Total War: Three Kingdoms has taught me that Liu Bei would have had a much easier time if he'd known what every other leader was going to do in advance. I appreciate that as soon as anyone declares themselves Emperor, the next two biggest faction leaders will as well.

If we're talking about things in Bluesky that are bad, there probably also needs to be a conversation made about how lists are handled, since you can pretty much just use lists to slander people if you want to, provided that you're a big enough asshole. Ask me how I know.

I am weirdly disappointed he didn't make it to 3k matches.

Trying to pick no more than per system here, with no super obvious picks like OOT: Nintendo: Rescue Rangers Genesis: Gunstar Heroes SNES: Saturday Night Slam Masters, Earthbound Saturn: Nights...into Dreams PS1: Twisted Metal 2, Final Fantasy Tactics N64: WWF: No Mercy Dreamcast: Skies of Arcadia

DOGS AND CATS LIVING TOGETHER! MASS HYSTERIA!!!

I'm gonna brag for a second: my "weight loss" goal from Thanksgiving through New Years was to try not to gain too much weight, since navigating that time frame on a diet is a nightmare. Well, yesterday I clocked in at my lowest weight in 3 years.

My favorite example of this phenomenon, BTW, is that I have had multiple people over the years claim Bernie Sanders was a champion of marriage equality, when he actively campaigned against it in his home state.

I'm going to say it plainly: Vote scolding is good, vote shaming is good. You should be reminded that the choices you make have consequences especially if those consequences are dire. If you don't like people pointing out what your decisions lead to, try making good decisions.

Wife and I showed the boys The Mummy tonight. That movie STILL holds up, and every single person in the movie is still IMPOSSIBLY gorgeous; the wacky comic relief characters are really good looking, and the leads are all mass extinction level hot.

Eric, it's honestly pretty gross for you to livestream yourself furiously masturbating on the internet.

Hey @itsjadynnow.com, your boy is doing good things for the Magic.

Anthony Black very suddenly being a pretty damn good starting guard is a welcome development

Tampa is going to get eliminated from the playoffs by a Falcons win, which sucks, but at the end of the day, they lost a whole bunch of games against bad teams they should've beaten into the ground. Fire Bowles. Into the sun, if possible.

Articles of Impeachment from the minority, that will never be allowed to hit the House floor, are pretty much a "strongly worded letter" by definition

This post of mine from August, which basically everyone ignored at the time, is suddenly getting likes and re-posts, and I have no idea why.

This has been talked about before, but "bash Democrats" has become a way to verify your authenticity in basically every non-shitlib branch of internet political discourse, and it's a huge problem. Centrist? Bashing Democrats shows your commitment to neutrality.

Potentially controversial pro wrestling opinion: Hiroshi Tanahashi meant more to pro wrestling than John Cena did. Note: this is not meant as any kind of knock on Cena, who was never my favorite wrestler, but was legitimately a very good "big match" guy in the WWE style

It really is amazing how often the "leftists" on Bluesky sound exactly the same as my ultraconservative dad and uncle when talking about Democrats, often right down to using the same talking points.

I can't stress enough how the "DO SOMETHING" stuff I'm seeing today is either just "give speeches that Green Lantern problems away" or stuff that is actually not possible to do as the minority.

This is just a list of speeches you want them to give.

McConnell had recessed the Senate by then, you fucking idiot

One thing I'm sure of is that the Democratic presidential candidate should regularly have someone from their staff walk into press briefings and pelt everyone there with paintballs for like 15 minutes.

This is all going to get even stupider

Oh, fuck, what did I just wake up to?

Always faithful terrible lizard

He was somebody they’d met, and therefore far more important than any of the people he hurt.

I guess I hit the Discover feed, because suddenly a whole bunch of people with the intellect and writing ability of 12 year olds on 4chan are showing up to yell at me.

The thing about Red Scare, and Chapo as well, albeit to a lesser extent, is that they're a group of white people whose political North Star is "hating Democrats", and there's already a party for white people who hate Democrats. The only thing left is how long until they realize they're Republicans.

It will never stop being funny to me that in ROTK, Luo Guanzhong invented a beautiful woman named Diao Chan to be the reason that Lu Bu betrayed Dong Zhuo, when by that point he'd already betrayed one person and would go on to betray like 8 more.

Fellas, if you're looking for a gift for the lady in your life that is somehow always cold, no matter what the actual temperature is, I cannot recommend a heated blanket enough. I think my wife loves her heated blanket more than she loves our children at this point.

My BIL got me this for Christmas, and I love it so much:

It very quickly turned into a catch-all for every grievance people had at the time, and that's never going to accomplish anything.

The thing about something like this is that people like Elizabeth Spiers don't write stuff like this because they think you're stupid. They DO, but that's not why they do this. They do it because they think you have the same lack of morals they do.

There's a lot that could be said about this on a cultural level or a political level, but we have forgotten the personal level: people owe Joseph Biden, the man specifically, an apology.

Just downloaded it. Immediately, the game asked me if I wanted to purchase roughly 45 add-ons, which honestly, as a ROTK fan, I kinda do?

the water thing about genAI is bullshit but the thing where it makes on-demand nudes and CSAM isn't and the thing where it talks you into killing yourself isn't and those seem pretty bad

“Another priest said, "Is it true you've said you'll believe in any god whose existence can be proved by logical debate?" "Yes." Vimes had a feeling about the immediate future and took a few steps away from Dorfl. "But the gods plainly do exist," said a priest. "It Is Not Evident."

So is everyone else suddenly getting a swarm of bots in their replies?

Willow Nightingale's Absurdist titantron is the vibe i'm aiming for in 2026

the FINAL main event of 2025. #AEWDynamite @refaubrey.bsky.social

WILLOW, THE TWO BELT BIRD!!!!

Old white guy in the front row of Dynamite in a Babes of Wrath shirt is my hero

MINA, I WILL NEVER CHEAT ON YOU WITH ORANGE CASSIDY

There was a Leaves is Plants sign!! #AEWDynamite

We're the peak of civilization and only discovered placing trashbags in a bin instead of piling them on the sidewalk last year.

you’re all too stupid and unsophisticated to enjoy a bagel with egg and cheese on it and we’re going to berate you if you say the ingredients in the wrong order

I said that vandalizing a synagogue was anti-Semitic

DOB was an obnoxious, obtuse asshole but he was our obnoxious, obtuse asshole.

Yeah, I think this is a good demarcation line for before and after it became clear to the masses that Trump didn't have the juice.
