The white Tron: Ares vinyl, side D, being played amongst various Halloween ceramics and led lights. The album jacket sits nearby, face up.

Hey, it’s my first Nine Inch Nails album, and of course, it’s for Tron. Also, the spooky decor is out. #nin #nineinchnails #tron #tronares #vinyl #musicsky #flynnlives

I think there’s a value in the normalcy that corporate sponsorship and recognition brings. But in light of how empty some of those promises of support are, this feels accurate.

An Audio Technica turntable and the vinyl album Leben by Schiller.

Much easier to obtain Schiller’s album Leben (Life) on vinyl then if I still lived in the States. This one’s also a nostalgia hit for me. #schiller #vinyl #musicsky

A screenshot of the audiobook version of Robert Jordan’s The Great Hunt at chapter 16.

Partway into my favorite Wheel of Time book, The Great Hunt. This is the first time I’m revisiting the whole series after my read-through years ago. So much detail and foreshadowing. #robertjordan #wheeloftime #wot

Another place we’ve intended to visit since the move, checked. The Giant’s Causeway is a stunning place and a fantastic hike. #giantscauseway #northernireland #ireland @saponix.bsky.social

Nearly 3 years of living in #Donegal and we finally visited Grianán of Aileach. Fort was nice. View was everything. With @saponix.bsky.social

The beat goes on. I am 7 years a heart attack survivor today. Every moment since feels like a bonus life.

No. The rest of the democratic world is looking at the US with grave concern, and making plans to counter the erratic actions of its president, if needed. Decades of trust shattered in months.

It’s a been a wonderful day to celebrate 46 orbits around the sun. Happiness is sometimes a run on the dunes with your family. ❤️ #ireland #donegal #frenchbulldog

Lorraine you say?

Nintendo Delaying Switch 2 U.S. Pre-Orders Due To Tariffs And Market Drop Things are evolving quickly. Nintendo has just announced that it will be delaying the planned April 9 pre-order date for the Switch 2 in the United States.

Are higher-priced Nintendos an impeachable offense?

A large space freighter in front of a white star and near a planet in the space simulation game No Man’s Sky.

A small spaceship with rainbow engine trails flies towards a large freighter in the space simulation game No Man’s Sky.

Over a month of resetting later, I got my S-class monster freighter. Can now do expeditions without fear the encounter will go missing. It’s a beaut! #nomanssky #hellogames #rng

VOYAGER TRAJECTORIES TURNTABLE SLIPMAT • Gold on high-quality black felt • NASA/JPL-Caltech diagram of the Voyager spacecrafts' trajectories across the solar system Orders ship within 2-3 business days Customers with shipping addresses out...

I got it as part of the Golden Record box set from Ozma Records, though they sold it separately. Sadly seems out of print now. ozmarecords.com/products/voy...

A blue vinyl record sits on a modern style turntable.

A slip mat showing the path of the Voyager space probes sits on a modern turntable.

I’m not sure why, maybe nostalgia from listening to records on a suitcase player as a kid, but it feels very grown up to have a proper turntable. Also, my slip mat is awesome. #vinyl #musicsky #lofi

The food variety in London is fantastic. Even a favorite from Japan to enjoy. #cococurry #cocoichibanya

Seems familiar

YouTube video by tarnationsauce2 Worf gets DENIED again and again on Star Trek TNG.

15 minutes of Worf getting shot down. Classic.

I am so ashamed of the United States right now. Hoping Europe and others can step up where the US has so completely failed. 🇺🇦

The ocean liner SS United States is towed at sea to become an artificial reef. February 2025.

This picture of the SS United States is hauntingly beautiful. I suppose life as a reef isn’t the worst fate. But, is the gradual decay and loss of the ship a metaphor for the country’s current state? Maybe.

That’s a familiar word in this part of the world. They’d concur btw.

Also, I guess those big guns would help if the whole gentle thing fails…

I hope for a day where we can have about 4 freighter companions in our little fleet for at least cosmetic purposes.

Collectible figure Transformers MP-60 Ginrai on a shelf.

The world could use Optimus Prime right now. “Be strong enough to be gentle,” as Peter Cullen’s brother said when he took the job to voice him. Yes, I know this figure is technically Ginrai, but the og version came to the US as the first Prime I owned, a Powermaster. #transformers #optimusprime

A large freighter in the space simulation game No Man’s Sky.

No Man’s Sky has given me an encounter with the Imperial Star Destroyer, I mean, freighter, of my preferred configuration. The reset hunt for S-class is proving lengthy. I will have it though. #nomanssky #rng

As NASA may be a bit, shall we say, unreliable for the next 4 years at least, happy to have the ESA doing the good, sciencey work in space for all.

Over 20 years since I last visited. Times have changed, and new things are everywhere. Still looking beautiful Prague. #prague #travel

Another game in the backlog complete. Challenged me as my twitch reflexes are somewhat nonexistent. Wordless storytelling was lovely. #hyperlightdrifter #gamingbacklog
