I mourn for old Twitter because The Format just announced a new album and the one person I know who would be as psyched about this as I am is a connection that I’ve lost forever

I can’t stay up until midnight for Taylor Swift, but I think I can watch 30 minutes of Campaign 4 of Critical Role

I wonder how Shonda Rhimes feels about writing a show about election rigging by the Republican Party in 2012. It’s everything they scream about except it only happened in fiction.

Rewatching Scandal for the first time in ages. Not sure it holds up super well. Kerry Washington can chew scenery for days and I simultaneously love watching it and cringe at the pattern and cadence of the writing. It's like hearing what Brian Michael Bendis does well on a comic page out loud.

Feels like this summer my brain has been Irrevocably Broken and I cannot focus even with the help of caffeine. I haven't been on my ADHD meds in ten years but it might be time. Switching to browser-only for social apps to see if I can dopamine detox for a while, see if it helps.

Flew for the first time since hernia surgery and found out that my metal mesh crotch reads as suspicious in the full body scanner which means I’m subject to groin pat downs in airports for eternity

Continuing to love Avengers Academy and this week was no exception. The backstory of our villain this week was particularly fun, especially given its release in June 👀

Damn straight, Pyro

My neighbor put up what I can only refer to as a fascist flag pole in direct response to Trump’s at the White House. Indiana, man.

I don’t know, man. The real world outside is a wreck but I just devoured Chuck Tingle’s BURY YOUR GAYS and yes. “Tragedy is inevitable. Fortunately, so is joy.” So now we work for a future where more joy is possible.

This morning I saw a post reminding us that reinstating the draft was part of Project 2025 and I feel like tonight was the next step toward justifying it

Every waking day brings new horrors

*taps sign* We can condemn Mike Lee without defending Al Franken

Bro, can you shake me of this anhedonia?? Bro, I want to feel something again

A guy that I had a deep, unrequited crush on in college just invited me to like his holistic wellness coach Instagram. Dodging bullets like twelve years down the road

Vuvuzelas only exist to make the worst person you know at a soccer game somehow more annoying

News out of Minnesota is terrifying this morning, some real movie plot craziness. Stay safe out there if you’re protesting today.

Definitely a “Magneto was right” kind of day for me

Cyberpunk 2077 is going to ruin my life

I read two comics today (!) IMPERIAL #1 was fun but I’m so disconnected from Marvel canon right now that I have no idea where I missed the stuff that led up to this issue

I seriously need to clean up my contacts. Once a week Duolingo tells me someone from my contacts named something like “Joe Tinder” wants to connect

UncannyXmen.net is highlighting some X-characters for Pride Month and I’m laughing my tail off because I completely forgot about the existence of Pyro II.

Indianapolis Pride is on June 14th, which is about as solid of a No Kings protest as I can think of joining

Batman/Deadpool shouldn’t work, but if someone can make it work, it’s probably Zeb Wells

What’s the one comic that was solicited and never came out that you most want to exist? For me it’s Jonathan Hickman’s FEEL BETTER NOW, the story about a group of psychiatrists choosing to manipulate their patients. Problematic? Maybe. But I want to know how he would have handled the story.

Just saw that Peter David has passed. I have a complicated relationship with mourning him. His X-Factor work was super impactful to me when I was younger but his hateful comments toward the Romani people in his older years soured me on him.

Survivor should have warned me I was going to need tissues for tonight’s episode

How is this email not about Pete Hegseth

I’m rocking like 50% on drawing the evil team (almost always as the Imp) on Blood on the Clocktower online in the ten or so games I’ve ever played but tonight I finally won as the Imp. My heart rate jumped to 120 in the final round. Now please let me never be evil again.

A lot of gay folks I know are going to be verrrrrry mad about this www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-...

Robert De Niro in Zero Day looks like the old guy from Up

Every time some elected democrat sucks off Reagan, I think about Duane.

I hate-hate-hated this past week’s episode of The Traitors. I’ve never been less happy about a Traitor’s decision.

Azarath Metrion Zinthos!

The Pope Francis double pneumonia news reminds me of my first boyfriend, a devout Catholic who, before sex, dutifully flipped around his portraits of Jesus Christ, Pope John Paul II, and Pope Benedict every time so as not to offend their holy eyes.

I feel like there is something to be said about the prescience and pessimism of the X-Men returning to the status quo of being hated and feared from their era of great hope and elation prior to the 2024 US presidential election.

Quick intro to Sydette's amazing "Baby has hat" from a talk she did in 2018!

half time show 2025

This is the way forward. Legal requirement to default to chron feed of opted-in content, or you can’t sell ads in the territory. Algo must be at least one click away on all socials. This is necessary. Social media isn’t going away, and the gravity of algo feeds is fascist content.

Ongoing list of people I have a blood feud with: 1.) Lucy from Duolingo

My partner’s work DEI program is called JEDI which is fitting, because the person trying to end it is clearly a Sith

There are so many grassroots protests on so many different dates but like have we settled on one BIG one? I’d like for us to have as much impact as possible but we’re getting zilch from people I’d have hoped would lead on this

Not sure if I really like any particular music genre right now or if it’s just time to admit I don’t care what genre it is as long as it’s angsty

This is the week that everyone in the US realizes that Trump is gonna fuck up their lives in a real, concrete way. This HAS to be the week that elected Democrats back up their talk with ACTION. At the very least, vote against every Trump nominee. Deny unanimous consent.

Everything today.

I would say 911 dispatchers provide a valuable service but it would be ok to criticize them if you called them and instead of sending an ambulance they said "Someone should do something about this!" and hung up

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
