I really hate this trend of censoring words about death and violence because this makes it sound like Luigi confessed to something way funnier
Was going to text a pic of my view tonight to a friend and reference a Heinlein book, but my brain kind of blanked. So I nearly sent this with the caption “The Moon is a dumb bitch”
Demand IS high, but it’s not exponential. Games are getting cancelled because they won’t generate billions of dollars. The profit floor required by PE is now too high; that doesn’t mean there’s no profit. As to the rest of it:
We have mandatory Gemini summaries of our daily standups and AI is such a narc (feat. @vernavenisa.bsky.social)
I’M SO GLAD YOU ASKED we saw The Last Five Years with Rachel Zegler and Ben Platt!! I’m obsessed with Jason Robert Brown, amazing writer and the most divorced man who ever lived
I love this. I’m all for the normalization of ethically-produced women
A friend just saw this in the wild and you know what? I stand by it

It turns out that taking a week off work to go to Lapland with three of my favorite people and stay in an igloo resort may be fixing me
Suddenly remembered Spaghetti To Go, this drive-thru pasta restaurant near where I lived in second or third grade. Their whole deal was that you could buy like, a gallon of spaghetti in meat sauce Or fettuccine alfredo for your family and it would come in a big plastic bucket with a handle.
This is a Viking. The photo doesn't do it justice scale-wise. It's a battered, deep-fried meatball the size of a softball. It comes on a stick. You eat it with mustard. Last I heard only two members of The Sons Of Norway have the recipe and you can only get it from their booth at the fair.
Logging on for six to eight hours of video meetings every weekday
My subconscious is out here inventing new forms of Economic Anxiety
This is absolutely not what he said? I think you need to check your sources. (Also, his definition of empathy here is incorrect.)
Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement at 2?
This Doctor-TJ-Eckleburg-ass encouragement of my mid-life crisis must end
