Been meaning to do one of these for a while. Hello Bluesky, Grumpy J reporting. I got the nickname from coworkers who didn't know I had depression. Bigtime lefty, polyam, autistic. Reside in grape country, western Canada. I like lots of things, but my main love is board games!

I'm a disgraced, alcoholic, closeted bisexual half-vampire master swordsman (Empire of the Dawn, Jay Kristoff)
I’m a historian who unbeknownst to me has been sent back in time so much that my brain is basically dissolving. Alternatively, I am the magnificent woman knight he’s obsessed with, in kind of a genderqueer way (The Everlasting, Alix Harrow)

I don’t use social media to argue about politics with strangers.
I use social media to talk to people about fish.
When I talk about fish on Bluesky, people ask me questions about fish.
When I talk about fish on Twitter, people threaten to murder my family because we’re Jewish.

"Bluesky is an echo chamber."
"Bluesky doesn't have enough reach"
"Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right"
I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

One of my all-time favorite clips of Rob Reiner, from his Friars Club Roast in 2000, as he reads aloud Roger Ebert's infamous scathing review of his movie North. The man had an amazing sense of humor about himself. RIP.

He's also responsible for raising all the money that paid for bringing Hollingsworth v. Perry & even more importantly Bostic v. Schaefer, which created the circuit split that forced SCOTUS to take on Obergefell v. Hodges. The role he played in American marriage equality cannot be overstated.
The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

If you just banked that coffee money every week and denied yourself every other instance of life’s gastronomic pleasures, however small and ordinary, you could save enough to make the down payment on that starter house in [checks notes] five hundred and seventy three years
