Ruin a band with a Sepreme Court Justice: Edward Douglas White Snake

I never resent mosquitoes, workouts alone, or people leisurely walking to places as I do when there are dumbbell split squats involved. Lord sweet tiny baby ninja robo Jesus save my quads (and me from the disquiet in my soul) 💀 #workout #weightlifting

I guess I just think it shouldn’t be this easy for them. There are so many ways it could be harder and hundreds of people are just selling us all out

I'm putting it on the table: Cynthia Erivo's voice is once in a generation. She is, I'm arguing, the greatest singing voice alive today. The end. Hard stop. There are many greats, but there is only one Cynthia Erivo.

Lessons from being online since 1995 1. Brandolini's law: "The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit is an order of magnitude bigger than that needed to produce it." 2. Chill before serving. (Mine) 3. It's irony when the actor or observer is "confidently unaware." 4. On the Media's rules.

lol. I love this Spicy Newsom we get now!

It’s #Celeste OST and tofu stir fry tonight, folks! Lena Raine killed it with this (the original and the B-sides)! <3 🧑‍🍳 🍳 🎶

So one thing I'm noticing about #Silksong is I feel like I keep getting to the "well ..now where do I go?" point way more often than I remember getting in the first HK. There's something fundamentally more video-game-y about this one. Can't tell if that's real or just it being a sequel. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The U.S. government is trying to deport Ohio children’s hospital chaplain Ayman Soliman, alleging tenuous connections to terrorism. If DHS succeeds, experts say it could hand the Trump admin. a “sledgehammer” to use on mass deportations. ➡️ Read the full story: www.propublica.org/article/ayma...

Also, on the #gaming front, I can confirm that the #Dredge has a soundtrack that is excellent #mealprep #music! Spooky-but-jaunty accordion for broccoli choppin and tofu prep? Yes plz. #gaymer

We are at the “We should look at solar sooner than later because TX isn’t going to fix its grid and the USG isn’t interested in keeping the tax credit” part of the decline of the US as a force for good in the world. But solar will be cool if we can afford it! ☀️ 🔋

Gandalf risking a little more light in the Dwarf city in #LotR Fellowship still gives me chills. To date, it’s one of the most memorable and moving pieces of cinema I know. That score, that shot, the visuals — fuuuuckin’ magic even all these years later! 🤩 #movies

Not a fantastic picture (I’ll share better ones that Lyndon took when I have them), but Red from @supergiantgames.bsky.social ‘s #Transistor is complete for now! Next up: a #Hades thigh piece! #tattoo #getinked #pcgaming #gaymer 🥳

Because I’m now a physical media collecting crazy person, I’m settling down watching the 4K UHD BluRay of #LotR Fellowship of the Ring for the first time since I got it (a bday gift)! Perfect tattoo recovery evening activity. 🙂‍↕️ 😌

@alamodrafthouse.bsky.social had the volume up too high, but otherwise #DemonSlayer Infinity Castle was a visual *feast*. It's weird to me how they pick which demons to use for storytelling (and how much time they spend on any one demon's flashback). 🤔 Anyway, part 2's gonna' be wild! :3 #anime

After a LOT of going I’m circles, I finally found the ding dang ol’ float coat for my girl Hornet! I could have sworn the area it was in had been sealed at one point, so I never went back and looked at it. Sure enough…. /sigh. Anyway, onward! ⚔️ 🐜 #Silksong #gaymer #pcgaming

My city’s LGBTQ+ center may have to shut down after it lost federal funding. I couldn’t afford to donate much, but i guess I have a few followers here, so i figure I can at least help by spreading the word. If this resonates with you, please consider donating. secure.everyaction.com/MZ9IqyUmMU6x...

I hope the mosquitos who manage to sneak little nibbles on me seemingly mid-rep during a workout all explode horribly. I never find any evidence that this happens, but I choose hope! 😡 🦟 🦟 😩

Apple’s iPhone 17 is here

Found on IG@billymurphyart. It is poignant but also made me chortle, which I'd argue is the best kind of web comic :)

A week in Palm Springs at a gay, clothing optional resort creates a lot of feelings. I’m still collating most of them, but one of them is clear: the workout grind continues with new force! I dunno what I’m chasing, but forgoing the chase isn’t an option. Weights and muscle must go up, fat down.

Kinda excited about this Knives Out :)

lol. Sassy!

This #SilkSong launch is wild, yall. 😂. Best of luck to the IT and partner teams desperately trying to deal with the throngs of nerds desperately trying to finally remove their Silksong clown wigs this morning. And congrats to @teamcherry.bsky.social on an epic launch! *waits in his clown wig* 🤡

#LadiesWhoLift: ok to give you compliments on your form when you’re killin’ it? I complimented a lady in the gym I’m using while traveling bc her RDL was gosh dang perfect, and all the dudes around us were bro-lifting it up. But then I remembered I’m a 6’1” dude approaching at a gym 🙈 #workout 1/

I finally touched Have a Nice Death for the first time in any real way. I’m still very early, but it’s wild how beautifully animated and drawn it is. The art is excellent! 😍 #pcgaming #gaymer

Discord client being prescient 😂 #USA

I don’t know if people say it enough, but Michael Giacchino deserves every ounce of credit he gets (and maybe some he doesn’t get). Even before you consider his decades of amazing work in film, if all you evaluated was Rogue One and the new Trek films, he’s basically unstoppable.

Hometown leaders fucked up here and should never have gone along with this. They certainly shouldn't have kept enabling him to illegally install shit into neighborhoods just so this thing could then create water supply challenges. Like ...what the fuck, MCC? Shame on you. >:/

I thought about it some more and ... I dunno. Alien Earth isn't good. Maybe they just need a bit more time to get some of those threads to start connecting to something? and/or the VFX and writing to get its sea legs? But .. . first three eps are kind of a dumpster fire. 🤷🏻‍♂️

#DawnOfWar still holds up, y'all. I grabbed the Definitive Ed recently and am gladly reminded just how _good_ this game was! Here's hoping that the recently revealed DoW4 goes back to its roots! WAAaAaaAaaAagh! #pcgaming #rts #warhammer40k #gaymer

Bought more good.store soap. I couldn’t decide which ones so I just got one of every bar plus some shampoo bars. @hankgreen.bsky.social MOAR SOAP! 🧼 😌

It got delaaaaayed. 😭 (Hopefully just 'til tomorrow BUT STILL)

My wildly expensive, plays-everything BluRay player arrives tomorrow, and I'm weirdly excited about it. :3 I will unfortunately be in the office likely when it arrives. :<

Seeing people gush about Alien Earth has me going full Mugatu. The show is a mess, yall. The acting performances are really strong, so kudos there. Sets are cool. VFX are a mess. Xeno seems throw-away. There is no suspense. They keep trying to write narrative and emotional checks they can’t cash. 🤷‍♂️

Okay look yes basically everything Zach Snyder has made since Man of Steel is 😬. But I still hold that Man of Steel, visually and in some of its performances, was actually pretty rad. That score is peak Hans Zimmer, Zod's character was awesome, and some of the art design was really cool. 🤷🏻‍♂️

oOOOOOoooo 🤩

I know it’s pretty predictably Elder Millennial of me, but I’ve officially started my journey to having some non-zero physical collection of UHD BD content! Not looking to fill a wall with clamshells, but there is an appeal to having steel cases of stuff I super like that’s worth collecting!

The rich don’t spend the money they have, and the poor don’t have money to spend. This is a problem when 70% of the economy relies on consumer spending. Closing our nation's wealth gap isn’t just the right thing to do. It’s essential to save our economy. https://youtu.be/S6dCh48b4oI?feature=shared

oh nooooo #Battlefield6 is super good y'all. They've got a winner on this one, I think. If they can stick the launch landing, avoid monetization bullshit, and keep that content train rolling, they're gonna' have a hugely successful game on their hands! #pcgaming #gaymer #firstpersonshooters

The difference in how bad it feels to do squat and RDL’s in a 98F #garagegym vs 92F is pretty wild. Last week I legit struggled and ultimately didn’t finish because it was 98F in here (105ish outside, HI of about 114). Death. Today it’s only 92F in here (90F out, HI of 96F), and it’s WAY better. 😎

Had to drop volume on the decline press tonight. Too many upper body days too close together on account of last week’s cadence getting off, I guess. Ego swallowed, progress continues, injury risk mitigated. It’s better to progress more slowly than to halt progression to 0 by hurting myself! 🙂‍↕️ 🥲

Holy shit this is awesome :O Fan video for @helldivers2.bsky.social that's epiiiiiiic!! Hat tip to the artist(s)!! #pcgaming #gaymer

So I started up on #Grounded2 with some friends just recently since it’s now in EA, and literally everyone in my party was smitten and charmed by Sloane Beaumont’s performance. @stephaniekerbis.bsky.social is absolutely *killing* it. Also the game itself is awesome so far. Buggiesssss <3

Guys the degree to which trying to use the Facebook mobile site in Firefox on iOS is bad has no actual words to describe it. It is terrrrrrrrrrrible. Lol. If my mom wasn’t there I’d nuke my account and be done with it. Uuuuuugh 🥀

I’m too smooth brain for games like this, but it sure looks neat!

Cringe at scale! ✨ 🤡

Yall when the thermometer reads about 98F here in my #garagegym, I *feel* it. Everything feels harder, anything with lots of hip hinging or bending over makes me reel when I stand up, and it feels like rest timers have to triple to get me even 80% of the way back to Ready state. 🥵 🫠 #texassummer

Awesome.

Emails show that IRS chief counsel Andrew De Mello said a recent DHS request did not comply with the law. Two days after refusing the demand to turn over more than 7 million home addresses, De Mello was pushed out of the top legal job.
