Vicious Rumor: Nintendo’s new Switch Pro will run PS4 games natively, out of the box. #nintendo

Happy National Brownie Day It’s also National Lard Day I find brownies to be highly overrated. I find the crispy/crunchy top off-putting. Also, I’m not a huge fan of chocolate.

I really don’t understand how this works… 0 messages in the Unread folder with 20 unread? There are no unread messages in any of the other folders. Yes, I’ve checked the rules. This is really annoying. #apple #mail #failure

The Gathering: Another cat showed up at the deck door this morning. This one is a adult black and white tuxedo. I’m calling him Socks for his white paws. I’m clever that way. I don’t want any more visitors. My house must be an animal magnet. #feral #cat

Most people believe you have to think in order to listen. Listen, then think about what you heard. #life

If you’re thinking and planning while someone talks, you aren’t listening. #life #failure

Hm. Supernote A5X2 ready to start shipping. Yay! Hope it’s good. #supernote #eink

OK. It’s time to relax. It is the weekend, after all.

I’ve yet to see any real “intelligence” in iOS 16. Lots of “fluff and finagling” mostly. #apple #ios #ai #failure

“There haven’t been signs of life on Earth in years.” #writing #throwawayline

Yes, I’m mind-dumping. I need to make room for more important stuff, and the RAM is limited.

I’d love to find a writing retreat within a couple hours drive of me. I think I’ll do what I did last year next year. #writing

How many parties are people typically invited to during the year-end holidays?

Do you have big plans for the holidays and new year celebration? Do you celebrate? Do you care? Will you go to parties, or sit home and sulk, yelling the modern equivalent of “Bah Humbuggery!”? #holiday
