Spent my lunch break loitering around Sears at the Mall of America. Trying to decide what the “Sears” is of 2026. There are so many choices.

My research into the Joe Jackson song “Cancer” is running into a road block in that music promoter Joe Jackson died of cancer in 2018.

Ok I am getting sick of all the footballs, everything is shaped like a football and there’s football plates at the store and my pop is football shaped. Big football event is coming, or it came or something I don’t know I’m watching appleTV right now

Today at the movie theatre the goddess Athena caused my daughter to trip and fall, allowing all her pretzel bites to go all over the floor. She scooped them all up but was too grossed out to actually eat them. Yum yum! I’m happy to report I did not transform into a pig.

They build a robot to fix pigs, but why can't they build PIGS that fix ROBOTS??!! As always, the people in charge have it all flipped around.

Biggest miss with the new Eldar Exodites on dinosaurs are the orks packaged with them. Obviously if the elves are riding dinosaurs the orks should be driving Cadillacs.

Chutes and Ladders is probably the best game to teach about parasitic worms. But here, from the safety and comfort of my board game tower, I can’t help but imagine how a True Board Game could be modified.

Cory Doctrow's "Reverse Centaur" analogy leaves a lot to be desired. Should have been "Reverse Robocop". I think we all understand what a Reverse Robocop is vs. the standard kind.

Idea! You combine a data center with a waste treatment plant. The settling ponds would also cool the servers. No extra water used. All the servers smell like feces. Win-win call the google guy I’m going to pitch him first.

Episode 2, Season 2 of Star Trek TNG, “Where Silence Has Lease” is the backrooms in space.

ZekeR @zeker.bsky.social · 02/06/2026
The best way the backrooms could go from a story perspective is the company investigating the backrooms figures out a way to stabilize sections of the backrooms to repurpose for affordable housing.

I finally watched all the backrooms videos yesterday, and wow this stuff is really capturing the zeitgeist. There are backrooms everywhere. I also just finished the first Dungeon Crawler Carl book and the backrooms are even in there a little.

I got my author copies of OBSTETRIX! I loved this cover as soon as I saw it, but the hardcovers look even better in person than I imagined they would.
OBSTETRIX: a pink book that says OBSTETRIX / Naomi Kritzer and has a hypodermic syringe casting the shadow of a crost. In small letters it also says "O Lord, Deliver Us." The hardcover book is in front of a stack of other copies. In the background you can see some of my awards.

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
Watched by Branson Reese 28 Apr 2022

Abrams isn't a man so much as he's an avatar of cultural entropy. If you make something popular enough eventually you will die or sell it off and and a person in thick rimmed glasses whose main artistic vision is that he loves to have meetings will take it and sandblast it until it's nothing. I hate to see this happen here but maybe it's good that this happened. Maybe every franchise should collapse into a version of itself that makes shareholders nod and shake each others' hands. We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend.

There's a new commercial coffee vendor in town and they have a great new invention called "The Barrel." Its a 55-gallon metal barrel with a spigot at the bottom. You open the spigot, and out comes the freshest, hottest, most perfectly brewed black coffee ever imagined. 1/

Fnished my advance copy of @naomikritzer.bsky.social's new novel Obstetrix. A fast-paced read, full of real fully-developed characters and a fully-realized universe surroundes by 20 miles of no-man's-land. Did I like it? I loved it. Here is my good reads review: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

Sometimes trying to decide on a lunch order makes me feel like a ChatBot. "Oh you're right, that is a terrible restaurant. My mistake, I won't suggest them again!' "That's a great restaurant! It has the perfect blend of menu options, as well as excellent overall quality. Let's eat there!"

The biggest failing of the American educational system was that it didn't teach me enough Microsoft Excel. I should have had to write every report, every essay, and design every art project solely in Excel. Then I would have been ready for corporate America.

So far, the most infuriating area of AI infiltration into my daily life is youtube video summaries. I still get told at work that no one wants to read anymore. Youtube wants to turn videos back into blogs! We had those already youtube, they were called blogs.

Do you like surplus Italian work shoes? This is the most insane vendor spec sheet I've ever had to work with. Had to scan the sheet of the boots I wanted using Google Lens on my phone, timing it just right to grab the right model before it switched to the next frame. www.blucity.info/blucity

I had to look a quote up in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and found out that my fingers still knew how to spell Zaphod Beeblebrox. Some much current information finds no purchase, but Zaphod will alway be in there. Truly a hoopy frood for all time.
