Miniature wargames, sumo, OS/2, OSRPG. Profoundly sardonic. Ça Plane Pour Moi is the greatest song in history. "And this kid, he's not a poser, he looks like a total nerd but his name is Mike, one of the most hardcore guys on the scene."

A guy I previously worked with graduated from W.T. Sampson High School. He mentioned he loved the school, but he can't go back without committing terrorism. You see, it's located in Guantanamo Bay. Yes, that Guantanamo Bay. Ok, so he could join the military and go back...still.

Texas: Hey, Sacremento, you have any Texas plates driving near a Planned Parenthood? Sacremento: Sure, he's a list good sir. Promise you won't do anything evil with this info...right? Texas: Hahahaha, oh, sure

Wear Harvard shirts. When someone comes up to you who's a Harvard alumn and asks you if you went to Harvard, you reply that you didn't know it was a real college and that you thought the shirt was just Legally Blonde merch. That's a good way to mess with someone that's uptight.

Love these people. Looking at the following/follower list is usually a great way to proactively take out the trash.

Ooof. It's been years since I was deep inside of cPanel. Feels kinda like going home after 20 years. As comfortable as it is unsettling. Also, you got reminded of the dump you used to live in.

Fascinating thread about engagement rates on social media. Jibes pretty well with what I thought was going on.

I was a test subject for a combination vax. Had less side effects than either of the shots individually, if it's the same one I had but it was Moderna. Everyone in my family got the full except me. Not at all. Very much one of those "please tell me when this comes to market" moments.

So the liberty and small government guys are saying just shut up and be totally submissive to the government's will and you won't die. That sums them up pretty nicely.

Holy crap, just got notified by my insurance company that everything has been confirmed and approved and I'll finally be getting paid off for my wreck. Turns out that whole auto industry hacking bs delayed the whole thing. Time to get a new to me car this weekend hopefully.

So, it turns out that Space Force has an official boot. Like, I know they are totally a bona fide military branch, but if there was ever a military branch that could totally do a cross-marketing thing with Crocs...

Stolen from that other place. Still, it so totally is correct. Being a parent in general is a really shitty but rewarding job.

So, Chicken Soup for the Soul filed for bankruptcy since they owe close to $1,000,000,000 and can't pay it back. LOTS to unpack there. Yes, the stupid book people owe a billion dollars. Turns out, they did an LBO of Redbox and Crackle media and can't pay for it. W.T.F.

I was buying beer at Walgreens along with some other stuff and they didn't bother carding me. I was like what you don't want to check my ID and they said no, not if you're buying Just for Men.

Wow, f' Patagonia.
This is just a cheap way to avoid paying for massive layoffs so you can get rid of your experienced and higher-earning call center staff and replace them all with contractors while maintaining the veneer of their BS ethos.

One thing I love about San Antonio is the prevalence of mariachis.

My better half and I went to a BBQ restaurant who had roaming mariachis. It's San Antonio so not unusual. I noticed the violin player was an Orthodox guy in full mariachi garb. He stood out but he was good. Kinda surreal.

Saw a car with the Texas plate THX 7894. So, someone somewhere has THX1138 probably. I hope they appreciate what they have, the bastards.

Oh wow. Mistakes can sometimes be good. The Creepers from Minecraft are actually pigs that the programmer screwed the X and Y axis up on. They changed the color and ran with it. Everyone makes mistakes, it's about what you do with them that makes the difference.

I've loved this song for a long time, but only just learned it's about heroin.
D'oh! The song and especially the lyrics make SOOOOOO much more sense.

For us Grognards that use them, Black Hat Miniatures just announced that they sold Coat d' Arms line lock stock and barrel to Battlezone Miniatures.
Mike took them off the website and is literally packing everything up as we speak to send over.

Got the info about the accident I had in my car. I got more for it after 3 years than what I paid for it when I bought it. Totally worth the crap I got for driving a Prius.
