Much funnier in my mind than in reality. Fan of sci-fi and mysteries and almost all kinds of music. Long-suffering fan of the Baltimore Orioles, Dallas Cowboys, and Miami University RedHawks.

Why is the @bsky.app Discover feed mostly made up of accounts I already follow? I have previously discovered them, which is why they’re in my Following feed. Seems like the algo needs a tweak or something.

Spotify Wrapped 2025 Top 5 Songs. Once again, nothing but Scalzi.

Spotify Wrapped 2025 Top 5 Songs. Once again, nothing but Scalzi.

Second year in a row that @scalzi.com sweeps my #SpotifyWrapped as Top Artist. Should I go for three or do I need to expand my musical horizons?

Not surprised. They’re just not good at names. See β€œS’mores Oreos” instead of β€œS’moreos.”

I feel like we should refer to him as The Andrew Formerly Known as Prince, but I don’t want him associated in any way with the One True Prince.

All is not lost, but it’s probably sitting right next to the thing I can never find when I need it.

It did! Well, at least to SW Ohio. It played at every @miamiuniversity.bsky.social home hockey game back in the day.

Hope your procedure goes smoothly and you have a quick recovery. Also, are there books in the hospital gift shop? Maybe ask a nurse how you can get one?

Walkoffs are great and all (especially since they were one out away from being no-hit tonight) but I’d rather the @orioles.com just be winning outright by the 3rd inning or something tomorrow. Can we make that happen please?

It’s probably for the better that we don’t know and will never find out.

Story of my life. Although there’s never anyone around to witness my struggle or to help. I end up either climbing the shelves or going without.

Wore my lucky shirt to the @orioles.com game yesterday and they won!

I just wish I had discovered it was my lucky shirt in April and not about 3 weeks ago. πŸ˜†

Hate fire sales. When I said the @orioles.com needed pitchers, I didn’t mean at the expense of the rest of the team! Gonna miss seeing Mullins, O’Hearn, Laureano, & Urias take the field. Kittredge too.

We might as well trade the Oriole Bird while Elias is at it and be completely done for the year.

As you may have guessed by *waves helplessly*, Americans collectively have the memory of a goldfish. Many can’t remember what happened last week, let alone what the history of the Red Scare or Cold War was. I have a feeling many would be amazed red means Communism everywhere else in the world.

Even if this is unintentional ad placement, this is still some magnificent next level trolling by @msnbc.com.

I finally have caught up, and now have my PhD in #SYMHC! It’ll be kinda weird not listening to Holly and Tracy all day, everyday.

Guess it’s time to catch up on some other podcasts while I wait for new #MissedInHistory episodes to drop.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

50/50 how this goes.

I know it’s Amazon and I shouldn’t be surprised, but way to mess up Goodreads Reading Challenges. I’ve read 1 book for 2025 but it’s counted twice because it’s pulling from both Goodreads and Kindle with no way to edit.

Good thing I also have @thestorygraph.com to track my reading more accurately.

10 killed, dozens injured on Bourbon Street in New Orleans as car plows into crowd Multiple people have been killed near the intersection of Bourbon Street and Iberville Street. The New Orleans Police Department says β€œa car may have plowed into a group of people.”

Woke up to a text from my friend who is in #NewOrleans about her being okay and just thought she meant recovering from her family’s NYE shenanigans. I wish it had been what she meant.

This is terrible news.
