1. R.I.P Twitter Logo...it's now well, X. (As if we didn't already know Musk was a stupid wannabee super-villain with a really bad marketing firm. Honestly these tech billionaires - you'd think they'd hire better marketing firms - considering they created marketing platforms.)
Musk has officially changed it to "X" now, and well..John Scalzi details what the idiot is up to fairly well HERE - in a post stating Preparing My X-it.
( excerpt )
Well, I deleted Twitter from my phone. Not sure how to delete the account. It's a lot harder to get rid of social media than it is to get on social media platforms. I'll probably not entirely delete the account. Just not spend time on it.
I'm jumping off - because it's become an increasingly toxic platform. It's back to where it was from roughly 2016-2018, before they kicked the Doofus off the platform.
There's a lot of toxic people on this planet. Unfortunately we can't get rid of them, so I just try to avoid them as much as possible.
2. Mother and I have decided that its best that I avoid trying to visit her during the big holidays, Christmas and Thanksgiving, and try to do it at other times instead. Take the monkey off my back. ( Read more... )
3. Last night the Sunday Scaries were getting to me, but I listened to this little Wake Up Mediation on my phone - admittedly at the wrong time (11:30 pm as opposed to 11 AM, but whatever). It got across to me that instead of striving to meet multiple goals and impossible tasks, I should just set one goal to accomplish. And focus on one goal for today. Finish that one, do the next. Focus on one at a time. And feel a sense of accomplishment when I finish each one.
It worked. I got two things done today, and felt accomplished. Also work wasn't so bad. And the task I was worried about completing - was easier than I expected and I completed it in three hours.
4. Making my way through the oral narrative Blood, Sweat, and Chrome - the Making of Mad Max Fury Road - which is told by pretty much everyone on the film. The author interviewed all these people, then wisely hired a bunch of voice actors to play them. I do get confused as to who is talking sometimes, but other than that, it works.
* The reason Mel Gibson wasn't cast as Mad Max in Fury Road - is he was told old for the part. ( Read more... )
* The film was kind of horrific to make - everything went wrong. ( Read more... )
* Also the Broken Hill - the desert in Australia they were going to film in - got flooded. So they couldn't film there. ( Read more... )
Listening to this book makes me kind of want to re-watch the film.

According to NY1 this morning - both were sold out in theaters, and people dressed up as Barbie and Oppenhiemer for the films. It was considered event viewing.
( more on Barbie and Oppenheimer...for the curious. )
