Re-reading this baby right now for.........reasons.......😉

How I deal with movie recommendations now:

You have to watch this movie, it's so good!

"Cool, I've save it for later."

You have to watch this movie, it's so insane I thought I was going to lose my fucking mind!"

"I will watch this immediately."

Lmao, in that alternate universe, I would love to be a fly on the wall when one of the writers suggests the "Star Child" as part of the end game in ME 3.

I actually rewatched it last year myself and it kinda made me wonder what the Mass Effect games might have become if Bioware just paid Straczynski to write it instead.

Me: "Elon please..."

Elon: [starts beatboxing into a bread stick]

I had a really weird dream where me, my fiance, and my friends were all eating at a table in a restaurant with Elon. I was trying to convince him to read Neuromancer to understand why people were afraid of what he was doing, and his reaction was to do the worst improv rapping I've ever seen.

Can't wait to see the version where Blofeld is just a misunderstood technocrat trying to bring order to the world, while Bond is depicted as an even bigger misogynist, drunkard, and overall bigger villain than the antagonist himself.

Dumb nerds: "Uh...Blofeld was right actually lmao!"

Me hearing an Idiocracy reference in 2024: "Wow! Definitely on point!"

Me hearing an Idiocracy reference in 2025: "Please stop..."

YES!

My life prior to cable and internet

Biden was very deliberately positioning himself to be a modern Eisenhower giving a "military-industrial complex" speech, right down to assuming the identity of "guy very solemnly warning about the thing he probably should have been doing something to prevent this whole time"

THEY'RE POSTING THE HOTDOGS THEY'RE POSTING THE CATFISH!

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

Considering the "substantive discourse" happening right now, this was probably a bad time to be bed ridden with an ankle injury with only my phone and TV for company.

I hate the internet during an election year.

Me: writing a book taking place in Austin during 2006
