I was really hoping for “explosion” there at the end.

Somehow Trump returned

I never thought of using tomatos as a way to explore the themes of gender and sexual identity, but there might be something there…

I love the gremlin design. The one eye, goofy but fierce smile, batty elements, sound effects, etc. hope this isn’t the last of them.

I used android auto daily, but it has become a lot less reliable. It about 50-50 on whether it will actually start up on the car or not. Car firmware has stayed the same so Google broke something.

My brother has the same phone and cannot get it to work anymore at all. I would not be surprised if part of the drop is just due to software bugs.

So we can ban content that is claimed to be harmful to minors but not weapons that actually kill children…

Plot and pacing seem really slow and it has yet to give me a reason to keep watching. I’ll give it one more since the tease at the end seems meaningful, but I’m not feeling hopeful.

Despite all the effort spent prosecuting it, there’s virtually no concrete evidence that retail theft — organized or otherwise — is on the rise. Data on retail theft provided to law enforcement and lawmakers comes exclusively from corporate retailers, or organizations funded by them, and is not independently vetted. Last year, the National Retail Federation was forced to retract its claim that organized retail theft cost its members “nearly half” of the $94.5 billion in lost inventory in 2021. One researcher put the actual figure closer to 5%.

Binged the first two episodes. It’s about 33% funny and enjoyable, 33% infuriating, and 33% nails on a chalk board. If the setup wasn’t so stupid, the mains were not such push overs, and the arguments were toned down a touch I would like it better, but as it is… looks like they are either going to gaslight each other into a relationship or endlessly bicker and neither is for me.

What did the fish say when it hit the wall?

Dam

What do you call a cow with two legs?

Lean beef.

What do you call a cow to no legs?

Ground beef

I misread that as TikTok banning looming and spent far too much time wondering what looming is. Some sort of viral textile meme …

If nothing else, the next four years should be one hell of a puppet show.

Tales from mage support:

Mage: how can I help you

Lord: I was scrying local ladies when all the sudden my crystal ball started screaming that I have the pox and need to throw 100 gold under the bridge to cure it.

Mage: … tell me you didn’t throw gold under the bridge

Lord: …

Mage: …

Lord: so anyway you repollished the crystal last week so this is your fault. Fix it.

The tavern scene with side character reminiscent of some one from the real world gave me a sort of Wizard of Oz vibe, which is how I realized the Wizard of Oz was an isekai… It does seem likely this will all resolve as having been essentially a dream.

Hopefully now that we are passed the intro and her usefulness is proven to the team the show can develop past the generic monster of the day formula.

As much as I loved the first episode I hated the second. The fourth wall breaking was fine once, maybe twice, then horribly annoying. None of the “comedy” landed for me, especially when it all derives from the girl desperately trying to escape from a cage with everyone around her seeming working against her. Hopefully the next episode will be better.

It’s not a real mustang unless it was born and bred in Mustang, Oklahoma. Others are just sparkling horses.

I loved D2 and yes D3. But 4… I’ve tried to play it twice and gave up. It is just such a giant expanse of soul sucking nothing that I’ve not been able to find any “fun” in the game.
