I saw screenshots this morning of Trump threatening members of Congress with death for this video but I hadn't seen the video. So if, like me, you've been inadequately online this week, this is what Trump thinks is worthy of EXECUTION.
We want to speak directly to members of the Military and the Intelligence Community.

The American people need you to stand up for our laws and our Constitution.

Don’t give up the ship.

Born a door, and dad

Argh! Installed and played #Borderlands4 on my #Bazzite machine yesterday. Yeah, graphics and movement are horrible, but was playable and fun. Today I get this message about 'anti-tamper' 🤬

I have yet to meet Tomorrow.

I was told we were at

“Oh you just missed him”.

Can folks do me a favor?

I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January.

I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am.

I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics.

Here’s two favorite set photos.

Repost? I am in the wilderness.

Update to my #Bazzite journey. The Dell laptop worked well for what it was [5+ yo limited system], and that pushed me to assemble a #Steam Machine w an AMD RX 6600 XT GPU (ebay) and a Ryzen 5 5700X CPU. Still running Bazzite. Went from nice to amazingly incredible....

I've shared my love for the Marvel Multiverse Role Playing Game many times, and today is no different - except that they've dropped a free quickstart game guide and One Shot adventure featuring the THUNDERBOLTS*

Absolutely free.

One day Sam
on the lam, decided
things were changing.
All things now said
(not by Fred) would
spread without engaging.
The mission was clear,
all goals were near,
and Sam was warming up.
But in that time, the
the tools did change,
and Sam became a cup
that held, and
never tipped
and never
overflowed

I installed #Bazzite on a five year-old laptop, and have it sitting under the television so I can play #Steam games from the couch. What an awesome experience! It's so much like a console, but plays all my games. Currently enjoying #ForzaHorizon5, #Cyberpunk2077, and #NoMansSky on it. And more :)

Made camp near the
cliff, the view was terrible.
Moved tent to the edge.
(Why even do otherwise?)
This is good living!
The scenery sublime.
Toes curling over edge.
Stare, echoing through.
Roasting marshmallows
and telling (quick) ghost

Heavy heart, compressed
to the smallest volume,
galaxy center in my chest,
all atoms spiral inwards,
feels like a tipping point,
a singularity. Do I get an
event horizon, where a
forced-smile is frozen
in space time? Stupidnova,
exploding outward, no
appreciable crucible,
just a big cleanup job.

What holds me back?
It’s that invisible hand,
isn’t it?

Gnarled and brown
spots, and seemingly
massive, yet I enclose
it in mine.

Do you take that hand
in yours and promise
things, like better and
warmer and soon?

Do you dust for
fingerprints in
memories,
suspicious?
