That’s no moon.

I can’t decide if the fret spacing on that musical instrument bugs me, because it doesn’t get closer as it goes toward the bridge — or if it’s a cool xenharmonic tuning system that I want to hear right now (along with the cute half-dragon bard’s singing voice).

Prostetnic Vogon Jeltz 2024!

And then Disney buys Microsoft.  And then Amazon buys Disney.  And then the Vogons demolish the Earth to make way for a hyperspace bypass.

Maybe I have been watching too much Marvel, but I 100% expected a post-credits scene with Laconian warships coming through the ring gate to take Medina (...and the rest of Sol system) and a “The Expanse will continue in (name of new series or movie here)“. Otherwise the Laconia stuff did feel awfully disconnected from…

Not the worst question, I was going to ask why it said “and my sacred boner” before I realized what it actually said.

The catch seems to be you have to have an account, and it will nag you relentlessly to create one.  That makes me suspicious since DuckDuckGo and even Google don’t require an account just for search...

There’s that “everyone” again.

I see 3 out of 27 that I’ll probably catch.

My one hope for self-driving cars is that self-driving cars won’t be assholes as much as humans. But I should have known, that depends on the assholes designing the software.

Seems like it could have used the Nope! card from Exploding Kittens.

I don’t mind kids playing in the neighborhood, but for a while there was a group who always managed to leave their bikes in a pile in my driveway, blocking it. I finally told them if they kept doing it, I was going to get in my car and just run over the bikes. That was effective.

(I was not really going to risk…

Yup, it worked on me too, just so I could see how few of them I’m interested in.

But then, I have adblockers and whatnot, so there’s that.

The human race is just determined to die of stupidity, one way or the other...

I would happily watch a series that was just Drummer, Avasarala, and Bobbie arguing about stuff.

I’ll be happy when there’s a phone app version you can just keep playing. I’m pretty tired of Sudoku and doomscrolling.

I think part of the point of a post-credits scene is to have a “did they really do that?” moment. This one was a bit more meta than most... but I was highly entertained.

Also one of the best post-credits scenes before this was the “why are you still watching this?” thing with Cap. It was pure, glorious trolling.

I would happily watch an entire musical like this. My favorite musicals tend to be either parodies, Disney wackiness, or parodies of Disney wackiness anyway... it is a genre that should never take itself seriously IMHO.

I’m not even convinced HD was worth the upgrade.

I don’t watch a lot of TV, but I have rechargeable batteries in my remote and only need to charge them every year or two. I throw away zero batteries that way.

(Still, kind of cool to grab the “free” energy from WiFi I guess.)

When I search for Wordle, all of the top links are articles about how Wordle is trending in social media.  Welcome to the club, I guess.
