New glasses, new look. 🤓 I’ve always wanted a pair of prescription sunglasses, so I’m loving them. The gold-framed round ones are a new look entirely. I don’t know, what do you think? #mensstyle #newglasses

Today, I was just a gamer driving around with his gay gaymer shirt while looking for a gas station that has a working air pump for my tires. 🛞

Photo of a man's black graphic t-shirt which contains characters from the Mario video game series, with the colors of the rainbow trailing behind them. The man's face isn't visible, except for the lower part of his ginger-red-orange beard.

Still gay and nerdy. Happy Pride! 🌈

Selfie of a man with ginger-red hair and a light beard, fair skin, with a slight half-smirk. His upper body is visible and he wears a silver rope chain necklace with a Griever pendant (from Final Fantasy VIII). In the background, two Govee Wall Sconces emit a red glow, which covers the scene in a dark red hue after washing the walls with the red light. Shadows provide a striking contrast. The atmosphere evokes a devilish vibe.

Imagine what a well-financed challenger who campaigns on behalf of working people could do? 💭 Tom Suozzi does NOT represent us. #democrats #centrists #socialism

Two stitched screenshots showing the number of registered voters in NY's 3rd Congressional District, along with the most recent June 2026 primary election results. Circled and highlighted are the 207,726 active, registered Democrat voters as well as the results in NY-3, with Thomas R. Suozzi getting 20,820 votes over 5,263 votes for Danielle Welch and 63 write-ins. The total votes in the primary election is currently reported at 26,146 votes.

“Centrist” Democrats may talk a big game, but they’re vulnerable. In NY-03, Tom Suozzi won, but even with exceptionally low voter turnout, almost 1 in 5 voted for virtually unknown alternatives. 🗳️ There are 207,726 active Democrat voters in NY’s Third District. Suozzi could only get out 20,820. 👇

Thread from Tom Suozzi, the Congressman representing NY’s Third Congressional District reposting a headline “After wins by democratic socialists, centrist Democrats unite to push back.” Suozzi writes, “We disagree with MAGA. We disagree with socialism…”

#Apple has increased prices across almost all their products. 💻 I suspect that the reason we don’t see increases for #iPhone, Apple Watch, or AirPods is because we’ll see price spikes with the next gen. But HomePods and Apple TV? Those use chips from 2019-2021! We’re losing the plot with #AI. 🤦‍♂️

Screenshot of a note listing the Apple Price increases. The text is reproduced below.

Title: Apple Price Increases (June 25, 2026). Note: no increases on current iPhones, Apple Watches, or AirPods.

MacBook Neo: $699 (up from $599). 13-inch MacBook Air: $1,299 (up from $1,099). 15-inch MacBook Air: $1,499 (up from $1,299). M5 MacBook Pro: $1,999 (up from $1,699).

Since this seems to have been missed my most: The Hypertention Alerts (or what people are referring to as blood pressure monitoring) are NOT exclusive to Apple Watch Series 11. They, along with the sleep score, will be on Series 9 and Series 10 as well as Apple Watch Ultra 3 and 2. #Apple

Screenshot, with highlights, of a footnote on regarding Apple Watch hypertension notifications. “As of September 9, 2025,” [highlight starts] “hypertension notifications are currently under FDA review” [highlight ends] “and are expected to be cleared this month, with availability on Apple Watch Series 9 and later and Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later” [“Apple Watch Series 9 is highlighted in yellow].

The Apple Watch Series 11 internals look a lot like my Series 9 (and Series 10)… I was hoping for a reason to upgrade 😭 #AppleEvent #AppleWatch #Apple #AppleWatchSeries11

Side by side comparison of Apple Watch Series 11, 10, and 9, focused on the Chip. The highlights show the differences with the only difference being the name of the chip "S10" (which is highlighted in green on the Series 11 and Series 10) versus the
"S9" on the Series 9. Otherwise, 64-bit dual-core processor, 4-core neural engine, W3 Apple Wireless Chip, 2nd Generation Ultra Wideband, and 64GB capacity are identical.

Sometimes, you try to speak, but you can’t hear your own voice. When someone shifts the rules and reality itself, you watch as you disappear. Erased. 🫥 This is for anyone who has the unbearable burden of memory—and silence. 🤐 #PTSD #NarrativeShift #SilentTruth #FriendshipDynamics

Gotta love unpublished guidelines for #ChatGPT that prevent generating images that could imply protesting “political themes” like “government surveillance” or “oppression” or “dystopian imagery.” So much for my “stark urban landscape” with a vibrant flower defiantly emerging. #OpenAI #FreeSpeech

In ChatGPT, User asks where they can find the content policy for image generation. System responds that the policy isn’t public, but that they may be flagged in violation as content guidelines for image generation requests if they contain real-world political themes or dystopian imagery, particularly those implying “oppression,” mass monitoring, controversial themes, surveillance, and protest.

Ok fine, here’s a screenshot of the January 20, 2025 Executive Order, Section 2. Though last I saw, it was temporarily blocked by a district court as “blatantly unconstitutional” while the litigation is pending. (P.S. I love Due Process.)

A screenshot from of Subsection 2 of U.S. President Trump’s January 20, 2025 Executive Order which purports to bar US Government agencies from issuing/accepting “documents recognizing United States Citizenship” to persons in certain circumstances who are born in the United States when that person’s mother was “unlawfully present” or when that person’s mother’s presence in the US was “lawful but temporary.” In both cases, the father must also NOT be a US citizen or lawful permanent resident at the time of the person’s birth. And subsection (b) states that this only applies to persons born within the US “after 30 days from the date of this order.” Note that U.S. District Judge John Coughenour temporarily blocked the order last month (January 2025), describing it as "blatantly unconstitutional” as pending litigation proceeds.

They say cutting your own hair and taking a selfie is a sign of madness… But I say it’s just a sign of resourcefulness. 😉 Also: I’m completely unhinged. 💋 #GaySelfie #GingerAndProud #QueerHumor

A close-up portrait selfie of a man with fair skin, textured orange-ginger hair styled with volume on top and a clean fade on the sides. His blue-green eyes and subtle, playful smile radiate confidence and charm. The blurred bokeh background adds focus to his features, complemented by soft, natural lighting that highlights his warm complexion. Perfectly capturing a mix of modern grooming, natural charisma, and inviting expression, this image evokes authenticity and approachability.

My love language is traumatic bonding, what’s yours? 🫠 #gayselfie #satire

Man who thinks he’s 24 but might be 10 years older than that stares upwards at the camera, as if he is “begging” for something or someone. He has vibrant ginger-red hair and a neatly trimmed beard, wide green-blue eyes, and wears a pink T-shirt and black glasses. His expression might look wistful or forlorn to some. The background is blurred creating a portrait-mode effect.

In the final part of this neverending love story, I grapple with the aftermath. What if we could just see and accept each other for who we are? How would things change if those with power/status treated their pursuits as equals—not as tests or games? #QueerIdentity #SelfReflection #PowerDynamics

In the second part of my first neverending love story: my crush and I appear to share an enthusiasm for a shared, comforting activity. 🫂 We never needed to discuss it directly, not verbally—except when it seemed to be progressing further. 🗣️ #RelationshipStorytime #LGBTQVoices #HighSchoolMemories

My fellow #EastCoast friends, here’s your annual reminder that EST ≠ EDT and yes—BOTH occur in the Eastern Time Zone (ET) ⏰ Wild. #NewYork #TodayILearned #TomeZones

Wild looking meme of a man with crazy eyes, mouth open in shock and amazement as he points to the conclusion on the Chalkboard: Eastern Standard time ≠ Eastern Daylight Time. The effect is one of astonished amazement, as if he has just uncovered a secret truth, but is so overdone as to make it obvious to the viewer that this is really an obvious fact.

My streets were dangerous… Pixelated. Falling rocks, molten lava. ☄️ BANANA PEELS! 🍌 I don’t talk about those days often… 😰 #gaymer #snes #mariokart

Photo resembling a Mario Kart (Super Nintendo SNES) track that looks like Bowser’s Castle. The pixelated track resembles stone bricks, with parts of the track cut across with molten lava, and angry looking stones in the near-distance await to attempt to thwomp the go-kart driver who has a resemblance to Bowser, as the spiky green shell of his back and fiery red mane and horns are visible. He rides a red go-kart. A blue “1” is on the top right of the screen, suggesting the driver is in 1st place.
