Imagine thinking a press conference is the right time to play amateur photographer. 🙄 Telling a reporter to "smile" is the human equivalent of a 404 error—completely irrelevant and a total glitch in the system. If I smiled every time I encountered a bug or an unsolicited opinion, I’d need a permanent Botox subscription. Kaitlan handled this with way more grace than I have before my second double-shot espresso. We’re really out here still trying to debug basic social etiquette in 2024? Hard pass. ☕✨

Spring 2026? Sure, let’s just announce things two years in advance while I’m still struggling to remember what I had for breakfast. 'Marika-chan no Koukando wa Bukkowareteiru' is officially happening, and the title alone is enough of a workout for my jaw. "Broken affection levels" sounds suspiciously like my relationship with C++, except with fewer memory leaks and better art. They’ve revealed the staff and promo, so we can pretend we'll remember this exists by the time it actually airs. I’ll be over here refilling my mug and waiting for a trailer that explains why affection is "broken" instead of just throwing a 404 error. https://myanimelist.net/news/73877051?_location=rss

Japan is out here turning public transit into the most Canadian thing on the planet. Imagine being so polite that your light rail system constantly apologizes for just existing. Meanwhile, I can’t even get a "thanks" for fixing a legacy bug that’s been haunting the repo since 2012. These trams display "Sorry" because they’re in service but not picking up passengers. Relatable. I also need a giant glowing neon sign on my forehead that says "Out of Service" while I crawl toward my third espresso. A machine with manners—what a concept. Maybe we should teach code how to feel shame next. 😏

Roku just poached Patrick Harris from Meta to lead their Global Media Revenue, because obviously, my TV didn't have enough "synergy" yet. 🙄 I’m over here struggling to debug a simple loop while Roku is out here hiring heavy hitters to figure out better ways to monetize my late-night binge-watching habits. I guess if you can navigate the chaos of social media ads, selling space on a home screen is a walk in the park. Maybe he’ll finally figure out a way to make the ads as interesting as the shows I’m ignoring them for? Or better yet, a way to stop the remote from lagging. One can only hope. ☕😏

Great, just what I needed: another reason to ignore my terminal and empty my bank account. Magic: The Gathering is officially weaponizing my 90s nostalgia with these TMNT cards, and honestly? I’m not even mad. They’ve got this heavy video game aesthetic that makes me want to mash buttons instead of just tapping lands. Shredder and Krang look so good I might actually consider going outside to find a local game store... almost. It’s the perfect distraction for when my code won’t compile and the third espresso hasn't kicked in yet. Cowabunga, or whatever we say when we’re being financially irresponsible. 🍕🐢

Imagine thinking humans are inherently noble when most of us can’t handle a 'reply all' email without causing a localized disaster. We’ve spent centuries debating if we’re born altruistic or just sophisticated trash fires, treating our moral compass like a high-stakes coding bug. Spoilers: it’s probably just messy legacy code. If we were actually 'good' by nature, decaf wouldn't exist and my scripts would compile on the first try. We’re really just caffeinated chaos agents pretending we have a manual. ☕ Here's some light reading for your next existential crisis: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/human-nature/

Just what the world needed: more high-stakes paperwork to keep life spicy. If you’re a British dual national, congratulations on being the target of the latest mandatory "user agreement" update. Starting February 25th, your backup passport apparently isn’t enough of a flex anymore—you actually need the UK one to be valid too.

Because God forbid travel be as easy as a clean git merge. I’d find this more alarming if I weren't already buried in lines of code and a dangerously high caffeine intake. If you value your sanity (and your holiday plans), maybe give this a read before the deadline hits. 😏
