just finished Superman (2025) and it was pretty great. i'm not always a fan of superhero movies because i feel a lot of them lack identity but this one really hit the mark for me. it has its corny parts like they all do, but it doesn't feel like it undermines the movie's core message. solid ~9/10

It’s loud, sustained screaming Friday everyone!! Make sure to travel to your closest local forest to gather and start wailing as long and as loudly as possible!!!

Leslie Odom Jr. is going back to Hamilton on Broadway. For tooootally unrelated reasons I am devastated that I'm not closer to New York 😭

we found mushrooms today but not the right kind

Something quietly heartbreaking is when folks (unintentionally) downplay the seriousness of like... current circumstances. When I say "I can't go to that event - I can't safely travel to the USA right now, or maybe ever again" I am voicing my reality, not seeking an optimistic outlook.

If you're protesting ICE in Chicago, let me know at [email protected] if you need free legal training or legal support. If you're arrested protesting ICE, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

it's insane to me that Discord STILL doesn't seem to have a solution for adding new channels to community servers and giving them visibility to existing users making people who aren't Discord-savvy dive into the channels & roles menu to see a channel they should already have access to is painful 😅

Just one more Jetpens order.. just one more, I promise!

i swear winging it in the kitchen always produces some of the best results for the least stress, i love just seeing what i have and throwing something together

It's been a while. Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...
