OK, so hear me out: A #SocialMedia start-up, but it's literally just a #BBS board. But we call it something cool and have a logo with lots of gradients. And I dunno, it uses #Markdown or something. The kids like Markdown, right?

ME IN 2015: It's cool that I can download and stream digital movies without having to keep a collection of bulky physical media around. I wonder what the next exciting development in #DigitalMedia will be
ME IN 2025: *Going back to collecting #DVDs because I'm sick of streaming companies' bullshit*

Working away with my 30 kg pitbull mix lying on my lap like he's Ernst Blofeld's cat, a hot cup of coffee, and snow falling outside. Life could be worse.

I love that #DriveThruRPG gives idiots like me a way to merge the like, thirty-seven different accounts they accidentally created with different email addresses into something more manageable.

Is somebody maintaining a wiki or something of all the crazy stuff that's been going on in the US? Because there's so much of it that it's impossible to keep track.
Authorities have made an arrest in connection with pipe bombs that were planted outside the headquarters of both the Democratic and Republican parties in DC in 2021, according to reports.
Arrest reportedly made in attempted pipe bomb attack in lead-up to January 6 US Capitol riot

#TheBatman (2022) remains my favorite #Batman movie ever, largely because it makes it obvious that Bats is a total freaking lunatic. He's basically two very small steps away from being #KickAss.
That and an exasperated Penguin going on a rant about Spanish grammar.

Husband popped up to the bank and, long story short, I now have a 30 kg dog standing on top of me, licking my face and beating me about the head with his tail, because I am clearly not treating this development with the seriousness it warrants.

I missed all the buzz around #Daggerheart. Is it anything exciting as a game system, or is it just that the #CriticalRole guys are associated with it?
Seriously asking.

ME: I speak English plus a little French, Russian, and Spanish. Most European languages have enough similarities to at least one of those that I'm fairly confident that I can at least order a coffee, figure out the way to the airport, and identify major landmarks.

Gonna see if third time will be the charm for playing through #BorderlandsThePresequel without my account resetting and eating my save file 2/3 of the way through. Otherwise, I swear to god I will delete it and spend the rest of my life seeking revenge on #Gearbox.
