Sometimes I wonder if I will ever be able to watch this video with the sound on and *NOT* get all choked up about it. Do you think that will ever happen?
Today is my birthday, and I have a wish. My birthday wish is for you to post picture of something that inspires you. It could be anything: an object, person, animal, Bible verse, or even a song. Show it to us and explain how it inspires you. And thank you!

Correction: I think apple will actually drop the finale tonight. Check your apple TV's around 21:00 Eastern. (20:58, to be exact)
If you start watching this now, you can bing the whole thing except the finale, which should air this week.
It's the probably the best televised show since "Mr. Robot," or at least the first eight parts were. We shall see if the finale is or not.

I finally gave in and watched the Pluribus pilot. I was extremely skeptical, because the pilot episodes of “Lost” or “Breaking Bad” or “Mr. Robot” were instant classics.

I don't know Mick Foley personally, nor do I know why decided to take a stand against his employer, with or without several of his colleagues.
If you watch documentaries & interviews, Mick seems extremely genuine, empathetic, & kind to others.
And I support that.

Modern microcontroller based text adventure games (a niche space for sure) have an advantage from those back in the day of ZORK - namely, custom code.
Each year I write a new game and each year it needs a few custom behaviors ... like pressing 2 elevator buttons at the same time 😉

If you can find screenshots of these two tweet threads from 2021, I will pay for you 133.70 for each screenshot that I use (with your permission) in a public talk or book.

One of my favorite songs is paradoxically about two opposite concepts and I am curious which one of the themes you will pick up first.

Renpho usually makes mediocre to good products that don’t require a subscription. But this new morphoscan “NOVA” is their best product yet. It is 99.999% true to DexaScans. Better than Hume. Better than InBody.

This is the reaction you see from your fans: they are weeping, overwhelmed. As are you.
Wow. Turn it up.

You are not a pessimist or "downer" for struggling w/ hope. Of course trauma survivors struggle w/ hope. We're suspicious of it. We know it can make us vulnerable. We know it can be used against us.
But hope, properly understood & leveraged, can also be a powerful recovery tool.

Hey, so as a veteran and incident responder I need to warn you to pay attention to something in America.
The human brain is resilient. While you're watching kids get dragged away from the parents and people being beaten in the streets, you're accumulating trauma but also being desensitized.
