A 28mm scale terrain building that looks like a Waffle House but says YINZERHOUSE

the tables for today’s infinity tournament include my absolute favorite piece of terrain

I’m sitting here at the Pens game watching Ryan Graves do Ryan Graves things and thinking that @amergina.bsky.social should branch out into hockey murder mysteries and maybe do one about a team having its own player killed for salary cap reasons.

Someone should remind the billionaires that before workers had the right to organize and join a union, disgruntled employees occasionally resorted to using bombs and bullets to make themselves heard.

just perfectly fitting that 600 came from such a ridiculous angle too

this may be universally true. r/pittsburgh has one particular Arby’s in the suburbs but also the world’s strangest Burger King on the south side.

setting up for RPG night is so soothing

@elljayvalentine.bsky.social is already sick of me saying ‘b-b-b-b-bennie and the gesserits’

now picturing a HIMARS launcher but for sausages

Uzbek leftovers from Kavsar up on Mt Washington are top-tier — dumplings, stews, noodles, a little carrot salad, some nice soft bread to heat up and mop everything up with.

Even if they Pod Save libs *are right* (big if) that anti-trans sentiment swung the election, the idea that we should abandon justice when it’s unpopular is so repugnant and regressive I can’t even get my mind around it. We fight for justice because it’s right, not because it’s popular.

The board for Thunder Toad Vendetta, with cars and motorcycles racing.

all the expansions from the Thunder Road Vendetta kickstarter showed up, and boy was what this game needed some motorcycles, stunt ramps, and fire. super fun.

bird sounds

do you have to get the phrasing precisely right too or is the parser at least pretty good?

I’d agree but tbh these dudes probably shouldn’t be allowed to be around elementary school kids.

We had a glowing-eye mothman too! Kid was all apologetic that she had to take the mask off to actually see into the candy bowl.

he looks like someone put an inflatable sex doll on a road flagging crew

Kamala Harris' campaign has set up an island in Fortnite, another foray into the gaming space for Democrats.

Trump's campaign also has an in-game presence as the antagonists in the classic franchise "Wolfenstein"

That whole exhibit is wild and great. I especially love the whole “yeah maybe I’ll throw my wife in as Mary again” period.

Vinn diagram. Prometheus, Saruman, and the Dude from Big Lebowski. The overlap between Prometheus and Sauruman: "cunning fire and technology wielder". Saruman and the Dude: "Obsession with large heavy ball". The Dude and Prometheus: "Severe liver damage". Overlap for all three: "Hates the fucking eagles"

Even after more than a decade of Uber, people don’t seem to get that the venture capitalists only subsidize the “disruptive” tech long enough to throw the displaced workers into permanent precarity, then they raise prices after destroying the overall market. Cab driver suicides are the strategy.

no luck there, but the last time I was in they had frozen kalimotxo in the slushie machine.

mmmm. my favorite bar serves various flavors of torres chips, optionally with fancy tinned fish. it’s glorious.

would kill for a market to short these stupid assholes. How do I make a fortune betting against these dopes? The guys on top may not believe their own bullshit but they have 1000s of cult followers who genuinely believe we’re 6 months from AI robot workers taking over UPS and Netflix writers’ rooms

oh god I spent SO MUCH time figuring out how best to place my feet so it made as little noise as possible. sure wish that had turned out to be a more useful skill in adulthood.

(or, you know, after I no longer had to live with my father)

today i learned it's common for children of abusive parents to teach themselves how to move silently to avoid attracting wrathful attention, and then i got real sad, thinking about how much time i spent learning it, and how upset i got when i could no longer do it

I'm not saying chiropractors should be illegal, I'm just saying they should have to have cigarette style warning labels in big print on their waiting room walls saying "The guy who invented this says he learned it from a ghost."

absolutely horrifying meme image puts Elijah Wood’s face on Jim Morrison’s body with the caption “come on baby light my shire”

who did this

every other union in america looking at the teamsters right now:

realising i haven't seen anyone do the "just fucking google it" in a long wile, and it's not because people got nicer, it's because google doesn't actually work great anymore
