Played so much Star Raiders on this, but I also played a bunch of educational games in BASIC and my dad hooked it to to a 400 baud modem to connect to GEnie, a precursor to CompuServe (itself a precursor to AOL).

Well they nailed me thanks to ‘grinder’ and ‘tag sale.’ 20 years ago I think they’d have stuck me in NY because back then I (erroneously and regretfully) referred to those sandwiches as ‘heroes.’ But I’m surprised they got it without asking me how I pronounced a ‘t’ in the middle of the word.

Newsom team’s social media shtick was fresh and funny at first but fell off hard when they went to the homophobia well and is now tired and bordering on embarrassing.

ESPN app is exactly as bad as it has been since the day it debuted. They designed an app almost twenty years ago, made platform-necessary and aesthetic upgrades, and just gave up.

Craig won’t see this because he long since muted me for being annoying (which, fair) but to anyone else seeing this, this is bad form and you shouldn’t do if, especially if your reputation is ”contrarian who does his homework getting it right.”

So proud of this parking job in New Haven that this photo is still in my favorites from 2018.
The greatest parallel parking job of all time.
