Finally got around to printing a mount for my GameCube. I put a GC Loader in it years ago and have been slumming it without a proper mount until now. image

I don't understand how people's heads didn't explode in 1990 watching Twin Peaks. How did this show ever get made and gain mass appeal? I like it a lot, but it took me a couple episodes to get into it, and I've had the benefit starting it in 2025 vs. coming in unprepared.

Sony, if you are listening, please take a page out of Apple's playbook and bring back the Xbox 360 "Blades" theme on the PS5. Really rub this shit in Microsoft's face today. image

Saying that Apple's Liquid Glass looks like Windows Vista isn't some kind of own. Yeah, Vista ran like shit for most people, but it did look cool. I miss Aero. This flat, sterile, minimalist look can't die fast enough.

I'm just now learning that there were movies on vinyl. Enthusiasts claim that the video is warmer, more natural, and more authentic than digital formats like 4K UHD.

My meshtastic node found another node over 200 miles away. I don't know how, because my range has been fairly limited and I have a lot of trees obstructing things. Wild stuff.

You take any of the photos from the LA riots, add some filters and then slap a parental advisory sticker on it and you have a solid 90's rap album cover.

Alright. Its high time I sit down and figure out what happened to that Laura Palmer chick.

There's one topic that liberty leaning folks refuse to shut the fuck up about - and they should shut the fuck up about it for their own benefit and basically everyone else's - and Peter Schiff just Leroy Jenkins'ed it. Unbelievable.

The Tech Right vs. Populist Right is going to be interesting, and I'm all here for it.

Yeah, but the Big Beautiful Bill also includes buying Greenland right? That's why it's so big?

I see a well thought, well articulated post, and my internet-poisoned brain instinctively wants to respond with "Grok is this true?" just to be a dick. I can't help it.

I made a heartfelt confession to my wife last night. For the past couple of weeks she's been going to bed early so I've been left to my own devices. I started rewatching old WWF Attitude era episodes. We're going to work through this, as a family, for the children.

I hate the phrase "everything has tradeoffs." Option A is shit, Option B is shit, and someone pops out of the woodwork, hoping yo sound profound, handwaving away that both options actually suck, but one (reluctantly) has to be picked. "Everything has tradeoffs" is not a ringing endorsement of anything.

Is there really a difference between a story written by committee and a story written by AI?

Immigration and assimilation into a relatively homogeneous population is funny thing after several generations. You're left with people who become the population they assimilated into, but still carry a foreign last name. Most know nothing about their ancestral culture or tongue, but they still carry the last name.

So the Dr. Who fans are melting down in my timeline. I have zero interest in the show. I tried to watch it years ago when it was allegedly good and thought it was dumb. But anyways, the Dr. Who fans are proving my theory right that we'd all be a lot happier with AI writing our shows.

Playing through Halo 5, which I've had forever but never played. I'm not hating it as much as I hated 4. I don't know if that's high praise or not, but so far its fine.
