Ryan is singlehandedly one of the best people to work with at events. Signal boosting for not only a good friend, but a tremendously hard worker.

So here's what's up, and why I need the homie network: I lost my job. As of this afternoon, I no longer work for Automattic, after 16 good years. I do not have anything else lined up yet, and will need to find a new role relatively quickly. Please boost and reach out if you can connect me.

So I added a few more things to my classroom wish list. If you can, I'd appreciate the assist! :) www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

So tired of AI Tired of it being shoved down our throats Tired of creatives like myself losing work to it Tired of my work being accused of AI Tired of the horrible impact it's having on our planet Just. Fucking. Tired. Enough already

Hey y'all, I wanted give people a heads-up that Mike Z is still working on the Avatar Legends dev team, for anyone who wanted to know before deciding whether to buy/support the game. (If you don't know who that is or need a refresher, here's the Kotaku article: kotaku.com/workers-leav...)

Massive Earthquake happened in Venezuela during EVO weekend. The Venezuelan FGC is doing their part to help spread awareness and receive support to rebuild their homes and save loved ones. Please help our FGC brothers and sisters.

It was my honor to work with this team of Tournament Ops Staff for #evo2026 📸 by @tempusrob.com

I’ve already been asked a bunch of times for it, and I’d be deeply grateful if you can help me with my teacher supply list! Thanks so much, if you’re able! www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

You are the community. We are the community.

And that’s a wrap on Evo number… 13? for me. Much love to the staff and referees that made it work! This year ran super smoothly, and it’s because of the tournament people on the floor. Whether we work another together or not, I will always be proud of the work we’ve done together. ❤️🌸

This was how he reacted to notes on HIS films... ...when he was producing and defending another creator's work from the studio's editing scissors, he had a completely different tone like this bit about The Elephant Man. Mel Brooks is the best.

18 years now in the rearview mirror i feel insane. hahaha gonna make a doc and maybe some videos to share everything i learned throughout. touch base w/other local, regional and major organizers. make something for people who wanna do their thing and grow their local or online communities

Day 3 of Evo is here, I’ll be on the showfloor for a good while today before checking out finals. If you haven’t got a chance too, I have my book of memories for my brother Brolylegs. If you want to sign or leave a message, find me!

I’m here at #EVO2026 for most of the day. Going to be walking around the showfloor with my book for my brother Brolylegs. If you have a memory or something to share and write. Keep an eye out for me! @evo.gg!

Still time to book portraits!! Tell your friends :))

Setup at EVO - see you there!! Table A55 in the artist alley, no catalog but photos of products linked

I don't begrudge anyone who boycotts EVO over all this, but please know that anyone on the floor of the LVCC making things happen is so far removed from any of these decisions they might as well be on another planet. Be kind.

And for those in the Artist Alley at #evo2026 , hmu if you have FFXIV stuff! I'm always on the hunt!

Our new lineup is all about going iconic! Big logos, big characters, the biggest moment in Evo history — it's all here in our latest official Street Fighter drop. All this & much more goes live Friday morning at our booth at Evo or our web store online. FOREVER, WE FIGHT!

Wacom doing planned obsolescence with a "Thank you for your support" on their staggeringly overpriced products wasn't on my bingo card but I am UNSURPRISED. If you too are in this position, allow me to draw your attention to what's probably your best solution: opentabletdriver.net

Not to be like, everybody's mom, but remember when you were first getting on the internet and you were told not to give away private information to anybody you don't know? Corporation is people you don't know

This matters if your YouTube username is currently, say, your real name that you might not want to share! Be careful!

Imagine you live in New York City and you’re not that into sports and you have to walk your dog now.

It’s the last day of school. Why the FUCK was I hit with a Back to School ad?!? 😂

We are home. Thank you SO MUCH for a wonderful CB2026! It is SUCH a lovely mental reset, and such a joy seeing everyone again!

If you've enjoyed combobreaker (or any fgc event for that matter) take some time to tell the folks who make these things happen thank you. These events are monumental undertakings and it takes hundreds and hundreds of staff, bracket runners, production, etc to make them go. You'll make their day.

Until we all come up. #CB2026

Please help claim codes for AIT Matcherinos if you can! #CB2026 matcherino.com/events/206348

@pattheflip.bsky.social I haven't seen you ALL weekend :(

I texted Rick to come to the command center to look at something quick. Rick read the sign and immediately asked if @broseidonrex.bsky.social would like a sandwich. 10/10 peak Rick interaction.

FFXIV queues take forever when FGC majors happen this shit sucks

If there’s anyone with the last name Kulick at #CB2026, we have something at Command Center for you

How am I already so sore 😂 Wait how did I walk over 6 miles today. When?

Did we determine if there was ffxiv merch at #CB2026 or no?

@alphaxen.bsky.social Are you the person I spoke with at the CB meeting just now?

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

Putting together a list of BYOC brackets for Combo Breaker again, if you're running or know someone who's running a BYOC bracket, send the link my way. Just starting it now so it's only got the @megaknockdown.com brackets but I'll be filling it up from here. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
