NYC is more diverse than most people on the internet can understand from all the media. We have swans under moonlight

I'm now going to seek a small toy figure at McDonald's instead of working to take action on the serious topics of the day, because I care for a family member with dementia and I don't have the spoons to focus on any more problems than I already have, my 🧠 resources drained; I'm part of the problem.

My apologies to those streamers I'm still supporting on Twitch but I'm cancelling all subs I have remaining, as I don't like how #Twitch is handling my data on its platform.

"Something to keep in mind. If you chat in someone else's stream that hasn't opted out of gen ai training then your chat can be used for training. EVERYONE NEEDS TO OPT OUT! <3" with a screenshot explaining what content Twitch seems to deem eligible for their automatically opted-in by default generative AI use.

Except for Tallguy Messyhair in front of us the whole film (I hate theaters) @spidermanbra.bsky.social #BrandNewDay is a must-see. Great movie. No reservations. And, we didn't realize we booked in 3D 🕶 - the 3D was done well too! Spidey-goodness all around

I'm seeing the new 2026 Ghost in the Shell anime series on Amazon Prime causing similar arguments btwn fans of the manga vs the 1995 anime movie as those #Shadowrun TTRPG fans have about Pink Mowhawk vs Black Trenchcoat. The manga & new anime are more pink* 😂 Fans of the 1995 Oshii-style are mad

The 7-ELEVEn "Japanese-style Egg Salad Sandwich" is supposed to be delivered "FRESH & CHILLED" - not squishy-warm🤮 after being packed on top of hot food. bsky.app/profile/ugep...

The USA 7-11 "Japanese-Style Egg Salad Sandwich" is $5.49 (NYC), while in Japan it's less than $1.50 This is why it works in Japan and won't work in the USA.

I was looking at Drake's FunnyBones cakes and scrolled down to "You Might Also Like" and I'm not sure who's more confused here. Me, the seller, or the snake 🐍 Also, seriously, nothing in the account history accounts for these suggestions🥴 (WTF Amazon)

"Breaking" America with rocks & stones Also, separately, huge new single-family home developments in Florida, Texas, and more are *rentals* - no path to home ownership; not that the ability to afford a new home is possible for many more new families than ever before due to stagnant wages 1/2

...this isn't what I got from any of the Pokopia advertising I've seen. If there's more story in the game about all this than I've seen in promo's then I'd actually be interested in the game. Credit - @GabrielWars #Nintendo #Switch #Pokopia

(text auto-converted from image) Fun Facts About the New Pokémon Game Called Pokopia

1 As far as we know, the entire human race has been wiped out. and there are no more humans left in the world.

2 The protagonist is a Ditto who became so attached to its former trainer (who apparently died) that it decides to permanently take on his form.

3 Its mission is to rebuild the world for the Pokémon that survived and uncover what caused the end of humanity.

4 There are unique variations of Pokémon that have
changed because of what they've been through
Example: There's a Pikachu that no longer has electricity because it used up all its energy to save other Pokémon, leaving it permanently without electric powers.

5 As a Pokémon yourself, you can talk directly to other Pokémon and understand exactly what they think, want, or need.

6 There's even a friendship system: The more you help a Pokémon (by doing quests or solving problems), the stronger the bond with it becomes.

A post-apocalyptic Pokémon story was the last thing I expected from the franchise.
