    Tried to watch the Golden Axe cartoon. Not feeling it. Felt like it was trying really hard to be Vox Machina #TV #goldenaxe

    Took Wallace (white fluffy) to the vet yesterday. His second visit since joining us last November. No growling at the vet. Got X-rays and was generally manhandled without a fuss. Still snooty about treats so those were picked up to be brought home for Paco (mostly gray brindle). #dogs

Wonderful or whatever his stupid nickname is)

    With everything going on. I really hope folks put their ballots in dropboxes or vote in person. USPS (as much as I like our mail carrier) is not to be trusted right now. And that&#39;s only gonna get worse leading up to election day. Louis DeJoy can choke on a bag of dicks #USPOL

    Watching the Ed Sheeran drama, it&#39;s so sad and predictable that so many people fail the wealth test. Get money, become a greedy money obsessed asshole. The right thing was right there and he had the money and power to do it, and chose not to. I really hope fans take note of this and get refunds on their tickets. I hope his (now) solo tour is to not full arenas.

    LOL who could have predicted this? Oh wait. Lots of us did. You&#39;d think people who went through the beanie baby, dot com, and crypto/NFC bubbles would learn from even just one of those. But no. Teach leaders don&#39;t do that. Bullishly charging from fad to fad is... easier? https://www.inc.com/bruce-crumley/55-percent-of-leaders-regret-ai-layoffs-and-a-major-hiring-reversal-has-begun/91380901

    LOL! By all means you morons! Make sure only the most brain rotted among you can vote so you only field Trump deranged imbeciles. https://coloradosun.com/2026/04/20/colorado-republican-primaries-unaffiliated-voters-request/?utm_source=onesignal&amp;amp;utm_medium=push&amp;amp;utm_source=Colorado+Sun+App&amp;amp;utm_medium=App+Share+Button Makes the Democrat’s jobs easier to keep the state. #COpol #CO #colorado

    I’ve been watching ‘Invincible’ since it started and it’s fine (gory for sure). Each season I watch, forget and move on. Season 4 though, I’m like, “Maybe I’ll hold on to this and rewatch” So much better story telling! #TV

    What’re people using for Mesh home networking these days? TP Link has gotten progressively worse. Opened the app just now and it caused the system to reboot while Nicole was on a call. Just opened the app. #homenetwork #networking

    The internet really has broke our brains. People in writing forums “Can I write/do this?” EVERY DAY. People in reading forums “SHould I start with X or Y? Is this book ok?” People in Ereader forums “Should I buy X or Y?” I get getting input, but christ. Is no one capable of just acting without?

    I get it. You&amp;#39;re a slithereen or rufflepuff or whatever. HP is a massive cultural icon. But his creator is a horrible monster. You own the books and movies, great, enjoy those, you&amp;#39;ve already purchased. Supporting this new thing. That&amp;#39;s an endorsement of her evil. Same as buying a cybertruck was an endorsement of Musk. Go find someone creating things that aren&amp;#39;t evil to support.

    LOL. The Nebula voting packet is 95% PDFs. Fuck that noise. I’m not struggling through reading a PDF on a device that I normally read on (it would have to be my iPad). Nor am I inclined to try some janky conversion to EPUB. #sfwa
