So here I am, thinking about how annoyingly funny it is that ADHD can cause subconscious personal awareness blind areas as I actively throw my foot into the laundry basket, jamming some toes in the gaps. Sigh...

It just struck me how ironic it is for the current administration to allow SNAP benefits to go unfunded the same month as our national holiday about how when our earliest white settlers struggled, the native people shared their harvest, helping us through a hard time.

@rockstargames.com Please consider Liberty City in the 1980's for GTA7. You've already done the "80's thing" with Vice City, so there's no reason not to do it again, and you tell make a fantasy story where media company buys the mayor off to clean up Star Junction for tourism.

Wife watching Blues Clues with daughter: I'm surprised mailboxes can have birthdays, but sure.
Me: I mean, they usually prefer "manufacturing date", but of course they do.

Theoretically, how would one state "become Canadian"? Would the governor have to phone up Canadia's President and negotiate some sort of deal? Asking for a friend.

Look, this could go really good or really bad, but I would love to see @brennanleemulligan.bsky.social on @tomscott.com's Reverse Trivia. I don't know Brennan's depth of trivia knowledge, but he seems well versed enough in a wide berth of topics to keep up, and the energy will be interesting.

@steveshives.bsky.social I ask jokingly, but in light of the whole Paramount/CBS/Colbert/Trump settlement fiasco, have you considered a series where you explore other Sci-Fi shows from the lens of a wayward Trekkie? Might be worthwhile considering the moment.

I look forward to the day 'Tech Bro' is used in the same way as 'Robber Baron' is for the capitalistic ones who destroyed an economy for personal profit in their respective historical moment.

My contribution to #NoKings: Most people define the idiom "free reign" as 'giving someone the freedom to rule over you as a king or other emperor. That's not even the correct spelling of the idiom.

A quick reminder that if our potatoless dictator is impeached and removed from office, the person who wrote the forward for Project 2025 becomes POTUS. That feels a lot like seeing a live grenade and throwing away the pin.

If Rockstar knows what they're doing, I'll be able to drive a Nikola Electrotruck about 50 feet before parts start falling off, and the Pay & Spray won't be willing to repair it for me.
Satire.

I asked Google Gemini to "show me a picture of Chuck Norris without a beard" and it failed to. Not because it understood jokes, but because of the guidelines prohibiting it from making pictures of exact people in any regard.

I look forward to the generation of content creators who get to explore our current top end amusement parks in 50 years when they close during this upcoming depression.

I don't understand why so many like to see themselves as alphas or betas. I'm personally on version 3.0 already, so still being pre-release so late in life is worrying.

Silly idea: a sincere conspiracy.
You know those moments of positivity that get shared virally online nowadays? If you ever find yourself in one of those moments, get everyone to destroy all audio/video capture of it, but still be very vocal about it happening, maybe with a hashtag.

@darkviper.au No shame for yes, but have you been using AI generation for elements in your thumbnails? The most recent Chaos thumbnail feels most AI, but it looks like you've had some AI touching for months. Either that, or you use the same filters AI does. Content is still enjoyable, nonetheless.

Am I crazy, or would a rogue-light inspired TTRPG using the style of gameplay presented in Dimension 20's Never Stop Blowing Up be perfect? Every VHS you start with D4's, but each new run you have powers that make the early game easier and get into the action quicker? I think there's gold here.

Do any developers want to try and develop a compiler that can compile C++ code into legal jargon? I'm ready to give up on lawyers' ability to write loophole-free laws. That's like if Steve Jackson allowed rule lawyers to write the rules for Munchkin.
