Come sit down with people here in Philly, or come to Bucks where we got rid of Fitzpatrick. See how many times you can print the word "dickhead" in an article.

In deep-red Texas, conservatives are trying to make sense of what just happened to their longtime Republican stronghold. We visited a men’s bible study as they gathered for the first time since the state flipped in the midterm election.

Oh My God

Keeping my "watching something I never saw but had been meaning to get around to" habit going by watching Ghost Ship. This intro is already giving me a feeling that some mess is about to go down for these people dancing to the nice music.

I need people to Stop using ai for any graphics and pick up the art of photo-bashing, collages and digital scrap booking IMMEDIATELY

Can't watch the new Resident Evil (because WHO just has $20-$25 that's not going to groceries, gas, other bills, etc.), but I WILL finally watch "It Follows". @mostestghostess.bsky.social, have you seen it?

This kind of explaining what the government does at the minute level is something Dems need to be doing year round

WEATHER BALLOONS ARE BACK BABY!

Who, in the freshest of all hells, needed the anime for Takopi's Original Sin to be made!?! I forget how many chapters of the manga I got through, but it was NOT a lot.

"Now is not the time for-" i'm gonna stop you right there, it's the time for EVERYTHING

If anyone has a spare Ocarina of Time cartridge or wants to help my kid get her hands on her own copy, my links are pinned in my profile. (Don't even know who has a copy in stock, but I'm gon check...sigh.)

I've worked my ass off for a good long while. It's still tight, but I was able to get it together enough to get a new-to-me car. Kid is going to all the afterschool clubs (we still do virtual school) and I don't have to pay as many delivery fees for things because I can actually get there.

Can we do something about it being 74º in PA in freaking November? Is that a thing we can fix?

I just remembered that they don't have a damn press secretary to put a spin on this or try to give any kind of message on what's going on in the administration regarding the midterm results.

I think NOW I'll be able to watch Sunday's Last Week Tonight episode. I saw that it was about the midterms; I just couldn't do it until I knew how this was gon shake out. (I ABSOLUTELY watched Have I Got News For You, though, bc I needed to laugh and they had David Alan Grier & Sam Jay on there!)

Welp, tonight's the night I watch Gothika for the first time. I admit that I did not see Charles Dutton being Halle's boo in the beginning. Now I'm at a bridge and there's a woman and there's rain and that spells trouble to meeeeeee.

I'll go for: white-mean General Tso's with veg fried rice (the peas, carrots, baby corn kind not the water chestnuts everywhere kind) an egg or shrimp roll. OR Shrimp chow Mei fun with an egg or shrimp roll. Either way, I'm including a can of ginger ale.

If you like Chinese food, what’s your go-to order? 🎤

I've gone back and forth between Discounty, Cities: Skylines, and Citizen Sleeper because I cannot handle anything heavier right now. I'm in a whole "just one more day" phase right now, but I *might* try GTA V again before VI comes in a few weeks.

Glad I moved to Fastmail. Damn.

New: Proton, the company behind ProtonMail, emailed staff to say it will be 're-interviewing' workers about how they use AI. The implication is, if you're not using AI, or won't learn, you may lose your job. “These re-interviews are consequential.” www.404media.co/proton-to-re...

I started out trimming my locs, but ended up cutting at least 4" (if not more in some parts) and it feels so good to not have them be as heavy as before. I can fit them into the bonnet without wrestling AND I was able to wrap them in a towel without folding them in on themselves first.

I just saw the news about Eric Bauza on Threads and have been looking other places to check if it was legit. 46. No words.

This Turner color mixing card set (more like paper strips) is one of the best art purchases I made. Almost lost it in the move; so glad to have it as a reminder that most color tubes can be mixed.

I woke up and decided that today is the day I watch The Purge for the first time. I'm aware of the premise, but never saw it in its entirety.

There are two kinds of posters on Bluesky, people who have to check their bank account before going to the supermarket to buy food for the week and people who post charts to tell you it's all in your head

A lot of other hashtags were affected. I wanted to see projects made using Golden fluid acrylics, but couldn't see anything (still can't).

New twist: I get this error message when I try to click on the #NoKings hashtag on Instagram. Is Instagram suppressing the hashtag too?

Whenever I need to go out run errands, it reminds me just how much I am an indoor cat. I get home, grab a blanket, and settle into the couch all cozy.

I'm cycling back around from playing cozy video games to needing a spray-and-pray game after work. I might try MG Delta again or figure out where I need to go to do the other part of Cyberpunk.

Aaron Swartz, coding prodigy and hacktivist who helped develop RSS and was a co-founder of Reddit, died by suicide after facing $1 million in fines and 35 years in prison for felony charges, just for downloading pdfs of research papers with the intention of making them accessible to the public.

Being GenX/Millennial is such a trip. In our lifetimes, we saw people our age getting wild criminal penalties for pirating music and now have to sit and watch as companies gobble up our work with impunity.

How long did it take you to figure out which medium was the one for you? I've accepted that I don't do enough with heavy body or soft body acrylics to keep them so destashing it is. I think acrylic markers/pens are what I need to use with my pencils and neocolor IIs.
