wait, was Smurfette a homunculus

With more people getting the opportunity to play Metal Gear Solid 4, it means more people will understand one of my favorite posts online

Noah is such a thorough critic that the fact that he still missed a fair bit of Deadfire's content speaks to just how sprawling the game is. Still a bit sad he didn't get to do the ghost ship quest. One of my favorites

i think i had the most fun making comics for 4 and PW when i did my MGS playthru, so i'm super excited for those to become more accessible!! 🐍

Super fun to live in a country where the potential reasons run from “Ramping up the concentration camps” to “these dipshits really don’t know anything”

Half of Porphyry's observations on animal behavior are actually backed by the very latest cognitive science 1850 years later...but the other half is like [citation needed]

Of note: I saw wayyy more people rep Bad Bunny today at the grocery store than either of the Super Bowl teams

It's very funny how AI ads are never like, scientists using AI to scan thousands of ancient documents or some kind of actual plausible good use. It's always a guy being like hey chatGPT how do I make a bowl of cereal do I start with a bowl or the milk or what

Every time Trump complains about dumb NFL rule changes

“by the way replace the kickoff rule” is so funny im sorry lmao

Thank you Google I hate using my imagination.

They are currently hot Latinas on my television, I was told Mr. Trump would stop this

Mike Vrabel looks like a guy you fight in a Yakuza game

Y'know when Garth Marenghi said "I've written more books than I've read" he actually, y'know, *wrote* those books.

So it’s either: A) Patriots win another Super Bowl B) something good happens to a Seattle sports fan Either one is unacceptable

You non-sports fans have to understand that for people who are really into pro football, today is basically their Super Bowl

Jane Fonda furthering poisoning the well on nuclear energy and causing the US to double down on fossil fuels

My new favorite genre of Greco-Roman writing: when a writer presents some hearsay about an exotic animal as authoritative fact

i think it’s a price worth paying but if our politicians keep cussing like this it’s not going to be cool anymore. we can largely offset the impact of this by green-lighting and fast-tracking development of new cuss words

So I'm reading "On Abstinence from Eating Animals", an early treatise on ethical vegetarianism written by Porphyory in the 3rd century AD, where the author argues that animals are capable of reason. His line of argument is *very* Greco-Roman:

Embarrassing to see adults talk to robots in a public forum. That'd be like if your friend asked a mailbox for directions once. You'd roast him for decades for that shit. Every time the concept of navigating space came up you'd hit him with "Why don't you ask the mailbox?"

Picturing some occultist waking Glilgamesh up from his tomb and asking all sorts of questions about "genetic alchemy" or whatever and the totally nonplussed king responding "Where is my boyfriend, Enkidu?"

ACAB for Cutie

My dirty confession is that I still follow a Christian nationalist guy on the other site (we wrote for a baseball blog *years* ago) to kinda keep tabs on what's going on in MAGAland. Apparently he's now Bronze Age schizoposting

it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

An excellent thread from the world's foremost space bastard

It is perhaps a (literally) cosmic disappointment that the main use of space is transmitting porno and navigating you to grandma's house (hopefully not at the same time). But, it is what it is. Every space settlement conference needs a grumpy economist in the front row just making guttural noises.

Cool, are they gonna bust the undocumented contract workers Elon hired?

This is such an easy prompt. Yeah give me the seat next to lovely-smelling sorceress and the young woman who has a ton of stories from her interdimensional travels to literal Camelot. Also probably good that Triss has an aisle seat close to the bathroom lmao

How stupid and evil is this administration's immigration policy? Well, let me tell you, we have reached the Daily Kos citing Cato Institute phase of the Trump timeline.

My parents' alma mater SHOWING UP

These guys being from the Rio Grande Valley almost certainly have undocumented family members

Thinking about whoever said that by accepting a meal from people and then arresting them ICE agents broke a cultural taboo that was invented by, like, the first humans to set up a tent

actual soup nazis

Looking up north to San Antonio where their Dem rep isn't completely useless

Every scientist in the Epstein emails does a TED Talk titled "Why Everything We Know About Mitochondria & Inflammation Is Wrong" and writes emails which say "u eva had Romanian pussay

I think we could convince Kash Patel that Kim Possible is real

These morons done turned don lemon into a martyr and political prisoner

You're gonna disagree with some moots about all the shit going on. Some people cope with the stress through optimism and some wish Chuck Schumer to be flung into the Potomac. Try not to be too dickish to people you largely agree with and focus your anger on America's real villain, Michael Rapaport

Doing my part

thank you mr. president
