Fire Emblem: Fortunes Weave is such a massive disappointment. Didn’t hold my interest, story is a cobbled together mess at best. Honestly, just an awful bloated game.

I’m not at all into reality TV. But I’m home with vertigo and watching Love is Blind Boston (first time seeing the show) and it’s insane. Did straight people just discover rhyming? 🤣

I hate every person on Love is Blind. They are all awful, ignorant and so obnoxious. This is making me want to light myself on fire. Straight people need to be stopped.

It’s no surprise that SNL UK weekend update is so much better than the US. Michael Che and Colin Jost still make ‘Trump fat’ jokes and are too worried about insulting any of their Hollywood liberal friends that they can’t make a good joke to save their lives. 🤷‍♂️

Anyone who uses the terms ‘cut’ and ‘bulk’ like they are normal everyday lingo should be shamed, put on a barge together and pushed out to sea, never to be seen again.

Still trying to slog my way through Fire Emblem Fortunes Weave. And after many hours of pushing, completed two part 1 and most of the way through part 2, I can honestly say that it sucks. It’s pretty bad. 😫

I love that British people just don’t know WTF flatbread is or looks like… kind of how no one knew WTF an American cookie is. It’s just wild cultural stuff like this I just assume British people know. Don’t even get me started on their idea of ‘Mexican food’ 😆

Watching “American Cookie” challenge on GBBO and as an American baker, I want to gouge my eyes out and light myself of fire watching this. 😫

After watching SNL UK, it’s clear that the U.S. cast, particularly Colin Jost and Michael Che are just not funny. Damn, they suck, and are too worried about offending their rich friends.

Make pumpkin bread with black cocoa and pepito strudel. Then made some turkey cranberry stuffing stuffed acorn squash. It’s Autumn ya’ll! 🍂

Board games #boardgames I’ve been most disappointed in over the past few years: 1. Civolution: cards are too difficult to acquire. Billed as a sandbox game, but you really need to adhere to the end round goals 2. Collect!: mechanics and game just don’t come together for a fun party game (1/2)

3. Weather Machine: Overly powerful government action and actions/sequence very railroaded with little strategic variety 4. Drillers: Insane down time between turns for 3/4 players. Great idea and theme, but needed to find a way to get players to do clean up while the next person goes. Frustrating.

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

It’s wild that so many people never grow up or learn that there is a difference between something they like, their emotional reaction to something, and the quality of that film, song, media. It’s even worse when they tie their identity to it. 🤦‍♂️ /sigh

American standards for pop music have gotten so low that pop starts don’t even sing anymore. wtf is happening!? (Madonna confessions 2, Troye Sivan, Miley Cyrus…)

Parents in America have completely failed us in that Mr. beast is still a thing. Please don’t let your kids watch YouTube… ever.

Whoever writes songs for Addison Rae is a genius. And I’m super thankful all her songs are better sung by other people e.g. Rebecca Black, Ben Platt.

I disagree with this. What is “AI”? Predictive texting? Google results? Complex LLMs doing medical research? Making these sorts of blanket statements aren’t helpful. LLMs can be used for good. And are in some cases. We need a government that can regulate tech.

Is it legally ok to harm your roommate if he’s been loudly eating a salad for over an hour next to you while you watch TV? Who eats a salad that long?

Boomers truly are the worst of our kind. In line at the post office and all the boomers are complaining about the wait and lack of employees. Hey Boomer, you can’t have it both ways. You can’t cut all the taxes and then bitch about the stuff your taxes pay for being shitty. You get what you pay for.
