Hearing @romanmars.bsky.social do a custom voice ad for the City of Dallas today was surreal.

Are you the Tesla board? Here’s what you do to make sure you don’t go down with the ship: 1. Spin off Superchargers into a separate company. 2. Spin off Solar and Batteries. Keep both companies under a single holding company, and ditch the cars entirely.

Gyu Don is what was required this evening. Also Korean oysters. Very tasty.

NGL that #Severance S2E8 could have been interspersed with another episode. We learned some important stuff but that was a …. Slow 37 minutes of TV. Maybe like 15 of it was actually stuff happening? Huge implications in retrospect though. It’s not S2E7 though. #TV #AppleTV #SeveranceSeason2

One of the weird things about watching the earlier SciFi … sigh *SyFy*-produced episodes of The Expanse versus the Amazon ones is the clear and obvious commercial breaks. Man this show is good. The subtle genre shifts over time are wonderful. #TV #TheExpanse #ScienceFiction #AmazonPrime #Rewatch

Video games are a better example, probably better than any other media, that [too much] money ruins [most] art. There’s exceptions on all sides, but there’s less in gaming than there are in film, TV, or music. #videogames #gaming #warnerbros

I am greatly enjoying the perks system in #Overwatch. Like a lot. It’s made me focus on specific characters a little more whereas before I was being too “jack of all trades” a bit much. Also Mei OP.

It has come to my attention that apparently “for hire DMs” are a thing and maybe do birthday parties for groups of inexperienced people? I have interest. #dnd #dallas #dungeonsanddragons #ttrpg

Brisket complete. One of the juiciest? Amazing bark. One of the crispest smoke rings I’ve ever done. Big win for a #Costco impulse buy. #brisket #bbqlife #smokedbrisket #texasbbq #meatlover #bbqporn #lowandslow #smokehouse #beefbrisket #grillmaster #barbecue #bbqsmoker #bbqcommunity #foodie

A whole smoked brisket with a dark, crispy bark resting on a cutting board lined with foil. The surface glistens with rendered fat, showing a rich, well-seasoned crust.

A sliced brisket being lifted by a gloved hand, revealing a deep smoke ring and tender, juicy meat beneath the dark bark. The cutting board below has rendered juices pooling on the surface.

We definitely don’t talk about #Craigslist ’s role in gutting local #newspapers. As much as we can deride consolidation and the web in general, nothing killed local newsrooms in small communities like the loss of classified revenue. #technology #trends #advertising

WIP Wednesday This used to be the Dark Angels Deathwing Knight free mini of the month. Now it’s a veteran sergeant waiting for some friends! #WIPWednesday #Warhammer40k #MiniaturePainting #SpaceMarines #HobbyProgress #ImperialFists #MiniatureConversion #TabletopGaming

A hand holds a partially painted Warhammer 40K miniature of a Space Marine veteran sergeant, mounted on a cork for stability. The model was converted from a Dark Angels Deathwing Knight and is now painted in Imperial Fists’ signature yellow armor with red and black accents. The marine’s head is exposed, featuring a red helmet with silver details. A black tabard with weathering effects hangs from the waist, and the model carries a black bolter in one hand. The background shows a cutting mat with a grid pattern, hobby tools, and paint residue.

Apple Stores no longer stocking the Belkin anti-glare film for iPhones that can be used with the cool “perfect placement” machines they use is my very minor annoyance of the day/week/year/decade. And Zagg doesn’t seem to carry them in store either. Sigh. #Apple #iPhone #Screenprotector #belkin

Scant vacation is probably the number one factor for the lack of sustained #protests in the modern US. Meanwhile the French are like “what did you do on your holidays, Jacque?” “Oh nothing crazy, blocked traffic, set some construction equipment on fire, nice refreshing time.”

Intetrsting thought about the US #mobile phone market: Had the #iPhone launched in 2007 as an unlocked device able to be used on any GSM network, it would have hugely undercut the demand and impetus for the initial spate of #Android devices and we’d be looking at a much different landscape.

If you’re curious about why Ms.Huang in #Severance sounds so familiar if you’re the parent of a toddler… it’s because she’s the main singer of Pinkfong’s “Baby Shark.” I’m sorry. #SeveranceSeason2 #TV

The #TikTokban was never going to go any other way. SCOTUS was never really an option: - Liberal justices disagree with Citizens United, so no 1st Amendment case for the company and other options exist for citizens. - Conservative majority hates China anyway. #TikTok #content #advertising

The Soulless Queen, The Godess Mithra herself, Knight-Commander of the Sisters of Silence, Chief Investigatus-Militant of the Divisio Astra Telepathica - Jenetia Krole #Warhammer40K #MiniaturePainting #SistersOfSilence #JenetiaKrole #TabletopGaming #HobbyPainting

A highly detailed miniature of Jenetia Krole, Knight-Commander of the Sisters of Silence from Warhammer 40K, posed dynamically on a rocky base. She wears ornate power armor with gold and black detailing, a flowing white cape adorned with red trim, and wields a long sword. Her expression is stern, with a distinctive topknot hairstyle flowing behind her. The multiple angles highlight the intricate craftsmanship, including finely painted armor, gemstone embellishments, and weathering effects on her cape and base.

RIP David Lynch. There was a period where he was the only one doing what he did. While a singular visionary, it’s great to see filmmakers like Eggers, Aster, and Lanthimos who grew up influenced by his style and tone finding great success. His influence lives on. #RIPDavidLynch #film #movies

Nintendo watched parents and grandparents be confused as hell about the Wii U, and then also watched gamers be confused about the Xbox One X, the Series X, etc. #Switch2 means everyone knows it’s better. Nintendo gets a pass on resting on their laurels for once. #NintendoDirect #gaming

What a ride #SkeletonCrew was. Really fun Star Wars. No hard or unnecessary ties to other Star Wars projects makes it a really nice change of pace. No “falling action” at the end was also kind of a nice surprise, because it’s the kids’ story, and all that doesn’t matter to them.

On the one hand, you have people leaving platforms voluntarily because their owners are shitheels. On the other, you have people signing up for anything they can that promises to be #TikTok. TikTok grabs your ganglia because of its algorithm. Anything without that won’t hit those same feels.

One of my favourite bits on Threads has been persistently pretending the conceit of #BetterMan is 100% authentic and Britain really had a talking performing chimpanzee pop star in the 90s/00s. It riles people up just the right way sometimes. #pranks #music #britpop
