Started watching 'Marshalls' and what the ever-loving-male-army-man-fantasy bullshit is this?

2 episodes in and I'm done.

#TV

Watching Watson, which is a fine show. Knowing the Croft's are one man doing two roles, I just keep focusing on that now. Looking at every shot and how they frame him in each scene.

What an interesting choice in casting.

Hey #booksky! An aunt wants to start a book club where we exchange books, but she reeeeeally loves mysteries / thrillers only. If you’ve got any good recs, please send my way!

wife had a friend thing in Fort Collins (about an hour from the hosue) yesterday. Our favorite pizza place is up there. We invited a few neighbors to let us know what they'd like and she picked it all up.

Had an old school pizza party at our place! pizzas, parm twists, drinks!
Was an awesome Sunday

The shitty Sonos app

The shitty TPlink Deco app

Why is it so hard to have software that works. My network management app, thinks (and has for months) that nothing is connected). My Sonos app doesn't show my office speaker despite it playing music.

What has happened to software?

Just a random sim card that was in with an amazon package….

Pretty rich hearing Israel talk about stopping genocidal terrorist organizations.

Guess it takes one to know one.

EFF is Leaving X After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue.

Good!

The more nonprofits and hell, for profits that leave the nazi bar, the better.

Twitter needs to fade into the dusts of time with Gowalla, Foursquare, and others Sadly with fewer fond memories, but it needs to go.

“You’re alienating half of your audience by being political”

Motherfucker, my “audience” is people who aren’t pieces of shit, who care about others. That’s who I make stuff for.

There is no “other half”.

All of Us Should Be Able To Agree With This…..

That's for sure. He is definitely not American citizens first.

RIght?! Like they literally added no additional benefits while doubling the price. I like #Kobo but fuck that.

Just shared the cover for 'Welcome, Please Leave' over on my Patreon.

Patrons see the unblurred version :)

After reading this, I searched for my audiobooks. Found both book 1s on random channels that are just stolen IP. Because Google doesn't care.

So really the bonus points for purchases which netted me maybe 1 book a year were the main value.

There's no way I'll recoup my $20 though. So guess I'm done with that.

Raise the price without adding a single new benefit. WTF is wrong with you Kobo?

It's a shame Kobo is… well, dumb. They're raising the price of their VIP program to $20

It was marginally valuable at the old price. The free VIP books, I've never claimed one. The monthly discount. Never on books I want.

The fact that Claude's logo is STILL a butthole…..

That has to mean something. You know it's a butthole, and you don't change it. Is that about your users, your execs?

You don't leave your logo a butthole on purpose.

From microshifting to coffee badging: whatever happened to just doing your job? Buzzy workplace trends all point to the same thing: avoiding work while still collecting a paycheck

lol. Fuck Gene Marks.

There's a simple solution to this 'problem' treat workers like human beings.

“How much could really get done in 100 days?”

✔️Put $8.5 million in stolen wages back in the pockets of New Yorkers who earned it.

From the fast food workers to delivery drivers, we will always defend the hard-working people of New York City against fraudulent employers.

Even if Harry Potter was actually the most woke book ever made, it would still be funding the worst political attack on trans people in our lifetime.

Anyone arguing about whether the book is good or not is missing the fucking point.
