@realjakebroe.bsky.social is on my Christmas tree this year. My thoughts are with Ukraine again this year as I hope they will again know the peace they have been deprived of these past long years. Thank you to Jake for not giving up the fight; I’m still with you Broe, keep defending the Truth 🎄

(1) The Dart programming language’s “Language Specification” document’s reason for not supporting static method inheritance is insanely stupid:

“…has little utility… Experience shows that developers are confused by the idea of inherited methods that are not instance methods.”

Which developers? 🧐

Bed be lookin’ nice but… with the top of the hour so close, I’m so tempted to hang in there a few more minutes to get credit for the stand goal so it’s one more hour I don’t need to stand “tomorrow” after I’ve woken up 🤔

I was describing Alicia Vikander’s take on Laura Croft in Tomb Raider to someone yesterday and suddenly went “wait, actually, have you seen Tron: Legacy?”

Anyone ever realize that in Disney’s Tangled, Flynn Ryder also achieves his stated dream? “On an island that I own tanned and rested and alone surrounded by enormous piles of money”

… He marries the princess of a rich sunny island castle kingdom. He’s not “alone,” but that’s an upgrade. #Disney

Whenever I see sleazy attempt at driving FOMO, I chuckle to myself and think instead of FOUE - the Fear Of Unmet Expectations.

I have never in my life regretted skipping a “once in a lifetime [insert grift here].”

Just remembered that acronym today for no particular reason. #FOMO #FOUE

I’m a big fan of strategy/tactical board/card games and my favorite one ever (for some time now) has been Napoleon Returns 1815 by Worthington Games…

Too bad the thing is out of stock every time I check. Luckily my friend has it; it’s always my vote to play. Anyhow. Nothing deep here. Just whining

My sister’s sophomore grade’s idea of Secret Santa involved not only a name draft, but an included wishlist…
Back in my day you only got a name: part of the fun was then having a reason to talk to their friends (who may have been outside your group) for help, and having to super sleuth ideas. 🧐

Tuesday is without a doubt the worst day of the week. Monday gets a bad rap. On Monday everyone's got the Mondays; there's a camaraderie there and you've still got the energy of the weekend.

By Tuesday, it's just another day and still pretty far from Friday... #FuckTuesday
