Our ACA premiums are now going up by an extra $1k a month in 2026. Thanks a bunch of the 8 douche bag democratic senators who caved on the reopening bill. You cost me $12k extra a year.
And fuck you Republicans for doing this in the first place.

It constantly amazes me that I am so sympatico in the way I see the world as someone like Tom, who’s basically my IQ x 2.
But yeah. He’s absolutely spot on here.

Absolutely mind-buggering how many people are happy going on the public record with their opinion that that grown-ass adults doing whatever they want with their own bodies is an Abomination Unto Nuggan, but sex-trafficking teenage girls is a bit naughty, and they should have kept quieter about it.

You don't need me to tell you this is yet more good money being burned after bad. But as someone who's worked with that QA team, I'll say they're unsung heroes who truly play a huge role in maintaining SE's reputation for high quality locs and to attempt to replace them with AI is deeply insulting.
Square Enix wants 70% of its QA work to be handled by generative AI by the end of 2027, in partnership with the University of Tokyo's Matsuo-Iwasawa Laboratory. https://bit.ly/4qKdyQR

Been watching Death in Paradise. Lovely environments, wonderful diverse cast even if there is a whiff of White Savior in it. It’s amusing watching all the current British jobbing actors putting on bloody awful Caribbean accents!
The fact they killed the show lead after the 2nd season was a shock!

@unity.com - when might we see a fix for the OSX 6000.0.058f2 bug where it completely fails to build a target at all? (It's the Opening file VirtalArtifacts/Primary/000000000000000004000000000000000000: no such file or directory. bug).
Wasted 2 days trying to get around this.

My neighbor speaks Spanish, a language which I barely speak enough to say hello, which I do because I'm not a monster.
He's also a successful contractor who's lived next to me for over a decade. He heads out in his truck at 4 AM every workday.
He's more of an American than this fucking guy.

I am starting a petition to name the new Ball Room at the white house "The Obama Room". So that everyone who refers to it just calls it that by default, no matter what it's official title is.
Can we do that?

Whomever is making your trailers, fire them.
The most important part of ANY game trailer is the first 15 seconds because that's when most people make the decision of whether to watch the rest of it.
Starting your trailer with that terrible "Trailer Starts Now" is just so bad an idea, I can't even.

This guy is an old friend of mine. We have different takes on lots of things but what we have in common far outweighs that.
And he happens to be a decent standup human being and we need as many of those as we can get.
So AWESOME news old mate. So happy for you.
No regeneration for you just yet!

Had my latest cancer check today and Im still cancer free. In fact, my numbers were so good that my doctor moved my checks from six months to annual.
As I’ve said many times before, fuck cancer.

I don't post about it much, but I have mentioned it a few times. Have an update so I thought I'd throw it out there.
As of today I'm formally in remission from the prostate cancer I was diagnosed with in 2023. Treatments were rough, but today I'm in the clear.
Fuck cancer.

The last of my uncles and aunts died yesterday.
It's a real shame. My uncle Delano was like an older me. Same exact sense of humor. Terrific bloke and a wonderful genuine human being.
I'll miss you Uncle D.
My generation is now the oldest generation in my family. It's all so depressing.

I am in need of a 9th doctor Tardis, the one for the figures? I have an almost complete collection, but cannot find one last 9th Doctor Tardis for love nor money (just got the last one I could find on Ebay!)
Anyone got one they don't need?
