Loving all things geeky, including video gaming (PC), sci-fi and fantasy, and much, much more. I'm the cool nerdy old guy who wishes he had his own computer gaming arcade, with VR. ;-)

This is also an excellent symbolic representation of the current state of U.S. government under Trump 2.0. Life imitates politics.

My favorite part of Zuckerberg's Joe Rogan interview is when he suggests there is not enough masculine energy at his company, where two out of every three employees is a man.

He spent his career kicking the homeless out of NYC and is now begging for Venmo donations. My, my... how the turns table.

Trump promised to lower costs, but his House Republican allies are now demanding he scrap Biden's crackdown on junk fees charged by banks.

These fees cost consumers over $3.5 billion every year.

Once again β€” the GOP isn't the party of working people.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

Don’t call it β€˜The Resistance’ call it β€˜The Rebellion.’

You know how I know this is the better term? Because every time I say it I get 25 trump supporting dudes in my comments who are FURIOUS, claiming that THEY are the Rebellion and not the Empire.

A field of thousands of small galaxies of various shapes and colors on the black background of space. A bright, foreground star with diffraction spikes is at lower left. Near the image center, a tiny white box outlines a region and two diagonal lines lead to a box in the upper right. Within the box is a banana-shaped blob that is blueish-red in one half and distinctly red in the other half. An arrow points to the redder portion and is labeled β€œJADES GS z 14 – 0”.

Most distant object known to humanity.
Found by JWST, JADES-GS-z14-0 is the most distant galaxy ever discovered. It's located 13.6 billion light years from us, and since it takes time for light to travel, we see it as it was only 290 million years after the Big Bang.

Why does People Magazine name a new "Sexiest Man Alive" every year? It doesn't make any sense to name a new one if the old one is still alive. The new one should have to fight the old one to the death. Like Highlander.

A repeat thought, Bluesky, & a Librarian told you this so it must be true 🀣

Audiobooks definitely count as reading (as well as listening). If you've played through an audioook, its perfectly fine to describe that as "I have read [x]"

All other forms of assistive software count as reading too πŸ’™πŸ“š
