  • I will never again get a phone directly through my carrier, even if it’s significantly cheaper. We’re up in Canada 🇨🇦 on vacation and my phone is locked…I can’t even add a secondary eSIM for cheaper mobile data. 😮‍💨😱

  • Awake since 05:00 (took a friend to the airport 🛫), I’m worried there isn’t enough coffee in my house to keep me awake today… 🥱😆

  • Getting my license renewed and the Golden Girls theme song comes on the overhead speakers, it must be a sign. 👏🏻

  • 📺 We finally finished Fawlty Towers, with the last episode causing us to laugh so hard and loud, we set off the noise alert on my Apple Watch. 🤣 John Cleese really is a cometic genius. 👏🏻 It’s a very good show, we will absolutely watch it again.

  • Wow, that’s rather detailed…

    I affirm that I will not use the Software for nuclear. missile, chemical biological weaponry. or other weapons of mass destruction, (For more information on the U.S. export laws, see the Bureau of Industry and Security's home page.)

    I’m sure I’ve agreed to this before, in other TOS that no one reads but that’s oddly specific. 🧐

  • Finished reading: Order of Architects: Book 1 by Oleg Sapphire & Yuri Vinokuroff 📚
    ★★★☆☆

    An interesting read, with a reborn character, the “level up” of said character is fun to read / watch.

    A well-dressed man stands confidently amidst a picturesque landscape with mountains and a castle in the background, next to a robot covered in flowers. Text reads 'OLEG SAPPHIRE YURI VINOKUROFF THE ORDER OF ARCHITECTS #1'.

  • Finished reading: Return of the Runebound Professor by Actus 📚
    ★★★☆☆

    The first book of the series, this book follows a roguelike main character, who is constantly reborn. The magic system is interesting and well thought out, I look forward to the next book.

    A person is casting fiery magic, with a mystical blue dragon in the background, set in a dark, forest-like environment. Text: 'ACTUS Return of the RUNEBOUND PROFESSOR'.

  • I absolutely love the artwork for the new “Lawyer Up” segment on Connected. 🤣🎵🎙️

    wo animated men are lounging with a book and tea inside a cozy room; a podcast interface surrounds them. Text: '511: You are Nice to Hold,' 'LAWYER UP,' '1:54:04.'

  • Finished reading: Bastard (Last Life Book #1) by Alexey Osadchuk 📚
    ★★★☆☆

    Another one of those “free” books from Kindle Unlimited, I was pleasantly surprised by this one, it was a great read. I’m really starting to like the whole multiverse angle and the magic system is great.

    An illustrated cover features a young person holding a book, surrounded by floating pages, with the title Bastard by Alexey Osadchuk and labeled as Last Life #1.

  • Finished reading: The Abjurer: Journals of Evander Tailor by Tobias Begley 📚
    ★★★★☆

    The 3rd book in the series, this was a spell-binding page-turner; I couldn’t put it down. It’s so cool to see LGBTQ+ characters in a fantasy / magic world, young “me” would be amazed. 🪄🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

    A man reaches toward a glowing barrier where a woman with fiery wings stands in a castle, depicted on a book cover titled 'The Abjurer' by Tobias Begley. 'The Journals of Evander Tailor Book Three' is noted at the bottom.

  • I guess I have to eat my words, I just downloaded Delta from the App Store on my lunch break. The on-screen controls aren’t great but I’m sure I have a bluetooth controller around here somewhere. 🎮🎉

    A smartphone displays 'LEVEL 1 VEGETABLE VALLEY' from the game 'Kirbys Adventure' on the NES, showing a retro game emulation interface with controls.

  • 🔗 US drug shortages reach record high with 323 meds now in short supply | Ars Technica

     In some cases, generic manufacturers lose money on the drugs, disincentivizing other players in the pharmaceutical industry from stepping in to bolster fragile supply chains. Several generic manufacturers have filed for bankruptcy recently.

    I know a lot of folks will scream “commie” or “freedom” at this question but…why doesn’t the government just make generic drugs? If the goal is to save lives and businesses “have” to make money, just let the government do it. 🤔

    Sleep is something like a soft reboot.

    I really do need to get more sleep… 🥱
