I'm curious, for the readers out there with older Kindles that won't connect to the store anymore, did you end up buying a newer Kindle or leave the ecosystem? I can count on 1 hand the ebooks I've bought from Ama since then, and the two ereaders I've bought since have not been Kindles.

I just wonder if discontinuing support for the older Kindle devices actually had a positive effect on Kindle sales or not. For me it solidified that I'd never get another Kindle again. There's too many other interesting options on the market and I can read all my older books on my old Kindles still.

On the one hand: yay, we finally have confirmation that the new Kamen Rider season will have an official release on YouTube! On the other hand: it’s a timed release, each ep only up for 4 weeks. So basically if you don’t watch right away, don’t bother. Why shoot yourself in the foot like this?

Seriously WHAT is the purpose of this timed release stuff? Is it some legal thing? Because this is why I couldn’t keep up with the official Kabuto and Agito releases and it pisses me off. One step forward, three steps back with Toei.

I was trying to articulate why I was having trouble getting into the first DCC book and my friend told me I’m just kind of a book snob. Which fair, I kind of am. I struggle with books that clearly would rather be movies or tv shows.

Couldn’t give less of a fuck about GTA6, and yes there’s some dubious stuff about the hacker(s) involved, but I have to say… if this is what the all-digital gaming future is like, at least it’s gonna be entertaining πŸ˜‚

Nothing proves capitalism doesn’t actually drive innovation or progress quite like the good ol’ USPS vs. FedEx. FedEx can’t even efficiently track a package within their own system. What a joke. Harrumph! (Yes, big surprise, I’m waiting for a package 😑)

While I’m here pontificating I gotta say I feel kiiinda bad for that Rahul Rai and all the drama YouTube commentators ripping apart his TikToks. Are they awkward and not for me? Yes. They’re very hard to watch lol. But I think his only real crime is being horny on main while showing his face.

Everyone’s a weird little perv online, they just don’t normally put themselves in front of a camera to do it without charging for it. And in fact I believe he reads erotica for a side gig of his so those TikToks are basically ads for whoever that sort of thing actually works for. People are mean.

Look at the end of the day I am a voracious AO3 reader and my reading history is between me and God. I have no interest in being holier than thou about someone being a horndog online. But the people that are trying to twist this into some sort of misogynistic thing on his part… stfu, good god.

Decided I’d treat myself to some delivery and halfway through the meal that I realized the fake meat in it was not, in fact, fake. I used to beat myself up about this more as a younger vegan, but also I was able to catch it better then too.

I don’t like spiders but try to play it off as a joke most of the time… but damn, I can’t believe the new Build a Bear jumping spider plushie is genuinely unnerving to me. Truly god’s weakest soldier 😞

I have long held that Star Trek needs to keep looking forward to the future, and that’s why I’ve never been super interested in SNW. But finally having Kirk and Spock make out sloppy style WOULD make it worth it tho. There’s still time, SNW!i

For further clarity, EA is going to be on the hook for paying 1.8 billion dollars a year in interest, whereas their current yearly profit is 1.5 .So their interest payments are 300 million more than their entire yearly profit. We're in the process of watching them tie a noose and look for a spot.

Yeah we're going to see anything remaining of value at EA get chopped up or thrown into the fire to keep warm, and of course they're going to lay off thousands of people so that the company gets the privilege of disintegrating in a few years. www.gamesradar.com/games/mass-l...

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as β€œthe far side-esque” but this comes close.

Went to an arcade in Halifax that had a framed portrait of Shigeru Miyamoto looking like he's about to be at the center of a murder mystery in the pacific northwest

Kamen Rider Super-1! Flash kicking to Blu-ray to battle the diabolical kingdom of darkness, Dogma! This is the first Blu-ray for the series ANYWHERE! Coming in 2026!

I’m genuinely glad people are talking about this again, glad the documentary exists, but it makes me feel like I am taking crazy pills that this is being reported by news outlets like it’s new information.

cbsnews.com4 women accuse U.S. actor Jared Leto of committing sexual offenses when they were teens; he denies itFour women say Hollywood star Jared Leto committed sexual crimes against them when they were teenagers, in interviews with the BBC.

The big highlights for me were Hall H Friday and Saturday. So relieved and excited that I was able to see The Vampire Lestat panel and the Marvel panel live! They did a little fake out in TVL at the end and when I realized it was really a QotD announcement I nearly jumped out of my chair!

Also while the Ghost Rider stuff is cool, for me the hypest Marvel announcement is David Jonsson taking on the mantle of Black Panther. He is so ridiculously good in everything I’ve seen him in and I can’t wait to see him be a superhero next.

Terribly tragic news πŸ’”

Actress Kaylee Hottle, better known as Jia from the two recent MonsterVerse films has tragically passed away at the age of 18 after a fatal car crash. My heart breaks once again. May you Rest In Peace, Kaylee. Thank you for your time & inspiring many people in the deaf community. You will be missed.

It didn’t even occur to me until looking for SDCC feeds on Bluesky that there’s probably going to be a good deal of gen ai slop there now. Add that to the list of β€œthings that have changed since I last attended”: ai slop wasn’t even a thing yet. Ugh.
