I don't know what I hate more: how prevalent Cunningham's Law is in this day and age of misinformation, or how effective it is for engagement farming.
It's two sides of the same coin, honestly.

It has been almost 4 years since #Endwalker came out and I still cannot listen to the #FFXIV version of Welcome to Our Town without welling up.

So I've read that for #TalesofXillia Remastered, they're adding changes to the game to improve QOL.
Having played the original, the only change I'm interested in is them making Jude less of a bitch boy simp for Milla.
Also less utterances of "GO TEEPO!"

So I've just learned there's an actor called Tom Hollander.
Does this mean there exists, somewhere in the world, a Tom Hollandest?

I'm gonna say something controversial here.
You know how football (soccer), once players declare for a nation, they're fixed to that nation until they retire?
I think club football should work the same way.

One of the best decisions I ever made for my own mental wellbeing is deleting Facebook and Twitter from my phone.
I still have my accounts, but because they're not on my phone, the cesspool of content on those platforms cannot infect my mind.
I urge anyone who hasn't already to do the same.

Having a second almost 2 year old means I'm on my... Milliontyfifth rewatch of Paw Patrol.
A lot of these episodes do NOT make sense from a narrative perspective.
For example, the episode where Marshall is trying to break the record for "Fastest Firepup".
HOW MANY FIREPUPS ARE THERE???

I love @finalfantasyxiv.bsky.social - have done since I got fully into it in July 2021. And I've even enjoyed #Dawntrail from the very beginning.
But if there's one thing I wish they'd stop doing - it's locking dyeable gear behind Savage content. Not everyone can get a Static arranged.

Hairdresser messed up my hair earlier in the week, that I need to use product for the first time in years to style it.
If I don't, I look like an extra from the Electric Callboy We Got The Moves music video.

This shows exactly how the Israeli propaganda machine is a masterclass in gaslighting. This blind ignorance to the atrocities the Israeli government has wrought ON ITS OWN PEOPLE as well as innocent Palestinians NEEDS TO STOP.

Hey Apple:
If I have the password for my Apple account and can use it to sign in, and unlock my account (which you locked three times in the last 2 months) then WHY THE HELL DO I ALSO NEED THE SECURITY QUESTIONS?????
This kind of shit right here is why I'm Android until I die.

Even outside of all the controversies surrounding Israel and #Eurovision, can we PLEASE stop living in this deluded fantasy where people say Toy by Netta was a GOOD SONG?

Everyone keeping an interest in #Eurovision this year is arguing about whether Sweden or Austria will win.
Meanwhile, me, living in Austria, vibing with Luxembourg's entry! Absolute bop!

Dear companies,
I know you spend a lot of time, money and effort in developing your own AI chatbot systems. But please, also allow users the choice to opt out of using it. I don't need Meta AI staring me in the face when I use WhatsApp.
Thanks!

If there is one part of my Britishness my wife wishes I could get rid of, it's the slight wave I give drivers when they let me cross the road, like I'm saying "Yes, thank you for not running me over".

So having listened to the Recollection trial theme in #FFXIV I will not deny its status as an absolute banger and Soken once again deserves his flowers for a faithful tribute to a beloved song from an all-time great FF game.
However, I have one small nitpick about how people are naming it.

This was a review I found yesterday for the new #Witcher movie.
Christ above - do these reprobates from the "Woke Police" find joy in anything? How dare those pesky women enjoy top billing in a piece of media that's not even about them!!
I weep for this world when people like this exist.
