When Chekhov saw the long winter, he saw a winter bleak and dark and bereft of hope. Yet we know that winter is just another step in the cycle of life.

Oh our Minneapolis, I hear your voice
Singing through the bloody mist
We’ll take our stand for this land
And the stranger in our midst

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

With how much I need to (carefully, painfully) get up in the middle of the night and stand next to bed, it feels like a really crappy Paranormal Activity sequel. #cancer

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

No more trying to spend the last scraps of money on an old MetroCard before it expired. End of an era.
It's the final day of MetroCard sales—so as we say farewell to an icon, let's take a look at how it all started.

Thank you, MetroCard, for moving New York to the very last swipe.

Getting to see a live action Novac was awesome. Looking forward to seeing more of New Vegas in future episodes.

Ice-T's experience with the best #Fallout still cracks me up fifteen years later.

Late entry for best vulnerability name of the year, and I don't see it being beat. Banger job to whoever named this one, I actually guffawed

This is where @oggie.bsky.social and @kingfox.bsky.social gather in a dark corner of a virtual bar and reminisce about the time a guy unplugged the wrong thing to plug in a vacuum cleaner.
every time I see people whining about the internet and single points of failure and “remember when” I laugh and LAUGH. folks. did you know that at one point sufficient rain in northern Virginia could take half the internet down? the infrastructure is way more robust and resilient than it used to be.

I know it was the music service and not the tech, but starting an MRI with playing Hotel California in my ears while I was trapped was hilarious.

For the first time, and definitely not the last time, my daughter has beaten a Pokémon game before me. With her under leveled party chosen primarily for cuteness and all. Very proud. #PokemonZA

The last time I visited Lumiose City a dozen years ago, the first thing that came to mind was Paris syndrome. This time around it's the Paris Olympics Assassin's Creed parkour. #Pokémon

At this point I've played #Hades2 more than twice as much as the original. Highly recommended. Death to Chronos!

The big takeaway from this video is to get some kids, so you can have local players you can hopefully line up schedules with. #dungeonsanddragons
