I'll have to check out phanpy then. I use a native app on my linux machine at home, called Tuba.

I've been using elk.zone for quite a while now, and it's pretty nice as well.

My children both have some tastes that I deem questionable (ugh Imagine Dragons), but my 12-year-old son's three favorite bands are Green Day, Bad Religion and ALL/Descendents. I was all in on grunge and thrash metal at his age, so I can't complain.

I was 24. haha I'm generally not a fan of remakes and feel they aren't necessary, but this one hit just right.

We had a bunch of other friends on there as well. I don't remember anyone else's usernames, except our friend Justin went by niceguy.
@pghsciencenerd.bsky.social Do you remember any of the others?

North Versailles and Dubois.

Funny enough, the main things I remember about it were Mike's wrestling themed IRC scripts, the dude named Debaser that hung out at the Hardee's, and talking to Juddy on there long before we met in person.

I honestly don't remember. I don't think though. I mainly stuck to the main rooms of HHS and LCSYS.

New story day! My 6th story with @lightspeedmagazine.com, "At the Bottom of the Bonfire," is about ambition with no limits, hunger with no satisfaction, and what you lose as you gain power. Thanks as always to @johnjosephadams.com & @wnwagner.bsky.social!

By the time he went to reclaim himself, it was too late. As a young man, he’d realized there was a power to being alone. Relationships were tethers that held you back, sapped you of strength, of will....

Even before that, we chatted all the time on IRC, and met in meatspace in like 1996.

Regardless of MTG making some good points lately, remember who she is and what she has done. She will always be white trash, and believe me, I know white trash.

im fiscally conservative but socially liberal. that means i think its good that there is rampant despair but i think people should legally be allowed to do drugs, gamble out of desperation, and kill themselves about it

Stephen Miller is five years younger than me, but looks at least ten years older than me. Hate and evil really does age you.
