Saw the #Peacemaker finale. It’s ok. Definitely more of an epilogue than a finale to a season. Overall I had fun with this season. It was really good. Really hope Peacemaker returns in Man of Tomorrow.

@fdsignifier.bsky.social hey sincere question: did you ever finish metaphor rephantazio?

I love the new #Superman movie. It’s like he knows how lucky he is. Last of his kind with awesome parents and powers beyond imagination. And he feels the responsibility to pay it forward.

No matter how small the threat of communism is it is elevated and made the core ultimate and pressing threat. Any proposition to make capital subservient to the people is communist. Any proposal to make society more equal is communist. This should tell you how scared of it they are.

Probably not, best case scenario is they’re assholes locked in their own perspective.

I played a lot of Red dead online and Knockout city.

I caught up with #Invincible. I love it. I read the comics after the last season, and I’m excited to see how they adapt the rest. It’s like if a Saturday morning cartoon grew up.

Saw the latest #Severance episode. I’d almost be happier if the next episode was the last of the series. But I’m down till the shark jumps over the greaser.

Living the life

#severance is going places this season. Really eager to see where this season ends.

Gaming is so fucked; work on the one big live service success in 3 years and you still get whacked

Cartoon of a man in the back seat of a taxi that is driven by a bear. The man is saying "Mall, please" with mall spelled m a l l. The caption reads "It was a simple misunderstanding, but one with harsh consequences."

Fair.

Trump doesn't care if the economy crashes and communities suffer. His goal is to force you and your family to accept a lower standard of living while he and his friends get richer. Cutting support for law enforcement, schools, small businesses and firefighters is chaos by design.

Extremely long tweet by Colombian president Gutavo Petro, auto-translated from Spanish. Continued in next post. Trump, I don't really like traveling to the US, it's a bit boring, but I confess that there are some worthy things, I like going to the black neighborhoods of Washington, there I saw an entire fight in the US capital between blacks and Latinos with barricades, which seemed like bullshit to me, because they should unite. I confess that I like Walt Whitman and Paul Simon and Noam Chomsky and Miller. I confess that Sacco and Vanzetti, who have my blood, in the history of the US, are memorable and I follow them. They were murdered by labor leaders with the electric chair, the fascists who are inside the US as well as inside my country. I don't like your oil, Trump, you are going to end the human species because of greed. Maybe one day, over a shot of whiskey, which I accept, despite my gastritis, we can talk frankly about this, but it's difficult because you consider me an inferior race and I am not, nor is any Colombian. So if you know someone who is stubborn, that's me, period. You can, with your economic strength and your arrogance, try to carry out a coup d'état as they did with Allende. But I will die in my law, 1 resisted torture and I resist you. I do not want slavers next to Colombia, we already had many and we freed ourselves. What I want next to Colombia are lovers of freedom. If you cannot accompany me, I will go elsewhere. Colombia is the heart of the world and you did not understand it, this is the land of the yellow butterflies, of the beauty of Remedios, but also of the colonels Aureliano Buendía, of whom I am one, perhaps the last. You will kill me, but I will survive in my town which is before yours, in the Americas. We are peoples of the winds, the mountains, the Caribbean Sea and of freedom. You do not like our freedom, okay. I do not shake hands with white slavers. I shake the

This goes hard

Screenshot of a poem: THE RIDER A boy told me if he roller-skated fast enough his loneliness couldn't catch up to him, the best reason I ever heard for trying to be a champion. What I wonder tonight pedaling hard down King William Street is if it translates to bicycles. A victory! To leave your loneliness panting behind you on some street corner while you float free into a cloud of sudden azaleas, pink petals that have never felt loneliness, no matter how slowly they fell.

“The Rider,” by Naomi Shihab Nye, from her book Fuel.

I think Marvel should have an #Avengers tv show to set up their next movie. It can be like infinity war with all the avengers apart for the show, each episode focusing on one avenger. Then you bring em together for the movie.

I'm always encouraging people to photograph black cats against colorful backgrounds but sometimes black backgrounds and low light create cool photos too. Especially if the cat has some white on them. This is Onie in low light (table lamp) looking at a moth on the ceiling.

My loves, if you find today or any day difficult for you, I find there can be comfort in Tolkien’s words.
While some times may be terrifying, infuriating, or devastating, it is never hopeless.

Binged #castlevania over the weekend. Still really good. Nocturne season 2 is a season full of payoffs for the first. And I can’t help but love a strong theme of “finding hope in dark times.” Especially this week.

This is a propaganda masterpiece. Tens of millions of people who know nothing about politics will see this & when TiKTok is back Trump will take full credit (& a huge kickback) & no one will care the ban was his idea in the first place. An idea an idiot cadre of elderly Dems went along with. 🤡 💩

If you loved that book about The Gods Are Among Us And They're Mostly (Especially Odin) Kind of Assholes, but you're feeling some kind of way about it now that the author has been revealed to be an asshole, I have good news: that is a REALLY COMMON THEME.

A 🧵

It’s a good story and a decent game.

Josh Brolin is a an exceptional podcast guest. I’ve heard him on wtf and armchair expert for his book promo and both times he has been real af.

Quick #review of #CreatureCommandos: loved the show, very bitter sweet ending. It succeeds at making me want to see more of the Bride. James Gunn might pull this off new DCCU.

Just finished the Amazon show #SecretLevel. Has some Ws and Ls. The one with Schwarzenegger voice acting was good and was the outer worlds episode. It hit me hard. Nothing like the depiction of a bleak dystopian capitalist future to make a grown man cry.

Me too, the satire in outer worlds always felt… too thin. This definitely echoes that.

Just finished this episode. It was a beautifully tragic episode. Thank you for your part in it.
