Seems my Hard drive gave up the ghost after almost 10 years and several trips cross country… new SSD arrived today now for 4+ hours of installing Windows/drivers/games. As memory serves the last components left from original spec are the motherboard, WiFi, and the optical drive.

All it would take to piss them off is to make him black, again.

I think my next vacation will involve a Plaza Burger with Cheese in downtown Madison, WI

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

1) Yes I very much believe Nazis should ne punched. Early and often. 2) No, I don't believe they should be assassinated. That just makes them a martyr. 3) Everyone, including Nazis, gets Due Process. 4) No, they should not be executed. Much better to make them suffer and rot in jail for life.

5) Nazis and Pedophiles and Convicted Felins should not be able to override the Freedom of Speech or Freedom of the Press. 6) Fuck Charlie Kirk, Donald Trump, and the while MAGA, Right Wing, Neo-Nazi movement with a rusty anchor. youtu.be/th4Czv1j3F8?...

Spending some time with family this week, I seem to have damaged them with an “exotic delicacy” from the other side of my family…. cream filled long john (a doughnut) with a hot dog stuffed inside

thought police are getting too real all of a sudden…

God its so disingenuous to pretend that all CK did was “have horrible opinions”. The man co-founded an organization that’s sole function was to fight tooth and nail to indoctrinate children at school into violent white nationalism. He wasn’t even just a pundit. He was ceo of the baby Nazi factory.

In the words of George Carlin “Not every ejaculation deserves a name!”

How to know you have a problem with buying #mtgcommander preconstructed decks… when you have double digit copies of cards you’ll never play in your own brews…

Donald J. Trump all-caps posting NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW as he weaponizes the justice system for his ongoing revenge tour is a shameful statement on America as a nation.

Started reading "The Running Man" today. It seems i prefer fictional dystopia to the real thing. It also struck me I've never read @stephenking.bsky.social Only Richard Bachman (yes I know its the same person)

Looking better by the day.

I’ve come to a career crossroads: My main function is too easy. Positions above me require more social than I am capable of dealing with. I don’t think I could go back to being just a dealer. I’ve reached my limits. Time to figure out the next chapter.

Recommendation: Don’t get old.

I'm not even an atheist so much as I am an antitheist; I not only maintain that all religions are versions of the same untruth, but I hold that the influence of churches, and the effect of religious belief, is positively harmful. — Christopher Hitchens

Just spitballing here, but cryptobros throwing sex toys at WNBA players on the court and other cryptobros and male sports commentators calling it funny and telling the women and their coaches to 'lighten up' both explains the 'male loneliness epidemic' and why I don't care about it.

Which way are you lookin'? Is it hard to see? Do you say what's wrong for him Is not wrong for me? You walk the streets of righteousness But you refuse to understand Jim Croce

People see me, a large, bald man, generally dressed in a suit, working in a position of perceived authority they assume I lean to the right politically. Instead I sit quietly listening to Rage Against the machine, Woody Guthrie, and Harry Chapin, or sitting with union members discussing strategy

Our world is a little darker without him.

Is it a bad sign I’ve “pregamed” a magic prerelease with a strong mixed drink?

“And they sit at the bar and put bones in my jar And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"”

I AM SHRIEKING 💀🤣 Forget the statue at City Hall, this guy is the *real* Spirit of Detroit. 🫡

Today’s line up for #mtgcommander old reliable Savra, Chainer that’s behind on updates and the Nelly Borca precon.

Conan, what is best in life?

@bulldrek.bsky.social this popped up in the shadowrun Reddit #wwe #shadowrun

Why is it that most of the people who are against abortion are people you wouldn't want to fuck in the first place? — Carlin

Religion is just a lie people tell themselves to get through life.

No one can afford to take time off work anymore.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

I do wonder what it costs financially to have an army occupying Los Angeles and why I keep being told the government doesn't have enough money to pay for public schools to buy supplies for their teachers

It’s not a riot, but there’s a very good chance the Trump administration is gonna turn it into one

I'll never get over how the best line in all of noir – "I've got eight slugs in me. One's lead, and the rest are bourbon" – doesn't come from Raymond Chandler or Dashiell Hammett, but Calvin and Hobbes

You ask me if I'm happy now That's good as any joke I've heard It seems since I've seen you last I done forget the meaning of the words If happiness is empty rooms and drinkin' in the afternoon Well, I guess I'm as happy as a clam… — Kristofferson

Antivaxx and libertarianism are the same--they can exist only when the majority of the population buys in to what it takes to live in a society, allowing the minority to think they are outsiders thriving on their own exceptionalism.

"As the Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion..." Treaty of Tripoli signed November 4, 1796

arguing against birthright citizenship in front of the supreme court while at the same time pitching a netflix show where immigrants compete for citizenship is such a perfect microcosm of america right now that it feels fake

Welcome to the Running Man - Hunger Games part of the dystopia

never let anybody tell u that evil does not exist

What the fuck happened to this world that vaccines became controversial? Fucking lunatics.

homicidal, suicidal, genocidal #rip #ECW

I’ve felt that.

Impostor Syndrome kicking in hard ahead of my interview tomorrow.

It was nice while it lasted. -L

I don’t comment on WWE much, I look forward to Steiner and Jacob Fatu colliding over the next decade.
