my state House rep sent out a mailer that says "on your behalf, I have--" and then lists off a bunch of wretched and vile shit that makes me want to move to Amsterdam or something

shoutout to my framed picture of Starscream that's been sitting in our house unquestioned by anyone for months

In case you missed it earlier, I've written a Blog about "Evil Game Design" and what it might mean. Here's an excerpt, that I personally quite like:

The Santa Clause is the most SINISTER Christmas classic. So we did a vid talking about it! Check it out on Patreon Early Access! www.patreon.com/cw/movienights

It's so insulting to have the leader of your country tell you that actually you're wrong, everything IS affordable and you're doing economically fine. The worst part is whatever remains of hardcore MAGA devotees will happily delude themselves and pretend everything isn't more expensive.

The Hottest New Fashions of Winter 2025: Burlap

Explaining to my Canadian wife that Americans celebrate Thanksgiving on Thursdays because Thanksgiving is the Thursday of holidays

Hey, buddy...want some almond fish? When it comes to snacking in Japan, there's so much more than just Pocky. Here's a rundown of some of Japan's most beloved treats. How many of these have YOU tried?

I think what also leaps out at me here is that this is her brain without the think tanks. the reason she didn't say this on the trail is because she was deliberately making concessions to transphobes, which everyone noticed

“Fear not, Ranger, Barbarian, Magician, Thief, Cavalier and Acrobat!” I like how this 1984 VHS release describes it as a Marvel 'Video Comic'. How delightfully zeerusty, to use a TVtrope.

It’s getting harder not to say out loud “get a smaller car” every time I see a giant F-U-50 that doesn’t fit in a parking lot or needs to block the road so they can get the doors open. You chose to make life difficult for both of us so you could pretend you work on a farm.

This is, I regret to say, one of the only ways to get Lithuania to do it.

so if i understand this correctly, gaines has made her career by publicly calling trans athletes predators and threats to women while completely failing to ever mention even once that her mentor/college swimming coach was sexually assaulting and harassing women on the team while she was there?

“You talk a lot about sucking dick for someone who’s a dominant“ first of all I’m a switch, second of all if you think there’s no way someone can suck dick in a dominant way you need to spend more time with me, the domme who sucks dick.

upsetting everyone at the function by calling rocky horror "boomer era baby queer media that's more about straight people than it is about the lives of queer people"

I have lived through the entire rise and fall of search engines

This is amazing. A Gmail-like interface for searching the Epstein emails released by Congress. jmail.world

"Wow, so many good deals right now!" and then I remember that when I rarely pick up my Switch Lite I have to wipe the dust off of it, I play a few Picross puzzles, and then I put it back down for a few more months.

whoever invented the word spelunking was a dirty nasty pervert

Yelling endlessly about how it's everyone else's fault for not voting Democrat in 2024 is, again, I'm not kidding, a surefire strategy to ensure you never ever win another election for the rest of this country's existence. Throwing a tantrum about the trends of millions of people does nothing.

look at this leaf 😃🍁

important post because it shows us that the American ability to retcon how not awful a past leader was is far from being a Trump phenomenon

This is less 2008 and more Enron.

There's something unprecedented now in the subs vs dubs debate in that subs aren't being paid for & dub VAs barely get paid. The sustainability of anime in the west is questionable on both sides. I remember being on a fansub team was a prestige back in the Tokyotosho days of subbing.

Voted for fascist enablers.

Good LORD WHAT WAS HAPPENING THERE.

10 years of living in the West made me reach this point in approximately 2016 haha

Transformers Season 3 is a goddamn fever dream, last episode was about a planet of fantasy Renaissance aliens who sing every line of dialogue really badly, the episode right after is about a fascist takeover of a planet full of centrist liberals

okay I'm only mildly annoyed that when I tried to take the clip off of the Rotring pencil it immediately snapped apart. It was scratching my hand while using it anyways so I probably would've just kept it in the box and never used it

smokin on that purple power ranger pack. the diesel that morphed the animals into interstellar child soldiers. the mother plant is the real legend of the hidden temple. one hit of this and just like summer sanders, you'll figure it out. the shit that gave otto AND regina rocket power.

the Kuru Toga is a mechanical pencil that rotates the lead bit by bit each time you lift the pencil from the paper, so you never get a flat tip when writing. Which is the most Japanese engineering I've ever heard of.

TODAY'S A GOOD DAY BOYS

depriving children of medications that could save them from suicide is fucking wrong and i don't care if you're squeemish about "meth" or transitional hormones

anyway this is the root reason why i care so much about hormone access. hormones did not help me but i know what it's like to be on a medication that draws controversy because it works too well to make many people on it happy when our misery is a load bearing pillar of our fucking kleptocracy

i am in my late 30s and am only unraveling the trauma of being unmedicated for adhd from when i first needed it now. i could very easily have killed myself in those unmedicated decades. my life before medication was defined by the trauma of not being able to do what i can on stimulants

Iowa City made buses free in August 2023 with a goal of lowering emissions and encouraging people to take public transit. Now ridership is up, traffic is down, and the program is extremely popular. So popular that the City Council has voted to extend it for another year.

Any news distortion claim against an NPR/PBS station would require the FCC to prove that the station's management was directly involved in knowingly distorting the news. Here, if there was any distortion, it was done by the BBC, not US stations. Carrying, or quoting from, a BBC program isn't enough

Each year, this is the definitive "read this before you go to Pax U" article for me

go to bed grandpa, put down the phone
