@georgetakei As a fellow Minnesotan, I'm proud that he's our Governor but also sad that enough people in this country did not pick the obvious choice this past election. 😢

When you and your cat are cool af :blobcatcool:

Professional department store-style portrait photograph of a lady with her cat wearing a bowtie that matches her knitted sweater. The background shows fancy neon pink and blue lines with the kitty's face superimposed above. THIS is how you do a family portrait!

The Black Hole (1979): USS Palomino, art by Peter Ellenshaw

A science fiction painting depicts a futuristic spacecraft, the Palomino, in the vastness of space, surrounded by a colorful nebula. The spacecraft on the left is cylindrical with various protruding elements, while the one on the right, the USS Cygnus, is more angular and intricate, resembling a skeletal structure. The nebula is a mix of deep reds, blues, and purples, creating a sense of depth and cosmic wonder.

@Ashedryden "The Martian", it really leaned into the technical side of living on and surviving Mars but it was amazing that the vast majority of it was plausible (except for the sand/wind storm part). The movie did an excellent job of conveying an entertaining movie without letting it get bogged down with the technical information.

And there's more! They were really out last night in Northern Alaska and Canada celebrating the New Year. This is Fairbanks and the photographer is Kenny Spann. This is how they really, truly look when you are standing beneath them. WOW! #Alaska #NorthernLights #FairbanksAK #CelebratingNewYear

I describe the lights as flowing curtains, like when the wind blows window curtains in your house.

For Christmas I asked my girlfriend's sister to make a painting of me riding my cat Fishy into battle. I didn't expect her to actually do it, but please take a look at this absolute masterpiece she created. Words cannot express how much I love it.

A new year is like an unwritten book…the chapters untitled and the ending a mystery.

Tonight! This is how I remember the Northern Lights from living in Northern Alaska in Nome. Just like this! Haven't seen lights like this since 2000. It's like you can just reach right up and touch them they are so close. These were taken by Andrew Tagak at Pond Inlet, near Baffin Bay, which is a small Inuit village in Nunavut, Canada, which is about 1100 miles away from Alaska and further North than Nome. Stunning colors!! #PondInlet #NunavutCanada #NorthernLights

What I call colorful swirling curtains of light so close it feels you can touch them. This is in Canada about 1100 miles from Alaska. They are green, red and HUGE.What I call colorful swirling curtains of light so close it feels you can touch them. This is in Canada about 1100 miles from Alaska.

just got word of this. idk all the details but i just did this and the toggle is in fact there and on by default. psa
EDIT: a couple clarifications
1. this is apparently news from a couple years back, like 2020
2. only eshop data is sent to google, and it's anonymized. fuck sending any data to google tho lol
3. the toggle is not appearing for some people. best guess seems to be that it's a gdpr thing

PSA for Switch owners
The latest 11.0 update means that Google Analytics is a thing on the switch and turned on. What that means is that Nintendo has a deal with Google to share with them your data for advertisement purposes. 
To turn it off
1. go to the eShop
2. go to your profile where your funds and account info is
3. go down to the bottom of the page
4. there you will see "Google Analytics Preferences"
5. select the Change
6. select "Don't Share"
Please spread the word. Really shitty of Nintendo to just quietly start allowing Google to spy on users for advertising.
