Hey everyone,

I am not 100% sure how much I’ll be using Bluesky. To be honest, I’ve had social media burnout all year and have done my best to try and make some distance as it’s not been the healthiest thing to use (esp lately). That said, hi, you’re awesome, keep being awesome, appreciate ya 🙏❤️

Never did I have Tom Morello collabing with Final Fantasy XIV on my bingo card but hell yeah 🔥🤘
Light it up, let's go! 🔥

A new song by award-winning guitarist Tom Morello, featuring Beartooth, is making its way onto the Arcadion stage in #FFXIV!

Here's a message from Tom and a preview of the upcoming track, Everything Burns!

Not to beat a dead horse, but I don't have rent money for December, a way to get holiday presents for my kids, money for medications, or groceries. If you're hiring or know someone, please pass my name along.
Pardon the interruption, but it's time again:

I am looking for work. Steady income preferred.

I have a grad degree, a long CV, and I'm quick to learn. I don't have a specific field I'm interested in, I just need work, urgently and desperately.

What is it like playing #TTRPG with you as a GM, Nate?

Expect Final Fantasy influences as they’ve been a major source of inspo for awhile.

The LA city council just voted on a major change to sharply lower annual rent increases in rent stabilized units — 660k apartments — to between 1% and 4% depending on inflation. Story to come

I'm single. No kids, no claims, no pre-existing conditions. The cataclysmic leap from paying $50 a month to $1,228.28 a month is a level of devastation the depth of which I'm struggling to articulate. I wasn't going to be able to afford when I thought it was going up to $350 a month. And now...😵
I thought my new health insurance premium was going to be $350 per month until I got this letter informing me that it would be $1,228.28 PER MONTH. I CURRENTLY PAY $50. Is my math mathing? Is that.... a 2,356.42% increase?

2256.42%????

TWO THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED FIFTY SIX POINT FORTY TWO PERCENT😩

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.
The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:

Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)
King (2030)

When people hear that I'm returning to part time work they often ask "are things not going well with your art?"

The problem really is things are going well, but the world is so unstable that I long for some consistency and income that I don't have to pay quarterly taxes on

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.
“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡
Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

When you see Perfect Blue is playing on the big screen you buy a ticket and go immediately. Much needed movie outing on my day off.

Yoga/stretching everyday is a literal lifesaver. You’re back and body will thank you for this later down the line.
Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

When I was a kid, bedtime was 9 pm.
I couldn't wait to be a grownup so I could go to bed anytime I wanted.

Turns out that is 9 pm.
