The real story here is that Netflix greenlit a third season of a television show.

Witcher

Not a board game, but am entire PS4 controller and charging dock just up and disappeared.

Today my son found some old dried up pieces of paper and declared them maps and that we would follow them. I asked him where, and he said "California." California, it turns out, is the vacant building down on the corner.

I mean... if there's one thing America has made abundantly clear it's that kids' lives are an acceptable loss in exchange for profit.

There are people finished with Elden Ring already? This does not compute.

In most video games, you learn not to fuck with bears. It's a bit of a meme at this point. Elden Ring ups the ante. I've killed three demigods, six or seven dragons, and countless unfathomable horrors. But bears? Those things still scare me.

Even now, I feel a bit like I'm doing the, "Cis white dudes are the real victims here" thing, and that's not my intent. So I'll just say that a lot of my social interactions are characterized by some combination of anxiety, guilt, and feeling like an outsider and leave it there.

I'm silencing myself because I don't want to seem like I'm doing the "not all men" thing, while simultaneously being aware of how low the bar can be for me, and not wanting to take advantage.

When I'm around women I don't know well, I'm constantly examining my own behavior to see if I'm doing anything that could be construed as predatory.

It's isolating because it distances me from most male groups and most female groups. It's hard for me to relate to men, because bringing up any of this shit tends to get met with, at best, eye rolls. With women, you're hyper aware of that social armor and the reason for it.

This hit me hard. It's super isolating being a man, and gets worse the more aware you become of the reasons. Rejecting toxic masculinity is a constant, conscious struggle, a process of unlearning things you thought were fundamental truths.

Things I have grown to dislike intensely: *unexpected phone calls *group texts *last-minute invitations *the fact that most video game platforms tell people what you're doing and when *the fact that most messaging apps tell people when you've looked at a message

"Anxiety? Have you tried yoga?" "No, I can't do dairy." "No, yoga. Not yogurt." "Whats the difference?" "Well... yoga is a combination of exercise and breath control..." "Then what's yogurt?" "It's a... dairy-based snack?" "Hold on, you lost me. Start over." *leaves*

My favorite thing about #TheBatman is this sentiment.

This is a bunch of horseshit. You can't get opioid toxicity simply by handling fentanyl; it has to enter the bloodstream. This is just a justification for future violence.

Here lies Brian. He is a good guy.

Your last saved selfie is you on the outside, your last saved meme is you on the inside. Had to really hunt for both of these.

Man, my typos have gotten bat.

This museum looks rad, but the only thing I could think while watching the video is that this would never happen in America because this country as given up on the future in favor of am endless, eternal fixation on the past. https://t.co/S5QfAaVHq5
