Just had to end a dating relationship with someone. It's never easy especially when they did nothing wrong, but something just isn't clicking.

@dark1x.bsky.social I'm surprised you didn't bring up the Saturn and the N64 both had expandable RAM in the latest Q&A video

If Sinners came out in the 90s there would be an SNES and Genesis game that would be made by totally different developers. The Genesis version youd play as Smoke and you’d have a gun and in the SNES version you play as Preacherboy and you fight vampires with your guitar

Watching the WBC in Japanese was the right call. Better commercials where I don't get Marky Mark asking me to pray and also Ichibazzana!

The boys and I got over 100 comics tonight from Carol and Johns. 20% of all sales tonight went to Blood Cancer United so felt it was a good time to go.

thelandcle.org/stories/one-... I love Carol and Johns so much. Easily the best comic shop I've ever been to.
thelandcle.org
One of America's best comic book shops is in Cleveland, and it's here to preserve the stories – The Land
In a country still writing its mythology, Carol & John’s is where those stories are shared again, one comic at a time.

Clevelanders for Public Transit @clefortransit.bsky.social · 04/02/2026
Without the hardworking operators and mechanics at RTA, we'd never get anywhere. That's why this year we celebrate those hardworking union folks with a gift of coffee and doughnuts to the agency's two district bus garages.
Two RTA emplpoyees stand over several boxes of doughtnuts.Two RTA employees wearing blue agency uniforms. The man on the far left holds a cup of coffee and the woman in the middle holds a box of doughnuts. On the right, a man in red pants and a yellow sweatshirt with the text "Fund Public Transit" on it holds a box of doughnuts.A flyer that is yellow on top and green on the bottom with a skyline inbetween. The flyer is advertising Transit Equity Day 2026. It says "For Just and Equitable Mass Transit" and was created by the Labor Network for Sustainability.A mosaic of puctures featuring public transit workers and community members at rallies for public transit funding.

Power with the people! Also we are sick & tired of having a government organization ran by untrained people who have been constantly violating the law, apprehending, kidnapping & killing people. Tired of the injustices at home & abroad carried out by a government that doesn't actually care about us.

Absolutely shameful to throw your employee under the bus when they’re murdered, but that’s what happens when you’re in the dumbest cult of personality in the history of the world
We can confirm Alex Pretti was a nurse at the Minneapolis VA Medical Center. As President Trump has said, nobody wants to see chaos and death in American cities, and we send our condolences to the Pretti family. Such tragedies are unfortunately happening in Minnesota because of state and local officials’ refusal to cooperate with the federal government to enforce the law and deport dangerous illegal criminals.

For those who have family with dementia, how are you dealing? My dad has it & over the past year or so it has gotten really bad. His old memories are there but short term is gone. Also he seems like a totally different person to me than he was just 5 years ago. It's been pretty rough.

"...keeping the airport open doesn’t contribute to Cleveland’s bottom line. Trivisonno pointed to studies released in 2024 that concluded even a big, open green space would do more for the city economically than the current airport" #CLEVELAND #THELAND www.cleveland.com/news/2026/01...

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

Had to get new headphones. People keep saying why don't you get earbuds? Do ear buds keep my ears warm in the winter? No! Also going wired because I specifically bought my phone because it still has a 3.5mm jack. Not everything needs to be wireless.
