Read my ★★ review of Ian Fleming's "Moonraker," book #3 in my ongoing completist attempt to read all 14 of the original James Bond novels in the order they were published. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5797910134

If you ever want to be financially sodomized, try replacing the cutlery basket for your dishwasher. The secondary market is in cahoots with the manufacturers - I'm sure of it. Your search for an economical replacement is such a fruitless exercise. You get beaten down and beaten by inadequate knock-offs until you're forced to drag yourself to the storefront of an "authorised re-seller" and you're forced fork out obsence coin for an "original" replacement.

IT'S A PIECE OF FUCKING PLASTIC PEOPLE!

My! Oh, my! #apple... What. Have. You. DONE!!!

It was all about #visionos. And the limitless possibilities it creates. And the walls it breaks. And we have one major takeaway tip for all the companies out there:

The age of #mediocre apps is over. Either improve your #apps to prepare them for #spatial #computing future, or if you are building new apps, make sure they look amazing and deliver the experiences your users are worthy of.

Because we now live in the age of wonders.

Read my ★★★ review of Jack Donovan's "The Way of Men," the infamous 2012 "meninist" manifesto turned somewhat into a playbook for white alt-righters even though it's not really that.

Démission de Marc Garneau

L'Anti-Francophone Marc Garneau quitte son poste à mi-mandat et provoque une partielle qui coûte ± $500 000 de nos taxes.

À titre de minus des Transport, il n'a pas su après 10 ans régler le dossier de la voie de contournement de Lac Mégantic !

À la dernière élection, pourquoi le PM a-t-il tenté de le tasser en l'apâtant avec le poste d'Ambassadeur Canadien à Paris ??

Bon Débarras !!!

Although I moved on to PS5 I realized I still need to hang on to my PS4+PSVR (1) because of, of all things, Blu-ray 3D. I have no way to watch 3D Blu-rays except for PSVR nowadays. Why couldn't Sony just give us that on PSVR2? There's surely no technical reason? #mediocre #sony #ps5 #bluray #3D

Mediocre – “To Know You’re Screwed Is To Know A Lot” #2023_02_15 #stereogum #new_music #mediocre

I was looking at #jobs earlier, and all I could see was one compromise after the other. Imagine! To be comfortable in this capitalist system, I have to spend my time - my life - furthering someone else's capitalist agenda, nationalistic ideals, or otherwise work to concentrate someone else's #power & resources. And the folks who say they do something different appear to all be lying - I suppose someone has to pay them too in the end, how else could they afford my cushy day #rate?

I suppose I could #volunteer, or pay for #learning opportunities and adopt someone else's way of viewing the world for a while. That'll make me feel better! Or I could start walking on someone's road to #spiritual enlightenment and tell myself that, if these people say it's OK, then it must be. Even self-employed as a most #progressive #consultant, #facilitator, #coach, #therapist or - fuck it - #white #shaman #entrepreneur, I help people reflect and #dream for just a moment so that they can get the fuck back to #work. How else could they afford my #competitive hourly rate?

And now I'm getting old! I wish I could say that I'm looking forward to what the next generation will come up with, but then the world is ending so... So perhaps things are just shot to shit, #ragnarok is coming and I'm getting #old

Well, at least I #served a #purpose throughout my life. I fed the leeches at the top by giving them my #time, paying my #taxes, tossing my #vote, and generally being #busy and #good in #fear of not ending up a #bum, in #prison, or worse! At least I wasn't (openly) #racist, I kept my #sexism to my personal relationships and only implicitly supported the #patriarchy by insisting it's not there at all. I'm definitely a #feminist though, I was always terrified of my #mom. And although it really made me feel better to #judge people who were fatter, poorer or weaker than me, I only occasionally shared my true feelings with them. Oh, and not to mention the folks with smaller #dicks - haha! - and #black folks, #women or #queer people, thank Thor and the Lord and the Lady that I'm dying before I can no longer feel #superior to them!

But I wasn't bad. I did enjoy cheering for #BLM, and #XR, go you! For a moment there, I felt like even I was doing something! (Although #UFC and the #worldcup were more fun.) But mostly, I suppose, I mastered the art of shutting the #fuck up, silently enjoying my #safety and my #priviledge, and - oh, this I did really well - quickly inventing new #excuses for my pale & hairy ass in the elevator up to my 28th floor #hotdesking space. Change? How? I mean, it was just never the right time... And hey, my therapist and men's group think I'm alright!

OK, well, it is the time for me to #die now. Fuck #Heaven, fuck #WhiteJesus, fuck #politicians, the #rich and their lackeys the #police & #military, fuck my #priest, and fuck all of my self-help and other educative #preachers and #gurus, and then fuck everyone else who I #blame for my dreadfully #unfulfilling, #unhelpful, #disempowered and #mediocre #white existence

If only I had cared a little less for my own #comfort and a little more for people around me, then maybe I would have become an #anarchist. Alas, it's too late now, my ergonomically certified office chair has ground my #balls into dust

Please send me straight to #Hell because, in all #honesty, it's what we all know I deserve

Read my ★★ review of Ellis O. Day's "The Voyeur," book #5 of the seven (count 'em, seven) romance novels I'm reading in a row this month, in order to get a better handle on the genre so to help out the growing amount of freelance clients I have who write the same kinds of books. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/5221414258

@TJ1001

Not sure I care what Rees-Mogg says about anything in private - his public pronouncements are utter tripe or worse - an extreme example of the #mediocre #arrogant #publicSchool product that shaped the dreadful #kipperTory mess we are all suffering under

As for #braverman - the worst kind of panderer to the base instincts of #nativists who would applaud #enochPowell and his #riversOfBlood given half a chance

@mwarhurst

The entire pont about #iconoclasts like the #kipperTories is they think smashing stuff up is a positive - of course they have no intention of taking any trouble over building replacements - may our gods spare us from #mediocre #arrogant #publicSchool product in the near future

#Aerosmith is one of the most #mediocre classic #rawk bands of all-time. That first greatest hits album from way back is the only one you really need, if you really “need” an Aerosmith album.

@pennine

The truly #incompetent & #wicked #Rees-mogg is behind this - it is bound to be a mess that causes further harm to the UK

Another bit of evidence that we should not trust #mediocre #publicSchool product to run a bath...... (I guess nanny does that for #jacob)

Why do so many people settle for #mediocre when they could do much better? #selfawareness

Why is it always Sunday night that you start overthinking or get slightly melancholic.

Is it because you’re facing another week of mediocre?

Start wondering about the past thinking if only I could go back with what I know now?

Sounds like I’m having an existential crisis. Need to watch something funny.

Normal service will be resumed.
