I am no longer posting on Twitter/X. I cannot tolerate current leadership here, and frankly it's not as fun as it used to be here with policy changes over the past year. Please follow me at my blog and at the social media links below. This account will remain as an archive.

It's a shame it's come to this, but decisions made by current ownership have made this service a shadow of its former self. I hope to see you all again on another service. PressTheButtons.com bsky.app/profile/pressthebut… mefi.social/@PressTheButtons

Hi cats & kitties! Arwyn and her clowder are moving off of Twitter/X. Follow us on Mastodon and Bluesky at the profiles below. These are my personal profiles and I post more besides just cats, but if they are popular enough, I will spin them off to their own account. -Matt

Back in my days mass layoffs happened due to plain greed and mismanagement. Now it's all: children stopped buying hats on Fortnite and the Fed is keeping interest rates high so Saudi Arabia backed off from an investment and therefore Bandcamp, the only good website, is fucked

On one hand, I’ll never be the richest man in the world. On the other, I won’t spend my 50s trying to convince people I put on my cowboy costume correctly

Check this out! It's the original unaired pilot episode of ALF. This episode (which was edited into the aired version with reshot scenes) puts more attention on the Tanners. ALF doesn't even appear until the 7-minute mark, unlike in the aired version! youtube.com/watch?v=fMbrpe7C…

I’ve been thinking about this and it’s a quietly radicalizing realization that rapacious profit seeking has hollowed out so much of what’s fun and community enhancing in our society. So many things just stopped existing because they don’t return 300% to awful people.
I'm 38 years old and I think this is the first time in my internet-using life that there's just, like, nothing fun to do online anymore. I open a web browser and just sit there with nowhere to go.

Shout Factory TV has a free 24/7 stream of ALF, newly restored and uncut. Sometimes they run an episode of DVD commentary w/ ALF talking about working on the show. Right now they are showing my favorite episode, the one with the giant space roach. Great to hear ALF talk about it.
