Does anyone have an Oura Ring that can convince me I ought to keep it? After using mine for three weeks, I'm starting to get concerned that it might just be reading me my horoscope?

I forgot I deleted my Twitter account, went back over to check something, saw someone else wearing the skin of my old handle and ... well that's a weird feeling.

It's a very Damon Lindelof Thing™ to have episodes that completely recontextualize earlier parts of the series, and I love it every time. Glad to see the trend continuing in Lanterns.

The Watchmen show on HBO was so effing good, and I feel like it should be better regarded than it is. They took one of the greatest literary works of all time and made an equally momentous sequel in the form of a show, and we should talk about that more.

Am suddenly in the very weird position of wondering if I can opt out of Witcher 3 Remastered until I've finished Blood & Wine 😬

Lots of complicated feelings about everyone getting out of games, but you can do a lot worse than retiring with Deus Ex on your resume. Probably still my favourite video game.

It drives me crazy that unsubscribe forms pretend like this is necessary. Like it's not just a bit that could be changed in microseconds on their server.

Sure, yes, absolutely! That's a blessing. But it's also so painful that we're all forced to endure this from algorithmic media every single time.

Gotta get into the E3 spirit with the first T-shirt I ever wore to an E3.

I know it's pathetic, but even having lived most of my life in places with wet seasons, 15 years of living in Los Angeles has made rain intolerable.

I'm flying to Japan (!), and of course the one time I choose to come to the airport earlier than usual is when I set a new record for dropoff to gate. 15 mins! Now I wait 2 hours. 😑

The Scrubs revival, at least in two episodes, is shockingly good! It really feels like a return to the show you love, there's barely any semblance of reboot gimmicks, just what amounts to a massive time skip.
