Where to find me on the Internets: 2025 Edition

I chose that image because I am convinced that you’re supposed to see the word “fucking” in the first five logos, despite the Instagram image being in the way, and I’m trying to figure out what to do with the rest of it.

Anyway, I haven’t done a social media roundup in a while, and I keep turning things off, so in the absence of anything else to talk about (that said, I’m ranting on Bluesky right now) let’s list off my accounts.

  • Infinitefreetime.com. You’re here now. If you’re not here right now I’m very confused. This is the only one of these accounts that is never ever Going Away.
  • Microblogging is handled on Bluesky, at @infinitefreetime.com. I will probably cross over 3000 followers this weekend. Whee!
  • I really really really want more StoryGraph followers, so if you use that app, please send me a friend request at, wait for it, infinitefreetime. I’ll follow you back! I promise!
  • I’m still on Goodreads! My profile picture there is ancient and I should update it.
  • I’m not updating my YouTube channel any longer, but you can find it at lutherplaysgames.com anyway. You never know, I might get back into it eventually.

God, is that it? I think that’s it. I’m not on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, Google+. was never actually real, I don’t recognize that green app up there, and I don’t really post on TikTok so I don’t need any followers over there. I shut down my Mastodon account and was never on Threads. I’m on Reddit, but don’t post very often? I don’t even know if Reddit really has any follower/friend features.

Anyway, point is, go follow me on Bluesky and Storygraph. Please.

Not tonight

Writing tomorrow’s lessons took a thousand years, and I still have to do postcards and Arabic tonight, so … yeah.

Wanna watch a Pearl Jam show?

EDIT: Well, shit. They haven’t, like, blocked me specifically despite what the statement says. Just click through, it’s a good show. 🙂

Today was a long week

I don’t know if you’ve ever taken 8th graders on a field trip or not. I suspect you probably haven’t. And since I was primarily responsible just for my advisory, who I love, and about four other kids who I didn’t hand-select but I might as well have, it really wasn’t a bad or stressful field trip at all. The kids behaved admirably and I was proud of them. But Jesus, trying to keep constant track of 21 people out in public all at the same time is exhausting, and once we got back to school they (entirely predictably) decided that they’d all collectively had enough of their best behavior for the day, and then actual fucking sex assault drama blew up in the 8th grade, and … yeah, I wanted to talk about LL Cool J tonight and I just don’t have the spoons.

That said, watch this, especially the verse that starts at about 58 seconds, and see if you can figure out when this motherfucker is breathing. Dude has been rapping since 1985 and I’ve never seen anything from him like this.

It’s Sunday and I don’t wanna

Been a slug all day today, and I’ve got nothing in particular I want to talk about. So instead I’m going to have to insist that you watch this entire video of this man trying to destroy testing a Cybertruck. I’ve seen clips of it all over the place but the whole video is so much worse than I was expecting.

Guess what I’m doing tonight

Okay, that was better

Much more manageable day today, in accordance with the law of averages. That said, this is gonna be another short post, on account of I need to finish the new Sarah J. Maas book before bed or I’ll die.

Quick random thought, though: on a scale of 1-10, how ironic and/or pathetic is it for a middle-aged middle-school math teacher to listen to Killing in the Name on his way home from work at a volume understandable from inside nearby restaurants and retail establishments? While headbanging and screaming along?

Asking for a friend.

Music Rec Sunday

I tried to come up with something properly alliterative, but “Song Sunday” sounds kinda stupid so to hell with it.

Anyway, I’ve been on a reggae kick lately for the first time in a while, and I’m betting that unless you’re into reggae or you spend a lot of time on TikTok, you’ve probably not heard of Queen Omega, so let’s fix that. This song, Agape Love, is one of my favorites by her. Check it out.

In which I swear this is a coincidence

It looks like my predictions about the Titan sub were correct; those men were dead before they had any idea anything was wrong, which given the circumstances is absolutely and undeniably the best way to go. I swear to you that what I am about to talk to you about is an utter coincidence and has nothing to do with the sub. I swear.(*)

I thought this was going to be the summer of Diablo IV, and I’m starting to think, having beaten the main story and unlocked the third (of four) difficulty tiers today, that I’m getting bored with it. Not because it isn’t a good game, or at least it is a perfect exemplar of the kind of game that it wants to be. It’s a really really good loot-based ARPG! It just turns out that I think loot-based ARPGs are kind of boring, or at least that they’re best in not-very-large doses.

No, it’s looking like this may be the summer of Subnautica, which is an older game– originally released all the way back in 2014, although this is an updated version– that I have been avoiding for no real reason. A whole lot of people have told me to play Subnautica over the years, and I basically only started paying the thing because I don’t really have much else to play at the moment that’s new so I may as well check out an older game. It’s technically a survival/resource-gathering/base-building type of game, and those usually leave me cold, but this one is really well done, and also allows you to play the game either with or without having to worry about food and water. I tried a few episodes where I could starve and die of thirst and it was annoying, so I turned them off and started over, and I’ve been having a much better time with it since then.

The premise? Your spacecraft crash-lands on an unknown alien aquatic world. Good luck! Try and stay alive. I’m having a blast.

If you’re wondering if this is going to turn out to be another plug for my YouTube site, the answer is yes, although I wanted to talk about the game anyway, so it all works out fine. Check out the playlist– Episode 3 dropped today, and I just recorded Episode 12, so I’m way ahead– right here.

(*) The series is actually doing quite well so far, relatively speaking, and … oh, God, it’s not because of that, is it?
