Happy Amazon Prime Day! Amazon collects mountains of data about how you use the service, but there is a setting you can change to make it harder for the company to use that data to sell you more things. #OptOutOctober www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Reduced my Game Pass Ultimate to Premium but I'm on the verge of cancelling it outright.

The current perks of Ultimate don't hold a lot of sway for me - an old. patient gamer with a backlog. (1/2)

The Bears looking like an honest to God, 21st century style offence

I'm already looking forward to the Bears' next off-season. Hopefully without Poles

I don't care what anyone else says, but I love Destiny expansion day!

I've had my issues with it - namely it's difficulty (which is a skill issue, I admit) and some fiddly nonsense with the season vendors - but when Destiny is good, it's VERY good

The first superhero comic I ever bought was Secret Wars II #1 and I loved it. Jim Shooter's tenure with Valiant comics is probably my favorite era of comic books. His revisit with those classic Gold Key characters with Dark Horse is so good and worth reading #JimShooter #comicbooks

Under Par: Golf Architect's announcement may have went under the radar, but if you've been waiting for a game to fill the SimGolf hole that's been in your heart for a long, long time -- give this one a try! You can sign up for a testing version on Steam, hopefully other platforms soon!

Destiny 2's "enemy density" thing is killing the game for me, an old casual player. I can't finish the episode 1 because of bugs, I won't finish the episode 2 because it's designed weird and bad, and I won't finish the episode 3 because I'm just tired of sweating during story missions #Destiny2

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

I'm not saying Corey Booker needs to destroy a podium or a lectern when he finishes his wonderful speech, but it would be pretty badass if he did

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

Huh, holding a rally to motivate and educate instead of holding out a tin cup and an overturned hat begging for money and/or votes. Seems like AOC and Sanders are on to something
AOC: One thing I love about Arizonans is that you all have shown that if a US Senator isn’t fighting hard enough for you, you’re not afraid to replace her with one who will.

My enthusiastic enjoyment of Twin Peaks: The Return sure came to a screeching halt the moment Wally Brando appeared on screen

Obviously Gene Hackman will be remembered for his iconic roles in great movies, but he also has one of the best cameos in movie history

I like Avowed. I'm looking forward to playing a lot of Avowed, but man does Sleeper Citizen 2 have its hooks deep into me

So to save a few bucks I'm rotating streaming services month to month. Dropping MAX for the Paramount Plus & Showtime package so I can do a Twin Peaks marathon as well as some Star Trek: TNG episodes here and there

With a degree in both computer science and mathematics, I put odds at 3:5 that Ben Johnson has a shoebox full of Magic: the Gathering cards from the early to mid-aughts at the bottom of his closet with a thick layer of dust because no one wants to play with him because he keeps winning

FFS I think I'm talking myself into wanting the #Bears to hire Mike McCarthy. GODDAMMIT, ME

The sentiment applies to all the holidays, even all-year round!
