so i just learned about Hello Kitty Island Adventure, and… it’s basically Animal Crossing? but… with a lot more features? i’ve never really been a Hello Kitty girlie but this shit actually looks really good??
I checked in at Lone Star Burger Bar / Portland / OR
i truly don’t understand why Portland needed to go from “Burger Week” and to “every week is a different food week” but i guess it’s “Wiener Week” and i do love a good chili dog (RIP Sonic)
i was having a nightmare where each of my knees had a dislodged bone that was protruding out and i couldn’t rotate my legs inward without it being incredibly painful
woke up and it’s just that my knees were touching kinda hard
had a little pizza night tonight. just a little one. mushroom, half mushroom half pep, and eggplant parm.
It’s All About Manton
when i saw this post quoted earlier, i assumed someone else had written it. when i saw that Manton had written it himself, in the third person, i was flabbergasted. but that didn’t last long, because it’s just par for the course. he’ll keep making it all about himself.
I hope one day, if I get through this with my sanity and health, we look back and find it odd that in the first week of Trump’s 2nd term, looking for someone to blame, all eyes turned to… Manton. The guy who has been fighting Trump for 8 years. The guy who has volunteered on campaigns against Trump. The guy who when Trump first won, broke down in tears. The guy who dedicated his life to building a safe platform. That’s the guy who must pay the price now.

It’s hard not to notice, though, that there’s a distinct vibe of “no politics” there.
For years, one of the highlight shows of Anthrocon, a furry convention in Pittsburgh, was a comedy act put on by an aspiring professional comedian who was part of that community. He was good friends with the con’s chairman—a guy who’s a pretty good comedic storyteller in his own right, and who did his own show at the con. They often shared the stage together.
I checked in at Grana / Portland / OR
doing “research”
I checked in at Collector Bar / Portland / OR
my favorite kinda night out
“MEGA” —DHH
i never play the “fork” card lightly, but i strongly believe we need a community fork of Rails that divests itself from DHH. i’m tired of the influence that people like him and Tobi hold in the Ruby/Rails communities. at what point do we say enough is enough? how do we get Rails Core on board?
Trump is back at the helm of the United States, and the majority of Americans are optimistic about the prospect. Especially the young. In a poll by CBS News, it's the 18-29 demographic that's most excited, with a whopping two-thirds answering in the affirmative to being optimistic about the next four years under Trump. And I'm right th...
Adam Newbold on Accountability
This is only a small part of Adam’s post (and you should read the whole thing) but never let anybody try to redirect your criticism of fascist or hateful rhetoric to a private medium. Never ever. Fascism must be aired publicly. People must understand the consequences.
Donald Trump says TikTok "worthless," might not save it after all
those in-app pop-ups sure aged well!
Donald Trump says TikTok "worthless," might not save it after all
The president had previously said he was looking to save the social media platform.
sooo Musk tosses out a Nazi salute (to applause!) at Trump’s inauguration? we’re so beyond cooked
TikTok is coming back online in the US
lmao the obsessive praise for the guy who basically started the ban in the first place is wild. dems will never stop hand-delivering wins to the GOP
