The captain has just told me and the 200 other people on this flight that "we're just waiting for a panel to be taped up" so that's a thing that happens apparently.

I complimented a guy less than half my age on his Meshuggah t-shirt today in the grocery store, and he was oh so happy to start a lenghty conversation about how awesome metal is. The kids are alright.

When the only chance you have to see @sciencebanshee.bsky.social is at the airport, this is how happy you are, despite the airport coffee.

Btw the Grogu movie was top notch baby Yoda content, 12/10, best SW movie since Return of the Jedi. The first 10 minutes were more exciting than the entire sequel trilogy. (Rogue One was pretty good too)

I don't know if I should be more offended that my uber driver switched to the oldies station when I got in, or that the oldies station plays Van Halen.

I may have overestimated the amount of fika needed for 11 people. (This is not even all of it, only about 75% fit on the serving plates)
