Long ago, when I was SUPER into 'tech', I used to buy Micro-Mart to read the 'news'. I used to love that little magazine. And there is a part of me that misses the old days of computer adverts. Hate me if you must, but I had ChatGPT do this image for the nostalgia. I remember ink-smudged pages.

An AI generated image it shows a vision of what computer magazines used to be like, but presenting modern equipment.

Will someone explain, in small words, the insanity that is the fact I am getting close to 500 followers on here... What does that even mean, and - to those followers: what do you get from me? And, if I need it back would that be okay? Oh, and here's some picadillo quesadilla I made recently 😋🌮

Watching Person of Interest & it bothers me greatly that there are many scenes of people casually chatting while stood in a server room, or literal data center... Like- Have ever been near a single server blade? Let alone a full rack under load? Really gets on my jumblies. 🫠 #SuspensionOfDisbelief

Trump's own trustees just admitted it in writing: he's withholding fundraising help unless his name goes back on the building he's bankrupting. Hostage-taking a national arts institution for a vanity plaque. Mafia tactics: "Nice heritage centre, would be a shame is something bad happened to it."

No stream today. That's not a change from any other day, but it seems like an important announcement with the amount of times I see it being posted. So, I thought it best to make sure that if anyone was expecting it - to alert everyone that it's not happening.

Screw it... I don't really have money to be frivolous, but I want to treat myself. Let's see if @weprintminiatures.com can produce stuff as good as their outreach is. I really wanted King In Yellow Eldritch Cultist Miniature but couldn't reason to buy it alone. I wonder what free mini I'll get?

Dear everyone. I wish to make my current position known: I am at odds with, and find myself inconvenienced by, adverbs. They can, and I most sincerely believe, fuck off. I am of firm opinion that these atrociously dictatorial rulings of grammar do, indeed, make my life objectively more contrived.

Any other 80's kids just devour Sugar Puffs? I could nosh an entire box and not slow down. My very best wife found & procured the modern equivalent: just as grotesquely saccharine as I remember them being... 😋 So if you're like me, check out: Sugar-Crisps... They hit the spot👌 #Xennial #Nostalgia

The classic Sugar Puffs cereal box from a time before people had the wherewithal to comprehend 'healthy' breakfast; a time lost in the mist of history. When things weren't suffering enshittification or shrinkflation. A glorious teeth-rotting time of excess and wonder known as 'The eighties'

A lovely bowl of Sugar-Crisp cereal, a very worthy replacement for the classic Sugar Puffs cereal- in all its overtly sweet glory

The box artwork of Sugar-Crisp cereal, a blessing sent by the gods, or Canadians ... easy to mix up those two.
