no one has ever gotten the spirit of our country as right as paul verhoeven making robocop

looking forward to either a 6-3 decision that trump as God Emperor of the United States can change the constitution by fiat or a 5-4 decision that 14th amendment means what it says with a dissent from thomas that actually the constitution recognizes donald j. trump as sovereign

so like, I've said variants of "people should play bad games to get perspective" and I do think that's one important reason to broaden your taste, but also I think it's important to gain at he ability to engage with something without dismissing it offhand

The White House surrenders at 138 million views. Sabrina wins.

Sabrina Carpenter made the White House delete their fuck ass tweet.

My dad did an extensive amount of work for the 1994 World Cup. It was one of the things he was most proud of from a very successful career (he attended many of the games). Since then, whenever FIFA has come up, he always says the same... "Those guys are all criminals."

What does "majority non-European" mean?

The Onion accidentally telling the fuckin' truth yet again

HBO Max putting out a remastered version of this post where you can see the friends

In sixth grade I used the word "stolid" in a paper and my teacher marked it as a spelling error, then accused me of cheating when I tried to argue, so I like to put it into each of my books as a cute little fuck you to that lady.

Heck, let’s remove seatbelts and child care seats while we’re at it. Rolling around free range in the station wagon was a great time as a kid.

In a more sensible and serious world, Mark Kelly would take Pete Hegseth’s job as secretary of defense, @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

According to the DOD's top watchdog, Secretary Hegseth created a risk for servicemembers by sharing sensitive information over Signal during strikes on Houthi forces earlier this year. He should resign & be investigated immediately. Anything less would be a slap in the face to our Armed Forces.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream. Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads. Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

Mark Warner: "I hope it would remind folks that J6 was an ugly, awful day, and this administration and president basically pardoned all the perpetrators. It's that kind of picking and choosing of facts from this crowd that makes me a little bit crazy."

Kash Patel eyes seem to be all the rage these daze.

Listening to Kash Patel speaking now reminds me that for most of my life I heard the heads of Federal agencies speaking in a professional and knowledgeable tone. But now I hear mostly play acting from reality tv people who are completely out of their depths.

Kash Patel was a key figure involved in organizing the attack on the US Capitol on Jan 6

I had to write about Horses for @aftermath.site aftermath.site/horses-indie...

I swear to god none of the people involved here have actually played this game because if they did they’d be embarrassed that this is what they’re afraid of.

Deep Space Nine Oh Two One Oh

Getting to lead the storyboard team for a Nintendo project was a dream come true. What an honor to get to contribute to the legacy of Metroid with this incredible crew. #metroid #gaming #gamedev #filmsky

At some point you have to stop doing 3D-chess and playing pundit-brained games and say "this is a crime and the Constitution tells us what Congress is obligated to do about that."

I think this point is right on the nose. Political leaders have to be willing to take one tiny fraction of risk when they’re urging military officials to take huge (tho, tbc, legally & morally correct) ones.

Hey so all fashion is political. One of the reasons I put a Trans Rights patch on my vest is because I went to a counter protest of a far right rally and spotted a guy dressed exactly like me. The last thing I want is for someone like that to think they're welcome in my spaces based on my outfit.

someone asked if they could buy this and use it as signage at their table. my answer is ABSOLUTELY YES. i explicitly designed it as something to display at my own table so i would be honoured and thrilled if others did as well!! may it bring you wealth and good fortune!!

This makes my blood run cold.

The normalization of this madness is so quick that we’re debating whether a second illegal strike was wrong after an initial illegal strike with no proof of any crime and we’ve already seen just random murders of fishermen normalized with the excuse they’re running drugs, which isn’t legal either.

Ilhan Omar: “His obsession with me is creepy, I'm not going anywhere — I'll be here longer than #Trump - He’s an old man losing his mind. I hope he gets the help he desperately needs—”

"Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough, the crocodile will eat him last. All of them hope that the storm will pass before their turn comes to be devoured." - Winston Churchill (January 20, 1940)

i strongly, strongly believe that good writing is downstream of clear thinking and a strong understanding of the subject matter at hand. without fail, tortured writing comes from writers who don’t know and can’t think clearly about anything.

> Between 1995 and 2021 (our sample period), there were a total of 47 individuals who have been a congressional leader; 20 of whom made stock trades both before and after ascension to leadership.

Sue they ass. AI's adoption by megacorps is built entirely around force and deception because they know how unpopular it is otherwise. An individual suing Amazon is one thing: a whole company doing it has sturdier legs to stand on.

Today 31 years ago the PS1 was released. In honor of Sony Playstation 1's birthday lets unironically celebrate by rewitnessing the greatest (in my opinion) bit of voice acting speech on the platform from Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

During the shutdown, the Senate approved adding $32B to Trump's already record breaking $1 trillion Pentagon budget. The Senate still hasn't voted on extending ACA subsidies — which would cost $35B. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

It’s wild how there’s several different videos of several different establishment democrats giving public talks where they say “it’s a shame young people can see videos of war crimes online because they’re missing the context behind the war crimes”
