We got in and out of Best Buy in 20 minutes today. Needless to say I don't think Black Friday is really a big in-person shopping day anymore.

Black Friday reminder - that product with a great price being sold by a company with a name that's just a bunch of random letters may end up on our website someday because it explodes.

This Jack White / Eminem half time show was better than some of the Superbowl half times.

My favorite genre of music is when an incredible musician brings out another incredible musician and gushes over them. Like get someone who looks at you the way Jack just looked at Eminem

Watching the Nightmare on Elm Street remake and trying to suspend disbelief that you could slap two $10 bills down on the counter at a diner and that would pay for 3 full meals + drinks + tip.

That sure wasn't a problem when I first saw this movie.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Wow, the new Conjuring movie sure starts slow. I'm 30 minutes in and its been all backstory and setup.

But I do love the aesthetic with the corded phones and the betamax camera.

Like in the previous one when Ed Warren lifts a 30 pound camcorder going this is SO LIGHT!!

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

It's super cool that my health insurance had a long phone tree, made me confirm my information 2x and then put me on hold for 5 minutes only to tell me their customer service dept is only open Mon-Fri.

You couldn't have done that at the beginning when the stupid automated lady asked which dept?

I think I put more hours into the Forklift game then I did into the rest of Shenmue. I need this badly.
I should be working on other things but I keep getting distracted by my "the forklift job minigame from Shenmue but an entire game of it" game idea

Been in the game industry 12 years and shipped probably 20+ titles. This is the first thing I've worked on with licensed merch and this is the coolest shit.

"‘Ha ha, bitches, I got a new scooter!’” is the most white man sentence ever. He needs a side kick with a metal detector.
Now THIS????

I manage mostly younger people and the fact I can't tell them they did a good job by screaming YOU ARE CREDIT TO TEAM makes me sad daily.

I cherish every reference they actually get; like a dad who's excited his kid knows a baseball fact.

Proud of this steak today. I love my Le Creuset grill pan, its been my favorite way to cook steaks for about 5 years now.

It's wild what people will say in emails. I wouldn't even text a friend that I rung up organic carrots as regular carrots at the grocery store self check-out and we've got people basically saying "How do you do other pedophiles would you like some photo evidence of our pedophilia here you go!"

I really am 40. We're about to have a windstorm and all I can think is "I hope it blows the leaves into the street so I don't have to rake."

The article linked after this post is one of the most depressing things about education I've read in a while.

No wonder no one can read or understand sentences anymore and Bluesky is 99% people over the age of 35.
ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy
