If I still had my blog, I'd have a lot to say about #blizzcon2026. It's always nice to see WoW friends IRL, and I'm excited for the new games (other than SC Helldivers). But Blizzard has to do better with organization for the con itself. A thread.

How in the fuck were they mocking these evangelical morons over 30 years ago on ER, but now they're running the country? I give up.

I just cannot with the faux outrage/resistance from privileged academics outside of the US as they attempt to be tough against the fascist regime in office. Who is the audience? Literally fuck off and find something else better to post about.

It surprises me NOT AT ALL that there is a cocaine ring made up of rich white frat guys at University Park. There isn't anything more Penn State than that.

I think about this much too frequently. One of my friends growing up had a gay uncle who died in the 90s. I assume he died from AIDS given how quickly he disappeared, but maybe I'm wrong. I wish I could thank him for making me as a child see I wasn't just a freak for feeling how I did then.

I stare out of our kitchen window every morning at a giant old oak tree in the park behind our house. The amount of wildlife it houses is amazing. I hope it outlives me because I will be crushed if I live to see it fall or cut down.

Never underestimate how trashy most Americans are.
This is about Hegseth’s testosterone program. Fox is a disgusting, toxic, revolving network that platforms the worst of humanity, peddles in lies, and pays people well to put it all on full display. But this seems to be what their viewers want, which says a lot about them as well.

So far this year we've had: the warmest winter on record in the mountain west, a record-shattering heat wave in Europe, once in a thousand year rainfall and flooding texas and forest fire smoke blanketing the mid west and the north east. Feels like something's going on with the climate!

I don't know why, but all of the Big Boy 4014 videos keep making me tear up. Maybe it's the symbolism of what was then a bright future that has become a rancid boil of a present. Maybe steam is as close as most of us ever get to magic. Maybe I'm just old.

Susan Collins will be reelected to be a senator until she's 9 million years old. Platner sucks if the SA charges are true. It doesn't change the fact that the US left is allergic to winning. The enshitification continues. Here comes the centrists telling us to campaign with shitty neocons again.

I would like us to consider if we can just end the era of the smashburger. It is objectively less good than a traditional burger that may be cooked to order and has flavor other than burnt grill bits. Thank you for your time and consideration. #burgers #burgersky #smashburgers
