There has never been a time when humans can be as angry at as many different things than right now and it’s breaking our brains.

I am a man of my word. Y'all came through in a big way with the $5 donations and I promised a match, and a match you shall get.

If anyone else would like to match my match that would be super neato, but at the very least let's keep those early $5 donations coming! Onward to $10,000!

Been on a bit of Bob Dylan kick recently and I think when I grow up I wanna be a once in a generation genre defining folk singer-songwriter.

So I just gotta learn how to sing... and write songs... and probably play guitar? Should I also pick up a harmonica as well?

We hit our 100th $5 donation last night so I’ll be making the $500 matching donation as promised in the next day or two. If anyone else would like to join me in my matching donation I wouldn’t say no 😛 desertbus.org

And thanks to everyone who’s donated so far! We’re already over $5000!!! 🥳
And to spice it up just a little bit, I will match the first 100 donations of $5USD exactly that are made before the start of the run. Obviously it’ll be great if we get more, but I figure that’s likely what my goof would have cost me 😃.

So head over to desertbus.org and get those $5 donations in!

Happy Halo 2 day y’all! On this day 21 years ago one of the all time GOATs was released. And a few years later we made this video.

At this point I think the reality we crafted in this video might be better than our current one? 😬

Nothing like waking up at 3:30AM to take a friend to the airport and then thinking a good idea is to go to the office to get a bunch of crap moved around for Desert Bus prep.

On the upside I was first in line at the coffee shop and got what I assume is the best blueberry muffin they made today.

I mean... he's not wrong :P
I personally think it would be very funny if the year that James wasn't able to put together a James Challenges Chat Challenge was the year we set a record for pre-run @desertbus.org donations.

You should make that happen, Chat.
It’s time for James Challenges @desertbus.org Chat. But I’m gonna be honest with y’all and lay it all out. Obviously this year has been rough on everyone, myself included. It’s been a struggle to find the energy for this years run. I know I’ll muster the juice needed for the show, but I’m tired.

I will never be able to understand people who don’t place a bare minimum amount respect and care towards any random human life. Like, no one fucking asked to be here! Why are we making it harder for so many people?

I know this is just part of life, I’m not looking for advise. Just a bummer, y’know?

Kinda weird to check the news and it be… good? I think that’s the word I’m looking for? Not sure, it’s been a while.

Great step forward America. Please keep it going!

The news is wild. I can either read about the fall of democracy around the world, or how giving local fauna contraceptives is helping control the deer population.

Humans are fucking weird.

Whelp, was really hoping to leverage that Commissioner's Trophy and make a 1 for 1 trade for the Stanley Cup. Now I guess we’ll just have to win it fair and square.

Hahahhahahahah. Siiiiiiiiigh.

Media trained athletes are boring. Stop interviewing them.

Ok y’all. We’re two weeks from @desertbus.org and one week from donations opening and I’ve got nothing for this years “James Challenges Chat”.

I’m open to any and all suggestions. But please keep them in the realm of reality :)

Arc Raiders is fun and good.

Magic is not a perfect game, Wizards is not a perfect company, but I truly believe this game we all love continues to be as good as it is through all that in large part because of Mark and the other incredibly passionate people in the building.

Also, look how cute he is in his squirrel outfit?!
Congratulations Mark Rosewater! Today is Mark's 30th anniversary stewarding & shaping Magic. Truly a remarkable legacy.

From leading set designs to tirelessly answering fan questions to your weekly articles to signing cards at any event you attend, thank you!

Can we please move past this concept of ads on Twitch styled after streamers? It's bad. It's really bad.

Does the MLB not understand the concept of days off and building tension? They're playing Game 5 (you could argue game 6 :P) today? Good lord.

Had a pretty cool dream last night that @bengineeringtv.bsky.social secretly kept the lease at Moonbase Mk. V going and turned it into a Pokemon themed escape room. Honestly, seems like a pretty dope idea TBH.

I know it won't help, but I'm thinking about creating some alt accounts on YouTube, Reddit, Bluesky and setting aside 3-4 hours a day where I just YELL AT PEOPLE FOR BEING FUCKING STUPID.

But I know that won't help...

Right?

Sick over the weekend (my birthday weekend to boot), felt almost 100% yesterday, then last night the cough came roaring back and today it’s constant. Super fun.

Also, being sick when your wife’s office is in your bedroom sucks. Stupid housing crisis. Stupid broken capitalism. (ノ•_•)ノ︵┻━┻
