If everyone just lied like airlines do and overestimated ETAs the world would be a better place.

Every time this process of getting in and out of this venue makes me ask myself “Do I like this artist this much?”

If your partner always remembers to lower the toilet seat. And you really wanna show appreciation or return the favor. If you share a car, start lowering the seat before getting out when you get home. 🚗🤕

Late to this, but really enjoying Dispatch this past week. Forgot how much I’ve missed a well told and executed episodic narrative game. Dispatching is great! Especially talking through who to send on the couch with the fam. Have a couple of episodes left, but trying to… keep up 😭

tfw you think a piece of media is only 16 years old but then you realize that’s just when YouTube started taking off and everyone started uploading their content to it 👴👴👴

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it. (also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary) youtu.be/p71qQKmIGhQ

How did we end up in the timeline where people who don’t know what they are doing make tutorial videos to explain how to do something they don’t know how to do in order to justify doing the task they don’t really want to do in the first place

Okay watching Phantom Planet play California in the Hollywood Cemetery is pretty iconic.

Not to start up the yellow paint discourse again, but nature uses white to guide birds so we aren’t that far off.

Yo, flying in the US is currently the worse it’s ever been. Today I took a flight from Florida to California which had no direct flights so there was a layover in Dallas. When I landed I found out the flight from Dallas to LA got delayed a whole day.

Pro: - every male restroom I’ve entered so far in CA has had a changing table Con: - the height standard for installation does not seem to have been updated to the average male height

Seeing a lot of “Andor is the best SW thing since the OT.” It’s not. It’s the best Star Wars has EVER been. It’s better than Star Wars has any right to be. And the timing of its message couldn’t be any more prescient or poignant.
