Oh I forgot Insomniac Games was making a Wolverine game…

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

Get to the Dr, actually manage to find a parking spot for once and immediately get asked how much I bench by a random person in the parking lot. I don’t actually do bench press at the moment. 🙈

Can't help but notice that the media breathlessly reporting on the messages that shooters write on their bullets seems to have been followed by a surge of shooters writing messages on bullets

I love how much camp Olivier brings to Trails in the Sky.

So strange! Anyway, let your fingers do the walking. I’m still waiting on my callbacks or an email return. #pdx #portland

All that planning I did last week for this gigantic project is being thrown out because we have to shift from automating a process to manually managing it via an excel spreadsheet due to a lack of buy-in from related groups. 🤬

Got him just in time.

So I guess I was lucky and didn’t actually get any side effects from my vaccines on Sunday. The blahs I felt that evening were just hunger, and I felt fine yesterday.

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

BREAKING — Notices for the Disney+ price increase went out at noon ET today, confirming my scoop from last night. Details: www.vulture.com/article/disn...

Reminder that Mahmoud Khalil is still being deported for his 1A protected speech.

if you have a Christian family you’ve been wanting to wordlessly abandon tomorrow would be a great day to do it

I cannot emphasize this enough: The regime has overextended itself. It is vulnerable to protest and dissent. They have not consolidated power and we are entirely capable of keeping them from doing so. Doomers are not realists.

A visit to the Aquarium of the Pacific to see the sea otters would improve my existence immensely.

My solar company just tried to sell me a Tesla battery for my system. Again. Had to explain under no circumstances would I be purchasing something from Tesla. Their response was “we rebranded the batteries to our company” (but they’re still manufactured by Tesla). 🙅‍♂️

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

I really need you guys to internalize this. Government and corporations ripped Kimmel off the air for lightly badmouthing their behavior. Coordinated pushback by us is what forced them to cave in and put Kimmel back on air. Again. The fascists caved in *due to coordinated pushback.*

kimmel will be back on tv but hold the celebrations; the trump assault on free speech rights continues. those who stood up for kimmel need to stand up & rally for universities, public media, access to govt information, independent journalism, etc - and against trump's propaganda.

Do y'all understand the power of boycotts yet? And will you take us seriously when we use them to reject genocide? Your activism *cannot* begin and end with Jimmy Kimmel's reinstatement And tbh don't resubscribe to Disney and Hulu

In an abusive relationship, the perpetrator makes the biggest power grabs when he feels his control over the victim is slipping. I’m keeping that in mind whenever we see massive escalations from Trump. It’s all still very dangerous. But these moments are a sign of weakness, not strength.

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

I cannot believe this still needs saying, but, and I say this as an autistic individual, vaccines do not cause autism. Whatever comes out of the White House is aimed specifically at undermining recognition and support for autistic individuals, and minimising our lives and experiences.

I don't want a cure for autism, I want a society that respects autistic individuals enough to accommodate us and supports us in a way that allows us to thrive.

Releasing a Star Wars trailer like "break glass in case of PR nightmare.'

*clears throat* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

There’s a spot on my head right above my ear that keeps twitching and it’s driving me up the wall.

that's exactly right 🎨

AUTISM and TYLENOL A study of 2.5 million children showed a small association between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and autism—but this finding DISAPPEARED when full siblings were compared. “Acetaminophen use during pregnancy was not associated with children’s risk of autism…” Full article:

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

It absolutely sucks when a lot of your favorite interests come from a company that’s being run by people with no backbone to stand up for and protect its people without needing to bend their knees to absolute POS.

THE GUNSLINGER ON THE BEACH (1982) Acrylic on Board - 28" x 18" The winter months of 1980-81 were tough. My wife and I became parents with the arrival of our daughter in November, and I needn't tell anyone who has children what that means in terms of lifestyle changes...like lack of sleep. 1/4

Happy first day of autumn 🍂

We know what BS RFK Jr. is going to peddle today at his autism "announcement." MAHA all stems from parents not able to deal with their own genetics as the source of their kids' autism. So instead we're going to get vaccines and Tylenol as the cause to make MAHA fans feel better about themselves.

I love how the Trails series treats NPCs. So many of them grow and travel across multiple games. Getting to see their successes after you initial helped them is so satisfying.

Fevers are dangerous early in pregnancy and Tylenol is the only fever reducer pregnant people are supposed to take. In this freak’s mind, having a baby with congenital anomalies incompatible with life is *less bad* than having a child with autism

Got my flu and COVID vaccines. Yay science! (Also, oops got a little crispy yesterday 🙈)

Ships make manifests of things on board because a ship with a list means a risk of capsizing.

Squeeze pouches of guacamole are a wonderful invention.

I got up later than normal and my chest/biceps + cardio workout ran so long today that I now have to combine two meals so I can fit everything in before bed and it’s so much food for where I’m at right now. Of course, once the bulk starts, it’ll eventually be this much food for every meal. 😮‍💨

Almost hit 12 miles of walking today. I’m sore and exhausted.

I want uppies and to be crushed in a powerful bear hug right now.

I can’t help it. The grackles are still here, and need to be photographed 🤣 The male Common Grackles usually take every opportunity to display, especially in the spring! But it’s Fall, and this male was displaying a lot! Apparently, he knows what he looks like🤣 #Birds #photography #wildlife 🪶

My copy of Trails in the Sky hasn’t arrived yet, so I guess I’m gonna keep playing the demo while I wait.

Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)

The Jimmy Kimmel fallout must be really hurting Disney Cruise Line. Just got an offer for 40% off sailings between mid-October and the week before Xmas. From my understanding they rarely have discounts.

Growing is fun and cool. Highly recommend.
