My parents put one in my Christmas stocking. I kept it for a couple years and then sold it on eBay. Since then, I’ve seen a whole package on display at the @ranchoobiwan.bsky.social museum.

• Automatic (which is a terrible company name for SEO…so see the screenshot. Former TWiT sponsor.) • WeMo Smart Plug (Dad never took out of the package. By the time I tried it, the firmware on it was incompatible) • WiThings Scale (same as above, but at least it still shows weight as a dumb scale)

I can’t imagine what kind of corporate meetings at Friendly’s HQ brought these monstrosities to life. Would anyone actually ever order these? (If you would, I’m not here to judge, but they seem like such odd combinations to me.)

@cathygellis.bsky.social The fact that most Dunkins outside the Bay Area don't have Chocolate Creme Filled is a crime! I DM'd with them a couple years ago to complain and they told me to contact the local manager...as if that would fix it.

Spotted my first Polestar in the wild today. (Not counting 2 that I’ve rented and loved.) It’s a Polestar 2 outside the Boston Museum of Science.

If you see this you have to post a picture from your phone but not explain it

Same. “Rotary” seems to be my defining word. I had my mother take it (born in Lynn, MA; grew up in Maine) and she got some different questions…but similar results.

This note from @meganmorrone.bsky.social to @mikahsargent.com came up in my Timehop memories today. 🤣

I feel like everyone needs to look at this photo of bunnies for a moment and it will help improve your day.

@jeffjarvis.bsky.social Found a Bluesky labeler that might interest you. 😄👍🏻 @phobial.mastod.one

JFC... 🤦‍♂️🤮 (...and no, "Animecon.org" isn't related to my AnimeCons.com site at all. That one is run by the notorious Ryan Kopf which only makes this whole thing worse.)

None of these people have ever set foot inside a Barnes & Noble.

Catching up on episodes… Loving the show!

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy but isn't a selfie

My Rancho Obi-Wan membership renewed! Thanks @ranchoobiwan.bsky.social!

Today, Dad would have been 79. I miss him every single day.

What’s wild is that the director of Lightyear intentionally designed the ship in a way to get Lego to make translucent yellow canopies again.

There’s a plane here in old Continental Airlines livery.

My connection is delayed at Newark, but I can use a one-time pass to access the United Club and drink free wine. For a little over an hour, I can pretend to be some elite bastard while suffering imposter syndrome the entire time.

I’m definitely not defending anti-maskers, but air quality at AB was actually not bad at our World’s Worst Conventions panel…so that indicated decent air circulation. Hopefully AN was too. If it was in the red, I’d definitely have masked. Want to borrow this Aranet4 for your upcoming RI con report?

It’s a regular Google search which is happening literally thousands of times each second anyway. It’s on by default. …so the fact I discovered Mark Zuckerberg had been amputated at the head does more to fight against Google’s terrible search than everyone simply ignoring it.

My most vivid memory of the Eisners is sitting in a San Diego hotel in 2019 while my 1 year-old slept and constantly refreshing to see if my wife, attending the ceremony, had won. I stayed in the bathroom so I wouldn’t disturb the kid.

Rest in peace, Emmet. You served my car key well for the last 7 years…but since you’re literally on your last leg, you’ve been replaced.

Uh… What?

Unlike you, I get my news from a reliable source:

I couldn’t find that glass dish on eBay, but did find two print ads someone is trying to sell.

That’s really the only reason anyone posts images of themselves from inside Lucasfilm. 😅
