If I could have any ability from any video game it would have to be taking a solid eight-hour rest and waking up with my health and stamina at 100%. That or double-jump.

“We should learn to speak in a language that rich people who don't dream can't comprehend”

Netflix: "Are you still watching?" Someone's daughter/son: "Thank you, all of that post-movie trivia was so fascinating. Say, do you typically feel excluded in larger groups?

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

I mean, the realistic but extremely disheartening answer is probably "Because they don't see anyone outside of their circle as human"

Oh no my dick

This new Converge album had better be so heavy it blows my dick clean off

I guess if the crowning achievement of my life were DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE I might be worried about this bland crap replacing me, too.

A manager at a grocery store I worked at told me this and it took all my willpower to stop myself from snapping back, "My full potential doesn't have anything to do with making someone else money." I was riled then and thinking about it pisses me off now too.

No son, they are not "magically delicious." The workers made them delicious. This is a slogan meant to mystify the social conditions of labor

How's everyone else's day going? I just found out the company my ex's dad used to work at helped make the weapons that vaporized at least 2,842 Palestinians and it's kinda sending me mentally over the deep end.

When a video game boss glitches out the first time you fight it, that colours your perspective no matter how many times you do it "correctly". I fought a final boss where I hit it once and it shot straight up into the air and just never came down, and as far as I'm concerned that's the canon ending.

I almost forgot about that

The most interesting side-effect of having spent six months writing a book is now I haven't written anything in about two weeks and I am ITCHING to get back into the habit—whereas for years before it was a struggle to get out of my own head enough to write anything at all.

I thought it was surreal hearing Behind the Bastards mention Ottawa (where I live) last week but it was even more surreal hearing @iwriteok.bsky.social mention fucking PETERBOROUGH (where I was born) today

The Turning Point USA halftime show makes it clear: our multicultural society is keeping us from watching a guy dressed kinda like Ben Franklin play the violin not particularly well

All other issues—plagiarism, environmental impact, etc.—aside, the biggest reason not to use AI is that it can't even perform basic arithmetic consistently. Blaise Pascal made a mechanical calculator 384 years ago. AI is literally 384 years behind on math. Can you trust it to do anything else right?

They licked the boot and now that they no longer enjoy the taste they try to pretend they never did

No one has ever tried to sell me drugs as hard as people try to sell me on AI.

Prediction for the next Super Bowl: the NFL will pick an artist for the halftime show who is popular with the coveted 18-34 demographic. A bunch of MAGA chuds who weren't even cool when they WERE 18-34 will declare it an attack on America because it doesn't appeal to them personally.

Wild to me that the Super Bowl Halftime Show starring a charismatic, handsome young man who is bigger than Taylor Swift managed to outperform TPUSA's alternate event starring… a guy who hasn't had a hit single since 2008?

Already on it

I love some series but all my all-time favourite books are standalone novels (except perhaps the Broken Earth trilogy)

Pretty sure it’s still me, actually, since nobody is gonna come up to you at a signing and tell you how much your slop meant to them.

everyone wants realism in video games until repetition to get better at something is implemented

Suddenly remembered some times I advocated for or promoted myself unusually well in my twenties and was like, “Wow, maybe I was more courageous than I thought back then” Then I remembered that alcohol exists, and that I used to drink it

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

The world needs weird PS2 games now more than ever.

The crazy thing about having severe depression and working retail is that some days the only thing keeping me from obsessively thinking about the fact that I don't particularly want to be alive that day is being bombarded by the petty issues of the dumbest people I have ever encountered.

I cannot sufficiently underline how despicable it is that the IOC has required Haitian Olympic athletes to remove an image representing the leader of the Haitian Revolution (against SLAVERY) from their uniforms.

Petition to restore Mexico's borders to their 1835 positions if the US doesn't stop acting up, all in favour say aye

Folding the pages of a borrowed book is bad book etiquette. Dungeon behavior, really.

By happiness I assume he means an invite to Epstein island

He def has some similarities with Lincoln and Kennedy

sure you might have seen my name in the big pdf that got released titled “list of draculas currently operating in the united states.” here’s why that’s NOT a big deal:

What’s even the point in watching then

Huh 🤔

Has anyone shown this tweet to @tkingfisher.com because it's huuuuuge Alex Easton energy

There is something objectively funny about the fact that the only director desperate enough to make the Melania doc was someone who got run out of Hollywood nearly a decade ago for being a creep—and right as the movie came out, the world learned he was an even bigger creep than previously known.

This is literally just the kind of legislation you write up when you want arcane and easily manipulated laws you can fall back on to arrest anyone you like.

On top of all the utterly horrifying shit, rich people appear to be just barely literate, which explains a few things

Going forward, barring super specific circumstances, I'm retiring the term "white supremacy" to describe Trump & his sycophants—because there's nothing "supreme" about them. Instead, I'll use the term "white narcissism," because they arrogantly and falsely think their skin color makes them better.

Asked my francophone coworker what "Je ne sais quoi" means and he had the AUDACITY to look me dead in the eye and say, "I don't know what." Hmm. Investigation remains ongoing.

It just came out like, the other year

I find the idea of reading in public being "performative" so funny like, uh yeah of course this is a performance, I am performing a ritual to protect myself from being approached in public (I have anxiety)
