I'm not feeling this #iPhone Duo foldable thing. I think I'd rather just have an #iPad that takes phone calls. Keep it in your bag and talk through your AirPods or take it out for speaker/video calls. Don't make the iPhone a folding tablet, make the iPad double as a phone.

Another Prompt: Crossover between #YokohamaKaidashiKikou and #ApocalypseHotel. Two #anime about customer service gynoids (Alpha and Yachiyo, respectively) maintaining their businesses (a coffee shop on the Yokohama coast and a luxury hotel in Ginza) long after something ends civilization.

Remember folks: Amazon, Walmart, Steam, Playstation, Nintendo, Xbox, Blizzard, Google Play, Apple Apps, Netflix, Hulu, and many others still offer physical gift cards you can purchase with physical money at most general stores. You can get surprisingly far online without a bank card.

Hold on... Well, I'll be damned... Thanks for the tip, TC.

while on the subject of phone chargers, I feel it's worth asking how well-known the whole "pocket lint buildup" think is with USB-C because when people say their port broke I often wonder whether it's actually just in need of some scrapey scrapey with a sewing pin.

Jessica Jones but starring Kimmy Schmidt. An anime miniseries adaptation of Shin Megami Tensei 1. A period piece adaptation of Nancy Drew, back when she had a gun. A remake of The Thin Man (1934) and a new adaptation of the comic strip Blondie, paired as a double feature.

✍️ Writers of Bsky: Instead of “what IP do you want to write for” I have a better question — What NICHE IP do you want to write for? The IP that you’re sure no one cares about but you. I have a list: - Scarecrow and Mrs King - The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh - Doyle’s The Lost World - JAG (not NCIS)

Operation Portland II. Build a city in Wyoming or Montana and transplant as many LGBT and PoC folks from right-wing hot zones as possible and watch as two of the big right-wing strongholds shift left through sheer numbers, like Portland currently does to Oregon.

You know, there is a relationship pairing I rarely if ever see from the #Persona fandom that feels very obvious: #Aigis and #Elizabeth. Two feminine-presenting non-human entities. Both struggling to fully internalize concepts like "humanity" and "living". 1/2

Both emotionally/romantically entangled with the same person (potentially a woman)... whom both have lost to the machinations of fate. These two feel perfect for a hurt/comfort, bonding over shared trauma, kind of scenario. One that could easily lead to both finding new love in each other. 2/2

I've got the outline of a #LandOfOz cartoon forming in my head. WW & ML run in parallel until Dot and Tip cross paths, team up, fall in love... Until the reveal. Ozma freaks out, thinking it's over, until Dot shuts her up with a kiss. "I don't care who you are, just that you're with me." 1/3

Then Dot tries to get home to say goodbye to Em & Henry and get her things, but the Shoes only phase her out of reality for a few moments.... Then Ozma crosses the room... and Dot DOES move... across the room, right next to Ozma. "There's no place like home", but "home is where the heart is." 2/3

Quit my terrible job in food service, set all my bills to auto-pay, and just go full NEET for a while. Probably try to find a low-stress position if/when my hobby/food budget starts outstripping the stipend.

Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it? Re-post with your quote or drop your take below.

Oh, easy. Operation: "Artificial Portland". Long/short: Build a mid-sized city in either Wyoming or Montana, fill it with leftie transplants, and then flip the state blue by drowning out the red voters with sheer numbers. Like Portland does with Oregon.

Yeah, a condo in NYC and enough to live on for me. The rest probably goes to PBS... or decent passenger trains... or my harebrained "Artificial Portland" plan... Long/short: Build a city in either Wyoming or Montana, fill it with leftie transplants, flip the state blue. Like Portland with Oregon.

Don't get me wrong ... you drop a billion dollars in my lap, I'm keeping some of it. Like, $20 million should get me and my partner comfortably from here until we die, something like that. The rest? Oh I'd set Venmo on fire with how fast I gave it away ...

I'm all for a service that covers most of ones digital needs (finances, productivity, media, communications etc.). Shame for these dipsticks that iOS and Android bet them to the punch a LONG while ago.

Yeah, turns out there are far fewer Wealthy, Cisgender, Heterosexual, Anglo-Saxon, Protestants, Men than there are... other people. Catering to them exclusively seems to SEVERLY limits your potential customer base.

one of the many things missed by the people who complain about “woke” for a living is that the spread of wokeness is as much of a function of demand as supply

I'm going to give the #Switch2 a half-year before I jump in. My current plan is to grab a Steam Deck as a semi-replacement for my aging Razer Blade 2020. Keyboard's semi-busted (I have to ctrl+V to type in Ds) and it roars running ANY games. Maybe see about a cheap netbook later.

I'm not getting the hate for this. Having a way to be 100% sure that [insert public figure/organization here] actually IS [insert public figure/organization here] is useful. As long as it doesn't become a Premium Badge of +5 Engagement, I see no issues. Though, I'd have come up with a NEW icon.

But they ARE fixing the most glaring issue with out economy: The fact that the economy isn't entirely based around them and their closest friends continually passing wads of cash back and forth like the world's most boringly asinine game of Go Fish.

Republicans just passed a budget that guts Medicaid, SNAP, veterans’ benefits, and free school lunches. They swore they'd fix the economy—but this sure as hell ain’t it.

Caesar has become so consumed with envy and avarice that he is willing to put the torch to Rome personally to keep the plebs from eating any of HIS bread or enjoying any of HIS circuses. Screw us, got his AND ours.
