I donโ€™t get impatient between videos and I donโ€™t mind if they are shorter. The quality of the content is what matters, and I havenโ€™t been disappointed yet. Having said thatโ€ฆthe abundance of content lately has been fantastic!

E.P.A. Plans to Shut Down the Energy Star Program

Seriously? Fuck these people. This is important information for me as a consumer. Even if I didn't care about the planet, which I do, I'm gonna care about the size of my power bill. This move helps nobody.

Helping my son work on a high school paper about The Reformation. I explained that Luther published historyโ€™s first listicle that went viral.

Iโ€™m still on team Dubas, especially given the mess he inheritedโ€ฆbut I really want to see signs that the team is embracing a real rebuild. Not keen on plugging up the depth chart with more aging veterans instead of pursing assets with potential upside for the future.

Watching The Decline of Western Civilization (1981) and continuing to muse on the fact that all of these people are in their 60s and 70s now.

Also: X is a better band than website.

Ah, yes; the crossover of cat ownership and Costco membership.

My username is a reference to the film cartridge in the novel Infinite Jest. The film is a lethal entertainment so engrossing that is saps the will to do anything else until the viewer dies.

Itโ€™s a little reminder to me about keeping my relationship to social media healthy.

Death and the Maiden (motif) - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_a...

Eggers is probably referencing something specific there, but the general motif is so perfect for this film. The man never misses.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice.

I havenโ€™t played the new, full release but this proof-of-concept was great.

You play within the perspective of a neurodivergent (schizophrenia?) Celtic warrior on a mission into the underworld. The use of audio โ€œvoicesโ€as a gameplay mechanic is brilliant.

The Penguins clearly have a culture of sharing the puck. Haha

This post is extra funny to me because of the one that happened to appear right above it.

Youโ€™re just a little out of step.

The defense has been looking pretty vulnerable too. I know there are some injuries but yikes.

The internet says โ€œAggression is a behavior, while aggressiveness is a personality trait,โ€ but connotatively to my ear โ€œaggressionโ€ sounds like criminal violence and โ€œaggressivenessโ€ sounds like forceful and assertive.

I taught my kids the importance of a proper fat guy/medium guy/skinny guy roster balance, so this post makes me feel like walking ashes.
