Not really, but since we live in a world where most people are happily sharing their lives online it’s easy to imagine how not using social media might make people think you have something to hide and, therefore, can’t be trusted.

All alt-right content is made to generate outrage but content that generates outrage does not have to be necessarily alt-right.

Enjoy it while it lasts. We like to immitate the US so in 2026 it’s very likely that we’ll elect a reactionary idiot again.

This is actually very hard. I ultimately went with the Barn Owl because it has such an iconic owl-y face but I really wish both could win.

It’s a very recent one but my answer right now has to be Arcane, season 2, episode 7. It’s a brilliant show from start to finish but this episode in particular is such a gut punch it still hurts to think about.

The Culture novels are… what?

The title of the song Why Don’t You by Gramophonedzie. I heard the song playing on radio a long time ago, probably probably around the time it came out in 2010. I didn’t know the lyrics nor the artist and eventually forgot about the song. Then, many years later, I heard people saying good things about a certain Fallout: New Vegas and decided to play it to see what the big deal was. Well, the game has radio stations you can tune in and to my surprise the original song by Peggy Lee which Gramophonedzie remixed is in there. I heard it and instantly thought “…wait, could it be that song?” Well, it was, and I have to thank F:NV for that cause I don’t think I’d ever have found that song otherwise.

My friend down the street had an LX back in '83. It was an amazing device but sadly way too ahead of its time.

Do I need a foldable phone? No. Do I like the idea of owning a phone that is actually small enough to be used with one hand and can fit anywhere? Yes. Besides, closing it to end a call is very cool.

Why not? It’s not like Huawei can just use Android so I doubt they’ll pull the plug on this system anytime soon.

It’s about time we got a major third player in the mobile OS space. Godspeed to Huawei, may they succeed where Microsoft failed.

Yeah, I doubt most people will go this route. VPNs cost money, Twitter alternatives are free.

That’s the arcade one. The other one is probably season 4, episode 8, “The Vat of Acid Episode”. Morty gets a real-life saving device that allows him to go back to any previous moment in time where he has defined a save. He then falls in love with a girl and lives a long time happily with her, and forgets about the saving device. Eventually, he accidentally goes back to the save point he had made and realized he has lost the relationship with the girl and is again a complete stranger to her. That one hits hard.

Yt-dlp. It’s basically the only way I download music nowadays.

Chuck has a great shot at becoming the messiah of a new religion then cause the holy book of Norrisism has already been written, it’s called Chuck Norris Facts.

Speak for yourself.

Top Gear 3000, for SNES. Honorable mentions to Mario Kart Wii (because steering the controller to steer the car will never not be fun) and Horizon Chase Turbo (which is pretty much a modern Top Gear game).

Is… is this the year of the Linux desktop?
