#TheTwen2ie5 #33 SLEAFORD MODS - UK GRIM (2023) Not as good as The Northern Boys, now that I think about it...

Her: Describe your perfect date Me: It's cold outside, I'm under a blanket, I've never played the GBA Castlevanias before and just fired up Circle of the Moon. You're there, of course, doing something you enjoy.

Hello! This is an important one, so it won’t be the last time I post it. The Land Defenders on Hunters Mountain are gearing up for winter. They are resolute. But they need supplies, they are winterizing the cabins they built, there is food and firewood and gas for generators needed.

New zines! I didn’t know they’d be so… small! Not that there’s anything wrong with that! Digging in this afternoon (after I do some work on my own zines, actually). Check out @mathewkumar.com to get your own, there are digital options and a physical ones still in stock.

Had this been a 40mhz 385-DX they'd have got away with it, I think.

This is fucking brilliant, and you should read it: lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

In an odd way, this is a great video to watch if you'd like to get to know *me* a bit better. A lot of these games were ones I played as a bairn—or ones I coveted!

The Flex Loan, a new type of payday loan pioneered by Advance Financial in Tennessee, allows residents to borrow up to $4,000 at a 279.5% interest rate. It has burdened low-income borrowers while generating huge profits for lenders. (Published May with @tennesseelookout.com)

It’s really important that #Vancouver’s Downtown Business Association, who were originally against bike-lanes, are now among their most vigourous supporters, because of ACTUAL EVIDENCE that they’re better for downtown business than any street parking they replaced. Safe bike-lanes mean business.

Israel’s underground jail, where Palestinians are held without charge and never see daylight

I would put more money on continuing to harvest infinite energy from the sun over assuming that forcing everyone to use The Machine The Lies To You is the steady basis of an entire economy

#TheTwen2ie5 #31 JADU HEART - I Shimmer (2023) youtu.be/8Q1ke4UJB6Q #32 PINKPANTHERESS, ICE SPICE - Boy's A Liar Pt. 2 (2023) A rare vote for a big obvious pop bop but there's such a "Sonic The Hedgehog beats to study/relax to" vibe here

Sunsonic 986-II - Famicom with a built-in CRT.

Physical copies are still available on our new, more streamlined shop!

Hamazaki Has To Goh - where does Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio draw the line on casting, and why is it not at sexual assault? by @ashlikeadragon.bsky.social "it’s particularly insulting and disgusting for him to be cast in a series that has historically featured sex pests being (rightly) beat up" Read on:

I was a member of TGA Future Class 2022 and lemmee tell ya, my skin has been crawling since pretty much every interaction I had with them (few) & story I heard about other members' interactions with them (many) was bad. & by bad I mean, so many shades of being used as photo op tokens & nothing more

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

trash-tier organization. the craven way they attempted to use the future class as a "30 under 30"-esque fig leaf to make it seem like they were socially engaged, while actively treating that class as if they were trophies rather than humans, is disgusting.

I’m not surprised Alan Carr did so well on Celebrity Traitors… I mean he convinced all those people to stop smoking!

The Scottish Greens stand with the dozens of workers sacked by @rockstargames.com for exercising their right to organise with @gameworkers.co.uk @iwgbunion.bsky.social Reinstate them now, then get around the table & give your staff the pay & conditions they deserve for making you billions.

“Sorry, we had to delay GTAVI again because we had to fire a bunch of staff because [checks notes] they were trying to organise to be treated fairly”

I keep looking at this and it keeps saying "Chris Columbus" instead of Joe Dante. I'll check again later maybe they'll fix it

Europeans watching Zohran Mamdani's election

From the exp. archive: Pursuit Force (Bigbig Studios, 2005):

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Unlocked! I've genuinely written the most detailed article there is in English on Ubisoft's very first game, Zombi. The Guillemot family expanded from selling farming equipment to getting a teenager to rip off Dawn Of The Dead for them, and the rest is history:

MrBeast hates Zohran because if people have access to basic necessities, it will demolish the Giving People Those Necessities As Part Of A Saw-Inspired Game Show industry

#TheTwen2ie5 #30 VØJ, NARVENT - Memory Reboot (2023) Didn't notice until now that this has *156 million* views. I have this feeling synthwave is seen as a bit naff, but I think at its best its guileless nature can hit something deep, something people clearly want to play on repeat.

Listening to the 300th episode of Off Menu where Ed and James pick their most recent dream menus

The Palestinian groups’ YouTube channels hosted hours of footage documenting and highlighting alleged Israeli government violations of international law in both Gaza and the West Bank. interc.pt/4oUJNer

The full weight of western capitalism is about to laser focus on NYC. The robber barons failed to win and will panic. They will sabotage NYC because the system cannot allow Mamdani's term to be successful. They cannot allow people to believe things can be better. Your job now is to hold the line. 1/

NYC exit polling offers a rare look at the very top income brackets. Honestly think this is the only place where class preferences really become visible: support for Mamdani only begins cratering among people who can maintain a high standard of living in NYC without working.

New exp. for subscribers! Not everyone played Nintendo growing up. But I didn't play Master System either. So let's look at Alex Kidd in Miracle World now: expzine.com/2025/11/04/a... Patreon link: www.patreon.com/posts/alex-k...

Absolutely insane. Labour would have purged and smeared someone like Zohran Mamdani. Wes Streeting's politics align far more closely with Andrew Cuomo. The lessons from Mamdani are about how to defeat both the right - and the bankrupt "centre".

Had to share this from twitter just because

The bad news is that *even in the current climate* liberals, capitalists, and mainstream media will form a united front with the fascists to oppose a center-left candidate. The good news is that they can be defeated.

now the real work begins

At this point, anyone—a university, a law firm, a corporation, a Democrat—bending the knee to Trump is doing it because they want to, not because of any political reality.

This is the face of the Democratic leadership, our party's leader in the fight against fascism: He voted for the guy Trump supports and he's too much of a chickenshit to admit it. Vive la Résistance!

#TheTwen2ie5 #29 CLOTH - Sidecar (2022) +11 One of the most sublime things I've ever heard.

Ok but is it going to be in the Dark Universe 🤞🏽

rip 😔

Captain Torture

honestly my most leftist gym bro take is that gyms are a public good and should be state owned and free, not private

As you see Elon Musk, Donald Trump, and Stephen Miller all endorse Andrew Cuomo, just remember that Chuck Schumer — leader of the Democratic party — never ended up endorsing Cuomo's opponent (the Democratic nominee)
