State of Being Cancelled in 2025: Still popular enough to be picked up for new productions we just don’t talk about in public

Not as good as previous material but obviously successful

If those aren’t also notes from Netflix offices I’ll eat my hat

I’m currently taking an extended break from FB after a disagreement with a friend’s “guns don’t kill people” post

Kind of reminds me of this demo Swaybox Studios did youtube.com/shorts/_tunb...

Isn’t that lyrics to a Korn song?

Won’t stop him but it’s gonna get interesting. He already had his freakout over “affordability” so expect this to be like bringing up the Epstein files

He’ll call it a hoax, say he hates anybody in his base who believes it, but that won’t make it go away

I recall searching my name in college, pages of results for artists already using it, and saying, “Well, guess I’m never going by that then.”

For a while it’d auto-complete with “Badass” for the author of Badass of the Week

There’s also the author of Stratechery and an official Elvis impersonator!

Not today’s count but I’ve topped 1K before. (Less just to see if I could do it than I want to admit)

Hibernating background tabs does more than you’d think it would

Also had System Out of Memory with less than like 1/3rd of that. Pinterest, YouTube, or Internet Archive alone will do it

In before they go the YouTube route of hiding the count and making them functionally worthless

I mean my brother bought all of Bush's albums before he decided he didn't like them as a band 🤷

Was it a "maybe this time he'll get it right" kind of post, "my joy is having something to complain about," or did they come off as a masochist?

Where is that button? I've needed to use it for a while but can't find it

Recall news footage of people weathering their own active hurricane collecting money for Katrina relief 🥲

In Ohio we had the occasional tornado. Never hit my area, thankfully, but it’s wild how storms can almost be like “F you in particular”

Also gonna see the effects of those NOAA and NWS cuts 😬

"Couldn't get past the first few hundred pages" is a pretty generous effort. The average Kindle book is ~300 pages, depending on genre k-lytics.com/ebook-page-l...

Makes me think of reviews for games "19 hours in it gets white hot" or TV "give it half a season"

@michaeljpatrick.bsky.social yeah, that's the one I see cited most. 7 books, must be doing something right?

@mattsheridan.bsky.social Saw DCC author Matt Dinniman say it was a style not a genre www.writersdigest.com/write-better... Kinda sounds like watching a Let's Play. Maybe for the RPG-curious?

I remember having a PS1 and mostly playing demo discs

When the PS2 was on sale it immediately became the cheapest DVD player while I was in college. Had the best library of games, especially for renting

Last console I bought was a Wii

Are we talking targeted intimidation like "you better stop saying this" or sizing up the drunk guy at a bar?

Situational awareness is important. Being a guy at my size I'm about average for physically imposing. Zero hesitation to go crazy as needed. Not dumb enough to start but I am getting away
