I’m on episode 2 of the original series, pretty neat so far. It was always nice to fake being sick to get to watch it on TV as a kid.
Apparently my TikTok thinks I’m X-Men’s biggest fan, as I’ve been bombarded with badass clips from Wolverine and Cyclops lately. Looking forward to the journey.

My concern is often my battery, not my data consumption! When I read these articles I wonder what everyone else is up to.
Curious, I checked my stats – higher than expected..average of 13.5 GB monthly! That’s wild considering I come from a time where phones only made phone calls.

Comment on Taylor Swift adds fifteen songs to ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ with surprise release ‘The Anthology’ in ~music
Marmat89on Link ParentI feel so dumb right now. Admittedly I don’t follow the dating lore, but I’ve heard of The 1975 at some point, though I can’t tell you what they sing. My mind did not envision that when I read it...I feel so dumb right now. Admittedly I don’t follow the dating lore, but I’ve heard of The 1975 at some point, though I can’t tell you what they sing.

Marmat89on Link ParentI haven’t listened yet, but I’m curious what, or I guess HOW does one encapsulate a year like 1975, especially if she wasn’t born yet? If anyone can, I guess Taylor’s the one.

Surely it’s not a disco album though; can you elaborate?
I respect Taylor’s consistently beautiful songwriting (something most can’t or won’t do these days), singing, and playing instruments. I started as one of her country fans and I’ve loved the journey so far. Her businesswoman prowess really showed with the Eras film deal. I don’t care for her acting, yet, but like anything she does I’m sure I’ll come around!
Have a nice listening day & Friday! :D

The premise is a theater has been taken over by an evil presence; Princess Peach must use different skills to participate in ‘plays,’ to free the captured dudes, and defeat the evil one. For instance, one stage she’s a Sword-fighter, another a Detective, and another a Ninja.
I’m sure the game is made for a younger demographic, but I like its ease and story, especially after some rough days at work lately. There’s replay ability, since each stage includes these magical star fractals to collect, a secret ribbon for your magical creature friend to wear, and I’m sure more to explore. Princess Peach is very cool in this game. It’s been a nice change up from my usual Fortnite Battle Royale (No Build).Fluxx is a card game everyone must know about. The rules are always changing, (tagline: The Only Constant is Change) but the basic rules start with ‘Draw 1, Play 1.’ Each player starts with 3 cards in their hand. The objective is to acquire the Goal. The Goal may change on anyone’s turn. So while you may have played the Milk Keeper, and the Cookies Keeper, ready to throw down the Milk and Cookies Goal – your hopes collapse – a Goal change, Rules change, or literally an Action card like Steal a Keeper is played, and your opponent gets that Keeper.
Or, another example, last night we played Astronomy Fluxx (there’s many themed versions), and my wife had these 3 planet Keepers (and unbeknownst to me, the corresponding Goal card in her hand). I had a crappy hand, but knew she was getting close, so I played the Supernova Action card – ‘Shuffle all Keepers in play (except for Galaxy, [another card I don’t remember], and The Void, and shuffle them into the discard pile.’ So, I ended up sacrificing one of my Keepers with that play, but ultimately prevented her from winning. Games can last anywhere from 2 minutes to 40, depending on how many players, how many decks (you can combine decks), and everyone’s strategy. It’s not the type of game for folks that must always win, and is easy to learn for folks of all ages.Monopoly used to be my favorite game, but Fluxx has taken that spot. It’s much easier to find people that are willing to play a game, and much easier to store.

I’d like to know more about your stance on Meta. I recently turned 40, so I’ve thought about reactivating mine. I left years ago when the Snowden leaks were revealed.
