You think Starfleet Academy is woke because it has lesbians. I think Starfleet Academy is woke because they just did an episode about recognizing the colonialist attitudes underlying their white savior complex and pivoting to center the experience of a marginalized group instead. We are not the same

I was already pretty sure I saw the end of my 12+ year career in games come to an end, but now it feels certain.
Video game stocks are suddenly crashing today with the launch of Google's Project Genie as investors think games will start magically getting made with AI

Adding getting a lumbar puncture to my list of life experiences.

Gonna watch Spinal Tap when I get home.

One of the few things bringing me joy during my hospital stay is the delighted look on this kid’s face as he greets and accepts gifts from Hoshoryu.

I can now add getting a two hour MRI at 2am to my list of life experiences.

Just when you thought the MRI couldn’t sound more obnoxious, the MRI tells you to hold its beer.

I've been running Linux while at work and really happy that I haven't run into any issues so far. When it just works, it's great and not nearly as distracting as Windows.

It only took months of my partner constantly talking about Linux for me to give it a shot, but I'm pretty sold.

This is the second verse to Utada Hikaru's version of Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence by Ryuichi Sakamoto.

1. Does Captain Picard chill and floss? Is this when he's showing off his archaeology collection? Please, I need to know more.
2. Earl Grey Hot could absolutely work here.

Workday derailed.

I was punching the air watching this. Ura is a perfect pink prince and will always be a winner in my heart.

...even though he ended up losing this one.

I'm not sure why Riker appears in the latest Midnight Sumo intro, but I'm here for it

This feels weird to type but...

I'm a homeowner. We just closed on a cute condo in the Fairmount/Francisville area of Philadelphia. Expect to make the move this spring.

Watching him model this bust was mildly unsettling.
Just updated my web site, which is now 60% more cursed than before!

First day back at work and I had a heavy conversation with my closest coworker who lives in Venezuela. We talked about how neither of us wanted this and shared feelings of uneasiness and frustration.

I braved the winter rains of Southern California for a french onion soup danish.

2026 Hobonichi. This will start my sixth year of daily journaling.

Happy New Year. Due to rain, there was no Rose Parade B-2 bomber flyover to wake me up.
