My prediction is that AI, Social Media, Micro Plastics, Forever Chemicals, and Climate Change will be the downfall of humans. We are doomed.

I saw one of the Tesla Cyber Cabs making test runs in the Sewickley area, I was not impressed.

It's 2026, why can't I just get the correct weather forecast? Google Weather, Apple Weather, AccuWeather, Weather.com all have completely different forecasts. Is it going to rain, or not? Do I have to be productive or do I have license to just lay around on the couch all day?

Profile pics, twelve years apart, 60 (2026) vs 48 (2014). Holding up okay; a few new lines, few more gray hairs, especially in my scruff, and currently weigh about 15 pounds less than in 2014

I really wish GRINDR would remind me how many hours I have into my block list before I get mad and just delete my account, only to come back a few months later and have to start blocking from scratch.

As I was walking through Target today I wondered, what is it going to take for the ripped knees in jeans trend to finally die off? Retailers certainly must know that killing off this trend will force people to have to buy replacements Why must these trends carry on WAY past when they were cool?

Hey @netflix.com , saying you are releasing the final episodes of Stranger Things on Christmas but then not doing it until 8 pm is lousy. At that point you are pretty much not releasing them until Boxing Day.

My tolerance for GRINDR is down to about 7 days every 6 months. The only thing is has going for itself is name recognition. SCRUFF is a far better application overall but instead the boys just accept the disaster that is the GRINDR app.

Cher on SNL was disappointing. I really did not think she would sing live, but did she have to be so bad a lip syncing?

When I go to Target I don't want to talk to anyone or have anyone talk to me, that is why I stand in line to use self-check out. How can I opt out of this new policy that is going to force me to have to interact with people? This is a nightmare for introverts. www.usatoday.com/story/grocer...

Target's new policy requires employees who are within 10 feet of customers to smile, make eye contact, wave and use friendly body language.

I think my smart scale is being passive aggressive with it’s motivational messages. What exactly are you implying with “Focus on wellbeing, not numbers”? My scale, whose primary function is numbers, is telling me to just give up?

I generally despise when SiriusXM broadcasts from festivals however, BPM broadcasting the Experts Only Festival in NYC is stimulating the right part of my brain and making me very happy. This almost makes me wish I could tolerate people enough to attend a festival in person. Nah, not likely.

On Star Trek Strange New Worlds they went to Permante 3 (spelling?), at one point Erica references someone bringing her back a sandwich that has the fries inside. Apparently the series has a writer from Pittsburgh on staff who managed to work in a Primanti’s reference.

I do not understand this new GRINDR spam profile trend that is flooding my grid with women's asses in yoga pants. I don't understand who this is targeting and how it can be that effective to be so prolific. And since GRINDR got so politically correct, you can no longer filter profiles by gender.

Dealing with an injury so more down time than expected this summer. Watching past seasons of the intl franchises of Drag Race. Can someone please explain what the hell the point of the make over / drag family resemblance challenge actually is? Judging on this convinces me the show is rigged.

Okay BlueSky gym rats and kinksters - Does anyone know of a brand that makes "tall" sizes in singlets (for the gym)? I don't understand why all brands for all shirts, etc. don't acknowledge that you can both wear a medium/large shirt AND be tall at the same time.

While I am all for banning hand held electronic device usage while driving, why haven't we banned things like: 1) Holding coffee cups, cigarettes/vape pens 2) Cradling your tiny white lap dog 3) Applying makeup 4) Eating 5) Children (all of them) www.pa.gov/agencies/pen...

I resisted watching Drag Race for most of the seasons but have been watching the more recent seasons. There is definitely a formula/playbook to win the lip sync competitions and most of the challenges, I am amazed at how many queens don't understand what they have to do to win or be in the top 5.

Why does every site in existence require two factor login authentication these days? I can understand some sites, but seriously it is not necessary for most of the sites that require it.

I can't understand how organizations like the Log Cabin Republicans can exist, nor can I understand anyone from the LGBTQIA community that votes Republican, and add to that any family of a member of the LGBTQIA community that votes R, oh wait, that was my MAGA sister www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...

It took me three tries to get through to first 25-30 minutes of Emilia Perez but I finally powered through and watched the whole movie. It does get better (in my opinion) once you get further into the movie and is worth the praise that it is garnering.

I was disappointed in Paramount's Star Trek: Section 31, it was stylized like Guy Ritchie doing Star Trek, it was distracting and unnecessary, however, Michelle Yeoh kicked ass.

On Wednesday 1/15/25, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments into the possible 1st Amendment violations of the 19+ states laws that now require age verification to access porn sites. This is going to be a very interesting case to listen to live. www.cnn.com/2025/01/11/p...

For a good portion of the movie Conclave I felt like Stanley Tucci was just replaying Nigel from The Devil Wears Prada, the dialogue could be interchanged and in both movies he was either concerned about of wore silly frocks.

Finally watched the HBO/MAX Yacht Rock documentary. This was the music of my tween/teen years of the '70's and early '80s before my musical tastes moved towards New Wave. I was surprised by how many of the songs I remember at least some of the lyrics.

Another TV series set design issue that I have: Silo on Apple TV; The silos were supposedly built in 2049, why the heck are they using florescent and incandescent light fixtures and they have CRT computer monitors? Everything should at least be LED.

I have a nit-picky observation about Dune Prophecy on HBO/MAX - it is set 10,000 years before the Dune movies and Paul Atreides, and I know they outlawed machines that can think, but why is all the tech, the architecture, the clothing, basically everything the same in Prophecy vs. 10,000 yrs later?
