I was not allowed to play Grand Theft Auto but I was allowed to play Age of Empires so I was a 10 year old who knew what religious schisms, colonialism, and genocide were

for almost everyone, believing all world events revolve around you is delusional, and Trump believed it about himself before it was true for him But it is true that for him right now he really is the center of all events and the universe

logging off for even a little bit is great because this is the first thing I saw. incredible

The antichrist waited until the day when the western Easter octave overlaps with the Eastern Pascha to attack the Pope

Would be nice if the Spurs started playing defense at some point. #NBA

In a new post, Trump has attacked Pope Leo. The move comes after Leo’s prayer service for peace yesterday, and after 3 US Cardinals spoke out against the war in Iran, and Trump’s immigration policies. No words here.

Carter Bryant with a dunk on Joker, holy guacamole! 🥑

The Spurs should give Harrison Barnes as many shots as possible

This Spurs-Nuggets game feels like an in lap. (There I go again mixing up sports metaphors.)

BREAKING: Doc Rivers is departing as head coach of the Milwaukee Bucks, sources tell ESPN. After a 32-50 season, the Bucks will embark on their third coaching search in the last three years.

i think you can make a good case for at least a couple of these, but lists like this are always going to have a ton of recency bias, this isn't different than "best rock records of all time" or "best books of all time", these lists will always end up like this and it's silly to get mad about it

Tetris is so old that I think it doesn’t even scan as a video game to a lot of people, especially yunguns

One way Ohranger was an anniversary series was that it was a callback to the Showa styling of Super Sentai as a paramilitary team, though of course refitted with 90s aesthetics. (And then the show had to be slightly retooled after the disasters of 1995)

I grow increasingly convinced about this, unfortunately

The thing about American superhero comics is that they have forgotten about serialization. (And let's not lump European-style comics with American comics, please.)

Persona 3 fans 🤝 40k fans "Fuck Erebus"

It was dumb as hell to send any American to campaign for Orban. You not only encourage your opponents, you discourage you own people. What nationalist party worth a damn thinks it needs a lift from someone outside the border?

My biggest takeaway is the Dems need a candidate named "John American"

This is a good example of how politics is just aesthetics and vibes for lots of people. Like I bet if you went down the candidate platforms Rogan would agree far more often with Dem planks than R planks but he self identifies as a Guy and Guys aren't effeminate liberals, thus he cannot be a Democrat

I think it's obvious that JD Vance has negative charisma. Or to borrow from the late, great Terry Pratchett, charisn'tma.

De-Orbanization, successful or not, will teach us more useful lessons than Orban ever taught the Trump administration

Every Beyblade match in the anime be like

which is just to say: the statistics don’t lie, but that doesn’t mean that when the water levels rise your specific boat will go up, or that you won’t feel the pinch in various places, etc etc

the difficult thing about economic facts is that everyone in their current situation is their own median case, but ofc it is pretty much impossible to extrapolate from your own individual case to the society as a whole — and if your social circle is small or relatively insular… (!)

Two Spurs on the list (Julian Champagnie and my Sixth Man Keldon Johnson).

The Spurs say Victor Wembanyama is OUT tonight against Denver. He will play in Game 1 of the NBA Playoffs next Saturday or Sunday.

Orbán out in Hungary. Hope in 2028 we see the GOP and the Dutertes take the L, too.

Orban achieved a level of authoritarian consolidation unthinkable here and they still successfully got rid of him. Never let the doomers have the final say.

Viktor LOrbán

One of the worst traits of bad people is their tendency to assume everyone is or should be awful in the same ways they are.

Timeline cleanse: FF7 Remake/Rebirth style.

Okay but to be fair, what’s “free will” after a psychotic break that alters all of reality?

I read "Baron Harkonnen" as "Baron Raikkonen" and that's my sign that I have to go to bed

my humor is basically thinking "how can i make this situation about Formula 1", and make the most obscure references that only @poisonhw.bsky.social among my friend group can get

There's "keeping up with the Joneses" and then there's a practical industry made out of people who encourage you to try and keep up even as you increasingly cannot. And this ultimately has its roots in people thinking of themselves as consumers first and citizens second!

Relatedly, so many people's major media consumption is lifestyle influencers who are basically professionally unboxing and consuming 24/7, advertising a level of consumption that is not just unaffordable but actually insane/nonfunctional. But if their consumption level is how you calibrate yours...

It’s incredibly bad that we have a generation of young men who think that you need $600k a year to be comfortable and the only way to get it is crypto and DraftKings

One gets the feeling the lesson people learned from Enron wasn't "don't cook your books", but "don't get caught cooking your books"

That's not counting the number of times bankers and loan officers explain to me how to defraud the systems they use to allocate loans, or comfort letters, boy, let me tell you about comfort letters, when banks try to put me on the hook for their KYC

My system was better and produced more interesting results

🤯 Michael Schumacher won 72 races for Ferrari during his 11 seasons with the team from 1996 to 2006. Ferrari has only won 56 races in the 20 seasons since then.

I frequently laud the wisdom of "Don't engage, just block" when it comes to trolls on social media, but here on Bluesky I also want to remind people that you can detach quotes and use "mute for all" for comments when you find either in bad faith, aside the point or otherwise problematic. Try it!

80s movies were often kinda sexist but at least "bromance between a black guy and a white guy" had to be on the menu. now even that gets a "wahhhhhhh this won't sell in china" on no empirical evidence
