How does he have 200k followers and we're only seeing this now?

Hell yeah. One less thing to be pissed at him about.

I did not know about this! I hope it manages to really capture the scene with the lights. I <gasped> when I saw that live.

We've suddenly got a drop in temps in Phoenix, with highs in the 80s! and 70s!! this week after still hitting 3 digits last week.

I'm sure it'll go back up just in time for Halloween again, but boy am i enjoying this respite.

This would actually track: He wants to be a king, but what's better than a king? A god king.

Are there any famous god kings obsessed with gold and building giant buildings using labor that never got paid?

Any of them tormented by unexpected frogs and diseases?

Hmm, when's the next eclipse?

Late night thought because it's still in my ear: There's a part in the Sirens' song in Hades 2 that can segue directly into Down the Witches' Road, and it's been doing so in my head for almost a full week now.

I'm sure there's already fanfic somewhere...

You've heard of "I have no mouth, and I must scream." Now get ready for the unauthorized sequel: "I have not slept enough, yet I must pee."

Holy shit someone uploaded the entire stage play adaptation of the Yakuza videogame series with English subtitles and it’s glorious and 500x better than the Amazon show youtu.be/Z2Msr4si6dU?...

I have to say, it's almost unsettling at this point to see him in anything besides a suit.

This morning I ran the NYC Gaza 5K in Prospect Park for the third time, alongside the Harlem Run Club, to raise money for @unrwausa.bsky.social, which delivers critical humanitarian aid and services to Palestinians in Gaza.

I hope you'll join me in donating: unrwausa.org

Hmm, my initial thought in response was "Unexpected ECF notification," but honestly, I don't know that any notification can ever be truly expected.

This is Zitz greenwashing of the worst kind. The only reason he wouldn't have been on the plane is because he was too busy committing war crimes elsewhere.

And we don't talk about Pimple.

Also, the dinosaurs from Bubble Bobble and both Bad Dudes - Yes. The Contra guys are the pilots.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.
