The social media world would be a better place if we had originally called “influencers” advertisers because that’s what they are.
They are not influencing me to buy something; they are advertising a product or products or “lifestyle”.

Only 44 days until pitchers and catchers report for Spring Training for the 2024 season and the Royals are already not a good team.

I love it when my favorite team is mismanaged and probably will be competing for the worst team in baseball award.
Some of my favorite websites are defunct Tumblr accounts that live on in my RSS history.
Happy New Year
Hopefully they ban fireworks this year
PSA to all companies everywhere: “We ran into an error” is never an acceptable error message. Tell me what the error was.
TIL - well, yesterday I learned, that my video card came with video capture software.
Now I’m thinking about pushing gameplay capture to YouTube. But I have to figure out how to capture voice cause the tests I did yesterday didn’t capture voice.
Your expectations do not make my reality.
You have no responsibility to live up to what other people think you ought to accomplish. I have no responsibility to be like they expect me to be. It’s their mistake, not my failing.

I like slow motion a lot.
One of my favorite shots is the slo-motion intro.
I will never like slow motion as much as Zack Snyder.

The Wealth Gap
Still thinking about an Instagram Reel I saw this week.
In it they supposedly broke down how much taxes you’d pay in California if you made $1.5 million dollars.
The Reel listed out:
- Federal income tax.
- State income tax.
- Social Security
- Medicare.
- A few other taxes
The final result was you’d “actually” make $750,000 and get taxed almost 50%.
My final thought was:
Okay, but you would still take home $750,000 which is about $700,000 more than the probable average salary.
Stop complaining about taxes when you make more than about 15 other people after taxes than they do combined before taxes. Just clueless complaints to push the average person to think the wealthy shouldn’t be taxed at a higher rate than the average person. After all, if you work hard enough then you might become one of those wealthy people.
