For those of you PAX goers, Fire Tower is a great game that has grown up with us.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Ok Flow, the movie, is seriously stressing me out....

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

In light of today’s absolutely fucking deranged “I’m in a war movie” speeches by Trump and Hegseth, I give you the plaque at West Point.

I may have gone overboard on tiki mug purchases this week... But there were so many good ones.

This weekend at #MagicCon I got the pleasure of gifting @peachypopcos.bsky.social her custom Quiver which was made possible by the awesome team at @quivertime.com What a fun project! I threw in my MagicCon strap from last year's version.

Let ABC know how you feel about their bowing to the thugs in power and cancelling Jimmy Kimmel's show: support.abc.com/hc/en-us/req...

By the head of the Federal Communications Commission, in 2022:

Critical piece of the Kimmel story: Nexstar (owner of many ABC affiliates), wants a favor from Trump. They want to do a $6.2 billion mega merger that flaunts anti-trust laws. In return, they took a top Trump critic off the air. Brazen corruption. deadline.com/2025/09/nexs...

I am all backed!

I liked book marks when they were Indie... now that they are mainstream, it is not cool anymore.....

The phrase I detest... "I think I speak for everyone when I say.... " Really gets under my skin when I know it's never true. You are just the loudest one....
