This past weekend, I was at a family resort with my kids. There was an indoor pool there with a volleyball net. In the deep end, were a group of assorted kids playing. In the shallow end were mostly adults playing against them with a beach ball.

Every time the adults scored, they gave angry looks at the kids and held up their hands in the shape of an "L."

Congrats. You waded in the shallow end and scored playing beach ball volleyball at a family resort against a bunch of kids. I hope they felt good about themselves for that...

Good morning and Happy Thursday!

Heading to the elementary school soon as I got picked to be a chaperone on a field trip with the MDMRN Twins. My wife is with Twin 1, I am with Twin 2. I am thankful I am able to join them.

Looks like I am also taking the bus to the place.

Hope your day is great, but yea - expect me to be mostly quiet here most of the day.

Pretend you're a bus driver.

You begin with 10 people onboard.

At the first stop, 5 get off and 3 get on.

At the second stop, 8 get on and 2 get off.

At the third stop, 10 get off and 15 get on.

At the fourth stop, 12 get off and 2 get on.

And at the final stop before returning to the main station, 10 get on and 18 get off.

The question is - what color are the bus driver's eyes?

@mdmrn@urusai.social avatar

Okay - just went and unfollowed some folks who a) did not follow back and b) had not posted since 2022.

I think that's fair. If they fell into BOTH categories, it was time for an unfollow.

It cleans things up a bit and gets rid of dormant accounts on my following list.

If you are active and I just unfollowed you in error, just...ping me!

Hope your afternoon is going well.

Psh, you say you're an Olivia Rodrigo fan?

I listened to her back when she was underground.

Here's the song "Notes in Your Lunchbag" from the show Bizaardvark. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pUFqCr9q1A

Yea, sure that's my post for @loewe's Music Women Wednesday.

I've been doing this side by side Pixelfed vs Instagram thing at the end of each month. I am posting the same content on both platforms, seeing what the differences look like in terms of engagement.

As I have said before, I've been tracking my followers, likes on each post, comments, and other calculated statistics on both my Pixelfed and Instagram account to see what the difference really is between using the two mediums.

The results? Well, we're 3 months into 2024 and I think there's some common trends I'm noticing.

Let's start with raw numbers.

Good morning and Happy Easter to all my friends who celebrate. May the joy of the risen Christ bring you calm and comfort.

For my trans friends here, have a wonderful Trans Day of Visibility. No matter your situation, you are valid. You are loved. You matter.

I hope all my Fediverse friends have a joyful and lovely day today. And if you are not my friend yet, say hi. Maybe we can change that!

@mdmrn@urusai.social avatar

Have you ever found a piece of media that you thought to yourself, "Yes, this thing was very specifically designed with me, personally, in mind when it was created."

That's how I felt watching this video of aespa from the new Fraggle Rock show where they are covering a song from the original series. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPnjKZFgeiE

And it includes Uncle Traveling Matt!

It's...perfect.

I chose Akuma from Street Fighter, but they said it still wasn't right.

Good morning and happy Thursday!

It's been a weird week. But, we're on the downside of the week and closing in n Easter, which will be fun.

I'm thankful for the joy of Easter and the celebration of my faith in the risen Jesus Christ that comes with it.

Hope you have a lovely Thursday.

What is really cool about @neurothing and @alicemcalicepants's choice this week for Thursday Five List is seeing how different we all are when it comes to what music we love and can listen to on loop.

Next Wednesday musical hashtag!

It's @miona's VGM Wednesday.

Last week reminded me of some of the classic @ocremix tracks I used to listen to.

Here is Estradasphere's big band inspire remake of Super Mario Brothers 2's overworld music entitled, "Super Buck II." https://ocremix.org/remix/OCR00577

Check it out!

Good morning and happy Wednesday.

It's been a week already.

The Key Bridge collapse hit me emotionally in a way I did not expect. It's a huge physical landmark that has been a part of my life for my entire time living in the Baltimore area (i.e. since 2008). It was a huge part of my commute and even visiting family. And now it's just...gone.

I heard a friend online say it's like grieving the loss of a human member of the community and, while it feels weird, it's kind of apt.

Still feels surreal. Still praying for those who were harmed in the incident.

Good morning.

It is a somber Tuesday after the incident on the Francis Scott Key Bridge. That is my local commuter bridge and the one I took to work daily for over a decade before getting my current, local job.

My BIL / SIL take it still take it. I am thankful their commute did not line up with the incident. We called them both when we saw the news early this morning to check. I am also thankful for those who were able to be saved so far out of the harbor.

I pray that more folks who fell in are found and saved.

New trailer for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice has dropped and let me tell you...it tells me nothing, except that the cast is back and that Michael Keaton is going to be so much fun as Beetlejuice again.

Good Morning and Happy Saturday!

The weather is all sorts of rainy which, meh - but it's good for the ground. We need some rain with how dry it's been. So, I guess I am thankful for the rain.

Hope you have a great weekend.

This week's Jukebox Friday Night's theme is "Change of Seasons." Which, for me, is a rough category.

So, I'm just not going to participate. I really can't think of anything. Instead of racking my brain or stressing myself out over not finding a song, I'll pass.

I need to remind myself, sometimes, it's okay to just...not participate in the fun hashtag activities from time to time and not let it stress me out.

Which is hard cause, anxiety. But, still, a good reminder.

Since we're themeless for @miona's VGM Wednesday this week, I'm going to go with my favorite @ocremix album of al time - "Project Chaos."

Project Chaos is a fan remix album of the music from Sonic 3 and Knuckles. The album originally dropped in 2006 and I love it to this day.

Check it out here: https://ocremix.org/album/9/sonic-3-and-knuckles-project-chaos

Good morning and happy Wednesday!

Tonight, my wife and I are going to see Fall Out Boy in concert! First concert we have ever been to as a couple...and we've been married almost 17 years. We just haven't really been to concerts in a long while.

I am thankful for tonight, for family willing to watch our kids, and for the firsts in our relationship I didn't realize we still had.

Hope you have a good one!

@mdmrn@urusai.social avatar

Why yes, I did start tearing up reading the most recent chapter of Dragon Ball Super.

It just...was a fitting chapter. It had Saiyan's sparring. That was almost the entire chapter.

High energy, high flying Saiyans all sparring.

It ended with Pan being picked up from school by Gohan, Goku, and Piccolo.

Just...good bye, Toriyama.
