So after watching 3 Body on Netflix, I'm going through the books (read book 1 long ago; finally started book 2), but I can't stop thinking about a reddit post asking "who in the real world would you have as a Wallfacer" where someone included Tommy Wiseau as one.

Reading The Dark Forest and just encountered the droplet.

The Martian already had me going "I don't understand, but I trust that you do, when it comes to math" and now that I'm reading Death's End, I'm getting into fragments and soap bubbles and fourth-dimension perception and being like...

I speak Viet like a toddler -- I need lessons from this lady.

In the final stretch of Death's End, and after describing the dual-vector foil in broad terms, my daughter asked if Doofenshmirtz came up with it.

It kinda woulda been cool to have something symmetrical like 34 taking down 43 but I'll take what I can get.

I just realized that five years ago (and one day, this technically happened on June 12, 2019), I ate some tater tots with Phil Spencer.

Reminded of downtown SF lunch prices today: Sees food cart with $15 cash price, and credit card surcharge that will make it $16.50 Goes to place with a chicken sandwich that's $12 Adds fries and, after taxes and fees, realizes he paid $17.50 Sadly walks by food cart with regret

I'm finally playing God of War Ragnarök and I'm already like "plz send help" with the double Drecki fight and then I'm thinking "Shadow of the Erdtree is going to murder my descendants at this rate."

Damn!

I would have preferred a new actor, and this likely means he’s a variant rather than his own story. But it’s a chance of having a legit Hickman Secret Wars adaptation from the Russos, which is what I’ve been hoping for.

Whee politics. I went from "Wait, so this is the governor one, not the Ben one, right?" to "Damn, this graduate of Obama Public Speaking is getting ready for a run in 2028, and I'll be there." youtu.be/XQgrVX-8nCM?si…

Finally saw Deadpool & Wolverine. Totally got choked up by the nostalgia and needle drops.

I'm totally adding concepts of a plan to my email sig.

A LOL moment for relatives, pals and colleagues.

I just switched from six years of Google Pixel to iPhone. My last iPhone was the XR. I got the 15 Plus, a Series 10 watch and AirPods Pro 2. Any “welcome back, here's what you need to know" tips for iOS?

For all the new followers here and on the bluest sky, I’m sorry you hit “follow” for insights and in return you just get me saying “new phone, who dis?”

Expressed my opinion on civic affairs.

Guh
