After nearly 4 years of settling in to what I thought was a stable writing job, I learned not to get too comfortable.
I got laid off.
Welp, hopefully this mean I’m on to bigger and better things.
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

"Please get the truth out about our son."
Preach.
I started 2025 the heaviest I’ve ever been ay 210lbs. Getting back into bouldering got me down to around 170lbs within a few months, and I’ve stayed there ever since. Exercise be crazy.
Lawrence O'Donnell is the most straightforward reporter at any corporate news station, and I love him for that.
I didn't like Charlie Kirk. I didn't agree with his politics.
It's really gross seeing people joking about his death.
Moreover, it's hypocritical — and it's terrifying. At the end of the day, he was just debating people, the way democracy is meant to function.
This isn't it, folks.
There is no place for violence in our democracy — against anyone.
The August jobs numbers are atrocious, with unemployment rising to its highest level in nearly 4 years.
Trump is running the economy just like he ran his businesses — straight into the ground. https://youtu.be/zbh9SW5Cgqg?feature=shared

Someone should make an RPG based on Arthurian legend, but without a dark fantasy twist, where you play as a custom Knight of the Round Table embarking on a quest for the Holy Grail and ultimately picking between Arthur or Lancelot during the civil war.
This is just Joe Rogan
Joel Haver has more integrity in his pinky finger than most of Hollywood
Bruh can I volunteer to be deported
You’ll never convince me The 1975 are a bad band
Fantasy Life i has me firmly in its grasp and I can’t escape
Good bird
AI writing has ruined the em-dash for writers and it’s a fucking shame, man.
Hear me out: Buffy-Chan The Yokai Slayer
Snakes, trash, and old shrimp, easy.
The cruelty is the point.
(this is not a threat of violence)
My mother, who is on Medicaid, was just diagnosed with breast cancer.
House Republicans just voted in sweeping cuts to Medicaid.
If that woman is unable to get treatment, I will go absolutely ballistic.
I’m not a massive Hasan Piker fan, but him being held and questioned over his political views is still concerning.
I hate when artists book Brooklyn and Philadelphia, but skip Pittsburgh. Philly and NY are close enough you could easily make the drive for a night, but either way, us in Eastern PA are looking at a 5+ hour drive 😔
Can Trump supporters stop trying to pressure us into having kids now or
Trump just made it up to 98% more expensive to have a baby. Trump's baby tax is here.
4 games I’d give 10/10
