Mikey (one of 'em) @saydlen.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Saw this in an empty theater for a Christmas Day showing. One of the people in our group brought a giant Tupperware of lumpia though, so it'd be tough for me to be objective about the movie. 100

Mikey (one of 'em) @saydlen.bsky.social · 09/09/2026I have actually curated bored time on occasion. It's a space where I often find creative inspiration for topics that have been subconsciously cooking. 010
Mikey (one of 'em) @saydlen.bsky.social · 08/09/2026It used to be a serious ticket, $125 IIRC, and under Washington law pedestrians are only afforded right of way in crosswalks.

Mikey (one of 'em) @saydlen.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Not controversial at all in my world. I've been clinging to an older ipad mini for my bedtime stories because it still has a headphone jack. 110
Mikey (one of 'em) @saydlen.bsky.social · 26/08/2026There've been several throughout the day that were in the IYKYK category. A weird amount of my favorite college anecdotes center on the 'History of American Musical Theater' class I took. Watching 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas' for homework is absolutely one of them. 060
Mikey (one of 'em) @saydlen.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I'm maybe open for one more episode of the new Ted Lasso, but weird denigrations of the women's game are rough and jamming in Harry Potter shit?!? 020
Reposted by Mikey (one of 'em)Hellrosser @rosserford.bsky.social · 26/08/2026We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered. 326301876762

Mikey (one of 'em) @saydlen.bsky.social · 24/08/2026I have the Genki Force Field 2, and like that it fits in the dock and it's enough extra comfort for shorter handheld sessions, but wouldn't recommend if you're mostly undocked. I liked having a case with adjustable grip depths on my original switch and would probably look for that on another case. 000

Mikey (one of 'em) @saydlen.bsky.social · 18/07/2026I'd wager a LOT of dollars y'all have data that it's worthwhile for WoW. I like when everyone's curious and shares what they've learned 'cause there are so many different ways to do it well, but the details are wild. 010
Mikey (one of 'em) @saydlen.bsky.social · 18/07/2026It super can be! But sometimes it isn't worth the cost and I *love* that Digital Extemes A/B tested their onboarding and realized the effort didn't improve retention at a reasonable rate. I.e.
