I’ve seen some folk calling Highguard “Concord 2.0” and I just wanna say that if you’re one of those people… I hope you shit yourselves.

I hope you shit yourselves in front of your family. I hope the children laugh and you live out the rest of your days being called “Petey von Shit-britches.”

People overseas will be like "America this your problem & it's impacting us all so get your shit together!" and Elon Musk will be South African and Rupert Murdoch will be Australian and Peter Thiel will be German and the President will be an obvious Russian Asset funded by Israel & Saudi Arabia.

January 12, 2026 marks nineteen years since my first *paid* piece of video game writing was published, starting me down a long, winding, often stressful but (nearly) always fulfilling road.

I’ve been doing this for more than half of my life.

This… may explain why I’m so tired. 😅

It is a testament to Fortnite’s staying power that Epic Games is still swimming in scratch considering Tim’s singular obsession with fighting Apple and Google has otherwise ran his company into the fucking ground.

I was waiting for journalistic confirmation before sharing any materials on social, so here you go. This comes from the Star Tribune, not some online randos using genAI.

I won’t share the videos being shared of what happened in Minneapolis but it goes without saying that ICE is a state-sponsored terrorist organization.

I do find myself, more often than I frankly care to admit, thinking about how leaving Canada was one of the bigger mistakes I’ve made in my adult life.
It’s cute when non-Americans think we can just leave the country and move somewhere else to escape all this, as if their governments haven’t also made their immigration processes just as cruel and slow.

Three days into my “no more social media” detox and I’m woken up by an alert on my phone saying that the United States has

Alt: Michael Scott rubbing the bridge of his nose, likely because not even he can see the logic behind the United States kidnapping another country’s head of state in the middle of the night without Congressional oversight.

Real "oh my god, she admit it" moment here. Trump is treated as an uninteresting figure without agency so we can dump endless criticism on liberals for how they react to his "natural disaster." He "doesn't participate in moral frameworks" lmfao

This is somehow my fault.
Liverpool is 4th in the BPL table, after a disastrous start of the season and only a 4 goal difference!

And Arsenal may not have a star striker but they have the 2nd bet GD, 4 goals below Man City

Josh Noem once opined that he collects images of walk-off home runs because he believes that’s how we’re greeted when we reach the gates of Heaven.

I think about that a lot.

The AI "competitor" just jumped a bunch of votes. Of course. They're going to try to bot out the last leg of the vote.

We have one day left to put them in the ground.
We were in first place in this film award voting.

A film made purely with AI just netted over 150 votes in 12 hours.

Now it's personal.

Please. Help us kick this THING's ass fair and square. ART FOR ARTISTS.
