How am I just hearing of the word "Latibulate?" It means to hide or seek refuge, often in a quiet place, to escape reality, find solace, or protection. Girl, 2025 is going to be the year of Latibulation. Most likely, so will 2026, 2027, and 2028.

Josh nails it. Locking up all your merchandise feels anti-consumer and breaks the browsing experience of a physical store. Treating everyone like thieves is never good as an experience.
The Walgreens CEO being like "Whoops! Turns out nobody wants to shop at a store where the products are impossible to access!" illustrates how so many companies disregard the customer experience. I literally don't care if people shoplift from Walgreens. Stop making it my problem.

The Straight Story is one of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen. It’s on Disney+, so do yourself a favor and take a break from all the Marvel and Star Wars (I love ‘em both, that’s not a dig!) and watch something that’ll help you remember why people can and should be sentimental.

If you missed it/are interested I wrote this rant about lazy comedians blaming wokeness for their bad jokes because it drives me insane 😃😃😃😃😃
uh oh! It's the internet's darling
@brocklesnitch.bsky.social, with one of the best arguments about "wokeness in comedy" I've read - namely that hack comedians who are obsessed with it are just bad at their job.

Comedians obsessed with 'wokeness' are the ones ruining comedy
there's nothing less funny than old lazy jokes about cancel culture that we've heard before

The tech bro billionaires bribed congress to shut down TikTok.
Meta and X all lobbied heavily to get it banned to establish their tech industrial complex. Their CEOs will both be at the inauguration.
All to force you to post your funny little videos on their apps. But you don’t have to.

In other parts of the country success is having a nice house, fancy car, vacationing somewhere exotic, maybe an instagram photo of you laughing on a roof deck under a full-moon with a glass of wine. In NYC it is being able to afford rent.

Really enjoyed the audiobook of Service Model read by the author. Felt the tell g of the story brought out the Douglas Adams’ quality of the story.

I seriously love my Steam Deck as a parent. Being able to pick up and put down games between constant and immediate requests from my children has allowed me to game again. Chipping away minute by minute. #steam
