I wrote about the Supreme Court's latest disgusting anti-trans ruling. I wrote about it because I refuse to act like taking away constitutional rights and allowing legal discrimination is okay just because it's happening to people who don't poll well in a diner in Ohio. In @thenation.com

Finally rolling with Torment 1 and low paragon Whirlwind Barbarian. Fury management continues to be a problem cause I am getting terrible RNG. This recycled season has left me super unimpressed

Today’s workout was something else! 25 minutes on the elliptical followed by 25 minutes of lifting. Neither was earth shattering alone but together … suffice to say I burned a lot of calories

As always, @elienyc.bsky.social gets to the heart of these “rulings” and clearly highlights the terribleness of it all.

Today’s “rulings” highlight that there can be no way forward without significant court reform.

Honestly, I've been scathingly critical of court-packing. Still think it's dangerous. But this court is the best argument for it in a century.

On the last day of June let’s just say it louder for the folks in the back- #Trans rights are human rights! 🏳️‍⚧️ To all those living their truth- nothing but love and respect. Hope the entire LGBTQ community had an amazing Pride month with family and friends. Keep shining.

Workouts good but need to tighten up the diet a bit and drop a couple of pounds. Pretty meh about the new (recycled) season of Diablo4. A bit downtrodden that a national milestone is so replete with sorrow as opposed to joy. On an upside the new kitchen is amazing

next time you hear someone “throws like a girl” this is what you should assume they mean

@mordotus.bsky.social and I have a great idea. A rap battle between Elmo and Yoda. Someone please make this happen.

I know I have very few followers that engage with me, but… I’ll never understand why people want to have multiple “system of record”. If you have multiple sources of truth, it doesn’t matter how many. In reality all you have is *Zero*

3.1 miles (5k) on elliptical fat burner program. 34 min 20 some odd seconds. 5.4 mph average at 143 bpm. This old guy is tired now

Workouts going OK but definitely not setting the world on fire. The world of IT continues to be silly. The new kitchen layout works so well! Hope everyone has an amazing day.

Torment X Mephisto defeated (finally) #Diablo4

Pretty crazy last few days. Workouts good, post PTO work crazy. Diablo pretty solid and the last kitchen bits get done tomorrow. Late in wishing everybody a happy Pride month. Keep on shining folks

And we are live! Massive thanks to everyone who contributed to this. Reading your posts made me so much madder than I ever knew was possible

Lots of great things about being home with the folks… but sweet potato casserole is near the top of the list

The PS5 Portal has worked surprisingly well.

The core problem with "surveillance pricing" isn't the pricing, it's the *surveillance*, and the way to fix this is to ban most forms of data collection. There's simply no good reason to allow companies to build highly detailed dossiers full of our personal information.

Squatting! On a Thursday! In this Economy?!?

NEW: The Colorado Democratic Party has formally condemned and censured Governor Jared Polis for granting clemency to Tina Peters. Polis is hereby banned from speaking or being honored at party events. 90% of CDP central committee members voted to reprimand Polis.

Man I am cake walking Torment 10 on #Diablo4 with my Penetrating Shot Cold Shade Rouge Build (all Mythics acquired) but I cannot even come close on that TormentX Mephisto fight. Get my ass handed to me.

So Many Meetings.

Yesterday was legit hard gym day. Trap bar deadlifts 6 reps with 430lbs on top set. Sore today for sure but did OK on elliptical (5.4mph avg 30 min). Final hardwood stain and sealant goes on today and then the kitchen project is mostly done!

Lifting today went well but I’m fairly certain I pushed it a bit too far- still recovering from the sinus infection. Appliances delivered & the only thing left is the last hardwood stain/seal on Monday. So nice to have a kitchen again. #Diablo4 landed Ring of Starless Skies last night: Torment 10

Another day, another round of dealing with this cold turned sinus infection. Hard lifting yesterday but think it is light cardio for the next few days so my body can finally kick this illness

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms—of both blood and choice. May you feel celebrated and loved today. And for anyone who struggles with Mother’s Day for whatever reason, may you experience some peace.

Happy Mother’s Day to @giggler.bsky.social An amazing lady, partner, and mother.

On a non-video game note: apparently my cold morphed into sinus infection territory. Doc gave me some antibiotics in between that and the neti pot I should be doing OK. Did 20 some odd minutes of cardio on the elliptical than 20 some odd minutes of light lifting.

Almost over this damn cold. Have not lifted since Wednesday. Just light cardio. This morning I cranked the cardio intensity up a tiny bit and did a few pushups and dumbbell curls just to let em know I’m still thinking about them.

Anne Hathaway, you will ALWAYS be that girl. 💙💛

I had a good conversation with Dean last night

#Diablo4 Lord of Hatred credits rolled. ~14 hours, level 67 Warlock. The story was sooooo good. Well done @blizzard.com

Made it to level 30 with my Warlock and decided it was time for bed ;) #Diablo4

I would just like to extended my in advance gratitude to the #Blizzard IT team that invariably will work a lot tonight into tomorrow to get #Diablo4 Lord of Hatred up and stable.

Holy heck what a workout. Trying a new approach to some stuff and went pretty well. 25 minutes of lighter stuff before the big exercise. Squats: 245x5 / 285x5 / 325x5 (only gonna lie those last couple were tough).

Pretty excited for the Lord of Hatred expansion coming to #Diablo4 next week. I’m not overly optimistic about getting to play on Monday night (due to normal release woes) but I’ve taken all day off on Tuesday to slay the forces of evil ⚔️

Pretty much 50% done with the kitchen remodel. Some cabinets start going up today.

Decent enough workout week so far - a tad weird not doing squats but I’ll remediate that on Sunday. And am I taking next Tuesday off from work to play the Diablo4 Lord of Hatred expansion? Yeppers. Warlock !!

Repost if your account is a safe space for the trans community. 🏳️‍⚧️ Always has been, always will be. Don’t like that? Fuck you. You’re not welcome in my safe space.

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit

This is FANTASTIC

Good travel week for work but glad to be home. Surprisingly decent workouts on the road but I was definitely dragging a bit this morning. Now to enjoy a well deserved day off with @giggler.bsky.social

Also just bumping up one of our faves in case folks have a few extra coins: tcpipeline.org

Good week lifting overall. At this lighter bodyweight my cardio work capacity has kinda gone nuts. I just did a hill program on the elliptical for 30 minutes with a 10lbs plate in each hand and still had lots in the tank (did another 20 minutes, but without the weights)

Despite some craziness with construction/remodel/city work to neighborhood streets— pretty gosh darn good trip around the Sun day. I now have a DS9 coffee mug from my amazing wife @giggler.bsky.social
