krisis (also, see @CrushingComics!)

really needed this today, on several levels

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

Did Winston Peters hear someone complaining about fireworks keeping them awake and think that means fireworks are woke and therefore must be banned?

Oh I totally lost it at the end of X2. No movie will ever get me crazy like that again.

to be fair, took me a while to wrap my head around sausage sizzles 😂

ugh. I don't know how you coped. You know from past discussions I am challenged by the mental game of not working out to begin with, let alone when it's an injury of my own making.

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue.

The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point.

They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

When I am waiting at school pickup IN MY CAR and a group of them walk by on the sidewalk I have to roll up all of the windows.

That is WILD.

Really hard to mentally deal with the injury coming from doing your best at the thing you thought was good for you.

(Also, I'm already coming off of more or less that same injury, and after months of physio now have an exciting different one.)

Hilary Rivers was detained by ICE for three months and lost everything - her health, her home, and her possessions.

Now she has been granted asylum, but she faces an uphill climb to rebuild.

Read and donate, if you can.

Thoroughly demoralized this morning as the extent of my soreness & injury from yesterday is becoming clearer.

Not sure I could do the triathlon even if I still wanted to.

Not sure about guitar playing, in general.

Feels like doing anything positive for myself gets rewarded with misery in the end.

I moderately injured myself with an unforced error while biking today.

Unfortunately, it's an injury that interferes with guitar playing, so that's the end of serious triathlon training for the foreseeable future.

I'm bummed and annoyed with myself, but you've gotta know what your priorities are.

Oops, signed out of my main Google Account, now I need to spend the next two days signing back into everything with 2FA.

I still re-watch Flight of Dragons at least once a year.

I've owned it on Beta tape, VHS, DVD, and Blu-Ray. Plus, the book!

sky blue, green, and gold poster for FLIGHT OF DRAGONS. Features a dragon, an armored knight on an armored horse, a tiny fella standing on the trunk of a tree holding a sword, a lady in a Robin Hood-ish costume with a bow, and a big wolf whose body looks more like that of a lion

Drew up a poster for what was probably my favorite movie at age 6: the Rankin-Bass/Topcraft animated feature FLIGHT OF DRAGONS

I didn't download bootleg live performances by The Get Up Kids on limewire in 2001 only to have some 25 year old in a rave outfit call fucking Green Day Emo.

In a peculiar mood where I have tons of executive function to get long-lingering things on my to-do list done, but I also hate EVERYTHING that is not exactly to my perfectionist specifications so if any tool isn't behaving perfectly I want to launch that long-lingering project into the sun.

Love any comment that makes me feel younger 😂

"chaising" 😂

Vs. Republicans in Louisiana:

As I've said many times, the most sensible way to determine what the party wants & prioritizes is by looking at what it does when it has power to act, namely, when it has a trifecta at the state level. Take Minnesota:

Truly may be the best pair of songs of her entire career

I love all of the current crop a lot (Fallon aside), but there's something magical about Seth to me that improbably makes him my favorite.

As someone who started as a Blogger DOT com blogger 25 years ago, I have now spent most of my life watching amazing Social Networks arrive to massive fanfare, utterly misunderstand their userbase, fail spectacularly at early monetization, and crash out when investors demand exponential growth.

BSky, unable to monetize and unwilling to listen to user feedback, decides a combination of negativity, encouraging brigading, and algorithms are probably the answer... to... something?

At this point I am trying new kinds of ice cream just to get new and different colors of 2L plastic bins to use to organize all of the drawers in my housr.

This is all because in 2020 a session fell on T-Give weekend and they (JOKINGLY) told me they expected some kind of Turkey-related content.

I was like "Oh, you want me to pander? Because I'll pander."

Thus the on-the-nose holiday one-shots were born. And now I am a tyrant who cannot be stopped! 😂

In my tradition of DMing holiday one-shots for my party that are totally on-the-nose, tonight's Halloween adventure had vampires, zombies, ghosts, witches, & kids cosplaying as the party.

Past holidays have included a sleigh-riding Frost Giant, a field of wild turkeys, & chasing a white hare(ndon).

Just a note to say that @rebeccamatthews.bsky.social didn’t get a chair role. Ray did.
