So I signed up to Facebook a few weeks ago because I was told it’s a good place to sell stuff (it’s not). I got a message but need Messenger to read it? So downloaded messenger, and within 30min 3 people I haven’t seen since the 90’s message me? WTF is going on. How are there people from the 90’s…

Okay, going to go see that new Spider-Man movie. Haven’t been into comics since I was a kid but the tickets are only $10, and Tom and Zanya seem like nice ppl so… seems like a fine way to spend a Sunday morning.

7 Ancient Greek Poems That Will Change Your Mind About Love and War | TheCollector
These ancient Greek poems about love and war feel surprisingly modern in sentiment. From Sappho to Archilochus, this is the raw side of classical literature.

Saw the new Resident Evil movie last night, it was a lot of fun! We were all laughing along. A bit like Zombieland!

People figuring out all this “hard gangsta G” rapper crap is just marketing to sell to you as “cool”. Yeah, they’re playing police officers on TV, singing Christian songs with MAGA and hosting conservative conferences. They’ll sell you what you want to buy. They aren’t selling themselves.

Listening to an USA podcast, they mentioned if the democrats don’t win the midterms he’ll have to rethink his understanding of his people. Going to interesting watching the backflips and excuses he comes up with when they lose.

Okay, straight away can tell this is designed by people that use it. Texture back for grip and not sweaty smooth plastic. Bezel on the side for holding, slightly curved for grip, turn button where your thumb rests. Rounded edge for your palm. Light as a feather. Dude this is awesome.

Anyway, my Kobo Libra Color arrived! Love the packaging! Making it look like a book was a great idea. Might actually store it in my bookshelf!

The new book cover interface of the new kindles look nice, hope Kobo do something the same, uncluttered. But why have the big bezel at the bottom not the side? Still no turn buttons.

Productive day! Went for a hike in the early morn, did some window shopping at a local hardware store, scrubbed the dust & dirt off the patio getting it all shiny & ready for summer BBQs. Cleaned out one of the cupboards. Washed the car, did an hour of boxing cardio and now about to make some…

So annoying, my EV beeps at me every time I yawn and flashed a warning up “Don’t drive tired”. These young programmers… I’m Gen X & work full time, at this point it my life, being sleep deprived & constantly yawning is my main hobby. If I don’t “drive tired” I’ll never be driving anywhere.

It’s impossible for me to pick my 9 fav or influential games. I’ve been gaming on PCs since I was a child. I’ve been able to make a list this small. Anyone else’s favs on there? Closest Nintendo games would have been Phanton Hourglass or any of the Professor Layton.

Asked the lady at the deli counter what the difference is between Greek and Danish feta cheese, said she didn’t know, I said I’ll ask AI! She walked up afterwards and said what did it say? Greek is goats milk (yum), danish cow milk (yuk). We both had a laugh. Good use of AI! Can be for learning!

Tried to sign up to the Dungeons & Dragons website, thought it might be more fun to play than listen to someone else play. Got lost trying to work out how to play online with people. Gave up. Maybe they need to make an app for that.

The USA in the movie Idiocracy makes sense when everything is run by AI and the citizens race to the bottom because you can skip school & use AI to get a job as a Doctor. Thought came about while in an argument with some “influencer” on X about AI. His claim, “AI democratizes creativity”.

Gotta say I’m not enjoying the anime, metrosexual look of Fire Emblem Fortune's Weave. Men mostly look like women and the women are mostly boobs on legs. I’m not the target audience but I would have enjoyed a more realistic ye olde look.
