This is f'n bonkers. C'mon now, we have to be better than this at least.

I remember the conductor of the philharmonic spoke to my teammates and I and began his remarks with a question, "What is the most powerful sound in music?" After a few errant guesses he told us that, in his opinion, it's silence because that space between is where what really matter most happens.

Had my birthday dinner tonight with my oldest friends and family and it was so good the tip had a comma, but the laughs and hugs were priceless. I love you all more than I can ever express, thank you for being here and making this all worth while.

Amazon who? @bookshop.org has free shipping all weekend!

Workers used to beat management to death in front of their families. Could happen again.

Warm spiced cider with cognac, absolutely! Happy Thanksgiving y'all

Watching NETFELIX because you've had a few too many is an experience. Y'all be safe out there.

Finally, evidence of an actual war on Christmas.

Hi! Working on story for Bustle on women who left their big city corporate jobs for "Hallmark" lives, i.e., moved to a small town to open a bookstore, left finance for farm life, dumped a Bay Area tech gig to become a florist, etc. If that's you, I'd love to talk! DMs open, [email protected]

Charlotte is preparing for the invasion of Bovino and his CBP thugs. Donate to Carolina Migrant Defense, who are ramping up to fight back. And go one step further and get involved. Here you go.

There’s a reason Mamdani voted for himself under the Working Families Party. You’re seeing that reason why NOW. From now on, it’s @workingfamilies.org forward. May the old Democrat ways die.

Please, please, please let this be the first of many to step the fuck outta the way. Forgive me, but this is well overdue.

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

Corrupt assholes find each other.

The world won because Andrew Cuomo lost.

Mental health is a huge problem that needs real solutions. It can happen to anyone, including those in Congress. She obviously needs help and her family should get involved.

Public Service Announcement for fellow dungeon tubers! (tagging @colbypoulson.bsky.social because I know he had this issue with a short a couple weeks ago) YouTube automatically opts you in for AI *enhancements* to your video and audio. Here is where you can opt out:

FUCK SOCIAL MEDIA. MARRY BOOKS. KILL AI.

Up the hearts! ❤️🌲

Cops are great. Cc: @gregdoucette.bsky.social

Fuck off, Felicia.

The party is so weak and unable to do even basic candidate vetting that someone remains in the race for months before we know he sports a Nazi tattoo and is subsequently forced to cover it up. What a f'n clownshow. That anyone donates money to any candidate at this point is, frankly, insane to me.

It is not too much to ask a political party to usher from its ranks candidates for office that have Nazi tattoos. In fact, it's the least we must do.

It was here that I realized I played too many souls games with the kiddo.

Reformatting and installing new OS on my laptop tonight, wish me luck. See y'all on the other side.

Just finished @suckerpunchprod.bsky.social #GhostofYotei today and what a great story and game. Wonderful nods to Ghost of Tsushima in the end game too. This studio just builds great games and I can't wait to see what comes next. Another masterpiece.

If you're an MBA out to revolutionize a sports league, follow the Beer Line Method: go to a game and describe your idea to any five fans in line for concessions, and if they tell you it sucks major ass, buy their beer to say thanks for saving you money on AI match reports or NFT monkeys or whatever

America, we're fucking cooked.

This is how it must be done.

My new voting paradigm is simple, if I have clear and recent evidence the candidate has physically been in a grocery store or pumped their own gas, I'm open to voting for them. If I don't get that sense then they, and their campaign, can fuck off. We need real ones to lead, not more replicants.

Ranni's amazing, that is all.

Timeless track and a must listen, imo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=82s0...

Miserable asshole inevitably shows himself to be, indeed, a miserable asshole. This would be hilarious if it weren't for the fact these people control the levers of power in this country. I can't wait for his tribunal. Bring back public executions for these monsters.

Nature will teach you much, if only you have the will and patience to observe and listen.

It's beyond time for one here.

@suckerpunchprod.bsky.social I am about and hour and half into #GhostofYotei and am absolutely loving it so far. The music, the environmental storytelling, new combat mechanics, cut scenes - it's all amazing. This is another masterpiece.

Primary this motherf'er. C'mon NYC, I know you see what I see.

She's as charismatic as a fart in an elevator, no wonder why the party pushed her despite the fact that voters would prefer anyone else.

It's always the people you most expect.

Tonight's set in my headphones is an absolute banger, from start to finish. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGcx...
