I'm that PowerPoint guy. And I've been using the internet for silly things since before it was used for useful things.

Very happy for Flow last night at the Oscars. Not only winning Best Animated Feature, but also Best International Feature Film for Latvia!

Scenes from a bungled mugging...

An event that screams Trump is a Traitor to the United States and a Russian Puppet. He's told the agency that investigates and reports on cyberthreats to ignore anything related to Russia as a threat to the US.

I feel bad for the loveable Cookie Monster being sullied by this use of him to point out Musk's felonious activities.

Trump's New Rivieria ad...

An American embarrassment.

Not only are they not making America "great" but they're making all of us less safe. Trump and Musk are creating thousands of potentials. www.cnn.com/2025/02/28/p...

Got email from MSFT today saying Skype was being shut down. They're going to try to replace it with the poorly designed Teams application. They had to shut Skype down because it was a better app and would prevent the migration. Dumb.

Just learned that the Science Fiction Book Club closed down at the beginning of this month. Many fond memories of budget minded hardbacks that transported my young self to other worlds, times, and even dimensions. Certainly fundamental in molding my imagination and creative impulses.

I put this together a few years ago...

I think Love Hurts is getting bad reviews because it sounds like a romantic comedy. It's not a romantic comedy. It's like a 70's kung-fu flick with a bit of the Coen Brothers flavoring. Stupid people often make this kind of mistake in picking movies. I enjoyed it. Would watch again.

Finally, a way for foreign oligarchs without all that passing tests to prove they've learned about how our governement works or what the founding fathers wanted by way of a nation. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Today's Bezosfield Photoshop warm-up inspired by this: www.cnn.com/2025/02/26/m...

Very sad. Way too young. abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/...

When the dumb orange fucker pulls out all the stops and just becomes the evil orange fucker. All the protection did was provide guidance for big ships to slow down when passing through the whale habitat. Protections for rare whales off Florida pulled by Trump phys.org/news/2025-02...

Word of the day: Enshitification en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enshitt... Thanks @billwormstedt.bsky.social

Bluesky. Because you want a social network, not a stalker network.

BOOM! Wow, really looking forward to this! youtu.be/AE4wxt70aUM?...

Americans could learn a lot from this Canadian. www.tiktok.com/@helpinghors...

Bannon never left the Trump pile of shit, but now he's really snuggling down into the brown.

Measles outbreak in Texas, and neighboring parts of New Mexico. More dead from the flu than in the last six flu seasons. Congratulations anti-vaxers. Hope this is concentrated in the red caps.

Trump and cronies are going full-on traitors to the United States of America. open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

Reassuring, except for the unknown part. It does sound like an AI hallucination.

Pence. Clarity. No wonder Trump tried to kill him.

Lies are the MAGA heads primary weapon.

And now I want a whole album of St. Vincent, Arcade Fire, David Byrne, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band doing David Bowie covers. #SNL50HOMECOMING

Yeah, he used to be just a cute and cuddly.

OK my nerds, what's "wrong" with this toy Red Hulk?

So dreamy and lovely. And a treat for Twin Peaks fans. www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGUb... Also, if you want scenes from TP with your Chromatics, go here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNvw... #MMMMOB

Congratulations America! You have given the keys to a madman. Well guess what? We the People will resist the madness! #Resist

Good advice ⬇️

When an ignorant poser is more focused on stunts than understanding the actual situation. And yeah, even the MAGA farmers look like they're catching on to the fact that they screwed themselves backing the orange clown. Farmers silent as Trump wastes water edition.pagesuite.com/popovers/dyn...

Goofing around before dinner in SF with friends.

When smart people deal with dumb people.

The AMA has a YouTube channel where they're distributing the news that Trump has outlawed. Like and subscribe. www.youtube.com/user/AmerMed...
