When setting an alarm on one's phone, a pop-up should warn you if the volume on the alarm is currently muted.

Just saw two women in the Walmart parking lot, side-by-side on mobility scooters, make the same 90-degree turn simultaneously and it looked like the mobility scooter version of synchronized swimming.

Been a fan of Frank's podcast for a long time, but just learned of its curative powers. My old car had malfunctioning MP3 player. Wasn't able to play music for weeks & tortured by bad radio. Then tried replacing MP3s with entire library of Frank's podcast & it's working again! Rescued from radio!

@kimjustice.bsky.social Watched this video today about Dump Matsumoto video games that seems like it might be of interest to ye!

I wonder if McDonald's is trying to tell us something by using Brian Cox, the first on-screen Hannibal Lecter, as the voice of their commercials.

I'll admit I kind of blew it this weekend when I led those protests due to mistaking Free Comic Book Day for Free Cormac Book Day.

Saw Herb Alpert on the street and yelled an insult. Creep turned and growled "you must have brass balls." "Yeah," I quipped. "Tijuana brass." Now I'm in some kind of underground holding cell surrounded by men in balaclavas.

Went to post office. Facing exit, 2 newspaper vending stations. One's empty, other dispenses Falun Gong propaganda publication. Every headline about the evil of collaborators with China & the glorious justice of Trump trade policies. Propaganda filling void left by collapse of journalism in the USA.

Just saw the Mountain Dew ad with a CGI seal with Seal's face on it singing "Kiss From a Rose" and, despite having no emotional connection to the singer or song, found it incredibly depressing.

Pachelbel's Canon: if there's a canon in the living room in Act One of your movie, it has to go off by Act Three.

@frankmyoung.bsky.social some authentic roots music for you

Pete Hegseth's next base renaming to own the libs: Fort Hitler, in honor of Joe Hitler, a Marine Corps potato peeler from the Spanish-American War.

@shura.gg -- Just watched a video about old Japan-only PlayStation games and one of them was an action-adventure game featuring a protagonist named Shura. Thought you might get a kick out of it. (Discussion of that game starts at the 9:28 mark.)

A petty issue, perhaps, but I hate the current TurboTax ad campaign which makes a concerted effort to normalize "taxes" as a singular noun. I understand being overly precious about language can seem elitist, but I'm repulsed by this phony attempt to appear casual and relatable. youtu.be/mcsj0ivtRvo

It's crazy, these pompous, phony names people are giving their kids these days to make them out to be little future superstars. Today I got a call from an idiot named Potential Spam.

We all have potential, kid. You're nothing special.

I see YouTube ads for "The Penguin" & it looks like a parody. Why am I supposed to want to watch "The Sopranos" remade with DC corporate IP (or Scorsese, in the case of "The Joker")? Are we going to get Kieslowski's "Three Colors" trilogy, with each installment focused on one of the Powerpuff Girls?
