they all write/talk like this now and it feels like a new genre: hate smut; manic, agitated vitriol that reads like it was written while feverishly masturbating to revenge fantasies

A Japanese organization representing Studio Ghibli, Bandai Namco, Toei Animation and more has demanded OpenAI to halt unauthorized use of their IP

When you see Mamdani looking all normal doing normal person things—petting bodega cats, riding public transport—you realize just how bizarre and estranged our average candidate for public office is. Rich martians in flesh suits

I was looking at something on the tv. Have a great Halloween night!

800 million people? Man, there's a global education crisis then.

Guillermo del Toro says he’d ‘rather die’ than use generative AI “My concern is not artificial intelligence, but natural stupidity. I think that's what drives most of the world's worst features” (via NPR)

I don't understand the idea of the government being able to force any union back to work. If everyone just chooses to quit, what are you going to do about that? If EVERYONE just refuses to work, how are you going to solve that problem? You lose people when you choose profits first.

The destruction of the White House is like the most obvious metaphor I've ever seen. Yet another example of "If I put this in fiction, everyone would say it's tacky."

If a fascist takes over your government then overthrow him, if a fascist invades your country then destroy him, if a fascist exists it is your duty to defeat him. There are no negotiations with fascists.

Almost like we founded the entire country on opposing this exact sentence.

I keep seeing headlines like this. "LOSE WEIGHT WITHOUT DOING ANY WORK" Stop. Stop doing this. It misleads people into thinking there are tricks to losing weight. This says, "Switch meat for beans." - Beans are high in fibre - Bean group exercised more - Intake was self-reported Shit is so harmful.

Ahh fuck. That's real bummer news today. The world has just lost a legend.

First trailer for ‘Avatar Legends: The Fighting Game’ 🎮 Releasing on PlayStation, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and Steam Coming Summer 2026

We're prepping Sonder for the next evolution of our little comic. Check out this website banner @esskaden.bsky.social put together. Lots to share soon!

I started playing Unicorn Overlord the other day. I forgot I'd bought a physical copy a while back. This game should be so much bigger than it is. I'm just getting into it, but it truly is incredible. And when you think it doesn't get deeper, layers just keep getting unfurled.

I'm gonna start posting more of my random IG story shit over here. So here's a walk selfie from yesterday.

Why has no one made a Chrono Cross "Solt" and "Peppor" shakers (and "Ketchop" bottle)? Maybe I'm the only one who'd buy that.

I support B.J. Blazkowicz, famous Antifa leader, founder, and revolutionary.

"We took the freedom of speech away..."

I find it baffling how little impact the existence of the Undertaker, a literal walking corpse, has had on science and religion

Okay, so maybe it shouldn't exist. Why should the existence of a business be more important than the rights of people? This is all fucking backwards. Rich people make me sick.

Coming from Dr. Oz, this is fucking hilarious. It's staggering how "every accusation is a confession" is just true with these morons.

Man. This sucks. Metal Hellsinger was actually sooo dope. Wishing all the folks there a soft landing.

That she's cool as fuck?

Wow. These guys really are just... completely larping. And entirely missing the point of the Punisher. Actually, spitting in the face of what the Punisher is about. Newsflash. Frank Castle would be coming after y'all.

James Gunn on #Peacemaker S2 E6 "I have a few racists that have called me polarizing, but I'm okay with being polarizing and letting racists fall to the wayside. People have loved this episode the most, so it's exciting" (via GQ)

I love this Mega Man watch face.

Such a wild year for indies. But also just a wild year in general.

On Monday, RFK posted a rambling video on the HHS X account showing a series of graphs and directly stating that vaccines have had minimal impact on human health and saving lives. Today, in response, we brought our own graphs. We will not let his dangerous nonsense go unanswered.

“That son of a bitch. It’s really unbelievable ... I never imagined that we’d ever have a President like this and I hope we don’t have another President like this again” — Jimmy Kimmel on Donald Trump

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Hot wings

I have spent the last decade of my life writing fictional, dystopian, war-oriented societies. If someone is saying something like "stupid rules of engagement," you need to be extremely nervous about this. Beyond nervous, you all need to act. Now. Yesterday. Not today, or you won't have a country.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

I just realized it's about to start getting a lot colder, and I literally have no warm-weather clothes that fit. This whole losing weight thing is all great and all, but god damn it's expensive.

If they just... made good products people actually wanted to buy and stopped doing dumb shit to save money, they'd just make more money. But it's ALWAYS how do we squeeze more juice out of the lemon, when lemons still only contain so much juice.

Animation test for Genndy Tartakovsky's 'The Black Knight' ⚔️ • Follows a knight who controls a 20ft suit of armor in the 14th century • Tartakovsky released the footage to convince Sony to make the film — the studio is unsure if there’s an audience for it

Human rights defender Greta Thunberg: "I am not scared of Israel, I am scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity. What we are doing here is trying to show there is some humanity left. That there are still people willing to step up when all other means fail." #3E

Tylenol Rapture Grogu Labubu

It is fully irresponsible to argue for an American return to global leadership. This country is deeply unwell and has no business leading anything until that's no longer the case. There's a whole world out there capable of tending to the world's problems. We must tend to ours.

Glad to see the US is making policy decisions based on... a single personal anecdote. There's literally no studies linking vaccines to autism. Which makes sense, because autism is genetic and not something you "develop."

america please get a second opinion

Having Jimmy Kimmel back on the air shouldn't feel like a glimmer of "hope."

Everything about this headline is hilarious. And the YouTube views are a reflection of how wildly the right has overblown the number of people paying attention.

There's literally no amount of money you could pay me to attend GDC at this point, or any event held in the US for that matter. I think it behooves a lot of people to just boycott events held specifically in the US and start organizing new events in safer countries. It's just not worth it.

Not... how free speech works, bud.

I love this so much.
