Battlezone at the arcades in 1980. Something about the 3D and the idea I could drive my tank to the mountains if only I could survive the next onslaught of tanks, captured me. I’ve been playing games for 46 years and even got to be a part of the gaming industry from 2005 to 2024.

Watched the Doordash Grandma talking with Donald about no tax on tips today. I hate to break it to her but as a contractor on a 1099, she's paying tax on all her tips. Only W2 employees enjoy the benefit of no tax on tips, not Door Dashers like Grandma or me.

I started my car and saw a big spider scuttle over the hood and vanish down the side panel. Now I’m paranoid it’s going to fly out of one of the air vents onto my face like something out of ‘Arachnophobia.’

Robert Duvall dies at 95 and the world collectively sighs, "You keep taking the wrong old white guy. Come on!" RIP Mr Duvall. You left us with some staggering work to watch for years to come.

Amazon lays off 16,000 employees after giving Melania millions for her POS movie. THAT'S HOW BAD HER MOVIE IS. They had to make up the money somehow because it sure isn't going to be at the box office.
