Win a gold medal, get served fast food shit by POTUS. And you willingly swallow it. I have not gone from "So glad!" to disappointed faster in my life.

John Oliver just did a whole episode on how bad the changes to Xitter are and he didn't even talk about the bots.

For. Science. That might have bumped it to 13 for me, but I'm not the professional dog rater here.

OK, so there's not one USA Men's Hockey player willing to go full Corben Berson from Major League?

A lot of "If you could live in the past...." questions and my answer is always, "Nah." And I play D&D.

How... Literally How do you think you are a good person if you want to deport a fucking muppet? (Sorry about the language, Elmo.) We're leaving aside that bad Bunny is a citizen and can't be deported, but these people can't understand that there are actual citizens that aren't lily white.

"The world is full of compromise and infinite red tape, but the music's got the magic, you're one chance for escape, Turn me on, turn me up, It's your turn to dream. A little Magic Power makes it better than it seems." There is magic in music.

I am not watching the CTE Bowl. The idea that the commercials were a thing left 10 years ago. What are you doing that isn't superb owl?

Happy birthday, Mom. You would have been 84. Time for Manhattans and M&Ms.

So, @paultassi.bsky.social, I have my favorite D2 soundtrack tracks in my current playlist, so I went looking for videos of the missions. Because we can't play them anymore. I am discovering how clueless we were on the first pass. And remembering that shotguns, sniper rifles were Power weapons.

Sooo, there are some weird possible connections in these replies with someone I've never interacted with before? This account is followed by people I follow. And that first reply to me? I want to finish reading something so I can read something else. And *that* is their reply?

Karadec: "You don't win at yoga, Morgan." Morgan: "Not with that attitude." #HighPotential

Almost like people hate when a political party turns our country into a living hell idk

Also, I know this probably won't go far, but #WonderMan on Disney is so totally not what you were thinking it is. And Ben Kingsley continues to kill it as Trevor, Trevor Slattery.

I play D&D. You have no idea how well I can name things goofily. Yes that is now a word. Deal.

Sooo, #Daredevil #BornAgainS2 trailer. JESSICA JONES!!! I am not sure I understood how much I wanted more Krysten Ritter Jessica Jones until that 3 seconds in the trailer.

Every time pple think of saying, “why aren’t more publications covering [topic xyz],“ please don’t. This is why. been in media for 35 years & rich assholes destroyed it. media of past no longer exists. We are trying. Subscribe. But let go of the idea of “media” from 10-20-30 years ago. That’s gone.

Race as a construct is so powerful that only now are many people saying ‘they are killing us’. They have been killing us. We have all been us the whole time.

I continue to believe that the fastest way to get Stephen Miller fired is to convince Trump that Miller's ICE operations are what cost him the Nobel Peace Prize.

Yup, this. If this isn't seen as moderate given what's going on, then you are useless in fixing things.

It's a bad sign when the social media site you came to for Alf Hog, bird pictures, and @scalzi.com and @chuckwendig.bsky.social is full of the stuff you left Xitter for. In another rowing against the current post, Man are we supposed to get a lot of snow tomorrow. $200 for the people who shovel.

I'm going to row against the current here. Re-watching #SlowHorses, just started season 4. But Jackson Lamb is the best spy in the whole series, and I think Taverner is the only one who knows it.

Oh, @herdingphotons.bsky.social trying to peek into my bedroom. #5 Biggest Turn On. Well, at the risk of being just another CIS guy, FF. But not really "biggest". Because as much as it sounds cliche, I love my wife. And I'm not giving out this one.

@ratphooey.bsky.social liked this, so I will go with #4 - Do I believe in soulmates? No because I don't believe in souls. Also, the law of large numbers kind of says that a TTRPGer might meet a collaborative storyteller on a USENET newsgroup and hit it off.

#3 Want to tell someone something but won't? If I put it on the internet, aren't I telling them? But sure... Oh, I will rage against other drivers while in my own car and not say anything if we end up in the same parking lot.

#2 - Compliment Never Forgotten. My parents admitting to my sister and I that they fully believe they raised good children. 70s-80s Parents didn't always say it even when they believed it.

I mean, I can try? Not sure I have enough followers to get through them all, so I may have to cheat with Likes on other answers.

I'm not sure what the advertising or marketing purpose is, but FX has been showing the MCU movies in order for like three days now. Currently Infinity War. I have memories in FB where I was trying to watch in order, and now they are doing the whole damn thing.

So I don't see Lovretta here, @emandras.bsky.social, but please let her know that even though wife and I are re-watching #Killjoys, HJK is currently on my TV as Ghost and she has been really good. #NewAvengers Sorry, might be AntMan and WASP on TV now.

I listen to the last few Red War mission soundtracks for Destiny 2 and it really makes me want to play them again. @paultassi.bsky.social And I know we would just destroy them. But, in Payback, "You got us a TANK?" And Cayde's lament only for Zavala to show his love at the end?

First, what is a piece of broccoli? One floret? Calorie is king, but not all calories are equal, too.

Hey, @jaketapper.bsky.social, as a fellow Phila sports fan and who doesn't want to advocate you lose your job in this economy -- What the fuck. What the fuck. No. Seriously. What the fuck. Explain this to me. And maintain your morality.

I know I'm 9 hours late here, but it's a not doomscrolling day. The way you know we are in a bad place is all those "Protect and Serve" mottos are not protecting and serving. Even Jackson Lam is "My people suck, but they are MY PEOPLE. Fuck, with them at your peril."

Tonight I made Spaghetti Aglio e Olio. Made up from a video I saw of Scott Conant making it. I had no measurements. I probably used too much olive oil? #foodie Everyone liked it and a pound of spaghetti has no left overs.

1. jesus was jewish. i’m having to say that with increasing regularity. 2. the gospels contain a lot of judeophobia. 3. well-meaning christians: don’t tell jews that this arsonist isn’t a real christian. re-claim the tradition like a church father mad at marcion.

This thread because you want to say "not all men" and then a man gets angry with a woman defying him and kills her. On video. Then slurs her after he kills her.

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

Trans men are men. Trans women are women. Trans rights are human rights. No asterisk. No exceptions. No silence.

5 and 7 are my wife. I know that there is a lot of shit that gets posted solely for engagement, and the manosphere is very good at it, but come on. The guy said "never". You can't believe absolutes.

btw for those who don't know why Americans with chronic illness got like 75% more stressed on Jan 1st, it is not just because all the insurance rates blew up. On 1/1, deductibles reset. which means you have to spend some amount of money (up to $10k sometimes) before your insurance COVERS ANYTHING

Anyone who 1) likes Gavin Newsom 2) said it was “too early to worry” about who’s running 3) believes, like Gavin suggests, that the Democrats lost the election for being “too woke” Is: wrong

My rabies question from over a year ago is having a second revival and I have no idea why. Sure, it led to a rather horrifying thread of comments about rabies and people skirting with getting it. I hope it's because people are already understanding how bad rabies is.

Don't know how esoteric, but I want to learn how to use Roll20 better to make my group's gaming experience better. Also, jazz guitar is kind of esoteric, and I am teaching myself that in fits and starts.

Local NBC showed the World Darts Championship today. Littler v Van Veen. I built a bar in my basement, put in a dartboard. A lot of practice on my part. And these guys just throw doubles and triples at will. #Darts #DartsWorldChampionship

This. It isn't Dem Pols who stopped doing their Constitutional duties. This could have ended early if GOP Pols had done their duty.

#Killjoys S3E7 Written by Julie Puckrin. Dav: "You said we couldn't win head to head. Maybe we need to get dirtier?" Jonny: "Ass to mouth?"

The latest is not a distraction. It is him thinking he is doing the strong thing that a weak person thinks is strong. His whole administration is cosplaying as the best version of what the people who are the worst versions think are the best versions.

Hokk. #Killjoys Lovretta was kind enough to say it was plum brandy or plum gin. And this was so good in my last re-watch.

I am sharing the thread even though I haven't read it all because just this first post is a banger. (Do the kids still say banger? I just turned 59 and might be out of touch now.)

I feel like putting on BlueSky a post where Grok apologizes for posting CSAM might be the best reason to *not* post Xitter content on BlueSky ever? That said, I thought we were there with all the Nazi posts shared here, so what do I know. Some of us came here to not see that shit ever.
