Mel Brooks having to bury Rob Reiner is against all laws of nature and I’m not ok about it

This was a really good first night of Hanukkah. I gotta figure out how to keep this feeling going.

The energy you put out there doesn't always come back in the timeframe you want it. Usually never happens that way. But when it comes close...

awwww you hate to see it

Tasting her lips

Been a minute since a political figure said something that made me tear up. It *hurts* how much American society has devalued authenticity.

Workers and a volunteer for the street-medicine nonprofit spent hours driving around several West Side locations Saturday, handing out hot cocoa, gloves, coats, sandwiches, scarves and badly needed medical care. Their human contact was met with welcome.

tfw it's so cold you actually clean house by choice bc... yeah, no anything but even thinking about opening the door

So there is already an ai-generated whitewashing campaign to bury the name of the Muslim man, Ahmed al Ahmed, who disarmed one of the Bondi Beach shooters, and replace his identity with a white guy name and that’s why even a thimble of our potable water powering this tech is too fucking much.

Shout out to the Department of Veterans Affairs for giving Veterans one more chance to die for their country

So if you're going to be doomscrolling today, at least make it a journey through decades of community creativity that helped shaped gaming as we know it. Maybe something you made is in here? doomscroll.cx

Philly asks for ICE Whistle kits... and after making a ton of kits weeks ago with @lefttheprairie.bsky.social and @jwolfe73.bsky.social I now have distributed all the kits I had on me :) Fuck ICE. Fuck ICE and this administration all the way up their stupid, fat fascist asses. Bear Down + Go Birds

Honestly people fighting back in these scrappy ways has been the thing that gives me hope. Too many of our leaders are useless. But ordinary people are stepping up in ways I couldn't even hope for.

Leveled 20 as a paladin and did my first two house call cuts tonight. This morning I hit a barbershop estate sale and picked up forged German shears and a vintage steel lather machine that still works. Also had some killer afghan kabob tonight.
