The negotiations only lasted, what, one day???

Ooooh, I’ve grumbled about this for decades. I hate going to a book store to browse sci-fi books and having to pick through the endless fantasy books to find the proper sci-fi books. Not to hate on fantasy genre, I read that as well. Just having to sort through it…

Yes, Jesus was well known for urging his followers to fight. /s

Is there an orange alert?

And another…

Just landed back in Austin, this is circling around the baggage claim.

Kinda like Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs. 🤔

It’s almost like he just got done playing Call of Duty and watching The Expendables and had a great idea.

What's Going on With Shipping? What's Going on With Shipping focuses on Maritime Industry Policy, and current events in the Maritime Sector, along with Maritime History. The channel features videos that examine the world's mercha...

Ah, yes, the strongly worded email from Chuck Schumer. That should do the trick. ☹️

Well… that’s a start, I guess. Let’s hope congress actually follows through.

Favorite movie I saw this year.

Honestly wasn’t expecting much, but I think Wake Up Dead Man turned out to be the best of the three Knives Out movies.

I see it as a sort of an allegory for AI. I’m not sure if that was the actual intent, however.

I like matcha, but I’m still not giving up my coffee.

So much emphasis on metrics in today’s world, yet so little understanding of statistics. 😕

Frostpunk is really neat. Always felt bad because I ended up picking up the game and DLC on GOG on sale for something like $10, then felt like I ripped off the devs after playing it. Dumb name, great game.

Between waging an ideological war on immigrants and gutting the federal agencies that inspect foods and medications, the Trump Administration is working really, really hard to make sure the stuff in your local Walgreen’s or Kroger (or wherever) is more expensive, less abundant, and much less safe.

I feel seen.

This is good.

Awesome. Loved the novella — who could turn walking into a grueling horror other than Stephen King? And Mark Hamill is in it? Yeah, looking forward to this.

Mostly a lurker, but I’m here.

Can’t believe BlueSky doesn’t have a save option 🙁.

I’m not the religious type, but was really hoping this pope would stick around for a while longer. Seems like a good dude.

Who benefits the most? Maybe the people of Ukraine.
