For this #Caturday, we feature Moonshine. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Wednesday. She was never angry, and purred all the way to the very end. We miss her a lot. #CatsOfBluesky

Kahless tells us time is the one enemy no warrior can defeat. In the end, it is how you spent your that time matters most. Spend it being honorable, strong, and kind. Do this and time will not be your enemy, but your gift to those who will be glad to have known you.

As a software developer, I get asked from time to time if I do any home automation. "No," I reply instinctively, "smart devices are too easy to do wrong, and too expensive when done right." The questioner then usually proceeds into a diatribe of assorted "benefits" smart homes provide.

Initial estimate for No Kings Twin Cities at 100,000! So many Minnesotans SHOWED UP to protect our communities, our country and our democracy that the 1+ mile march route looped back and found thousands hadn’t even left the starting point! 👏❌👑

I mean, to Mike Johnson and the modern GOP, the values of the United States are totalitarianism, an all-powerful strongman leader, ignorance, bigotry, bullying, and sneering cruelty. I do hate those things, and I hate the people who embrace them, so I guess I hate their America.
Mike Johnson on No Kings: "We refer to it by its more accurate description -- the Hate America Rally. You're gonna bring together the Marxists, the socialists, the antifa advocates, the anarchists, and the pro-Hamas wing of the far left Democrat Party. That is the modern Democratic Party."

So... #Overwatch continues to rock my world every season. There is soooo much cool stuff coming up in Season 19 on Tuesday. Double mythic skins (and mythics for some of my favorite heroes), Ana rework and gadgets in Stadium, a new Halloween mode featuring team-ups - the bangers just keep hitting.

So, I betrayed my friends on Kairos and started Ghost of Yotei last night. It's as phenomenal as I expected. Beautiful game, similar mechanics, and I'm loving the story line. I'm going to deeply enjoy getting platinum on this one.

There is a gulf in America. I submit it is the gulf between good and evil, or at least not-evil and evil.
The gulf is not just between people who oppose this and people who are indifferent to it or reluctantly accept it in support of immigration policy or see it as collateral damage.

This raid is disgusting, abominable behavior, traumatizing children and families in their homes.

So, the big gaming news of the day is the US$55B EA acquisition by a private investment group, headlined by Jared Kushner and the Saudi Arabian sovereign wealth fund. There are some wild concerns about what this could mean for the content of the games, but I have another concern.

I promise I've been doing my fair share of gaming lately, but talking about it has been few and far between. So: A thread, on games. Leading off with... *bum ba da bum* Borderlands 4! It's an absolutely excellent game so far. It's awesome to see the ease of gameplay progression over time.

Since this person volunteered to be embarrassed, though I doubt someone this ignorant has any shame over their own stupidity whatsoever, let me explain to you why the firing of Jimmy Kimmel isn’t your standard “canceling” that the Republican’s are all crowing happily about.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.
