Thanks Spotify. I know my music taste can't be defined since I have none. I'd like to know which genres I missed.

I watched about 10 minutes of Friends over 20 years ago and still feel the shame.
I had no idea Friends was still such a *thing*. Do the babies protesting about it leaving Netflix know you can buy the complete series on DVD for £35, which is a few months' Netflix sub?
I won’t be there for you: Friends leaves Netflix – and outrages fans
After a decade, millennials’ favourite comfort watch is dropping off the streamer, prompting threats of cancelled subscriptions. But will it really vanish?

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Completely understandable. Have you seen Weyland-Yutani's prices?
Fun fact: For the movie Alien, they actually used a man in a practical suit because the studio was unable to afford a real Xenomorph.

Oof. I applied for a legal name change four months ago and just got an email from the government that it could take four more months due to "high volume of requests". 😢

The whole idea of Black Friday is kinda suspect when things are now 30% off but they happen to be the same price as two weeks ago.

I bought a new PC last week. The old one had Windows seven on it until I was forced to move to Win 10 so I could play games.
I can't buy Win 10 anymore so I installed Ubuntu. All the Windows games I've tried so far work fine under Linux.
Window 11 can pound sand.

A 640HP Hyundai with a selectable drift mode is cool but for that price I'd take an Audi RS3.
Pricing and range figures have not been announced yet for the U.S.-bound Hyundai Ioniq 6 N, though we expect it to cost around $70,000.

The electric performance sedan is a stunner, but that might not be enough to attract a lot of buyers.

I love Canadian tact. Chucklehead is the American ambassador to Canada who happens to be a proud bigot.
So far, the fundraiser has raised ~$4500 in direct donations. All to support the work of Rainbow Railroad (www.rainbowrailroad.org)
I've also sold 76 Chucklehead mugs, 29 shirts, 15 tote bags, and 12 stickers.
100% of the profits also going to RR.
