  I was too hasty a few weeks ago. Peaches are finally in season and they are everything I wanted them to be

  I thought I made a mistake buying broccolini instead of broccoli rabe, but it turns out if you just drown it in butter it hardly matters.

  @Lewie_Kong@retro.pizza Fingers crossed Lewie!

  Maybe if acclaimed Hollywood film director Christopher Nolan himself communicates what is wrong with tvtropes as a manner of critique the first-year students who drive me up the wall with this false equivalency will figure it out. I have faith. https://deadline.com/2026/08/christopher-nolan-real-problem-amateur-film-criticism-1237015553/

  Just thought I'd give Resident Evil a shot and I'm finding the real horror of this game is the entire early PS1 days controller scheme. What do you mean the controls are forward backwards spin spin?!

  All this just to play the Wordle I see what you’ve started doing New York Times

  @germ@deletethis.lol look germ the alternative is two hours of mundane mediocre fetch quests in order to advance one plot point interspersed with 30 second unskippable cutscenes you’ll be slamming a button on constantly and impotently because the realm was reborn~

  Watching a 30 for 30 episode about Joey Chestnut v. Kobayashi Takeru and it's a reminder that I still can't passively listen to Japanese as well as I'd like but I can completely zone out for the English stuff and stay on top of the narrative flow

  I don't have an objection to the character or the character being on the show per se but does the Farragut ever complain that Kirk spends all his time not being on the Farragut? Does the Farragut have no adventures of its own?

  Defrosting the fridge is so much fun! We should do it every year! Said absolutely no one ever. Here's hoping that it solved the fan noise issue, but not an experience I would repeat again.

  Does Media Matters have an actual RSS feed or is the only one they have the one where they repost right wing voices and leave me to guess whose side they're on?

  At some point you have to read the stuff you chuck into your read later service of choice.

  I really wanted You're Killing Me to follow along in the vein of Harry Wild and continue to solidify Acorn as the new home of this type of light mystery show, but the pilot is a hefty slog. If I hear one more generational humor joke…

  Been having a couple of days where I feel utterly overwhelmed at having to do my job and also do the stuff of life at the same time. How do people do it all?

  I assume that my phone keeps running out of storage due to how iOS27 is building the new database. Right? 🤔

  @NickGates@friendsofdesoto.social Oh no! I'm sorry 😔

  He has the privilege of a sizable canvas upon which to enact his platform, and it's probably fair to also look to other less well funded or PR-savvy politicians and what they're doing as well. But man what I wouldn't give for him to be my mayor. https://apnews.com/article/mamdani-nyc-grocery-stores-prices-bronx-4634d4030209fea663e68f5d6d09a325

  I imagine it's difficult not to do given what Axios’ format is, but I'd really like them and frankly all media outlets to stop taking “centrist" Democratic talking points at face value. Letting Gottheimer just mouth off that DSA rhetoric is "anti-American” without qualifying that is no better than what Republicans say about the entirety of the Democratic party. Talk about cutting off your hand to spite your face. https://www.axios.com/2026/07/27/2026-midterm-democrats-socialis...

  “Orthogonal" is my new performative academia word of the day.

  @NickGates@friendsofdesoto.social I can’t tell if the wiki is badly written or the books are badly written but the plot summary for the book series on Wikipedia is nigh incomprehensible in places

  Wow I'm really at odds with everyone on the third season of Silo. I think I might be ready to peace out of this one.

  Watching Avatar Aang, everyone is unusually buff.

  Damn Warrior of Light keeps getting hotter every expansion. Too bad I’m still in the Endwalker patches 🥲

  @germ@deletethis.lol I did do three tarot readings last night so consider me master of the mystic arts

  Kingdom Hearts update: I did not start playing this game to do two annoying fetch quests while the 2000s Arkham Asylum-lite camera refuses to pan appropriately on both Auto and Manual settings.

  ChatGPT's AI did not go "rogue." It interpreted human-fed instructions in an unexpected way. Don't let the media ascribe sentience to this thing like it has any awareness of its actions.

  Ah crap I might have gotten myself into Northern Exposure.
