My kingdom for a social media platform that doesn't play the algorithm game. Bluesky is barely any better when it comes to that. Remember when social media was (1) social and (2) linear?

Look, she won me over. I supported her in 24 and would support again if she were the nom in 28 but… we really need fresh and new in the WH. Totally fresh. We already know who their candidate will be. And as gross as it sounds, we have to have a demographically savvy choice as our candidate in 2028.

Why is there a "Go Live" option on Bluesky now? And more importantly, why can't I get the little blue dot to GO AWAY? Ugh. I've said it before: UI improvements rarely actually improve anything.

You wouldn't believe the hoops I had to jump through to update the distortion control data firmware in a Nikon D5100 I acquired... Why the prev owner never did it is beyond me; so is why Nikon buried the .bin behind an installation pkg that won't run on modern macOS. Had to use Win 7 on VMware. 🤮

Have you checked your Bluesky page on BskyCheck? It's the biggest load of garbage shit. Just learned apparently I'm STRONGLY considered to be an automated bot. I got a bot score of 75; one of the reasons I'm scored high? Is because the word "bot" appears in my bio. Baha! Some idiot coder made this.

I wish retailers would let you choose your shipping carrier. I get that retailers usually have preferred carriers because of deals they cut, but if the retailer's preferred carrier sucks donkey ass (like FedEx Ground), then I should be allowed to pay the difference to use a better carrier.

You incorrectly state the cost of NFL Sunday Ticket is $240/year. That's only for the first year for new users. The actual price is $378/year.

The NFL spokesperson stated, "the NFL has for decades put our fans front and center in how we distribute our content."

HA! When has the NFL put anyone or anything "front and center" except profits and more money for the gross grubby greedy owners? It is to laugh.

If I get one more damn email today... I'm going to lose it. Why people been blowing up my email?! Jeeez!

Do you remember when everyone hated Microsoft? I'd say for decades. Now, here I sit (as an Apple user) saying: "I think Microsoft is pretty OK actually!". That could just be because I despise other companies more, though (Google, Adobe, Apple themselves, etc). Frankly, they all are "too big."

I'm not sure there's a company I hate more than Google / Alphabet. I mean, really. Yet – much like Apple and my complete disdain for the direction that feckless wonder Tim Cook has taken the once innovation-led gem, Google remains a necessary evil in my life.

That's all. Just a rant.

When I was in H.S. (1996-2000), everyone had a Tamagotchi hanging off their Jansports – everyone except me. I just never got into it. I spotted a Gen1 re-release the other week w/ a cool 90s vibe, so I picked it up. Grew a Tarakotchi and got to 9yrs old before 💀. Well... check that off my list. 🤣

How many times do I have to click “Don’t show me this” on tennis or racing before YouTube TV stops f’kin showing me that sh*t?!?!!!??! Jeeeebus!!!!!!! Monetization and engagement has ruined society.

Reason 87 of why I hate CVS: their paper labels. Once in a while there’s a RX label on my bottle that has kind of a slick coating to it. These peel off like a dream. Easy peasy. Most of the time, tho, it’s a matte paper label that is impossible to get off w/o heat or something. Why the diff?

What the literal fuck is happening at Strictly Come Dancing? Just a reminder: when DWTS did their major “refresh” the ratings were so bad it went “streaming only” for a few years. Tread carefully. Smh.

Bah! Go ahead, Sony! Shoot yourselves in the foot. Bout time the PlayStation die anyway. I mean, that’s what’s going to happen. Sales are going to tank at these price points. And if Microsoft and Nintendo follow suit, lemme get my popcorn to watch the console market total implosion.

Idk if it’s a showrunner problem or what but Sam is really starting to become unlikeable. 🤷🏼‍♂️ #GhostsUS

Honestly? I don’t care that orange bastard said what he said abt Mueller’s death… because I’m going to say the exact same thing when that rotted twat dies too. Maybe throw a celebration. Does that make me unchristian? Guess I’ll just have to pray about it. 🤣

It’s March 2026; does anyone else suffer a lack of Bluesky interest by their friends and family? While I really just use my Bsky as a means to vent, having 0 friends and family on here plus limited engagement w/ anyone besides bot traffic, kinda bums me out. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The thing I might miss most about smoking: flipping open a Zippo, lighting my cig, and snapping the lighter shut again. Now, I pretty much just use my 50-Zippo collection as “fidget toys.” 🤣

In the last 30 days, I've spent $115 on Chick-fil-A .... FOR MYSELF. No wonder I can't lose any weight. 🐄 🤣

I cannot explain why Jane Wickline makes me laugh so much, but she does. She always makes me smile. #SNL

According to Reddit, apparently I’m the only person who absolutely despises this new “Hunter” guy on #Matlock. Whatever happened to the good old days of “same character, new actor, no explanations” ??

Never one to give up cashback opportunities, I got the new-ish Walmart OnePay MasterCard. It's the first card of mine to not have a magstripe (just a fake navy stripe in its place). It's not like I use it, but it's weird. Like, very weird. How long until we drop plastic cards altogether, you think?

The Comeback Season 3 | Official Trailer | HBO Max YouTube video by HBO Max

You know what? I call bull on this being the "final season." I bet... 10 years from now.... we might just.... (I'm at least going to pray that we do!) In the mean time.... #TheComeback #ValerieCherish #LisaKudrow #HowsThat

P.S. - I HAVE to have that pop-art artwork of Valerie. I must. MUST!

Scary Movie | Official Trailer | Paramount Pictures UK YouTube video by Paramount Pictures UK

Biiiiiiiitch! Have you seen the new #ScaryMovie trailer? Normally, reboots (or super-distant sequels) suck. This trailer is giving me the same vibes and yuk-yuks the original did when I was a teenager (yeah, I'm old. eat it). I am HERE FOR IT!!!

I really wonder what the season would have been like had Rob R. been a faithful. Like... how would he have faired? Would he have still made it to the end? Would he have figured out the traitors? He would not have been murdered.

I know I'd have enjoyed it more, for sure. #TheTraitorsUS #Spoilers

Cliché: Looks fade; Rob Rausch will be an asshole forever.

Why should we give him a pass just because he's "hot?" Hotness is subjective & he ain't that "hot." Regardless, he DID play the best game (or these were the dumbest faithfuls).

He's still gross tho. #TheTraitors #SpoilerAlert #Spoilers

Well... finally finished #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUS – I say, "finished" but.... I really fast-forwarded most of the rest after the 5th place person was banished. There was really no point. Coming off of having watched UK and then Ireland into watching US... gosh, we really are the worst, aren't we?

On the one hand? I want to be compassionate about someone suffering in addiction. On the other hand? Shia LaBeouf can eat shit.

Its complex. But as someone in recovery 11 years, addictions aren’t excuses or even fair explanations sometimes. Some people are just pure garbage. Plain and simple.
