I know y’all hate to be marketed at but I put together a short promo video of my pinball leaderboard system. I think it’s neat! :)

Didn’t get around to Portal until a couple years after release. It’d be my fav now. At the time, I was all-in on WoW from the first beta thru the next 7 years or so. Was GM of a 500-player raiding guild and top 10 worldwide in my class/spec. Thousands of hours, but the love just faded completely.

This is how Facebook chose to communicate to me a number going from 530 to 545. This degree of graphing sin should be a FELONY: The absurdly narrow y-axis. The insane three decimal points of precision on a unit that can by only be whole numbers. The inexplicable rising precision of the Y.

Won both the Carpool League and Pinball Basement League this week! Should net me about 90 WPPRs. Feels bittersweet, with how empty and meaningless those points seem now. I do still love competing and playing pinball, though. #pinball #ifpa

I've been screaming about this for a decade. Conservatives spent the last 30 years dictating their ideology and actively indoctrinating old and young alike. Dems spent it stroking their chins and nodding sagely at idiots in diners spouting talking points they got from Fox News.

I was teaching in austin during this race, and another teacher in my cohort was dear friends with Jessica Cisneros, the woman running against him.

Pro abortion, pro-medicare for all, immigration attorney for RAICES. And the dems backed her conservative opponent.

Racists think "racist" is a slur used to hurt white people, justifying that opinion with the claim "you think all white people are racists" but in fact the foundation of this opinion is that racists think that all white people are racists.

"I can't imagine raising a baby without Chat GPT" should get you exiled from Planet Earth, just you and your laptop. (Baby stays here to be raised by humans.)

we all got cowed into avoiding "virtue signaling" as if the public affirmation of socially agreed upon ethical principles was somehow cringey instead of a significant part of what a "society" even is. now all there's left is vice signaling, and it's reshaping society.

New video today! Why Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Sam Altman and other wanna-be Silicon Valley gods love to cosplay Star Trek, all while stealing the very future they idolize from us all.

#silksong is the best game I've played in years. Also the most challenging game I've ever gotten to 100%. I really appreciate that doing so is just beating bosses and getting all the tools and abilities, no "collect all 900 pinecones" BS. This took me about 80 hours. PHENOMENAL value for $20!

Society is a construct. You can just ask someone to do a ska cover of Faith of the Heart and they'll say "$300 please" and you give it to them and then you have it.

Everyone, give

your money. They deserve it.

Dropped out of college to join the mid-90s dot com boom in northern VA. Worked my way up by lying my ass off on resumes and frantically learning to code on the job. At the time, startups were so desperate for coders you could just do that. Did well. Retired at 45. Now I collect and play pinball.

The emergency brake on this train says "FINE FOR MISUSE" so I guess it's okay if you want to mess with it

These two official statements from the IFPA make it blindingly obvious that the OBX Flippers Tournament results cannot be counted without blatantly defying their own stated rules. This should be so easy.

DAMMIT I meant IFPA (International Flipper Pinball) policies, not FSPA (Free State Pinball Association) policies just dumb typo. (The FSPA is the org that runs most local leagues - and Kevin is the president)

I wholeheartedly support @arborelia.net ’s position that the OBX tournament very obviously did not adhere to IFPA’s own policies on inclusion. Therefore WPPR points should be removed from the tournament. Not doing so puts IFPA in direct violation of its own rules. 4/4

As many already know (but others may not), Kevin runs a huge chunk of pinball in VA. He’s the IFPA state rep, owns games at several locations, runs leagues & tournaments year round, and organizes/TDs/hosts the FSPA State finals. It is ESSENTIAL that he upholds FSPA anti-discrimination policies. 3/4

And I somehow missed any of the posts about this incident over the last two days until now. (I also can’t find any convo on the IFPA discord). Thank you for speaking up, thank you to the others who also spoke up such as @scoutpilgrim.bsky.social . I’m sorry for seeing this so late. 2/4

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I have played in that tournament before, and tonight I am (scheduled to be) playing week 4 of a league run by Kevin (Carpool, Arlington VA). This is the first I’ve heard of this incident – I self-disconnected from local/FSPA pinball social media a while back...1/4
