So Skype is finally gone. I get Microsoft wanting to update their tech stack, but they had a recognized brand and they let it rot. This seems to be the trend now, every 5 years let's push some different that will change the world and forget about the last attempt.

A friend that I watch #whitelotus with gave me this last week. It has been a great addition to my morning coffee routine: reminding me that whatever the day brings, it could be a lot worse.

PS: they should co-market this with the Folgers brother and sister ad.

Finally finished watching the playback of the IFPA Open World Pinball Championship from yesterday. If you've never seen competitive #pinball check it out (skip to the 11:30:00 mark for finals only) www.twitch.tv/videos/23643...

Hope everyone who celebrated had a wonderful Christmas.

I only saw them four times, but I remember them all #rush

Post a picture from a different era in your life

Only a few days into using this app again and it's so refreshing compared to everything else right now. #realpeople #fuckelon

I truly wouldn’t care if a man dressed like the king of England was in the urinal next to me. I get that for extremely online rightwingers, a trip to a public bathroom might be the most memorable moment of the day, but the rest of us truly do not give a shit who is peeing nearby.

The coolest pinball machine in the world

Just deleted my X account finally. Not that I ever used it that much, but I figured it was best to delete it before things get any worse over there.

I'm near the path of the Betelgeuse eclipse tonight, but just slightly outside the official tracking area by only a few miles, and it's cloudy, so I don't think I'll be able to see anything.
