Day 17 at Children’s Hospital of Richmond and I finally feel like I can let this corner of the internet know: my 3 year old son Conor has been diagnosed with leukemia. He’s fighting like hell but it’s been a bumpy road that we can’t see the end of yet. I love him more than anything in the world.

@gameonysus.bsky.social @leovader.com @haleyfax.bsky.social Can I ask a super specific Avowed question? Is it particularly text heavy? I’m currently limited to playing on Steam Deck and debating a purchase but text is tough for me on portables. What do you think?

Finally talked my 3 y/o into a new game that’s not Astro Bot (we’ve platinumed it three times). Hello, old friends!

Want to see advertisers lose MILLIONS this Sunday? A record-setting low for viewers during the Super Bowl would do that. Money talks and bullshit walks.

At this point, basically every headline I read is basically, “Fox News Dad Gets His Way, Proving He Was Right All Along.”

Welcoming my beautiful and intelligent wife @mersersa.bsky.social to Bluesky!

Is there a song more beautiful, that also contains the c-word, than Frightened Rabbit’s “Poke?” I’d wager no

Impressed that Diddy Kong has been able to dodge controversy despite his first name and insistence on continuing to wear a red baseball cap.

It’s all “get good/skill issue” until bitches have to play Super Mario Sunshine and they fold like the chair at a backyard barbecue.

One bright spot in an otherwise hellscape of a week

Six decades ago President Johnson used participation in Medicare as leverage to desegregate hospitals. Today President Trump issued an order to use Medicare participation as leverage to get health care providers to stop providing gender-affirming care to youth.

Happy to report that Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth runs SIGNIFICANTLY better on PC. I may even finish it this time, @yozetty.bsky.social

20 years ago today, Bright Eyes revealed two desperately different outlooks on the world around them with the dual release of I'm Wide Awake, It’s Morning and Digital Ash in a Digital Urn → cons.lv/bNu76N

LFG

Huge loss. No living members of The Band remain. Feels like losing the last veteran of a war.

If Blood on the Tracks was any less painful, it would be dishonest. If it was any less hopeful, it would be pointless. Bob Dylan's most painful and brutally honest album was released on this day 50 years ago → cons.lv/WwItMg
