Public Safety Announcement:

I’ve started and deleted this rant many times tonight, but: Investor Owned Utilities should not be allowed to exist. Especially ones that have killed customers repeatedly, and only maintain infrastructure because they’ve lost lawsuits. The existence of IOU’s is another failing of society.

Did the math on streaming fundraising this year: @trevorproject.bsky.social: $2,102 @translifeline.org: $1,858 Extra Life: $2,765 @scalpelfun.bsky.social: $2,500 Total raised: $9,225 Heck yes! What an amazing year, thanks to viewers like you! Thank you to everyone who watched and chipped in!

Where’s the setting here in bsky that lets me only see if someone awful is trending only if it’s because they died or something hilarious (and horrible to them) happens. Bonus points if they died hilariously.

Fix your hearts or die

Did he get possessed by the ghost of Don Imus?

You will be visited by three spirits.

The parking lot of my local grocery store recently increased the number of lights. Apparently the lighting director is the ghost of David Lynch.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Stars (Wars nor Trek), LOTR, or Marvel.

Yep. Second week in December here. Sure am glad I have spent so much of my life trying to be environmentally conscious when it just doesn’t matter because billionaires and industry and the military just do what they want. Oh well. Good thing I don’t have children.

I have made an egg nog Brandy Alexander for @qryztinker.bsky.social and we are decorating our small holiday tree, so it’s time… A festive holiday Nog to you all!

Why yes, I did already order one. It was medically necessary.

So, despite owning and loving this album for decades now, I only just learned today that a lyric in “The Witness Song” is not “a winter fuck will pick me up” but is actually “a winter fog moved thickly on” Sorry, Nick. I like my version better. youtu.be/WLXMqZBiHzM?...

Not only am I in the top 10% of board game streamers, I’m also in the top 10% for the game FIGHT CRAB! My continued dominance of the streaming world continues unopposed! Look for my chocolate bars and other worthless merch in stores never.

It's the most wonderful time of the year.

“Will you help me with my taxes?” or “Will you help me figure out what I should save for retirement?”

Or find low-power AM radio stations.

You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you? This will not end well for me.

I wasn’t afraid of Excel.

Anyone posted this one yet?

When you’ve been watching Ken Burns’ “The Revolutionary War” and decide you would like to virtually visit some of those historical sites by loading up Fallout 4 again. (Plus an alt start mod so I can ignore the main plot completely.)

This Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember and honor our trans siblings who’ve lost their lives to anti-trans violence. Let’s recommit to fighting systemic oppression, while we also recommit to cultivating our resilience. #RestInPride #trans #TDOR #TransDayOfRemembrance

OH WELL WHY NOT

What a weekend! We blasted past all our goals and got so many gaming incentives that we need to do a bonus game to make our way through (there’s still TWO more tanks to fight!). That’s a great problem to have! Thanks to all our donors and the viewers who hung our with us all weekend for the kids.

It's Transgender Awareness week, as we take time to remember those we lost, please check on you trans friends. It's really dark out here and it's getting harder each week. Please help us where you can.

Holiday Zardoz has come to Halifax

GAME ON!! It’s day two of #EXTRALIFE for Team Sensible Shoes. There will be so many tanks! And magma creatures! And banter! twitch.tv/blarkytopia

When your boys @blarkytopia.bsky.social and @funranium.bsky.social get discount heart shaped pepperoni pizza together during a game-a-thon and they indulge you with a picture, possibly due to the things they say that make your brain touch the hot stove. More good times planned for tomorrow.

GAME ON! Team Sensible Shoes goes back into the mines for #EXTRALIFE 2025! twitch.tv/blarkytopia

LOOK AT THESE HANDSOME MOTHERFUCKERS! Ready to face all the chaos that #EXTRALIFE can deliver! Join us tomorrow morning at 9am PST for a weekend of monster slaying, mutations, and TANKS! And of course, the banter.

Shuffle brought up “Laura Palmer’s Theme” while I was driving to an appointment, and my brain kept trying to insert the first drum break from Moby’s “Go” in it. Thanks, brain.

Thanks to @bumblebike.bsky.social I have the wonderful backstory of a Ninja Assassin who becomes a Traveling Monk! He has studied the shuriken, but gave up that partying to study the bell. This is gonna be exciting!

Today is the last day to be the decider of the background class for both @funranium.bsky.social and me for #EXTRALIFE this weekend. Who was my humble Traveling Monk before he studied the bell? Who was Phil’s surly Enforcer before he studied the breaking fingers? www.extra-life.org/participant/...

I’m getting this message from my new wifi router tattooed on my forehead so the people will know who they’re dealing with.

Do i want to know why the toilet needs tongs? I fear no

When the villain of a Star Wars novel reveals themselves to be… Elon Musk.

ONE WEEK FROM TODAY: Team Sensible Steps up to the horrors of Shadows of Brimstone for our annual #EXTRALIFE marathon to help the kids! Plenty of incentives to affect our characters at game start are available, and even more will be available on the game days! www.extra-life.org/participant/...

Watched “The Black Hole” while sleeving cards and prepping game materials. I will always love that this Disney movie from 1979 unequivocally says “this terrible and hubristic madman? He absolutely winds up in Hell trapped in his own creation.” We need more endings like that.

Sobering news for a lot of top Democrats, tonight, as they realize people would prefer they actually fucking do something.

While you were out partying I studied the Devil’s Wheel.

The world would be a better place if “Pickle Surprise” had been taught in schools. youtu.be/IC0R5afkJj4?...

Oh my. Balatro *in* my Vampire Survivors? I may need to fire up the old livestream just to torture the world with my giddiness over this combo. Not for a month or two though, heh. youtu.be/hU2fxy8mDmc?...

The Magma Giant is painted, and I’m really proud of how it turned out. Get ready to watch it beat the stuffing out of Team Sensible Shoes in three weeks when we do our annual #EXTRALIFE marathon of Shadows of Brimstone!

I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone

I miss when we all dressed like this and carried all this gear around. A simpler time that smartphones ruined and now no one talks about it.

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only

So far we have several mutations, a character who’s been bitten by a vampire, some delicious drinks, and THREE TANK FIGHTS… and we’re still a month from game day! Pile on the chaos for Team Sensible Shoes, and help us help the kids! www.extra-life.org/participant/...
