Was jamming out to a Michael McDonald song on the radio I had never heard. Had to look it up. Turns out my favorite genre of music is 80’s Cop movie soundtrack. #RunningScared #BeverlyHillsCop

I think connections should ask bonus questions for what groups of 3 they were trying to confuse you with.

I can’t hear “Carol of the Bells” without singing: “Give-a, Give-a, Give-a, Give-a Garmin!”

Catchiest advertisement ever.

Everyone said the planet map from Ahsoka was a rip off of Treasure Planet. Now #SkeletonCrew just seems to a rip off the entire movie. I need some expert opinions on this: @blankcheck.bsky.social

Who that fuck cares what this super old retired dude thinks!?

My feed here is mostly cats and space, so I’m joining in the cat content. (Not sure how to get a good picture of a nebula or some shit) Anyways, here’s June Bug guarding our firewood:

Ah! Thank you @tallbart.com! I had completely forgotten my favorite part of Twitter when I left it months ago: These videos you make of Jordan Peterson.

Catching up on the Alien franchise. Can’t believe they just raw-dogged the atmosphere of an alien planet in Covenant. #aliencovenant #movies

@jackob1.bsky.social This is the 2nd time you’ve discussed the discolored Ice Cream Scoop. Same thing happened to me. Dishwashers cause a weird chemical reaction to aluminum utensils. Here are some possible solutions: www.quora.com/How-do-you-r...
How do you restore aluminum discolored in a dishwasher?
Answer (1 of 5): A soft abrasive. Any kind of chemical to bring off the discoloration is likely to be uncontrollable and make it worse. If it’s a small thing, you can use an old-fashioned ink rubber....
