トロイ @broph.bsky.social · 09/07/2025I'm not one for conspiracy theories but I've been around long enough to know deflection when I see it. Now I'm thinking it's likely this guy's on video doing something horrendous. 000
トロイ @broph.bsky.social · 05/07/2025Two hours into a solid, nearly unbroken barrage of fireworks. Deep, rumbling booms from miles away, and sharper pops and cracks from adjacent neighborhoods. It hasn't rained in the month since I've been back here in Berkeley, so I sure hope nobody sets another wildfire tonight. 000
トロイ @broph.bsky.social · 04/07/2025Cancelled a bunch of subscription services, including HBO Max, but realized that means I have to commit to finishing 'The Last of Us' this weekend, and my heart just isn't in it. 000

トロイ @broph.bsky.social · 28/06/2025I was already a fan of the Beastie Boys when they released "Ill Communication" (1994). But it wasn't until 2025 that I realized the lyric in "Do It" isn't simply, "Mike D's nuts." 000
トロイ @broph.bsky.social · 23/06/2025Every time I remember that Americans voted a convicted felon into the Oval Office it makes me feel like I'm having a stroke. 000
トロイ @broph.bsky.social · 20/06/2025This popped up in my YouTube feed today. "Prospect" is clearly a 'Western.' I can tell because the good guys wear white space helmets and the bad guys wear black ones. 000

トロイ @broph.bsky.social · 27/05/2025The most unrealistic thing about Andor season 2 is the idea that a politician could give a speech about the suppression of Truth by those in power and that it would have a significant impact. Ask me how I know it's inaccurate. 000
トロイ @broph.bsky.social · 27/05/2025When I was growing up in the 70s and 80s, the general consensus was that European movies often had tragic endings and were more sophisticated than Hollywood movies, with their generally happy endings.

トロイ @broph.bsky.social · 19/05/2025Where I work, we're required to change our passwords every 90 days. I pointed out to our IT team that this practice leads to people choosing less secure passwords. I was told that it was a requirement of at least one of our clients. People are idiots. 010
トロイ @broph.bsky.social · 19/05/2025I want to see an SNL sketch where the Qatari shitbags who offered Trump the jet suddenly freak out when they realize he's actually going to take it, because they thought the Emoluments Clause would prevent him from being allowed to. 000
