100% completion but that’s a lie of course because there are still secrets to plumb from this gem. To me, a perfect game. Felt so good to play. My final build was so fun that when I beat the final boss with a 97% completion I was too happy to go tie up loose ends just to get to play the build more.

SILKSONG GOOD

I caught a water leak dripping from the ceiling of our maintenance closet before it caused any major damage and I feel invincible

Exact same thing happened with Beau is Afraid. Apologies to Mr. Aster, I did really love Hereditary when I finally watched it this year

Last night my viewing of Eddington got interrupted around the halfway mark and I have no real desire to finish it out

Longlegs goods

Watching videos on the app is miserable. Most videos freeze up halfway through with no way to unfreeze without refreshing and thus restarting the video. Trying to fast forward back to where the video froze often causes the same freeze up. Then sometimes the video just crashes entirely. It just sucks

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

NEW: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to an aid program.

Yearning for the days of Myspace Tom. He never let me down

This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back.

You take the veggie pizza - the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe.

You take the supreme pizza - you stay on Lego Island and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

Started a Penny Dreadful rewatch and so relieved that early season 1 still holds up

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Getting my two dogs to play tug of war with the same toy like it’s an infinite money glitch

This may seem cute but if you do this too much the cyclists may become reliant on cars feeding them, disrupting the delicate roadway ecosystem

It’s a little thing but walking my two lovely dogs does make the world feel just the slightest bit better

if Jimmy Kimmel's political humor is too hot for you to handle, I'm not sure "snowflake" even cuts it as a term of derision for the level of fragility you've achieved

The F1 movie doing so much work to assure audiences that what’s happening on screen is, in fact, very cool

I miss my puppy! And my non puppy dog as well!!

Of course, at the time I was watching Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning Part One with no audio or subtitles, so who am I to judge his movie watching strategy?

An older gentleman on my flight today watched three whole movies by skimming through them with the 10 second fast forward button. He would scan around for an interesting looking scene, watch for anywhere between 5 seconds to like 1 minute, then keep fast forwarding for a new scene to watch part of.

Oh no the YouTube algo somehow discovered I’m watching ER! I’ve been so careful not to look up scenes while logged in. Now that it knows I watch those videos it’s just a matter of time before it puts a late series dramatic death scene on my homepage. I can’t know the dark fate of Dr. Romano yet!’

After a great session of #dnd one of my friends inevitably asked me: Did we level up? So I put it to a vote, requiring a majority of the table to agree that they had earned a level up. The vote failed 2-2. Tonight, after another great session, the vote passed 3-1 and they got to level 11.

I gotta tell the papers!!

I Have It.

Sony is hiding the Silksong from me, personally

Well of course all of the shops are a little buggy right now, Silksong just dropped!

I love my puppy :)

Chicago sees fewest summer murders since 1965, even as Trump cites high crime The Chicago Police Department’s criminal homicide tally for June, July and August is the lowest in 60 years. And overall violent crime remains near its lowest point in more than four decades.

The deployment, and threats of the National Guard, come as a @wbez.org analysis has found that a three-month summer span saw the fewest murders in 60 years in Chicago while overall violent crime remained near its lowest point in at least four decades — from @chipmitchell1.bsky.social
