What have I been up to this morning? Oh you know absolutely neglecting to work and instead making sure my circle from the other place can be replicated here! Soooo if you like Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, The Wheel of Time, UGA, or Atlanta United how about a follow? I want to be friends!

The attack on Charlie Kirk is disgusting, vile, and reprehensible.

In the United States of America, we must reject political violence in EVERY form.

I'm horrified by the shooting of Charlie Kirk at a college event in Utah.

Political violence has no place in our country.

So I just looked up the English lyrics to the Paintress boss fight in #ClairObscurExpedition33 and holy crap it was a spoiler this whole time and now I'm crying at work. This game man, this fucking game.

I hate getting last minute cosplay ideas right before #Dragoncon, the crunch is real!

Max McDonald @maxmcdonald.bsky.social · Aug 6

Just finished #ClairObscur and I am now a broken man crying massive tears. I don't know if I've had feelings like this for a video game in my entire life. What an absolutely beautiful piece of art that I'm so glad I got to experience.

A picture of Max at the starting line of the Peachtree Road Race. He has a Grey atlanta united kit on, a black backpack on his back, black sunglass, and a Grey hat. He is making a subtle smile and making s thumbs up with his left hand.

I just want to make it clear to all that if you helped vote this current administration into power I have zero respect for you and you can remove yourself from my life.

Republicans pulled an all-nighter to:

-strip healthcare away from 17 million Americans
-take food assistance away from 3 million Americans
-eliminate school meal access for 18+ million kids
-send energy costs soaring
-add $3.3 trillion to national debt
-raise health care premiums for seniors

Matt Freese is my keeper. The boys in the field may have not done the best job today but our boy between the posts just had an absolutely amazing day.
