Not to mention, other than change the logo and the name of the app, nothing has actually changed. All the links on the website are still directed to twitter-named links. Hell, even if you go to x.com it redirects you to twitter.com.

Anecdotally, before the Musk takeover and promise to get rid of bots, I had maybe a total of 5 of them start following me in 10 years. Since the “crackdown” I get at least 3 a week.

My adblocker takes care of those, but what really gets me about giz et al. is when you scroll down through the comments, as soon as the header of the next article comes up, the url changes. Sometimes I’ll close the tab prematurely, but when I reopen the closed tab it goes to the new article and I can’t be assed to go…

I need the opposite--Pull up cabinets for the lowers!

NBC almost assuredly will be out of the picture next year. The two struck a deal back in 2019 that allows Disney to buy out the remaining 33% Comcast owns in 2024 with a minimum valuation of Hulu at $27.5 billion.

Honestly, you can sub melted vanilla ice cream in for pretty much any recipe that calls for a creme anglaise (which is basically what it is). How good the final recipe is will mostly just depend on the quality of the ice cream you buy.

They’ve also changed the way people use reddit. I absolutely abhor the last major redesign, and still use old.reddit on a desktop browser. That is now the ONLY way I use reddit. The fact that I’m basically only in front of a desktop at work means barring major news to check in on (like this past weekend leading up to…

Reed is canonically the ancestor of Kang, aka the guy Jonathan Majors plays, so why not make Marvel’s First Family black?

I get the instinctive panic over a bad opening weekend, but man, that was a monster weekend for kid-friendly movies. The top-5 combined for over $150 million, and all made over $10 million, and all in their 4th week or newer. The Flash ($55.04, 1st week) led the way, followed by Elemental ($29.6, 1), Spider-Man:…

I know it’s par for the course with horror movies, but I really feel like this would be the case where restraining themselves and not giving the animal supernatural powers could make it so much better. Like, every kill would have to be a drop from above, or a slow crawl to an unsuspecting victim—moving so slow it…

Same thing happened with Infinty War and Endgame—Originally billed as Infinity War Parts One and Two. They just had a much longer time between the re-naming and release date. It also didn’t hurt that they were very publicly filming both at the same time so that the two were always linked in peoples’ minds.

His pride when the civilians react how he wanted is one of my favorite Rhodey moments.

The fact that he was against the GI Joe tie-in is about as sure a sign as any that it was probably a good idea.

Thanks, might have to look into that! Despite my hyperbole, the 9+ is still actually holding up quite well, but I know that likely won’t last much longer.

I actually really like my Galaxy Buds2. I even have two pair, one for home and one for work (I have them in all day at work, and never remembered to bring them to and fro when I had only one). They’re great for having some mobility at work without having to worry about yanking the cord and tossing my phone to the…

Damn, not in my area. I live in a small but densely populated city that is very limiting in the large chain restaurants it allows in, and most of those are along the border streets. There is basically one of each of the major pizza chains, and I swear I pass at least three Domino’s cars making deliveries any time I…

I’m dragging along the limping corpse of my S9+ as long it can go, in hopes that they bring back the microSD slot, and the headphone jack would be a bonus. As we see more streaming services taking down content and recognize that previously purchased material may not always be available (and for times when one may not…

There’s a restaurant near me that makes bangin’ arepas and pupusas... Might be time for a return visit after reading this.

The WWF/E is very anti-union, and many, if not most of the top guys have no interest in ditching the status quo because they make so much money at the top. Hulk Hogan famously snitched on attempts by Jesse Ventura to establish a union, leading him to leave the company. Ironically, had Hogan had more brains than brawn,…

You know, usually I hate the *slaps ____* meme, but this one actually got a solid laugh out of me. So thanks for giving me a nice start to my work week!
