Getting over a cold (yes, I had a flu shot a few weeks ago), and making a big pot of chili in the crockpot today. Oh, and doing my best to survive this f#&ked up timeline. (Seriously, where did the timeline branch, and can we time travel back to that point to fix it?)
Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.
ICE—otherwise known as Trump's secret militia—cxontinues to terrorize Chicago, and federal judges are not having it.

Warning sirens are loud right now. If you are comfortable with this escalation, you probably would've been one of the comfortable German citizens during Hitler's reign, too.
Make plans to attend the next #NoKings rally October 18th.

More than any other studio, I think, Ubisoft is really, *really* good at taking something fans love, then tearing it to bits. I don't know how their management is so tone deaf to gamers (i.e. past NFT hawking, combative attitude toward gamers, and WTF management decisions).
Honestly, Ubisoft burned me with "Assassin's Creed: Valhalla". (It was the first AC game I played.) I loved the main game, and the Wrath of the Druids DLC was fine. But the constant micro transactions (special gear, special skins) and wonky seasonal updates caused me to swear off Ubisoft.

Now I let it fall back
in the grasses.
I hear you. I know
this life is hard now.
I know your days are precious
on this earth.
But what are you trying
to be free of?
The living? The miraculous
task of it?
Love is for the ones who love the work.
Toward the end of the video, Pearce does make a plea for people to consider what relying on things like generative AI is doing to their cognitive processes.
Also, Pearce mentions the following poem at the end of the video:
@charalanahzard.bsky.social offers a take on the dangers of ChatGPT (and AI learning programs), albeit with tongue firmly planted in cheek.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.
“No, his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is”

If you see this, quote the energy you bring to Bluesky.
A definite double-standard when it comes to free speech/media.

Season 2 of "Hazbin Hotel" drops on Amazon Prime October 29th!
Looking forward to this, as the first season was a pleasant (and very adult) surprise.

Yesterday was Star Trek Day, and I apparently missed the announcement that LEGO is doing its first official set featuring The Next Generation.
This makes my geeky heart so happy! 🥰

"Here be dragons."
On the one hand, very cool creatures (and problematic because of their stings). On the other hand - *gestures wildly* - global warming.

Trump looks horrible during today's press conference from the White House meeting with South Korea President Lee Jae Myung.
The orange makeup is spackled on so thick today, he reminds me of the Oompa Loompas from "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory". 🫢
Horrible use of social media (Kick) that allowed violence/abuse to escalate unchecked.
This is some dystopian shit. Reading the article, it made me think of Season 7 Episode 1 - "Common People" - of the TV show "Black Mirror".

Love this piece. #Andor
"cankles McTacoTits" is my new favorite description of #Trump. 🤣
Seriously, I would had to be a fact checker during Trump's White House session today...one can't even keep up with all the lies and false statements coming out of the man's mouth.
I feel so bad for President Zelenskyy having to suffer through this insane press conference.
Trump is rambling to the press during his meeting with Ukranian President Zelenskyy like a senile old grandpa receiving visitors at the nursing home. Seriously, WTF...he's talking about everything not related to the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine. 🤮 #WTF #Trump #Ukraine
On the bright side…tourism will hold out until the bitter end.
“Say, whatever happened to those two crazy lovebirds, anyway???”
Keep up the good work! 👍
