Rainbow Six Vegas 2 makes SO many solid mechanical improvements over its predecessor that the ways it falls down (cutting co-op from 4 players two, somehow even stupider story with even worse dialog) stand out all the more

I think the main reason people are on Bsky is that it's the only one of this kind of website that even *kind of* works and isn't loaded up with annoying horseshit Plus all of them are run by stupid, evil bigots, but the stupid, evil bigots in charge here have less power in society Also: No ads yet

I worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor for three years in my teens. This is spot on. Non-paywalled version gcaptain.com/drowning/

I think it’s so awesome how many people developed a disease where they think that giving someone 20 dollars means you are now their indentured servant. They think they’re shark tank & making a big investment and not someone who bought a toy that said “work in progress” and already played with it.

If you think these are bad, my original idea was to just do DS9 ones with Babylon 5 episode titles

this is one of those things that sounds reasonable, until you realize how essential cars are for most Americans because of the way we've constructed our infrastructure. plus, of course, we know that surveillance will ALWAYS be used to punish people of color and the poor

Hey what's up, I'm that dipshit on the podcast who isn't smart or interesting but who the other hosts like for some reason. I love to reference pop culture as if a reference is a joke in and of itself. I also like to make inappropriate sexual comments, again in place of a joke

Destiny was dead to me on launch because there wasn't really anything to do in it, and when they added stuff to do they charged $30 for it. But for the purposes of this joke, let's pretend that isn't true: Destiny was dead to me the second they replaced Dinklage's hilariously phoned-in performance

the inexplicable pivot to video for "how to install this program" Has done nothing for humanity but add 100 cumulative hours to everyone's life that are spent doing nothing but listening to some awkward nerd saying, "Hey guys, I'm so and so tech and this is, uh, my desktop"

happy 10th birthday to The Nice Guys, one of the best movies ever made

The way Rhode Island measures homelessness results in undercounts; and criminalization makes things worse The true extent of homelessness is much larger than the PIT Count indicates. steveahlquist.substack.com/p/the-way-rh...

If you listen to Democrats talk about January 6 now its very clear that they consider harming police officers to be a much more serious offense than trying to overthrow the government and establish a dictatorship.

ST. PETER: [looking up from podium and tightening lips] mr. frank you should have worn an undershirt

Uncle Tony's in East Providence is the pizza I grew up on and it will always be my favorite (unless they change it or go out of business) It's kinda between a thick Greek-style pie and a NY-style pie. Lovely crust, great sauce and cheeses. Just a perfect pizza imo! My go-to is mushrooms and olives

It's a shame Marty Robbins, a Goldwater Republican, died before he could see his music take off again because a bunch of queer weirdos adopted an orphaned Fallout video game. It would have killed him

Reminder that this company is the recipient of several billion dollars in government contracts, and Joe Biden could have cancelled them all with the stoke of a pen.

Imagine being so racist that it fucks up your attempt to frame a guy for a murder he actually committed lol Rest in piss, idiot

Grogu got in the trash and ate some chocolate and he died

Brianna Wu has been a stupid racist asshole who acts out for attention for years; we don't all need to feign surprise and start paying attention to her every time she acts out for attention by being a stupid racist asshole It's ok to just ignore her!

Also a useful PSA for those who would like to block him now.

One thing that makes it hard to be optimistic about the future is seeing how many people actively live in a fantasy world where they believe the Democrats will actually do anything in the event they ever take office again

Rockstar primarily sells two fantasies in their games: 1 What if tangible technology like cars, guns, phones, etc. continued to advance like normal, but culturally it was 1997 2 What if there was cowboy stuff everywhere, but culturally it was 1997

I used to be surprised by the criticism I saw of her online as a bogus communist because I was listening to relatively old recordings. I was like "ah is this criticism perhaps driven by bigotry?" But her stuff from the last few years really opened my eyes. Damaged by popularity, probably irreparably

If you are following Shelved By Genre please note Spotify is automatically removing every episode where we read a certain amount of the text because they think we're trying to make an illegal audiobook.

Imagine you're watching a trailer for an unfamiliar movie in a theater, it's got undead pirates, medieval knights, samurai etc. What's going on with this crazy movie? It fades to black and right before the title fades up, the narrator goes "Welcome back, to the stage of history." I'd be hollering

"Communist" podcaster saying one medium-profile member of a minority being armed puts the entire group at risk only a few short months after saying Americans should shoot back at ICE agents Innerestin! Guns are good when the outrage is fresh, but ontologically evil when the outrages are normalized

Drake letting his gf stay up late for his midnight album drop

Whenever a child asks a 96 year old Senator to do literally anything to make sure humans survive past the next 25 years

That Guardian list of 100 best novels published in English is getting a fair amount of mileage out of "published in" when #10 is a French novel

Ex cia and current governor of Virginia Abigail Spanberger (D) vetoed a collective bargaining bill passed by General Assembly www.commondreams.org/news/spanber...

Hi I'm a liberal activist. I am the only one who knows how to win at politics, and if you do whatever I say for the next 10~20 years we can start slowing the right down and start making incremental progress towards incremental progress. If you chip the paint on a trash can, I will call the SWAT team

Can someone explain how we somehow have both a “shadows are the enemy; flat all-bright lighting only” problem *and* a “no part of the screen should ever be more then four lumens bright” problem in modern media

There are actually eight Water Lightning Earth Fire Cold Shield Life Arcane/Death

TRANS WOMAN: i'm in distress CIS LIBERAL: no you aren't :) if you look here you actually aren't

32 House Democrats joined the GOP to vote to criminalize bail funds. clerk.house.gov/Votes/2026169

Wendy's taking their crown jewel, the spicy chicken sandwich, once the absolute bar-none best fast food chicken sandwich from any national chain, and making it both more expensive and way worse at the same time is wild Real MBA brain move. Like what if New Coke but without the financial safety net

Onstad let his brain get fucked up and ruined by LLMs really early on and now he's letting one destroy the best thing he ever built when he still knew how to think Genuinely depressing shit

People who love AI insist its the future while it literally poisons everyone's future, our planet, to do things we could already do on our own worse.

LRT Amo and Magaziner just joined 142 other Dems in helping the GOP try to deputize every corporate retail investigator as a DHS stooge with no obligation to obey the 4th amendment and no oversight whatsoever Dems love a public private partnership!

144 House Democrats joined 203 Republicans to vote for this bill which gives DHS and ICE new powers to collect personal information of both migrants and American citizens

One feature every VPN should have is a timed disable thingo I ditched my last VPN after finding out they were one of the ones owned by zionist settlers, but right before I did they added a feature that let you disable it for 5/+ minutes. That was great for bank and gov't pages that don't like VPNs!

Every time I teach the MOVE bombing, students are shocked. And when I teach the aftermath involving an anthropologist who hoarded some of the remains and used them as teaching tools, they are even more shocked. And I teach in Pennsylvania. Even some students from Philly are unaware of this history
