I met a lot of great people through WoW, and it was a way for Frito and I to do things together when we lived on opposite coasts. But any always-online 'grindset' game (even Pokemon Go) causes me problems.

I met a lot of great people through WoW, and it was a way for Frito and I to do things together when we lived on opposite coasts. But any always-online 'grindset' game (even Pokemon Go) causes me problems.
There are still days where I miss WoW even though I know I'm better off not playing it.
Sir, if I wanted to give you five dollars I'd just Venmo it to you, not make sucker bets on the internet.
The kind of person who will never ever not even on their dying day have enough.
If you enjoy… Weekends Safe working conditions Retirement benefits Paid vacations Breaks at work Sick leave Paid holidays … then you’re part of the labor movement. Happy Labor Day.
Do you change the minds of pretenders?
Here Comes The Dung
I still have a fondness in my heart for Skyguard Khatie.

Live your life such that everyone doesn’t spend ten solid years planning the rager they’re going to throw when you die.
When I send you VoicePlay Layne
I’ll bring cupcakes if you save me some grilled meats.
Could we get an extra hour in it? 🤪
The best part of marriage is having your own personal bespoke memes with each other.
I'm not LGBTQ as in the Supreme Court gave me rights, I'm queer as in trans women of color throwing bricks at cops gave me rights.
The main people who got us here cannot get us out. That's what everyone is seeing in real time.
You'd have to pay ME 900k to be there, goddamn.
They're on to you! Quick, deploy the tiny cakes!
It only now occurs to me why I enjoy the one DM I tend to gravitate toward at the place where Frito and I play - "puns are not only encouraged, they will be -graded-".
I have done nothing but drive around today, feels like, so sign me up as well.
I feel like you need this shirt for pen events 🤣
when i say that i'm an abolitionist, i am talking primarily about state violence including policing and incarceration; but i'm also very down for getting rid of grammar police and horny jail
Happy birthday! 🎂
I mean, I still think this is funny because it's true:
So the sandwich guy ... beat the wrap
The hardest thing I ever did was the dish room at Owen’s on a football weekend.
Sounded better in French - "l'etat c'est moi"
You shoot Claire like the pistol target? JAIL FOR MOTHER. ;-)
All regulations are written in blood, as they say.
This was everything I've been wanting from a Brennan vengeance narrative.
Hijinks! (and how about dear weird friends?)
When is the fundraiser my dude (Quick ground beef and rice skillet for karate night)
(seriously, the only two things Newsom is doing right are the redistricting battle and making folks in the administration big mad, I can be on board with those while also noting that his stances on most things are absolutely dogshit)
Tim Walz : trans rights are human rights JB Pritzker : we’re taking names of all you fuckers and coming after you Gavin Newsom : lol my pr firm made another meme while i guest starred on another right wing podcast
butts lol Volunteers for Ass
Word. Mondays (derogatory).
But John, didn't you know that nuance is dead on these here internets? :P
Also dude, I think from looking at the district map my aunt may be just inside the district lines, so best believe I'll be nudging her to vote for you.
Jezi and Techno for Chris’ Nerd Shit Fundraisers Committee
I would road trip up from San Diego for a piece of that action.
Fundraiser concept: we all come over to your place for some of that carne asada you’re always torturing us with pictures of. 🤪
Monday Mood
Happy this meme is 20 years old which means it’s 9 years older than the child who knows the song

The 21st night of September?
Last week someone made this point, a lot of money people (including tech) made a very clear, very calculated decision that authoritarianism, even a corrupt kleptocracy, was better for them financially than risking Dems doing a wealth tax/tax fairness etc. It was an eyes-wide-open choice.
rise and shine!!!
5 Other governors and elected folks need to get off their asses so Newsome ain't the only one. 6. Gavin Newsome REALLY sucks. 7. Just because Newsome does something productive doesn't mean I have to like every goddang thing he does, I can still celebrate the positive 8. Nuance is dead, obvs.
Peel back, don’t unwrap
So Bluesky is blocked in Mississippi due to the state's child "protection" laws. People are making "good riddance" jokes, but I want to remind them that Mississippi is the state with the highest Black population by percentage. It's only run by hateful assholes because of voter suppression.
oh the danger tummy on display
you can trace so much evil christian shit back to this man and his ratfuck legacy this is a day of celebration for every kid who got sent to pray the gay away camp, every kid who was forced to carry a child to term or had to get a dodgy secret abortion, school shooting survivors, the list goes ON
The best thing to have is enough.
Something about good tanks - warrior chat in our raid was commonly called the Worgchef Comedy Hour. (this is the tank who had /y I CAME TO GET DOWN macro'd to his spacebar for jumping)
my dream is to eat barbecue and sling dice with you, sir.
Missing a lot of people from particular periods and hoping they are thriving is such a mood. I still think about the MT from when @fritokal.bsky.social and I were raiding in vanilla sometimes, he was a laugh riot.
Well, they were certainly less rowdy than the basketball team, I'd imagine.
oh damn I got stuck in a hotel once with a Shen Yun troupe when a flight got snowed out.
Today's cursed mad Libs of improbable assholes are these racist developers joining the crusade to undo the civil rights act. A classically trained _____ who has _____ his own_____. A former _____ ______ but not ______ for attempted _______ in ________.
“a classically trained French horn player who has live-streamed his own sex videos, and a former jazz pianist arrested but not charged for attempted murder in Ecuador” is a hell of a combination of words.
Breadsticks in the purse, obvs.
Getting 'grown up Happy Meals' with collectibles is like, very me targeted. They did one for the Minecraft movie.
The Fry Friends, which were honestly my faves back in the day.
I'm definitely the target audience, and I got one out of curiosity. Do I know it's nostalgia bait now that I'm a target for 'spend money' stuff? Yeah. Did it work? Also yeah.
Yeah man. I do think poorly of you if you still use Twitter. Its a sign of poor character, don't know what else to say about that
Nostalgia is a toxic impulse but also I miss the time when tech trends were things like "let's put everything in a translucent colored plastic case" instead of "let's add software to everything that lies and also accelerates climate change"
Magister's Terrace AGAIN? lololol
I require all of the lore.
The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.
Submitting my tuition reimbursement for the full amount of summer and fall because I noticed a clause that even though it's normally max $5250 per year, it can be up to 15k with exec approval. Peggy Carter be with me.
First day of sixth grade - so he finally let us take down the fifth grade graduate sign
We are bored in the target while Typechip uses a gift card
We’re still bored and he’s still making decisons and @technophobia.bsky.social is a theatre kid
My cousin-in-law who lives near us is kind of a bit Mom Instagram. To be fair, my sister can be sometimes, but honestly way less, and I have more insight into her struggles.
The Feast of Sir Leeroy was back in May, dude.
Good job Gizmo and/or Widget!
If you want to believe it, check it twice ::clap clap:: If you want to believe it, check it twice ::clap clap:: Doesn’t matter if it’s awful Doesn’t matter if it’s nice If it confirms your bias, check it twice! ::clap clap::
Today is the 20th birthday of "they're taking the Hobbits to Isengard" and if I have to know that so do you
aw yeah movement
It really reads like her husband signed it for her, given how similar it looks with all the up and down lines.
"But I object STRENUOUSLY. Oh, well that's different!"
PARTY TIME
The color orange. (TOO SOON)
Experimental philosophy
Actually I had one even before that, which predates the creation of the a cappella group that is the basis of my techno screen name. OG is a character from a nobody-ever-heard-of 1990 romantic comedy. ;-)
my one unshakable 'things used to be better' belief is that the internet was infinitely better when it was a billion weirdos with fansites instead of web 3.0
Uphill BOTH WAYS through the Plaguelands. And fucking Dire Maul.
the gif search has no idea what to do with my original screen name. Enshittification or niche reference, who knows
Gail Schrodinger
That sounds an awful lot like what a guy running an 11th episode ARG would say, Mr. Sam.
To a fragile man like that, making him think for even a second about how an existence he thinks is "not political" might actually be so = shoving it down his throat
Bar so low and yet so many folks be limboing in the Ninth Circle.
