Thank you so much for all of your happy birthday wishes. Honestly, I don’t really feel 100. I feel pretty good. I feel like I’m only 98!

@lecinenerd.bsky.social So, I have this mental list of movies from 302010, In and Out finally was purchased... I was a little surprised to see that it says 1997 on the back of the box. How is a conversation from a podcast I listened to 8 years, and 4 kids ago still influencing my purchasing?

I know this might not be the point, but could these people support their local bottle shops. Maybe its the Wisconsinite in me, but they wouldn't need to pull out their IDs if they supported the small business for alcohol.

referring to metroidvanias as "hollowslop" to simultaneously piss off people who like metroidvanias, people who like hollow knight, people who want a better genre name for "metroidvania", people who are sick of the word slop being misused, and gradius fans who want to see more checkpoint recoveries

Every year on Memorial Day, I share this video of French caretakers who take sand from Omaha Beach in Normandy, and scrub them into the letters to give them the gold coloring. They do this for all 9,386 US soldiers who died. France also gave us this land as American soil.

I've been watching a Kikkoman plant being built for the past year. It won't be ready until sometime in 2026. A committed car factory sounds worthless to me at the moment.

In the 1930s, Titus Tart started a potato chip company, and of course he named it for himself.
A bag of Big Tits potato chips — for 10¢ you got 1 & 3/4 ounces of chips.

There's a picture of a large man in a suit with a walking stick on it that is of course "Big Tits" aka Titus Tart

POTUS spent approximately $17M in taxpayer dollars to attend the SuperBowl. Where’s DOGE on this waste? Meanwhile, a dozen eggs at my local grocery is going for $7.49 because bird flu is still spreading. CDC and NIH are facing massive funding cuts.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I’ll just say it because it’s the holidays. No matter what’s going on in your life or how hard things might be, I want you to always remember that Jerry Rice & Nitus’ Dog Football is $0.89 on Steam and still uses the original Nintendo Wii box art.
