@shadesogrey.bsky.social how many times have I told you to not use your powers for evil? ;-)

Basically applies to anyone who is tired of he GOP. This also stands for PRIMARIES. If you don't like the shit sandwich option, then show up and vote for someone you prefer.

If men are upset at the analogy, maybe more men should hold their more volatile counterparts to account.

Sounds like WoW Forever is going to be a toxic cesspit. Asmongold is useless. I always thought he was.

@thelever.bsky.social Suffolk County, NY is where you can see the fight withing the Democratic Party playing out in real time. We could use some more exposure - so other local communities can find solidarity.

The Forever loading screen makes me sad. The original just had a winding road going into the distance. The new one has dead trees and Horde buildings. The first is neutral, it can be for anyone. The second is a welcome for the Horde. I prefer the neutral portal.

Just a reminder that haters are unserious people and their opinions should not matter to you. I mean, be safe, but... don't give weight to the opinions of cowards. Make people earn the right of your validation.

I could not have children of my own, but I do consider at least two generations the children of my soul. I am so proud of all of you. Make the bastards pay!

Yep. That about sums up my day.

The only downside is that Blizzard's pre-sundering Azeroth is a Pangea, which makes for a bloody boring continent from a game design standpoint. I mean, imagine starting WoW 2.0 having to explore a pancake. Unless...

@thelever.bsky.social A lot of mischief happening in LI politics if you have the bandwidth to have someone take a gander. NY1 may be in play. There's a controversy over the Huntington Supervisor's election last year - and now this. Local politics is the pebble that starts the avalanche.

This is what happens when 1) you don't engage locally but also 2) you do engage locally. Engaging locally is the most powerful thing you can do. It how the Republicans entrenched themselves to the point Trump got elected, twice.

All good advice. You just let people drift away. Trust me - you mean so little to these people, they will never notice you are gone until you are gone. However, the only way this works is if you take them out of your contacts list, previous recipients, etc. You mute, not unfollow. 1/

I have been at adenomyosis levels since I was 11. THAT level of pain was my normal. And for all I had endometrial cancer, I was told I did not have endometriosis.

I am torn. On one hand, this is a good time to just sunset Rift. I don't subscribe. I haven't touched the game in 2 years, if not more (I really think it's 5 or 6). On the other, my launch character is there. But really, this kind of thing gives players permission to quit your game.

I want to use this to recontextualize the Alliance. The Alliance is not the Horde. The Alliance is just that -an alliance of species-drive city-states. Why is it human themed? For the same reason Agamemnon leads the Greek forces against Troy. The humans are the largest faction, with the most ppl

Agamemnon was chosen to lead the Greeks for reasons that had almost nothing to do with being the wisest or the most beloved. He was simply the most powerful.
As king of Mycenae he controlled the largest army and the biggest fleet of any of the Greek rulers. When the call went out to retrieve Helen, the other kings brought their own forces, but none of them could match the scale of what Agamemnon could put on the water. In a coalition of proud, competitive leaders, the man with the most ships and the most men becomes the default commander whether anyone fully trusts him or not.
There was also the family connection. Helen was his brother's wife. Menelaus had the personal grievance, but Agamemnon had the resources and the status to turn that grievance into a full-scale war. The Atreid name carried weight. Their line was already tied to power, wealth, and a certain ruthless practicality. The other kings could argue and scheme all they wanted, but when it came time to actually move an army across the sea, they needed someone who could feed it, house it, and keep it together for ten years.
He was not chosen because he was the best man. He was chosen because he was the only one in a position to make the entire expedition possible. That is how power usually works in these stories.

There was an essay associated with this image, a really nice one. But I want to focus on this art. This is absolutely a face that could have launched a thousand ships. If you can't see the beauty, that's a you problem. For context, I am white, and Greek (and a woman). All I see is Helen of Troy.

I guess it was a really good time for me to have given up takeaway. And we generally avoid lettuce because apparently squirrels happen and then I end up with lettuce soup.

There's Activision Blizzard, but nothing recent. but, that just means any action is more than 60 days out and/OR affected less than 100 people.

It's passed, but there's Bungie. WARN has to be filed in advance, so if you track WARN notices, you know early what may be coming down the pike.

Atanae @atanae.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

Zenimax shows up, with the same timetable as Microsoft, so maybe the studios are reporting independently?

Atanae @atanae.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

This may be the same as what we saw, or it may be new - but Microsoft hit WARN. Looks like the target date is September 4. I don't believe X-Box shows up in WARN, which is a convenient way for Microsoft to hide the hit to X-Box.
