Well, my first Mass Effect lore video has now topped 100k views, which, considering that for the first several months it didn't get more than a few hundred, is more than I expected.

I'm not even sure what the overarching *plot* is.
Full disclosure that I never even bothered to watch Rise of Skywalker, but as I understand, it doesn't necessarily help.

One of my biggest pet peeves at work is when someone pings me and the message just says "Hi" with absolutely no other details. This must be how women on Tinder feel.

I think we need to put the GOAT title back on Michael Jordan. Yeah, I wasn't a fan of him hawking $150 shoes to young people, but that's downright virtuous in comparison.

TIL that Mohamed Atta was a professional urban planner, of the preservationist nimby persuasion, and that his graduate school thesis was about how high-rises ruin neighborhood character 😳.
![Screenshot of the Wikipedia page for 9/11 hijacker Mohamed Atta that reads, “ At the Hamburg University of Technology, Atta studied under the guidance of the department chair, Dittmar Machule, who specialized in the Middle East. 19] Atta was averse to modern development. This included the construction of high-rise buildings in Cairo and other ancient cities in the region. He believed that the drab and impersonal apartment blocks, built in the 60s and 70s, ruined the beauty of old neighborhoods and robbed their people of privacy and dignity.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:42w75ppgdk7goly4ip7ebmrh/bafkreigusvnskzzu6o6c7ckveqfer7zdussf5vcsvt32h4jolv5hctzt2y)

If it's once- not much worth the gamble. Same with twice, three times, etc...
