There was just an ice raid in my town today with several violent abductions and I am livid. My governor is not doing enough to fight this terrorism. @agwilliamtong.bsky.social

If you’re ever there during strawberry season… (chef kiss)

There are more normal veggie markets off the beaten path or down a neighborhood shopping row where that stuff isn’t so expensive.

Had a good art and friendship recharge yesterday going into the City for the first time in a year for NYCC related fun. Got some book treasures from Kino’s and this is a signed book of Cassandra Calin, who was super nice (been a longtime fan). Feeling good about our little comics community today :)

Liz was a customer at the Brooklyn frame shop I worked at an era ago. I liked her a lot and I like her even more now :)

I'm honored to earn the endorsement of Liz Holtzman, who served our city with distinction as a Congresswoman, District Attorney and Comptroller.

"Mr. Mamdani will bring tremendous energy and intelligence to the second toughest job in America along with a vision of making New York more affordable."

A perfect quote describing the shit grift that is AI

Robin Williams‘ daughter, Zelda Williams, is slamming fans who send her AI-generated videos of her late father: “Stop believing I wanna see it or that I’ll understand, I don’t and I won’t." bit.ly/4q0F9g7

Final Fantasy Tactics, you are what I wish the regular games were like. Having fun but it is definitely challenging for my simple, simple gaming brain.

Why thank you! It’s the biggest room in our house and we can finally enjoy it :D

Matt loux @mattloux.bsky.social · 15d

It’s been a little over a year since we bought our house but I’ve finally renovated the living room. I completely tore out the built in shelves and re did them with oak, painted, added better fitting furniture and was even able to put up some framed art. More to do but I’m pretty happy with it all.

The President of the United States just stood before an audience of his top military brass and asked for their loyalty as he deploys troops against American citizens.

That I don’t know, but I honestly don’t mind her voice though I understand your point. Sometimes the only-subbed versions can be sorta hard to watch and catch every bit of text that flys by all over the screen. I am a simple man…
