Cancel that Disney+ subscription y’all. These assholes will only respond to money loss.
I stand with Jimmy Kimmel.

In other words, I am the *opposite* of his cowardly employer.

Britain warning their people not to go to the US after seeing measles outbreaks, hostile immigration policies, threats to Canada’s sovereignty, and the Cybertruck:

I love Hamilton the musical. My wife introduced it to me when we started dating.

Well. Tonight I decided to play the musical on Disney+ while making and eating dinner.

At the end I was bawling. A musical about those who led and sacrificed so much to form an imperfect union.

Introduce myself with four games - note some recency bias. I played World of Warcraft and Diablo 2-3 a lot but they don’t mean as much to me now. I have spent more hours recently playing these than WoW or Diablo.

Laying off 3,600 employees is now considered an “achievement.”

This is the battle of our time. The rich think we are just line items on a budget sheet so they make more money for themselves.

Protest song. Not quite as topical but the lines “that’s why they’re calling me a communist, a socialist. Well ain’t that a bitch I’d rather be a commie than a fascist.”

His name is John Curtis, and as a senator for #utah he has done nothing but rubber stamp every Trump position appointment, and is fully backing Leon Musk’s attempts to destroy our government.

#utpolitics #utah #prideflags his name is Trevor Lee, and he’s okay with displaying nazi and confederate flags in classrooms (suggesting it’s okay to display those for lesson plans) but wants pride flags banned because they hurt his feelings.

Call him over and over again. 801-721-7896

This song was written in 2015, before Stupid Sauron rose to power.

But the lyrics certainly match up, either about Trump or Musk. Feel like now more than ever we need protest songs.

Consider this one of them. youtu.be/XbnMeS7Nrlg?...

Just showed the latest ‘HeGetsUs’ Super Bowl ad to Jesus and Johnny Cash and they’re both freaking PISSED.

God I hate the #hegetsus commercials so much. A billion dollar ad campaign to suggest Jesus gets us.

A minimum of 3.5 million people could be fed with a billion dollars for a year.

2000-20,000 houses could be made with a billion dollars depending on location.

Had a work thing all last week and talked to a bunch of people about my book.

Not expecting anyone to actually buy it, I actually got one person at least to go and purchase a copy.

I’ll take it. #writing #books

Dis one of my dogs. Ginsburg loves giving the classic dachshund stink eye.

I have played an ungodly amount of hours of Baldur’s Gate 3, and I still find surprises.

::SPOILERS::

I had no idea the cranial rats of the Gauntlet of Shar led to anything, AND THEN to have it end up being the Dark Justiciar Yurgir is hunting?

No idea. Poof. Mind blow again.

#novel #writing update. Another chapter or two plus an epilogue to finish this rough draft.

And then the real work begins to make this thing legible.

So I recently tried to play a #darkurge playthrough of #Baldursgate3. After recent events - I can’t play such a cruel character.

I’ve played a resist Durge before. I guess it’s time to do that again.

Also - this game is a form of therapy right now.

So I guess this might be the only reasonable social media platform these days? Cause holy shit, what a clusterfuck every other platform seems to be feasting on.

My feeling when the #steelers intend to keep Tomlin, even after some suggestions he’s lost the locker room:

A good representation of how the #Steelers season ended.

Re-watched some of #theexpanse series over the weekend. God damn is that peak sci-fi. So many good characters and storylines.

Having the novel wrtiters be heavily involved certainly helped keep the show strong in my opinion.
