I’m just here to hang out. TV, games, movies & the Sixers. Pretty good at writing software.

No! Or if I have I don’t remember it but this seems like a song that I don’t think anyone forgets

Insane that I never got into Bob Seger in my early 20’s

How have I never heard this before? How do I still have so many blind spots?

Just listened to Night Moves for the first time ever.

It’s such a perfect story, it really should be enough to hold all of us over forever, I know it will for me

It’s still so weird to me that people aren’t just annoyed, but mad, actually mad about the Eagles. I’m still coasting off the good vibes of the Super Bowl, I thought we all would be still!

Coffee is the ultimate former alcoholic drink. You can pay a guy $18 to make a fancy version of it right in front of your bloodshot eyes, or you can buy one in a gas station for a buck and a half while slowly crying to "Night Moves" because you just need to feel something again

Same 80's filter despite being set in the 50's & they're doing the soldiers fight monster gimmick by sending them into the House on Neibolt Street?

Just realized that a bunch of babies on the free folk subreddit are 100% going to try to generate the “real” ending to Thrones using this shit

Despite early, and familiar, copyright growing pains, Sora may be the prelude to AI-generated on-demand TV and movies

After being tasked & succeeding with writing a whole new web app for our C Suite using a front end framework I hadn’t written in (React) I’ve now been tasked with moving a bunch of configs from our dbs to an AWS tool I’ve never used. My yearly review will go great but god at what a cost to my sanity

Man, why the fuck am I watching this by myself this late at night? I’m about to wake my wife up

The ghost of a woman, dressed all in black, stands among some reeds by a river, standing still and watching.

An old Taurus rattles by my front porch. Headlights flashing between the gaps of tightly parked street traffic. "You're dragging. It's OK. Not quite my tempo." I say blandly, but there's a tinge of annoyance in my voice. An F-350 roars by at 80mph. I raise my fist up sharply. "Nope. You're rushing."
