Question for you, @chucktowski.com. I was trying to use Glance for GB RSS article and review written feeds, but I get a 403 from Cloudflare. I just stood Glance back up, but I swear this used to work in the past. Has something changed on those RSS feeds?

Every photo of the Oval Office makes me cringe with how tacky and gaudy it is. No class. It's as if someone believes if they surround themselves with shiny things, they too will take on that value.

I'm tired of the needle drops in James Gunn (or adjacent) movies. Hottest of hot takes, I know, but Supergirl was worse for them and there were too many.

So, I’m going to go out on a limb here. I think McConnell was unresponsive and CPR was performed, but he may have been without oxygen too long and isn’t going to regain consciousness. I mean, it’s not the wildest theory.

So, watching Pluribus (finally). I like the concept, but has Vince Gilligan ever made a main character that's likable? Walter, Saul, and now Carol... I get you don't have to like them, but Carol is running at 11 on extremes and utterly incapable of empathy to other's point of view.

Having had a combination of Xbox Live gold or game pass ultimate for 21 years, I just cancelled. $30/mo is just too much. Looks like I’m back on PC for Battlefield 6 and I’ll keep the Nintendo annual subscription

Are the premium podcasts all coming through the general premium feed and not the show specific ones? GMM came across on GB premium, not GMM premium. Just wondering if I should remove obsolete feeds. @giantbomb.bsky.social @janochoa.bsky.social @turboshawn.com

Started Clair Obscur after South of Midnight. It’s also very good. Game Pass is killing it right now.

You know it's fun when you can look at your stock chart and keep moving in from 1yr, 6M, 3M and you have to get to 1W to get a good look at the cliff dive. We're screwed.

While I will eventually get a Switch 2, that reveal was very anti-climactic. With the amount of leaks, you’d think Nintendo might adjust rather than just stay the course.

Two months after breaking her hip, my 92 year old mother is returning to assisted living after hospital and surgery, acute rehab and skilled nursing. Been a long road, but by all estimates, this was a pretty quick recovery.

New toy. Firefly 30” baritone. Lots of dead frets. Needs a good setup. Ordered strings, but while I wait, figured I’d clean it up and oil the fret board.
