Definitely not the norm anymore
Yes.
Ty for supporting me 😂
Wow maybe it’s common to order a lemonade with no lemonade lol
Ugh I am sorry.
Yes, I think so? Or maybe they have a strawberry/acai fluid? I’m not sure. It was just pretty wierd sounding, like why are you ordering something if you don’t even like it
I really just watched an older white lady at starbucks order “a strawberry acai lemonade, made with water not lemonade and no strawberries”. This is why I tip baristas.
ICE forcing firefighters to stop battling a wildfire and make them all show their papers, then arresting some active firefighters and pulling them off the line shows there's no bottom. As @aselrod.bsky.social pointedly argues, it's nothing less than an "active assault on virtue wherever it exists."
Cheese + Taxidermy
Absolutely no-one: Wisconsin: C H E E S E
They’re making THIS book into a film? Wow. That will be gnarly.
Weird that these mass shootings get narratively framed as random violence caused by an imprecise miasma of social pathology and not as independent contributions to a specific and highly organized political program.
If you wouldn’t sit still for a whole race being blamed for one person committing a crime, you better pipe the fuck up when they use this shooting to demonize an entire community of people who are already under attack.
I seriously just saw some wack-job online say it’s ‘time for all school children to have a conversation about cremation/burial with their parents’. NO. NO IT IS NOT. IT IS TIME FOR ADULTS TO KEEP CHILDREN SAFE. NO CHILD SHOULD NEED TO CONSIDER THEIR OWN DEATH LOGISTICS.
a school shooting anywhere is a tragedy and horrific but when it’s your own community it stabs a little deeper. I’m heartbroken, I feel seething rage, everything in between.
“I gave my life to Christ in the Cracker Barrel parking lot” sounds like the filthiest euphemism I have ever heard.
Yeah, some people get bent out of shape over it on principle. Thankfully not many?
It’s me I am the mom that lets my kid climb up the slide at playgrounds if it isn’t busy and I’m not sorry. If it’s busy that’s different but y’all can’t deny how fun it is to climb up a slide when you’re 5.
Just reg’d for Cream City Convergence what up Milwaukee who else is going??
It’s been one full year of my hair being blue! I like it, not feeling a need for a change so that’s cool 💙
Post-Evo chiropractor visit my guy let me know my left side was “off by almost a half inch” bro I knooooow 😭 ugh. I’m getting too old and decrepit
My tenth Evo, in the books. Lead my biggest photo team to date. Watched the Invincible VS trailer I helped create debut on the Evo main stage. Captured MenaRD taking his long-sought Evo win. gallery.rmpaul.com/Esports/Evo-...
The arcade at Evo this year was super sick. Really big, tons of cool games and variety, and right in the middle of the floor where everyone passed through so you could just enjoy the vibe even if you weren't playing Full gallery: gallery.rmpaul.com/Esports/Evo-... 📸 @tempusrob.com

Thank you. #Evo2025
Join us next year in Las Vegas for #Evo2026, taking place from June 26-28.
Evo General Manager Rick Thiher took the stage at #Evo2025 to announce timing for some of our upcoming international events. Evo France: October 10-12, 2025 Evo Japan: May 1-3, 2026 Evo Singapore: Early 2027
Managed to get all the way to today with no blisters, no joint subluxations, no injuries, only to come in this morning and rip my finger open on something at the Command Center fml lol.
Or without people like Margot and Maddy on hand!
I just want to say: startgg is back up & good now. Despite some struggles earlier we obviously appreciate the platform & could not do this whole thing without them. Every year (at several majors!) the community stretches that website beyond the limit & @startgg.bsky.social always rises to the task!
it is 2008. the economy is in a recession. john choi and BAS are playing in evo cvs2 grand finals it is 2025. the economy is in a recession. john choi and BAS are playing in evo cvs2 grand finals
Lmao
After doing the top 8 walkouts i told fiery it took me 20 years to make it onto the Evo stage and he shrugged and said "it looked like it only took you 10 seconds" I'm gonna murder this child
This is btw why I will die on the hill of paper brackets forever and you will never change my mind lol.
Yes, startgg is down. No, that will not affect tournament operations. We will continue to run offline via paper bracket and are prepared to manually progress until the end. All #Evo2025 competitors should still arrive to their next pools as originally scheduled. Thanks!
Evo 2025 doors are open, day 1 is here. It’s always surreal getting here to this moment every year: All the planning, google docs, calls, miles walked. Have fun, stay hydrated, see us at the Command Center if you need anything 🖤
I will let her know. She didn’t know the answer to the riddle either when I asked. 😂
My 5 year old has recently learned about riddles. She just delivered this riddle she thought up herself: “What’s in the pond? Where is the pond? Also there is a snake. The snake is in the tree. “ Me: “yes?” 5YO: “that’s the riddle mom.” I am stumped.
Good to know! My daughter is just that age! Thank you 🖤
My kiddo has discovered Mario games. Currently running around the sand level of Mario Odyssey on my switch happy as a clam. Can’t beat the level and I am so bad at platformers I don’t have much hope either but whatever.
SDCC ‘25: What to do if ICE crashes the con If you see ICE or Border Patrol agents while attending San Diego Comic-Con, know your rights and exercise them.
What in the actual fuck.
Idk I guess he’s done some other really wack shit too? I had no idea. I never pay attention to him…
Today he was saying some foul stuff belittling the Epstein Files situation I guess
“Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you're the one filming it.”
Apparently Stephen King sucks. Damn.
My friends & I were just talking about this today. We're all still in various stages of grief about it, but yeah, we lost the fight to stop climate change. That said, climate change isn't just on or off, it's a spectrum of bad to worse etc, & we still need to fight to keep it from being worse
Some cosmetic brand just tried to hock their wares to me because you can be “low maintenance” and live “on the go” and apply their make-up on a flight. Why on this earth or above it would I want to apply foundation during a flight? That’s unhinged behavior ma’am.
Listening to Sleep Token in the car, the song ended. My 5YO blurted out “that song was really good. It’s like maybe he’s in a band or something.” Yes, maybe he is in a band or something 😂
If you want to compete at Evo this year, your time is running out! Late Registration closes in 12 hours. Head to evo.gg to pick up your tickets!
She was extremely accurate and described to me about mammals and explained turtles come out of eggs which is why they tragically lack belly buttons.
My 5YO just spent 35 minutes straight rattling off every random living creature she could think of and telling me whether or not they had a belly button. We were trapped in a car. I want to go to bed now. It’s 4pm.
I loved that book! Her other works are also amazing: Song of Achilles and Galatea (which is a short story).
Sagittarius: You'll never outlive your mistakes. Make them count.
Aries: It may seem like things are hopeless, because they are.
Genuine question: do you think the phenomenon of weaponized incompetence by men in heterosexual relationships in regards to housework and parenting might be related to that? Your take is fascinating, either way, anecdotally.
I’ve read 80 books this year. 📖 Recommend your favorite non-fiction book. Any topic. I read mostly fiction and I should probably read more non-fiction. I’m not big on memoirs or biographies but maybe I just haven’t read good ones.
“Did you know my dream is to have a pet squirrel?” - my five year old, gazing ponderously out the window at a squirrel in the yard. 😱
If you have father figures in your life that mean something to you don’t forget to reach out to them today. There will come a day when you can’t.
happy father's day to the dads of the world and all the positive male role models out there we need men who are able to be compassionate, show emotion, and teach empathy now more than ever
The air conditioning in this venue is what they like to describe as hoodie-selling-weather hoo boy I’m about to cave and get yet another gaming hoodie for real.
Listen, today has been real weird and not without unpleasantness but so far I'm walking away with a lot more hope than I arrived here with The Army has not fallen

No Kings Protest Minnesota…. TACO wishes his was this big… 🤭 #Minnesota #Protest #NoKings #LosAngeles
Law enforcement officers unload tear gas on crowds in Los Angeles, in addition to large amounts of flash-bangs. NBC News’ David Noriega reports from the ground.
This is a reference to the iconic, Pulitzer-winning image of a Vietnam War protester. He later moved to SF, renamed himself Hibiscus and formed a drag troupe called the Cockettes. Happy Pride!
I’m trying to focus on the community I’m with right now but i’d be lying if I didn’t admit my mind is consumed with worry about my community back home in Minnesota.
“No Kings” demonstration, Ocean Beach, San Francisco
This is a dope ass idea and we should start doing it at every major IMO! Shout out to Walooiji for setting this up at #CEO2025 SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL 🖤
Surprise!
You know what is more wack than TSA pre-check expiring? They don’t even like send you an email about it. They let you find out at the airport lol.
“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”
I think I was expecting about a dozen things that weren’t CoD lol
I’m sorry… that was a CoD trailer? I was expecting some sort of dope cyberpunk game with a whole world and a giant plot.
Someone out there was really like what if a sentient lighthouse could walk, and honestly I am here for it. #xboxshowcase
This is definitely one of the most random early morning thoughts and I admit that but I think the biggest food thing I fixate on being so different and better in Japan vs America is how fresh and crisp the mung beans are.
SINNERS IS SO GOOD UGH that is all.
Idk who need to hear this (everyone) but Sinners is now available to watch at home on streaming services 👀
Capricorn: Remain calm in the face of the horrors. It won’t improve anything but the demons who stalk you will be impressed.
Happy Pride Month 2025 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ Be gay do crow stuff #pridemonth #pridecrows

A Decade of Dedication #CB2025 📸 @tempusrob.com
Hard work pays off. 10 years of passion and community support helped make this year's COMBO BREAKER the largest fighting game event the Midwest has ever seen. Thank you for celebrating with us. #CB2025
COMBO BREAKER is nothing without the FGC. Thank you for showing up, for 10 years, to go on this grand adventure with us. CB is so much more than us, because it’s actually all of you: everyone who has ever played in our brackets, ran a pool, helped out, or sat in our crowds. #cb2025 #combobreaker
Normally as a TO I am kinda grumpy about Grand Final resets but this one is hype. #killerinstinct #cb2025
A reminder for #COMBOBREAKER attendees that we do have a Lost & Found at the Command Center! If you lost something, check in with us and if you find something that is where to bring it! Thank you! #CB2025
There might have been the least trash in the convention center this morning of hardly any overnight venue we have hosted. It was a really pleasant surprise. Good job FGC. #CB2025

I’ve been so annoyed trying to reset or sync by apple watch to my new phone part of me wants to just buy a new watch. This is how they get you.
Trying to build a garden box, get it filled with dirt, then get some baby plants in there today before it rains later.
I have a handheld thing but it doesn’t fit over the talenti lid lol RIP
