I've been wearing the new Samsung Galaxy Watch for a few weeks now and, honestly, the killer app is the "flashlight" functionality, where you push the crown and the screen goes white at full brightness until you press it again.

So I'm basically paying installments on a wrist mounted flashlight that shares a line on my cellular account, lol

Among Facebook's lesser sins is that the home feed refreshes every time you tab away from the mobile app, so posts just disappear back into the wilderness if you have the audacity to answer a text or Google something.

I had opinions on whether or not the FN P90 is an inherently queer firearm and now a bunch of strangers will never hear them.

Dammit. They're fucking beautiful.

Lost my mind and made an offer on some rare and expensive mid-century demitasse cups and saucers. Let's see how they traveled.

Maybe this sounds like hippy bullshit, but I think we need a New Utopian art movement. For reasons that are almost certainly too complex to address, most people are not media-literate enough to parse "dystopian future as commentary on the present" (They've never heard the phrase "1984 was written about 1948") and they routinely learn the wrong lessons as a result. Furthermore, it creates an atmosphere wherein artists compete to imagine worse and worse "futures"

I let the flags get shamefully ratty this time around. Time to freshen up.

"Okay, then the... toppers? Toppers. These have a name. Are these finials? No, that's not right. What an idiot I am. What a fool."

*Googling 'finial' later out of curiosity*

"It _is_ a finial! I was right! What a genius I am! A generational intellect!"

I may be desensitized to certain types of risk due to living in a country where you can buy guns and groceries at the same store.

I have fallen in love with M. Bjoernstroem's channel. I was originally recommended his video about building a heated apron pad for his garage to keep the ice off. Come to find out he also basically runs Pajala Airport by himself. Throw in a few rock drilling and blasting videos and you've got a winning channel.

(Also, at least to my regrettably American sensibilities, he looks/sounds like a lost Koskela brother from Alan Wake)
