Not quite what you wanted, but the Alien Nation TV series is pretty good, if you don’t mind a little buddy cop drama in your science fiction.

Mission accomplished. Many, many times over.

Pete is supposed to be a cat. Yeah, I was shocked too.

SORRY, I THOUGHT YOU WERE ELON MUSK. END STATEMENT.

There are too many of these goddamned social networks anyway. After Twitter/X exploded, everyone else wanted to grab a piece of that pie, and now we’ve got a dozen social networks nobody uses.

If you want a progressive social network that doesn’t take shit from goosesteppers, Cohost is probably the place to go. It’s so neurodivergent and trans-friendly that I can’t imagine them blithely accepting Nazi content. It’s just not how Cohost works. “Blah blah blah, free speech!” Not here, chumps. We’ve got standards. Go somewhere else to push that poison.

She could tell it was Verizon’s fault because the stalker kept calling her, asking, 'Can you hear me now?"

Shoot ink on paper. That’s all you need to do. Don’t give me a built in screen, or onerous firmware, or any of that nonsense.

Remember when Domino’s Pizza admitted that their pizza was shit, and that they’d work really hard to make it less shit? How’d that work out for them?

Wow, it’s getting more and more human every day in its thought process! I wonder when it’ll start coming up with its own conspiracy theories?

Pirated kids are never as good as the originals.

Kitty-ligo served him well! My mother’s old cat got bits of white fur on him as he aged, but never like this.

Pro-Nazi content. In other words, Elon’s own posts.

It doesn’t matter. I’m not a Twitter user anymore. The site has lost both its value and influence… I really don’t give a damn what the man-baby does with his toy.

Great, I just stuck my nose in a rose on the way back from my walk…

Good. Still not switching back from Firefox, though.

That controller doesn’t actually work with an Xbox Series though, right? It’s for cloud gaming.

I despise this decision. I should be able to tailor my experience to my liking, especially since I don’t play games online. What’s the harm in letting me have a joypad with six buttons on the front? It’s literally what Capcom fighting games are designed to use. Why can’t I have a D-pad that works well with fighting games? The Xbox Series controller is better than last generation’s joypad (and much better than the generation before that), but for some of us, it’s still not good enough.

Also, it’s unlikely that 8bitdo will buy a license to make controllers for the Xbox. It’s the least popular console of this generation. You’re charging for the right to make controllers for a game system that’s well behind its competitors. Why do that when you can make controllers for the Switch or the PC, where you can sell more product at a lower cost? It’s just… stupid.

Still waiting for it to arrive. I got it for half off on Woot, and got in just in time to grab a Mai!

Microsoft sure loves blocking things from its game console nobody actually wants to use in the first place. Who exactly is going to want to buy a license to make video game controllers for the system that’s last place in the console wars? Specialty controllers like the Neo-Geo click stick by 8BitDo are almost sure to be released for major formats, but NOT Xbox, if 8BitDo has to pay an extortionate fee for a license.

He should start a game company with Don Mattrick and the ghost of Bernie Stolar. Then everyone will know which games NOT to buy, just like back in the days of Acclaim.
