My first thought seeing the news today was "man I bet a lot of establishment ghouls are stoked that the US is back to business as usual" and it looks like yeah, they are

I can't get over how King of the Hill is mostly a great show but once or twice a season you get hit with "the role of a father is to stop their child from developing interests in things he doesn't like"

Yesterday my girl slept so terribly I thought we might need to leave Christmas at my parents so she could sleep in her own bed, but tonight she put herself back to sleep for the first time. Way to turn the corner, honey.

I'm considerably bummed that my birthday happens during this magfest for the first time in the 10+ years I've been going, and I will not be there. The stars finally align and then I have to go and have a kid!! Y'all will just have to party for me

Anyway. This is the gaming industry's consumer base's view on a technology that a bunch of people in the industry insist relentlessly is "here to stay" and we "have to accept"

What's up "awake at 6am because your baby has a stuffy nose so she needs a lap to sleep on" gang

I've gotta be honest, I'm failing to see how voting for someone praising Reagan's presidency even begins to serve progressive interests

I will NEVER vote for a politician who votes for anti-trans legislation. Never. I don't care who it is, it's a dead issue. Move on. If my vote is so important to the future of democracy they should have thought of that before they voted to exterminate my child.

Any attack targeted at people just because they are Jewish is as barbaric and evil as any attack on people just because they are Palestinian, or whatever other nationality. I will not accept any justification or relativization for this horrifying act of antisemitism in my mentions. Evil, period.

Tonight I'm helping get my daughter to bed, going through Advent of Code with my wife, and trying to figure out how to deal with the bleeding under my dog's eye, all of which I'd prefer over watching the game awards

skull

Destiny Renegades is nailing the vibe for me so far. The story all feels very Destiny but the world and level design have a different feel to them. Weirdly it's reminding me of Magic pre-UB, where they'd need to invent a world that makes sense inside Magic that hits the touchstones of the source.

Why do they call it an oven when you of in the cold food of out cold oh shit my oven's broken

Immediate baby jumpscare, now sleep??? please

This Raos parade float performance is art

When somebody just gives you a weird vibe and you can't really put your finger on why, you have some Je Ne Sais Qualms

Cutting through Canada on a road trip, it's my first time here. Got Tim Hortons. Tim Bits were a delight, their Boston Creme was decidedly below dunk's

I bought some shelves and storage boxes and I'm so excited to move a bunch of junk to my basement today

Geoff allegedly set up a program to get the marginalized for photo ops and then dumped them like a sack of bricks, refused to give free tickets for them TO GET THEIR AWARD, and then took sponsor money for the program, and pocketed it. No, I will not be watching his dogshit awards, even to clown on.

The holidays approach, and you know what that means: time for me to get mad at the idea that christmas trees are bad for the environment

Incredible that retro seems to have decided that the halo-like direction for prime 3 was something that they should double down on

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run. We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader. If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇

No more votes for controlled opposition

Watched the Voyager episode "Tuvix" today. I'm going to need to shove that one deep in the memory hole or I'm going to go insane. The last 5 minutes of that episode was a snuff film, god damn

Hmm neat idea but I fail to see how this protects the interests of capital

Democrats continue to show how incredibly cynical "vote blue no matter who" always was

A bunch of rich assholes threatened to leave Massachusetts when we added a millionaire tax and guess what. They didn't leave and it's raised billions of dollars for the commonwealth

insane series. insane postseason. baseball is so cool

Sorry to Canada, but man that was an incredible save from the Dodgers, extremely well played

Sacrifice bunt!! Small ball! Baseball is so good!!!

Time for game 9 baybee!!!

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

Sup! In a few hours, a game I had the honor and pleasure to work on is being released. It is 2025, and we are releasing a brand new Katamari Damacy. Please consider playing it! I feel the game industry needs more wholesome fun that Katamari brings to the table. store.steampowered.com/app/1880620/...

Unironically, gamers being upset about buildings not being fully modeled is one of the big problems for the games industry. The demand that worlds be fully "realistic", even if it's completely unimportant to the game, and that needlessly inflates budgets and timelines

When politicians make people prove they are poor enough to “deserve” help, it tells ordinary people that we aren’t interested in helping them. Even when we can qualify, who wants to? Actually-progressive policies help everyone. Billionaires get to use the library just like the rest of us.

What a bad survey question! If they had split this into "Did you think influencers were more positive or negative about this set?" and "Did influencers affect your perception of the set?" would give them clean data and wouldn't sound like sour grapes to boot

I really wish Ed Markey would find someone younger who shares his ideals to replace him, 80 years old is too old to start a 6 year term. I will, however, vote for him enthusiastically over the trans hating ghoul Seth Moulton

Listening to some old albums again, Arcade Fire's funeral is kind of perfect. 10 tracks with no duds. A lot of my favorite tracks are from their later stuff but as a whole album Funeral is hard to beat.

@friends-table.bsky.social Does your merch provider do baby clothes? I would like to buy a onesie with a flegg on it so I can put a flegg on my baby. If it helps, my partner agrees this is a good idea. Thanks.

"Magic has become a vehicle for someone else's nostalgia" is a devastating but accurate description.

fellas is it bad for regressive authoritarian regimes to have control of some of the largest entertainment companies in your country

Ed Markey has been a great senator but he should retire. He should also support a real progressive successor instead of this anti-trans bozo

I can't wait until these guys are forced to have a $100B equivalent of this conversation.

Into the Badlands is technically 3 seasons but season 1 is short and the back half of season 3 is eeeh

About 2 and a half weeks in and I've had my first Rough Night as a parent. Our newborn wouldn't sleep all night, then at 6 am she had a big ol throw up. At least she went to sleep after that!!

Honestly kind of rules to think there's a bunch of voters in New york compromising on free buses because their preferred candidate is more left than them. That literally never happens

Through the Omenpaths has completely blown past my expectations. I was pretty wary of it before it was released, but the art and flavor for the reskins reminded me why I love traditional MTG world building and art, even more so because it's replacing a set that's completely lost me
