Rewatched Andor, and I was once again amazed that they just dressed up an entire, step-by-step, anti-authoritarian resistance manual into Star Wars finery and somehow people completely missed that part amidst the *SHINY SPACE AND STUFF.*
Anyone who thinks art isn’t a courageous political act…whew.

The Game Boy Advance SP design is perfect, not just because it's very portable, but because its flip phone style means that if you're not doing well at Pokémon Fire Red or whatever, you can just angrily hang up on it.

I fell ass backwards into living the VR office life yesterday. Brought my Quest 3 in to show a colleague VR golf, ended up putting a VR screen on my wall for youtube while I graded papers. Worked shockingly well and I reinforced my reputation as the unhinged tech professor.
