Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 06/10/2026I am 99% here except that I will make exceptions for things that are the result of terrible choices or laziness. Poor hygiene, a shitty haircut, etc. Someone can't control that their face is Like That. Someone CAN control that they look like they've been marooned at sea for weeks. 010
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 06/10/2026I want to hear Ian McKellen on a commentary track, in character, talking about the Nazgul fight and being like "yeah, here's a couple of untrained Hobbits putting belt to ass on these 'kings of men'. Pitiful stuff honestly. Bitch-made" 010
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 06/10/2026Everyone says this is the millennial website but if you want those sweet sweet engagement metrics you really need to target Gen X 060
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 05/10/2026Like, there are absolutely some incredible philosophical questions to be discussed around the nature of consciousness and what it means to be a "person" But this isn't the tech that's hit that threshold and these are DEFINITELY not the people to be having that debate 2110
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 04/10/2026I live in Ohio and we have enough problems that I can’t go full single issue but that one would tempt me 020
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 04/10/2026Oh yeah, that's the stuff. Straight to the veins, please 180
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 02/10/2026We need to start checking the water supply at this point 010
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 02/10/2026Isn't Nuke the name of the street drug in RoboCop? Is that what he's thinking of? That's what he's thinking of, isn't it 110

Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 01/10/2026You’re a great follow. Glad you had a fun happy hour! You deserve it! 010
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 30/09/2026Brain on drugs and it's not close, although I always _preferred_ "learned it by watching you" because it makes such an excellent general purpose punchline/rebuttal for when I do stupid crap 010
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 30/09/2026People always say that no one wants to hear about people's fantasy teams, but I just can't possibly believe that, because I find few things funnier than hearing how Isaiah Likely shitting the bed against the Titans wrecked someone's weekend 2213
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 29/09/2026The real question: are they better or worse than that brisket Cornyn trotted out 010
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 29/09/2026One of the profound disappointments of growing up was that I assumed I would have some kind of window between "getting zits" and "having crow's feet". This did not happen and I will be salty about it forever 0170
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 29/09/2026I know Congress hasn't worked properly in a while now and even if we get a functional one they have a ton of things to do, but stomping out a whole class of corporate management malfeasance has got to be a priority and this is just one of the symptoms Stock buybacks need to be illegal again! 040
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 29/09/2026This is me and FromSoft games. It's not even the difficulty, it's that the worlds are so unrelentlingly grim. Like, the best case scenario is often something like "you break the cycle of torment, but you do it by plunging the world into a dark age for a thousand years" They're super well made! BUT. 1370
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 29/09/2026Pro: what a delightful gift, and you already have a cake Con: only one cake instead of two, if they were separate 020
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 28/09/2026"The two best days of boat ownership and the day you buy it and the day you sell it", as a person? Yeah, I can see that. 020
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 28/09/2026I am 80 or 90% sure I am NT and let me assure you that I am _fully_ aware I am the outlier here 090
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 28/09/2026One of my favorite Little Kid moments from ours is when he understood what No meant, but not how to use it, so his response to us saying No would be “Not No!” which makes me giggle to this day 020
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 27/09/2026It also would have incredible ROI. Prevention goes so far with dental, and dental issues have a staggering number of knock on effects to overall health 020
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 26/09/2026I am pretty sure I have seen the entire run of The Blacklist via Shorts feeding me clips. Not a complaint, James Spader rules 070
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 26/09/2026My “favorite” part of modern society is that while my immediate reaction is that this is a bit, in my heart of hearts I know it’s likely just a straight recounting of the facts 060
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 26/09/2026They're both good, but they're also both competing for the silver medal. Kevin Harlan is MY president 020

Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 25/09/2026Yeah, I'm like 5'11" and 7/8ths or something, but it's basically ALL LEGS and air travel is not an exciting time 040
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 25/09/2026Evangelicals and Evangelion both being about insane perverts obsessing over the end of the world doesn't feel like a coincidence 0150
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 25/09/2026The weirdest thing about it for me is that I don't think it's AI slop; it's actually too terrible for that? I feel like ChatGPT would put out a more palatable chunk of slime than this Like it would still be soulless and terrible but it'd feel more coherent? 360

Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 24/09/2026I don't know why it happens, but every time I see a dachshund in person, "Hall of the Mountain King" begins playing in my head. It's not unwelcome! Just... inexplicable. 020

Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 23/09/2026My reasonably-politically-engaged-for-his-age kid is 13. The Trump era is the only thing he has ever known. When my wife and I talk about what things were like before, in particular the Obama era, he just straight up does not believe us and it's hard to fault him on that 020
Andrew Nelson @i.amnot.social · 23/09/2026Okay so I have an eighth grader and what I will tell you about him and his friends is that they are not subtle people They aren't really capable of any "sneaking into something" type behavior, so if they were in there, either people wanted them there, or more likely, truly did not care who got in 130
