Recently saw the new Resident Evil movie. It was very good and I'm never watching it again. 🤣
It didn't follow any established lore, but was unmistakably an RE story: virus outbreak in Raccoon City and antics ensue.

I'm kinda sad the Dungeon Crawler Carl didn't do it for me. Most people I know love it and it seems like they have a lot of fun with it. I'm glad they do… Though I occasionally feel slightly left out 😅

"Perhaps more concerningly, the TVs were capable of recording microphone audio when in standby; this continued even after the TV was disconnected from the internet, with audio files stored offline and uploaded once a connection was restored."
It's finally happened: the improved quality of machine transcription and the greater ability to extract value from unlabelled data means "your tech is eavesdropping on you for marketing purposes" has crossed from "false conspiracy theory" to "true and concerning" www.theverge.com/tech/991190/...

Someone on Nextdoor reported not just the post but my ENTIRE ACCOUNT because I posted a link to a list of police surveillance devices in my town. Pulled from a public website, I might add.

60+ Cherry Trees were cut down in DC to make way for a golf course for Trump. This act violated a court order. They did it anyway because the law doesn’t apply to this administration. These trees were gifted to the American people by Japan in 1912. More destruction by a criminal government.

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

Another hard hit to take. Yes, the music was wonderful and I loved her in movies as a kid. But the older I got, the more I appreciated what a smart, frank, no-nonsense advocate she was for women's rights, self-determination in any form, and plain old kindness to others. What a legend.

I really loathe the trope of hating you spouse. I grew up with it in a lot of media (80s-90s), and I think that trope has done damage to our relationship expectations 🤨
