Improv would be better if it had an "e" at the end.

firefox will now track your searches by default and you'd have no way of knowing they're doing that unless you look for this random blog post on their website: https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-search-update/

it does look like you can turn it off at least.

Happy #IDAHOBIT & #JukeboxFridayNight .. what a lovely theme: #Rainbows 🌈 🏳️‍🌈 :hearthands:

NCT DREAM 'Rainbow' Live Stage @7DREAM return
https://youtu.be/Oc_PCBilrDE

"At the end of the day that left us breathless / We lean on each other / We close our eyes and fall asleep comfortably / Dreaming again / In the slightly unfamiliar tomorrow / That will start over again countless times / I think we will be okay, I think it will be shining / The rainbow that connects your and my heart."

Happy Thursday to everyone around the #Fediverse today!

Let's discuss what the day has in store for each of us as we near the end of the week and get ready to head into the weekend.

It's work as usual here with a meeting at 12pm and then not much else work wise after that.

I'll be starting Ghost of Tsushima on PC today since it releases at 11am EST. Super excited to play this as I never played it on console.

It’s #ThursdayFiveList from @neurothing and a truly excellent topic / theme of #TheOpener

This topic transported me back to a time in my teens.

I didn’t buy many albums but had a friend, Fred, who bought 5-10 a week. Not sure where he found the money to buy them!

Anyhow I would go to Fred’s house on the weekend and listen to the beginning of albums and decide which ones I would (eventually) buy with my hard earned money, stacking shelves in a supermarket.

In 2023, McDonald's in China released a special Tetris LCD handheld that is shaped like a chicken nugget. For some reason, this was the tie-in for the 40th anniversary of the Chicken McNugget.

I wanted it immediately.

But, as I did not live in China and knew no one who could import such things for me at the time, I could not. So, I waited.

At Magfest, earlier this year, I saw this prize sitting on a shelf, mocking me. At nearly 50 bucks, I was tempted, but unwilling to buy it.

I forgot about it for a while when 7-Eleven announced their own new Tetris tie-in handheld, this time on a Slurpee cup. It reminded me of my long wanted chicken nugget handheld.

I went to eBay and found someone with a relatively high rating, selling them for less than 15 USD including shipping. So, I bought one. That was early April.

It arrived this week.

It's as beautiful as I expected.

No, but seriously, it's a functional LCD handheld that you can play Tetris on. It's adorable. It is literally easier to play Tetris on this, than on my phone.

Also, it's classic mode so if there is not space for the Tetromino block to do spin - it won't spin.

Anyway - short version: I imported for myself the Chicken McNugget Tetris game and it's silly fun.

Photograph of a plastic framed Chicken McNugget toy with an LCD screen and buttons on it. Beneath it is a McDonald's sticker sheet. This is all sitting on a blue and grey tablecloth.
Collage of two photographs stacked vertically with a thick, white border around everything. Both photographs show a plastic framed Chicken McNugget toy with an LCD screen and buttons on it in a white person's hand. The screens are on in both cases. The image on the left shows a "T" in the center with the McDonald's logo in the corner and a level of 88 with a score of 9999. The image on the right shows a z-shaped block falling with a score of zero on Level 1 with the same McDonald's logo in the corner.

Today’s #ThursdayFiveList from @neurothing is #TheOpener - first songs from an album that set the scene and make you want to listen to the rest.

My first is Save the World from Daphne and Celeste Save the World which is short and sweet, and sets the mood perfectly!

Y'all want to hear a fact that really changed the way I thought about homelessness?

Half of all homeless people were in the foster system at some point. Social Workers often call the foster system The Highway to Homelessness. If you ever had a point in your life where you had to live with friends or family to for a short time to get back on your feet, remember that is a privilege that not everyone had.

Hello, people!

An album opener is, most of the time, the forerunner that will make you decide to go further with the listening of an album or not.

So, for this #ThursdayFiveList we'll explore this.

Tell me: what are your favorite five first songs from albums? Specify also the album where it's from.

So, let's start with #TheOpener

Mine in the next toot.

This song can be described perfectly in one word: Whimsical :tomo_TakeiCheese:

I LOVE 1:13 when the string section kicks in. So tranquil.

My knight is shovel and my knight is treasure. Composed by Manami Matsumae(!) so you know it's good.

A deliberate underwater motif about the plundering of the seas.

Welcome back to another round of organic chemistry with MDMRN.

Once again, I've taken my molecular model kit to craft a new molecule. This one, frankly, I was able to craft using the pieces of the previous ones I presented before. While I didn't say it last time, the green represents a halogen, in this case specifically chlorine.

A hint is that the production of these types of compounds has been banned in numerous countries, including the United States. It was, historically, found in electrical transformers.

Can you guess what type of compound this is? Let me know in the comments!
