📺 Foundation (2021) – ★★★☆☆

Foundation poster

The cleon part was the best part of this finale. Overall what a middling season yet again. It started to get really good and then in true foundation style just kept going nowhere. I really hope next season is last coz this series is not very good right now (nor has it ever been)

Thanks to our next door neighbor there isn’t a nice weekend we can chill on deck for a few hours before he starts his woodworking shop. I fucking want entire his entire toolset and shed to just collapse so he moves it to his garage. So fucking annoying.

The Pitt is a good show but I don’t know if I have the patience to sit through 15 hours of hour-by-hour playback inside a ER trauma center. It’s too much all at once. We’ve already taken breaks watching this show and are barely at 10am-11am.

My intention of moving to a self-hosted platform (WordPress for now) was that I wanted to own the content I had. My experience with micro.blog was middling at best, and while I liked the platform for community, I couldn’t take the platform seriously that operated on whims and fancies of its founder who later seemed to have questionable views. Incidentally I pay less for my self hosted blog than I paid on micro and I have not lost any of the community aspect yet because of cross-posting to Bluesky or Mastodon using echofeed. When I look at my North Star of owning my own content, I have also begun to slowly start making my WordPress blog also slightly more private. A few changes I have put in now are no comments, no tags or categories on any post, no homepage with scrolling posts anymore, and no search. The only things you will see are movies and tv. If you want to read a specific post, the only way to get that post is if you reach it via my BlueSky or Mastodon account. I don’t know why, but given the highly charged political environment of this country I actually feel like I need to do this to protect myself and my account. And yes, my domains are also now private so dig/whois/nslookup won’t reveal my personal info. And if you’ve known me long enough you will know that I have also completely made my private blog… umm, more private.

Brazil Supreme Court has more balls and guts than SCOTUS

While Apple has kept the pricing mostly same on the phones I am surprised nobody is talking about how they have increased the AppleCare pricing exorbitantly! The only option when I looked yesterday was a 13$ option and a 20$ option per month. WTF? Last year it was around 8 bucks for the same and they simply doubled it?

My teenager told me yesterday a lot of people she knew were sharing RIP messages on social media. I flat out told her what a horrendous human being he was, and he does not deserve any part of RIP. I considered a more measure approach about how you should be graceful when someone passes away but I also wanted her to realize that shitty humans don’t get the option of grace. So yeah I let it out and she admitted she felt the same about it. Proud of her!

Ugh, it looks like the Kamala Harris bug has hit Abigail Spanberger’s campaign too. She went from attacking Winsome her opponent to now airing ads that call her out as the “most bipartisan person in VA congress”. Like FUCK YOU. In today’s times if you are a bipartisan congresswoman it only means you are bending your knee to the nazis in the government. This is a party that considered Charlie Kirk “moderate” republican and you are telling me you are proud of reaching across the aisle and being the most bipartisan member? You can move 1 republican voter with that crap but you will lose 2 democratic votes in the house. Like for heaven’s sake drop the facade already and campaign on your goddamn strengths.

I am definitely getting the Apple Watch 11 later this year for sure. This is a product that I feel Apple genuinely adds worth it features.

I honestly am not super enthusiastic about the new iPhone Pro colors. I kinda really like the look and view of Air. Ideally I’d loved to have the camera power of pro into Air. In all honesty 16pro camera has been a disappointment to me so I am kinda wary about moving to 17pro. I am probably gonna wait to see some actual reviews, and not by photographers who have all the best tools in the world to make their photos look great.
