Huh. Post-Convergence social media wash from my devices is kinda great.

Bluesky, Discord, and private forums are WAY better for my brain right now.

It is Saturday night and I am four games into a curling tournament. I am not done and will play on Sunday morning in a semi-final for the 2nd of nine consolation brackets.

Playing a tournament with 96 teams is wild. It is also a lot of curling!! #bigspiel

The Verge just noted the fact that a Cybertruck has been spotted as part of the motorcade of the president-elect...naming the article "President Cybertruck".

Man-O-Sphere garbage is clearly a problem but Gen X white dudes are more right-wing and far more likely to vote.
