I just did a double take at my locks reen bc I saw November and was like "no, that's gotta be wrong."

My brain and body are still back in July. August at the latest.

I know they aren't up there with bands like the Beatles but for the genre and timeframe they can't be beat.

Saw someone talk about bands with the best 3 album run and I wanna nominate Fall Out Boy.

From Under the Cork Tree, Infinity on High, and Folie a Duex; those 3 albums might have one skippable song across them and I don't know which it would be.

I’ve been obsessed with No Man’s Sky since the update with corvettes.

Honestly waiting so long to revisit it makes me sad bc I’m loving the community expeditions. I could have done 17 other ones that I never heard about! Why did no one tell me?! 😢

Brother's in the hospital, mom is making it about herself, plus I got denied by the unemployment and disability offices; this might be my worst week ever. 😭

Fuck this week

I just had a recruiter call about a "hybrid" position that's in-office Mon-Thurs... We had that in the past and called it a flex day. Hybrid should be half home / half office.

Corporate America is giving us an Arnold Palmer that's 80/20 and acting like we are the problem. But WORDS HAVE MEANING.

I've been a paying Xbox customer since the 360 Elite came out and fixed most of the RROD issues... and I just canceled my GamePass Ultimate sub bc no way is it worth $30 a month.

I guess I'm all in on PlayStation again, like back in the PS2's glory days.

Accidentally lost the whole day on No Man’s Sky. As someone that bounced off it at launch I gotta say… it may be a decade “late” but it’s finally what I hoped it could be.

Congrats to the folks at Hello Games for hanging in there and never giving up on it. Now I gotta try it in VR 🤓

I think it's a beef between the people who are proud to be called nazis / fascists and the ones who try their best to hide it?

So I'm terms of rap beef... Maybe like ICP vs K0rn? 🤣

Tomodachi Life across the board for all four.

I just saw there was a new Tomodachi Life announced and now I'm stoked about the recent Nintendo Direct.

Virtual Boy was getting me there. Pokemon ditto game is a yes. But I need more TL in my life.

Don't invest too much time in the base building mechanics. Supporting and protecting settlements can become the entire game

So a gun advocate died protecting our right to shoot whoever we disagree with? Way to stand on business I guess.

I left the house today... It's been almost four weeks so I had to really work myself up to do it and not extend the timeline even further.

Sent some mail to peeps and got some breakfast. And now to nap bc I'm exhausted. 🙈

I haven't posted anything in weeks bc every time I look at the news or my feed, I get overwhelmed and lay back down.

My cats are happy the weather is cooling off though. We can get some extra good cuddles going soon.

Waking up is hard to do 😭

Every time I think #GameChanger has hit peak funny, the next episode hits me even harder than the last.

The election debate themed "Outvoted" was perfectly cast and an absolute spot of joy in an otherwise pale week. Thanks @dropout.tv I needed a laugh today 🫰

There used to be more places open all night... I miss wandering Meijer when insomnia is winning the good fight. Or having a few choices of diners.

What do third-shift folks even do on days off nowadays?

Oops I stayed up all night reading... And I just fixed my damn schedule again too. 🙈

Installed iOS26 beta today and wow it's ugly... What are they doing at the big spaceship? This sucks. I might downgrade

I think most folks should try Proton. It's a solid service by a good company and their services keep growing in awesome ways.

I pay a little for the plus version and get things like cloud storage, password management, and VPN all bundled.

Me? Oh I'm just writing a bulleted list of my reasons to live at 330am.

So far I have 3-4, and the biggest of them are my cats. Probably best I don't do a pros and cons list 🤣

Finished all the nightmare levels and finding all the secrets in them. And somehow it's 4am?! Coulda sworn it was 9 or 10 an hour ago...

The nightmare update for Crime Scene Cleaner is so good. The levels are remixed to feel like a bad dream and have so much more to do.

It's been a bright spot for me in an otherwise shitty, migraine filled week of storms and pressure systems.

Amazon requiring some employees to prove AI use to receive promotions According to sources, several Amazon units, including Ring and Blink, now require employees to demonstrate their AI usage when applying for promotions, with...

I had this requirement in my last two jobs that ended in layoffs. One a startup and the other a big US-based retailer. Execs wanna let go everyone possible instead of actually fixing shit.

As an old punk kid who doesn't look the part anymore, I love that Superman made the case for kindness being the real punk rock ethos. Because it's true.

We were outsiders who took in misfits and weirdos. We had each other's backs regardless of taste or style. We looked hard but cared harder.

I got that summertime

If these things have helped you in any way, shape, or form, I'd love to see ya investigate a real Buddhist practice somewhere.

There are zendos and temples / hermitages all over the place, and most have recordings online or over Zoom. Look them up, see which ones speak to you, and check them out!

One of the sad things I've encountered via therapy this year is how picked apart Buddhist thought / culture is by modern folks.

Mindfulness is taken out of context. Self-compassion is ripped out of the larger story of no-self / empty-self. Meditation should involve guard rails and a teacher. Etc.
