The Onion's press release on the purchase of InfoWars is hilarious too: https://theonion.com/heres-why-i-decided-to-buy-infowars/
I tried to start watching Batman: Caped Crusader, and I maybe I should give it a go sometime again, because the story might well be good, but the clunky animation annoyed me so much I just stopped. What happened to fluid animation style? They did it back in the ‘50s. Why is it so bad these days? If it’s a stylistic choice, it’s crap.
So nice to be back in the #Finnish #Archipelago.
The summer is over, yet the temperatures are unseasonably warm. It’s quiet. Relaxing. Sauna, a dip in the Baltic Sea. An adult beverage or a few. *ahem*
Have a good weekend, CoSoNauts!
Watching "2010: The Year We Make Contact" again. One of my favourites. A well worthy successor to "2001: A Space Odyssey"
An incredibly underrated sci-fi movie by Peter Hyams, the director of another great sci-fi movie "Outland".
If you haven't watched either of them, I highly recommend that you do.
Hey all CoSoNauts!
The summer vacation is finally here and me and the missus will be in the #Finnish #Archipelago for the next three weeks, if nothing unexpected happens.
It's been fairly windy today, but sunny.
Have a good one, wherever you are!
Summer vacation begins as of today! Three weeks at first, and a week to be saved for later.
Very much needed, even though I can never be entirely disconnected from work. There will be some things I have to take care of now and then.
Still, it’ll hopefully be a relaxing time in the #Finnish #Archipelago
I just finished watching 3 Body Problem on Netflix. I have the book but haven't gotten around to reading it yet, so I can't compare the adaptation with the book. I assume they've taken the usual liberties, and then some.
I wasn't impressed with the Netflix adaptation. It didn't feel much like sci-fi, even. It was a drama with some sf elements.
The dialogue and characterisation of the main characters was largely cringey. About the only interesting character was Benedict Wong's.Clarence Shi.
Very much looking foward to a ten day vacation at the ”summer” house, starting tomorrow.
The solitude, quietness. Sauna every day. Good food & the odd adult beverage at one’s pleasure. Felling a couple of trees for firewood and other outdoors chores.
And putting aside all work related thoughts.

Created an account over at the bluesky thingy just to see what's what. Turns out, it's a place where people post pictures of scantily clad anime characters. Their Discover feed is full of that crap.
Thank dog there's #CoSo
For the past few weeks I’ve been playing Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.
It’s possibly the most immersive, the most expansive (the open world there is to explore is vast), the most beautiful and the most engaging #game I’ve ever played.
I really don’t have enough superlatives to praise it. The experience has been profoundly impactful.
When I play it, I almost feel like I’m there, in ancient Greece. And it’s beautiful.
A wonderful, unforgettable experience.

Just bought Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Ultimate Edition today from Epic Store with a huge discount. Paid about 15€ for it.
And the game is wonderful! So pretty and so immersive. And so much to explore! I love open world games.
Highly recommended!

Met a crazy Karen today while walking our dogs. Told her politely that she should keep her dogs on a leash, and immediately she launched into batshit Karen mode, nearly assaulting me.
What the fuck is wrong with people? They do something that is against the law, they get reminded of it, and they act like they are the victim.
No wonder I’m something of a misanthrope.
