Pepco really needs to make it clear that you're getting a refund vs. saying "you've got a bill due for a negative amount in 3 days" like its urgent.

The amount is clearly a refund for some reason. Don't make me think I owe more. I already paid that bill

Better late than never: a “live tweet” of my wife playing #TearsofTheKingdom #Zelda

Context: we’re both just side-questing and messing around before Zora domain stuff.

Relatedly, I know Britta Curl is very talented, but could we tone down the hype for her?

She’s got a history of being anti LGBTQ & saying some terrible stuff.

If she’s apologized, great. But for a league that’s about visibility and inclusivity it’s not great

Not gonna lie, basically half the USA Women’s Hockey team for the Olympics being players from the Frost is kind of annoying.

There’s very good players on every PWHL team, records aside, & the lack of NYC, Vancouver or Toronto players is a bit disappointing.

There is a chance she was saying “it’s a real workout walking up this hill” & it came out judgy unintentionally.
There’s an uphill straightaway on part of my morning cardio intervals route. Today, a lady powerwalked past me and I heard her say “you want a real workout & you’re walking up this hill “ in a judging/disapproving tone.

Yeesh. I hope whatever is stressing her out that much gets sorted.

Man, at least push back on your friend's jokes/comments a little John Favreau, even if Tim's ideologically different from you.

(also I get it, jokes dont need to be PC etc. but Jon Stewart's better than saying "there's always 2).
Hey Jon Stewart, jokes about wearing masks aren't funny
Critics of the host say he's a hypocrite.

Just don’t ask me to say more than “hi, how are you? I’m good, and you?” In Spanish and we’re good. 😂

(1 of 2) Ah yes, a 16 minute video on how the Studio Series 86 constructicons aren't great, are deeply flawed and (in the reviewer's opinion) not good as Devastator, especially for the price they were (and will be when thrown in as package refreshes). Yup, dont need that energy.

Have had a peculiar desire to actually play through Pokemon Shining Pearl. Never finished it.

I know people are mad about it because of the art style and it basically being a 1:1 remake of the original without much (if any platinum content), but none of that really bugged me

Got eastward a few years ago for Christmas and there’s definitely a good amount to it that I like.

But holy fuck this part with the miasma is unforgiving

I still don’t understand people who are negative about the Nationals, especially with new management.

I want this team to be good again too, but bemoaning the problem is just beating a dead horse. If the team’s current state annoys you this much than you blocked out 2005-2011

With all due respect to people who work at The Kennedy Center: DAFUQ?

Unless I’m missing something, the Kennedy center wasn’t at risk of “financial ruin and physical destruction” and was surviving.

She 100% has her dad's humor. This cracked me up. Rob's line at the end too. 🤣

We lost a legend of a man yesterday. RIP Rob

It’s nice when a company sends a “thanks for being a loyal customer” email that has the exact same discount as the card that came with my previous orders.

Even with a half-assed video on Transformers X Hot Wheels Bone Shaker going up on Youtube tomorrow, I'm kind of losing any impetus to actually post videos there anymore

I have precisely 2 thoughts on AOTP Bruticus:

1) the stock photos are always shit. Even if he is a bit shorter than we’d all like 2) any height issues & lack of feet will be remedied by someone like DNA Designs.

I’m still in on the set & aiming to get blast-off & brawl in early 2026.

On the TN-07 special election from some random in Maryland .

Yes it sucks that Behn didn’t win outright.

The small gap between her & the Republican guy is remarkable though and is the bigger W. Focus on that

Especially with Nashville being the only part of the district that was gonna go blue.
