I saw one on the street and I thought someone had rattle-can spray painted an old Geo Storm.

Also, what is with the anatomy on his left knee?

If you look at his right hand. The thumb is all jacked and there is part of a bracelet. This is either the worst photoshop possible, or someone isn't checking the AI's homework.

Shouldn't it be American Opposum vs. Australian Possum?

pindercarl @pindercarl.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Australia actually has their own possum distinct from the opossum.

Even in an American city built on a grid, there are short blocks and long blocks. It's not a measure of distance. (Manhattan for reference.)

Eaton Canyon was named for his father Judge Benjamin Eaton. Eaton Canyon, of course, is famous for...never mind. The Jazz thing is probably better.

Heathers (1989). I would include Metalstorm: Destruction of Jared-Syn (1983), but that isn't much of a flex.

They're generally called Green Parrots, but they're probably parakeets. Most cities have a flock or two from pets that escaped in the 70s.

When I left AAA development in 2011, it was (in part) because I didn't won't to do another Call of Duty. 14 years later, and that studio is still doing Call of Duty.

Both the disco and the country club are exclusionary. The disco by means of the doorman gating who is "cool enough" for entry and the country club by membership. Los Angeles, in contrast, is open to everyone. Or maybe just disco = uncool, country club = uncool, therefore LA = cool.

Growing up hearing the proper military alphabet, I remember being confused watching CHiPs when they would use "David King..." to call in license plate numbers. I later learned that the police use a different alphabet. In the police alphabet, D is David.

I have a rule of thumb that anyone with a net worth of $1B or greater is a terrible person (sorry, Oprah fans, she is demonstrably bad). Let me just Google Mr. Beast's net worth...

When possible, I always park with the rear derailleur facing away from the rack. This helps prevent accidental damage to the derailleur.

When riding my bakfiet I get lots of nods, smiles, and waves. Drivers will rolldown their windows just to tell me that I have a "cool bike." No one nods, smiles, or waves at all the Cybertrucks.

This is great if you live in the narrow corridor where the trains run. If you are in, say Miami Beach, pedal assist e-bikes are banned from the bike path. Your choices are Collins or Indian Creek. No bike lanes and 3 lanes of cars. Miami biking infrastructure is the worst.

I've been out of game dev for quite a while, but it was always this way...going back to the nineties. The exception is successful annualized titles. I know people who have been working on Call of Duty for nearly two decades.

Absolutely. But please don't buy one of those fat tire e-bikes that has a throttle that goes to 30mph without pedaling. If you do, please stay off any bike/pedestrian infrastructure. You are on a moped and should be on the street.
