Qasim Rashid is the one person in this quick discussion I'd like to have actually met. I follow him on Facebook and you should definitely get all you can about him. He is a cool frood.

Otherwise your post sounds like trying to get anywhere or see anything at any big convention, like SIGGRAPH (https://s2024.siggraph.org/), which i quit bothering to attend ages ago.

There was still a Guinness Stout in the refrigerator of the Countdown House after last week's Toomush convention. I drank it...

Having no TV, I'm catching up today on what looked pretty fucking great. Also they should have swept you guys in on their shoulders, a la Billie Jean King. Oh. and McCormick Place kills migrating birds by the thousands because they can't bear to darken their windows at night. They all suck.

An ex-Arizonan, I would do......... a LOT............ for a selfie with Congressman Gallego.

And I mean that in the sauciest way possible, okay?

I'm 99% sure that "child" with the beer is actually Jack Doherty, one of the most awful human beings ever to exist. He made a fortune on Tik Tok as one of those obnoxious "pranksters" who just straight up harasses random people until they get pissed off, then his giant bodyguard steps in to protect him. He also "manages" several Onlyfans cam girls, because of course he does. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzJ2OpEpuoA

If it is Jack Doherty than he is not old enough to drink beer legally. He will not be 21 until October of this year.

This actually was a totally great post. The only thing that would make it perfect is a picture of the marvy couch. (A tasteful pic, not something likely to excite Couchfucker Vance.)

When is a picture of a couch just a picture of a couch?

How dare they treat the Inventor of the Mommy Blog and Dick Joke Emporium (TM) in such a way!

Absolutely. If anyone is entitled to be a Karen, it's the Boss of Us All.

By creators, I thought you were making fun of some DNC hosted event for business owners. I didn't know you meant kids on TikTok. I'm all for getting kids interested in politics early, but there should be room for the old guard. too.

I have fact checked your description of McCormick Place based on my own memories of doing large events there and your description is factcheck: TRUE! Absurdly long halls leading you to yet another collection of conference and/or ballrooms in various drab colors. Lack of beer. I am actually really disappointed in the lack of beer. This is Chicago and we have beautiful weather this week. Beer should be plentiful everywhere!

Not being able to walk (well, more than 10 steps) I'm glad I wasn't present. Plus, Rebecca would never forgive me if she had to wheel my fat ass down all those long hallways...which would've been especially difficult, since I don't use a chair.
