Not to me but my mom went to get measured for a hearing aid last month. The doctor deadass asked her if it she thought it was still worth it at her age. She's seventy two. 😤 that's like ten years younger than you need to be to get elected US president

My main take away from the State of Unreal is Tim Sweeney unironically warning against one single platform usurping all of gaming, in the same speech in which he announces a new platform to usurp all of gaming.

I love when in 007 First Light we hear Bond "randomly" speak Montenegrin to an enemy. Not only because we learn about Bond's knack for languages and quick wit - but mostly because it's the game promising us that this will be a ride, and that we shouldn't worry about it and just enjoy it 😁

Also to throw some more oil on the fire: these are petty much exclusively US-millennial songs. I know very few of these. As a Dutch millennial, I feel there's far to little Gabber content in this discussion.

had a debate last night about the definitive millennial song. some contenders: mgmt’s “kids,” yeah yeah yeah’s “maps,” kanye’s “all of the lights,” arcade fire’s “wake up,” postal service’s “such great heights,” animal collective’s “my girls,” lcd soundsystem’s “all my friends,” stroke’s “last nite”

I guess the one good thing about today's socio-political climate, in which all of the power and influence is being wielded by decreasingly competent examples of the worst among us, is that it gives @rianjohnson.bsky.social plenty of characters for more Knives Out sequels.

Hearing whispers that GTA6 might even be delayed until 2027 early makes me wonder: what civil engineering video is @anyaustin.bsky.social working on now that's got them scared?

Wiggles shoulders knowingly. Bonus fact; pretty much the entirety of the three hours I've listened to this song took place in a span of two weeks. It is annoyingly catchy though...

Props to Meta for having invented the perfect antidote to doom-scrolling: imposed ad-breaks. Every time I open insta, it stops loading new content after two posts in order to show me some ad. So I close it and go live life. My insta-time has gone down to nearly zero this week. 10/10 no notes

"I asked Chat GPT" yeah well I wish it need not have happened in my time, said Frodo. So do I, said Gandalf, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.
