Pork stew is S-tier!

One part about Carney's "owners of Canada" comment that I don't see getting talked about is that by phrasing it that way, Carney made it clear that the decision isn't even up to him, and if Trump even wants to think that "buying Canada" is possible, he would have to appeal to the Canadian people.

Honestly, I think Carney walked the tightrope well, between standing up to Trump but not aggravating him. I guess I have to admit that as much as I wanted Carney to be a bit more hardass, this was definitely the better approach.

In case anybody wants to know what my profile pic is from. Beyond honoured that the character's visual design was based on my likeness. <3

Kimchi omelettes are delicious!

I could listen to this version on loop forever.

I could also say the same for the original, but this is also fantastic!

Blew out my calf while running for the bus. Need ultrasound to determine if torn muscle or torn tendon or both. For now, in a cast and crutches. Dammit, just as I was getting in some pretty good shape, too

Honestly, the invitation is open to any of the Blue States. All the ones I've been to are quite lovely.

So please, Carney, do good things and get them done. Your time is precious and you have a lot to prove, so please prove as much as you can.

Carney has a disadvantage in that Polly has spent years slowly rallying behind him while Justin sat on his hands. Polly benefits more from not being Justin than anything of his own merits. But Carney does get some time to show what he can do when he has the power to do so. (Con't)

But you look so much younger than I do... lol

Most music today doesn't appeal to my tastes. When it does, it's very reminiscent of the 90s or 80s. I admit it's a me thing, though. I just got left behind.

Many of us defended Disney when people criticized them of "woke agenda" and "pandering". Well, fair is fair, I admit I was wrong. Disney proved that they had no conviction behind their message, and they were pandering then, as they are pandering now. I guess Disney will always seek out fair weather.

For the record, I think it's perfectly fine for Disney to have an "openly Christian" character. What rubs the wrong way is that they did so at the expense of a trans storyline. They could have co-existed. Or they have a billion IPs they could have put the character in. This was a message. (con't)

I’m trying to rebuild some significant part of my 50k+ I had on that other… horrible platform. Please see fit to champion my early existence in this new blue ocean such that I might abandon the place of vile hatred! :)

My recurring dream where I completely forgot I was enrolled in a class until the final exams when I realize I have to figure out where I need to go and what I need to do to at least get a passing grade... I feel like Justin Trudeau did that in actual real life and as prime minister.

Just arrived to a screening of Reservoir Dogs. I can now finally say that I've seen all the Tarantino movies in the theatre. RD is the only one I didn't see in its first run. I'm also not counting True Romance because Tarantino didn't direct it, but I do hope to cross that off my list someday too.

I blame the groundhog

Cover art for Ma Vie en Rogue by Ultima and Origin Systems artist Denis Loubet. A woman in an elegant golden dress, tattered and muddy along the hem from her travails, descends a dungeon stairway escaping one peril only to encounter another: A wizard opening a portal to a strange future world. Her intrepid feline companion, based on the calico cat named Amber, trots by her side, on the lookout for even more dangers. The woman is carrying a sword and a lantern, with a bag slung over her shoulder out of which fly pages of a journal. The wizard’s own familiar, a shadowy black cat, peers out from the darkness with glowing eyes. Bats scatter overhead as the scene unfolds amidst broken-down architecture in the gloomy, dusty cavern.

As you may know, my wife is making a roguelike game! Legendary Ultima artist Denis Loubet has done the cover art and so we are closing the Kickstarter to late pledges next week. Last chance to be assured loot like a metal ankh, SIGNED Loubet print and cloth map!

Groundhog screaming in sheer terror

Groundhog pops up in Feb 2025, looks around, and is all like

First impressions:

The Substance is freaking phenomenal!

Isn't it crazy how these people think that having an option is oppressive, but enforcing something as forbidden is "freedom"?

OpenAIs response to DeepSeek is probably the most succinct, pure example of the modern techno-fascist mindset. Pearl-clutching about someone allegedly “stealing” a thing that you openly admit you scraped/stole from the entirety of human existence without asking, cause… I mean, obviously. Right?

Ok fine let's pretend for one moment maybe it was a Roman salute. Was he comparing the new government to Rome? Let's see... *checks notes*

I needed a new place to post pics, muse out loud, and scream into the void.

So.
