The reason I'm very inactive on social media, summed up in one video. There are almost no experiences left here that aren't designed to manipulate you, and we've become worse as a whole for it. youtube.com/shorts/eUpy3...

I was setting up a replacement modem and router and while running a speed test, I noticed this ad for Down Detector currently showing service issues... I hate this timeline.

Don't look at the news, watch TV, or Google for info about parades in DC tomorrow. That's what he wants. If you have the spoons for it, go to a rally being held; www.nokings.org is a good resource to find one in your area.

I'm seeing a lot of Christofascist ads on Facebook. I just saw one where PragerU is supporting using AI to indoctrinate your children. They actually state 'we all indoctrinate our kids, so make sure to give them the bias you want or someone else will do it'. Lord forbid they think for themselves.

I didn't think my redneck past of watching Neo-Nazi ketamine addicts fight with a racist senior citizen with dementia would ever be relevant to politics but here we are.

I highly recommend checking out Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. If you think you fell out of love with JRPG's, you probably didn't, you just needed a different take. That said, be prepared for emotional whiplash. It's very French and will sandwich life-altering trauma in between absurdist humor.

It'd be great if I could read the news without feeling like I was about to have an aneurysm.

Been a while since I've been out at a show but went to Arch City Tavern for drinks and food before heading over to Skully's for a Moon Walker concert. They rock BTW, have great stage energy and seem like they're just loving being on stage, super fun performance.

Alternative headline: "Players of fantasy fascism and war crimes simulator decide America is too terrible for them to compete in." www.wargamer.com/warhammer-ag...

Air-popped popcorn, Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream Liqueur, and Monster Hunter Wilds. A surprisingly soothing combination.

We got a hundred men out here thinking they're the star of the show but the gorilla is actually the main character.

I just learned the term "skeptical hedonism" and now it makes a lot more sense over what some folks are absolute assholes over minor inconveniences.

I honestly wasn't expecting much out of this but I have to say that the vibes feel right. youtu.be/vEioDeOiqEs?...

In my rush to make an Ethiopian lentil stew I burnt the ginger and berbere that I was sauteing the carrots and onions in and let me tell you, inhaling that smoke was my most painful cooking mistake I've ever made.

Nintendo is out here with Fromsoft releasing I Can't Believe It's Not Bloodborne while PlayStation can't even be bothered to do a remaster. Fear The Duskbloods, I guess. Looks fucking rad. youtu.be/niKHDEKQ7xA?...

TTRPGs for Trans Rights: Ohio is live on @itch.io! For as low as $5, get over $1700 worth of games, zines, digital accessories, and more! All proceeds benefit @kycohio.bsky.social and @transohio.bsky.social, two organizations doing important work for LGBTQ+ folks in Ohio! itch.io/b/2946/ttrpg...

Sergei, handsome AF as always.

Sergei in a flawless jackknife position.

This is the idiocy of this administration. Great job with that Control+F search and remove Elon. www.newsweek.com/military-rem...

The older lady beside me on my flight saw my mask and asked me if I was sick or trying to avoid getting sick. Pretty understandable question, who wants to sit by a sick person. Shame that she proceeded to watch Fox News for the whole three hour flight

It just wouldn't be a vacation if TSA didn't pull me aside to feel up my balls.

This is going to be a really weird revolution. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I'm a Gen X'er who's a year away from being a Millennial but I just realized my father is a Baby Boomer who's a year away from being from the Greatest Generation. This helps explain why we both have very different outlooks on life from people with a few years of age difference from us.

This street was flooded less than twelve hours ago and I can still hear water running in the underground drains in my basement.

Enjoy Zarya by duck light.

*sigh* Another day, another horror.

Fourth plan crash in two weeks. Are we great again yet? www.cbsnews.com/news/scottsd...

I don't think Zarya appreciated these kisses from Lisa.

In a discussion with my wife and she mentioned that Jay Gatsby and Nick Caraway were essentially two different self-inserts of F. Scott Fitzgerald. I immediately seized on the idea that Nick Caraway created an alternate personality named Jay Gatsby. Someone write me Great Gatsby/Fight Club fanfic.

It's been forever since I've seen Sergei and Zarya curled up this close. I love these babs.

A very sad loss, Wayne June's voice was absolutely iconic for this series.

Sergei was 100% conked out and did not appreciate when I moved ever-so-slightly and woke him up.

Oh look. My next read. www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/26184

The type of energy I bring with my anti-fascist rhetoric. youtu.be/wdepf8H4Lgc?...

Fuck these guys. Why do we blame illegal immigrants for stealing American jobs when it's the corporations underpaying them illegally? We bitch about them not paying taxes, but if they were actually on payroll instead of being illegally paid under the table, that wouldn't be an issue.

Cleaned the little guy up a bit and he's looking dapper now.

It's a struggle to get a good picture of Sergei because somehow the 14-year-old cat who had an eye removed to survive cancer just NEVER STOPS SQUIRMING but I scuffed him and took this picture during a meeting. He is not happy about this.

Im a HUGE fan of Roman Face Massage!

Just discovered this new banger that seems relevant. The rest of his catalog looks solid as well. He's also on Spotify if that's your jam. youtu.be/wUaCz28bm18?...

Illegally firing the people in charge of government oversight on a Friday night is just the most Trump thing possible. About half the inspectors general fired were previous Trump appointments. Sounds like Trump is more interested in loyalty to him than oversight. www.google.com/amp/s/www.cb...

I always appreciate these moments of peace between Zarya and Sergei.

There's no need to buy toys for Zarya when I can just throw a random bag on the floor for her entertainment.

It didn't take long at all to get my first vaguely alt-right account follow, now I'm one of the cool kids! And blocked.

Seeing people in the South say "We've got seven to eight inches of snow" and then seeing their pictures of said snowfall has convinced me that men need to stop lying about penis size. Yes, I decided on this for my first post.
