God damnit we already did 2017

"Tonight's top story: A entire generation of American children have unexpectedly experienced their sexual awakening, regardless of their gender or orientation"

i hope more than anything what people learn from this 2nd trump term is that the capitalist class are aligned and they want you to have less rights and only want you to exist to generate profit for them

They’ve only been in office for a little more than a month.

"[T]he goal of all this was to make digital media a 'utility' like gas or electricity—a faucet that dispenses the world’s art as 'content,' with tech companies in complete control of what goes in the tank and what comes out of it."

Trying to find that sweet spot between expanding pantry storage and shoving a shelf in every spare space I can find.

I love Chikorita, but the grass type should’ve been Grookey.

Honestly a little disappointed that Pokémon Legends: Z-A looks like a direct sequel to X and Y and not a PL:A-esque trip to the past to explore the extremely fucked up lore of the Kalos region. But whatever. If they keep the research stuff from Arceus, I’m good.

can’t believe everyone’s health and wellbeing is going to be destroyed by a guy whose voice sounds like garbled playback from a broken cassette player

Along with the various other anxiety-inducing things happening at seemingly all times, my first official return-to-office day is tomorrow. I am not stoked about this. My kids say the whole thing is pretty "Ohio" and I'm inclined to agree, mostly because I haven't the courage to ask what that means.

As part of El's ongoing project, she needed to cover Gaiman. By the time she reached him, we see him in a different light. This is long, detailed, and shines its own light on the writer and the work. If you like criticism and can bear to read on the topic, this feels both essential and definitive.

Finally made it over to the El Morelia Super Mercado and that place kicks ass. Fresh tortillas and tacos, fantastic bakery, breathtaking meat selection, reasonably-priced produce, and just better vibes all around.

If these kids think we’re not going to ground them just because American society could collapse at any moment, they are sorely mistaken.

I have never, not once, ever been made to feel bad about being a man by “culture.” Mostly, it’s been other men who have tried to tell me I’m doing it wrong, and these men have almost always been miserable, lonely people hiding inside the shell of a cartoon masculinity performance.

This man should never be able to buy a coffee that isn’t at least partially flavored by a throat oyster for the rest of his stupid life.

What time is it?

Man, when I am able to feel anything other than overwhelming anxiety tinged with anger, I bet it's gonna feel incredible.

extremely important PSA

Who would have thought this kid would go on to invent being Sad and Horny at the same time

every inch of progress in the US is like this. BLM, defund the police, trans rights, etc — all marginal, sometimes nonexistent gains followed by massive rightward pendulum swings born of the (false) assertion that by gently prodding an issue, we’ve gone “too far”

I left my phone at the Fox this weekend and just got it back, so now I’m checking this app and considering tossing my phone off a bridge to be free forever.

Planet’s dyin’, Cloud.

These little serotonin bursts have been doing an awful lot of work lately.

i wrote something about This Place for @404media.co. please read it, and then log off. 💗

Just leave them dinosaurs alone, man! The first movie is pretty clear about this! Just leave ‘em be, damn.

This interview is genuinely great. Chris Bratt is one of the smartest folks in game journalism and People Makes Games is very worth supporting.

I will never not be mad that more people didn’t play Tharsis. Really well designed and wonderfully brutal.

oh hell yes gonna buy up all this shit before the price skyrockets and make a mint on the black market

Disappointed to see the Dems still clown-shoesing it up but not at all surprised.

Tried to turn off the world for a bit by hitting the MOBOT Orchid Show.

Also dipped back into Arceus for a few days and yeah, it just feels amazing to play. I like the biomes much better than ScarVio’s fully open world, the combo of action and turn-based play is great, and the research is super fun to complete! I’d be more than happy if the mainline games were just this

There is no better evidence as to the enormous love I have for my youngest son than me sitting in St. Charles every Saturday morning so he can do a Sport.

Yeah Gary, it was definitely nothing you and your Executive Director did. Those lawsuits and disparagement campaign just popped up out of thin fucking air.

As online spaces get worse, I’m starting to get curious as to what’s going on in live performance again. With the RFT gone and the Post and KDHX being useless, how does someone in STL figure out what’s going on as far as readings, storytelling, and theater?

RNGesus decided I deserved a great big W this afternoon. #blessed
