The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 10hFriend at work is seeing Digger tonight with his wife. Very curious to hear what their verdict is on this one. 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 20hStill getting campaign texts from Greg Abbott's team. They're gonna raise propert taxes by a millionty-bajillionty dollars! Hey Greg, how many Texans can't afford a fucking house in the first place? 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Failing to execute somebody twice and presumably getting another chance once/if they recover is horror movie, HOSTEL type shit. Holy fuck. 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Raising the price of C4 packs on Amazon again. Fuck it, I'll pick it up in store where it's cheaper. I guess the master strategy here is to keep raising prices indefinitely and hope don't eventually say screw this shit? 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 29/09/2026I finally brushed up on the Cornell case. It's pretty fucking infuriating all around. How can these fucks live with themselves and how can an institution be so utterly useless? Scum all around. 021
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Closing in on the end of Doom: The Dark Ages. I don't think I've really beat anything in a while except for Hades II, and we all know there's no real "end" to that kinda game. Feels good. 010
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 27/09/2026We did teriyaki-pineapple beef short ribs on the Komado Joe Jr. Kept it low, nice and smoky with some chunks of mesquite wood. Sucks not having the fam around. What's the point of cooking if I don't get constant praise over it? 110
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Imagine getting into this much of a tizzy because someone said they didn't know about a song. No idea what "news coverage" of Choosin' Texas they're talking about. I don't listen to the radio because they just take a handful of songs and endlessly play them until I want to bust out my eardrums. 100
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Feels like critics need to do some late mea culpa about liking these shows and I'm pretty tired of it. People liked shows with shitty guys in it, get over it. People still watch and love The Sopranoes and Breaking Bad. I'm tired of the endless therapy session over it www.nytimes.com/2026/09/26/o...nytimes.comOpinion | The Four TV Shows That Heralded America’s FallFour TV shows, now acknowledged as the medium’s high point, each cannily predicted the ways in which America would start to crack apart. 200

The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Bringing iced coffee to a job interview sounds like an entirely made-up thing that never happened outside of a LinkedIn-induced user's fever dream as their brain turns to mush from taking in so much corporate hiring propaganda. 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Another round of NYT voter interviews. My brain cannot take it. No wonder I always feel like an alien. 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Love how your phone randomly downloads apps. Like chatGPT. Ugh. 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I got the email about the price increase from Hulu and I'm just about fed up with it all. Canceled HBO Max, haven't watched anything in ages. They're just gonna keeping doing this shit until it's 30 plus bucks a month, aren't they? 011
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Eh, I'm not feeling so great. I think I'm gonna take Monday and Tuesday off. 010
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Ngl, could have gone right back to bed instead of going in early. 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Wife wants more short beef ribs in teriyaki and pineapple marinade. It was pricey, but hey we get the whole pack to ourselves now. 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The whole not planning meals is backfiring. My wife is just ordering Panda Express every other day. I have failed as a husband. 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 23/09/2026The media not covering Trump is far more of a "they messed with our clique" than it is about any kind of principled First Amendment stand, but regardless it's funny he's just catering around soundlessly like the world's least funny mime. 010
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Been on a friend at work to take a trip, and I like to think I finally influenced him. He's booking an NYC trip next year with his cousin. 010
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Look at this boy. This is what we deal with every single day. 010
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Friday went into the convenience store for a soda and saw some old trucker with a dirty looking Indiana MAGA Movement hat. I was half tempted to ask him how he liked those diesel prices, but you know how it would go. Nu uh, it's not his fault! Ok, sure, dude. Whatever helps you sleep at night. 110
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Gott say, working Sundays now it doesn't make Monday feel like a Monday. It makes it feel like a Tuesday. Tuesday becomes some lost forbidden day. That way, Wednesday is still hump day and Thursday is Almost Friday and Friday is Friday. Got that? 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Got back from watching Resident Evil. Everybody took a big risk here, and it paid off. A movie that's inventive and entertaining and not particularly interested in the classic zombies or the lore of the games. Lotta nods to The Thing! It's easily the best RE movie by a mile. Go see it. 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 20/09/2026So somebody was knocking last night, I didn't answer it, and they left a flyer. It was for Ken Paxton. Apparently, "energy dominance" is a bullet point supposedly in his favor. I'm sorry, what? Are you referring to high gas prices, Ken? Why yes, I'm feeling very dominated by them. Kinda sucks. 110
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 20/09/2026The whole Tillamook thing is another bit of racist astroturf anger by people who were perfectly fine with it before they out a Halal label on it. One lady got into such a tizzy she said she'd buy Amish cheese from now on, to which i say you should get some Amish apple butter while you're at it. 100
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Alarm went off and I was like "Huzzat? Why is my alarm going off...oh yeah, I signed up to work today. Blargh." 001
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Boomstock feels kinda like a bust this year. For starters, the Steam page isn't loading! Not great. A lot of titles admittedly aren't my cup of tea. I feel like we're reaching max capacity for boomshoots. Or at the very least, I have so overloaded my catalog with shooters and I need to play em. 100
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 20/09/2026So I've been trying the playtest for Project Warlock: The Lost Chapters, and ugh it's just not doing it for me. With the original, ill admit it took me a little time to truly get into it, but once I did I was hooked. This...just feels like a pain in the ass. Too narrow, not enough room for fights. 100
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Booked to see Resident Evil tomorrow. Whether I like it or not, looks to be very not boring which would be the worst thing. I checked out of the Milla Jovovich movies after the second one, and Welcome to Raccoon City was so damn boring I stopped watching it after 20 minutes. 100
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I hate to play If Joe Biden Had Done/Said Blank all the time, because I worry about people's blood alcohol level, but three major media outlets being supposedly barred by Trump vs when Biden shit-talked them a little bit and they were all Biden Sounds Like Trump is worth 3 shots at least. 100
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Ramsey Cambell is one of the most prolific authors I've never really gotten into. I tried reading one of his books years back and stopped halfway through. I'm reading The Nameless now and nothing is clicking for me. Maybe I'm not reading his best? 010
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I got like 3 invites can give on Steam, or you can sign up. Feels a bit weird going back to the style of the original after playing the sequel, but they're pushing things as far as they can within the limitations. 010

The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Hahaha. No matter how much infighting there is with the Dems, no how much fuckery they're gonna try, they know people are pissed and they're gonna pay for it. Not every Dem might deserve to win, but I can tell you every one of these shitheels deserves to lose, badly. 15611

The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Found the Kent comb in one of my pockets. Can call the search party off. 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Can't find my Kent comb, might be in some shorts in the dirty laundry. Been using my Tek wooden comb. Ah well, not like I can't get some more. 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Saved a spider from the warehouse today. Pretty sizeable fellow, set him loose outside. I like to think he'll grow to monstrous proportions thanks to me. Not all heroes wear capes. 020
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Welp, getting texts from Dan Patrick's and Ken Paxton's campaigns. KEEPING YOUR CHILDREN SAFE. Safe from the sports. All the sports. Every last one. Even lacrosse. And they're so fucking proud of themselves, too. They are 100% all in on their anti-trans shit. Fuckers. 110
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Watched The Firm last night. Tom Cruise is just so intense looking at everything. It's like he's looking at a breakfast menu so hard he's gonna pop a blood vessel. 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Ugh, I guess it's finally time to do some moderating when it comes to food and drink. Such is life. 010
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Stupid question, but was giving aid to Ukraine unpopular? I don't have a real sense of what people who aren't super plugged into politics thought about it. 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I think the incentives from work will keep up throughout the rest of the year, which would be nice. I'll be tired from the overtime, but I'll have a damn good vacation fund when we go this November. 010
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Been 2 weeks since I turned 40, and I guess I've been distracted by work and stuff to really thinking about it, or rather I'm just throwing myself into things to not think about, depending on your point of view. 000
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Finally went to the indoor pool at the local rec center, and I'll be damned if swimming for an hour didn't feel great. Really need to do this on the regular. 010
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Know I'm late for the party, but 9/11 was not some uniting the country lovefest. It was an excuse for the country to shut its brain off and indulge in its worst impulses, and if you said anything even remotely critical, you were some terrorist loving anarchist. 110
The Man From Rio @themanfromrio.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Occurs to me with the recent Talarico transgender sports bullshit that back when I was a teenager several decades ago, we did inter-gender sparring in Taekwondo all the time it was never any kind of issue, ever. It was just "you and you, go." Nobody ever had a problem with it. Why would they? 010
