My job is not one that's always stressful, but it's stressful sometimes. When I come home from a 12-hour day, I don't want to watch a dark prestige drama, I want to relax, maybe have a beer or a whiskey, and unwind.

Right now that's Voyager (which I've seen before). I can watch 10-15 minutes or a couple of episodes. I definitely use my phone while watching that, and put it down when something interesting is happening (sometimes for the whole episode).

When I watch something new and/or more serious (Watchmen, The Expanse, Chernobyl) phone goes away.

I suspect most people are using streaming/broadcast shows largely for relaxation. I know lots of people who basically watch The Office and Friends on Netflix on a loop to relax. Nothing wrong with also gaming/browsing/swiping on your phone while you're doing that. So yeah, let's just let people enjoy their media how they want and not wring our hands over this.

This is good. A friend of mine committed suicide a little over a year ago and her Facebook page is the primary place that people talk about her, both right after the event and at various marker points. It's nice to check in on her page and see if anyone has posted anything new when I'm thinking about her.

Wait, so we're still allowing George Lucas into the highest tier of sci-fi demigods? I was pretty sure he demoted himself down to 2nd tier, and that's granting him some charity between balancing the 1st trilogy, which he didn't get to make like he wanted, what with the surly actors and limited special effects, and the 2nd, which he got to make EXACTLY like he wanted.

For some reason, as someone who gets around almost entirely by bicycle, this seems like an incredibly bad idea to me.

Leave it to a geek to invent the greatest sex bed the world has ever seen and then use it to jostle his brain into jelly in order to wake up in the morning.
