So thrilled with how these came out. It was tough to pick favorites. I'm not walking next week, but y'all celebrate with me! Got my master's in communications with a 4.0 from @syracuseu.bsky.social.

OMG @lastweektonight.com You just showed the scene where I decided to stop watching Legends of Tomorrow. How dare you! LOLOL

But you should have shown the clip when he says "Make America Grodd Again."

I just finished #Peacemaker season 2 and I stand with my s1 verdict:

One of the funniest, sympathetic, vilest and batshit crazy shows out there!

Willi Morris @williesha.bsky.social · 9h

Disappointed there's no season 3 to tie up that massive loose end.

Definitely emotional and cried a few times. I love these characters and want to see them again soon. #Peacemaker

Very serious officials in positions of power in the DCU. 😭 What’d you all think of the #Peacemaker finale on HBO Max?

That conversation between Ads and her wife had me tearing up as soon as she walked into the room. I didn't even know what was going to happen JESUSSS #Peacemaker

The news is...overwhelming. Meanwhile @sc.edu's own A'ja expands her GOAT status.

Vritti Ghou-el @vritti.bsky.social · 1d

It is DEFINITELY not debatable anymore. From @alexaphilippou.bsky.social

'You run out of adjectives': Another year, another title for A'ja Wilson

Wilson has been called a lot of things this postseason: an elk, a shark, a lion. But is it time to call her the GOAT?

Have you tried listening to old music you like?

Hank Green @hankgreen.bsky.social · 2d

I heard someone on a podcast say that music is boring now and, look, I am saying this as kindly as I can…skill issue.

I love @theoatmeal.bsky.social !

Drawing about AI art. someone told me that art is like emotional nutrition. That made sense to me. Art feeds my feelings. And if that's the case consuming AI art is like eating Styrofoam. It's a farce. It wasn't made with all the pain and joy that goes into actual creation.

Y'know, when people have asked me about my dream game, I've always said a runaway slave + Underground Railroad project or something set in or around the Haitian Revolution.

Someone somewhere is already taking this on and infusing the work with all the courage that the subject matter deserves.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Scoop: Ubisoft cancelled a post-Civil War Assassin’s Creed last year

Company leadership deemed the project too controversial for the moment, sources tell Game File

If this is in the works, this makes me less angry. I'm incredibly disappointed.

Willi Morris @williesha.bsky.social · 3d

Yay! Learned something new from a documentary! Today it's details on Saudi Arabian and Chinese companies using up our land and water resources for their countries and Russia scooping up our farmers. Yayyyyy thanks "The Grab."

Red Dead Redemption 2 had Klansmen. I think it's just a copout.
