they followed me.

To be fair, I realize as a society we have been through some shit since then. I wonder if that is also a factor. When I read it the first time I hadn’t spent over a year as basically a shut in.
