Woke up to discover that Graham Linehan has cancelled his Netflix subscription because he found out we have a non-binary ROBOT in (the GLAAD-nominated) Transformers Earthspark. Women's sports AND Transformers? Who knew he had so many interests? How does he find the time?

This ostentatious Christian with the big cross around her neck is really saying that people who cannot prove their citizenship in an emergency room should be left on the sidewalk to die. And that's what she believes.

I remember theorizing that part of the reason fans were cooling off on superhero movies was because we're running out of the big classic "event" comics to adapt. Death of Gwen Stacy Infinity Gauntlet Infinite Crisis Dark Phoenix Civil War AvX is just next on the list, yeah?

A reminder that when Punisher resisted Ghost Rider's Penance Stare, it was meant to signify that Frank is a deeply disturbed individual who felt no guilt or remorse over the lives he'd violently ended. So OF COURSE comic fans misunderstood that as "FUCK YEAH, PUNISHER IS A BADASS!"

comic book authors: we invented the punisher as a cautionary tale about vigilante crime fighting the director of the fbi: at long last, we are implementing the ethos from the classic comic book the punisher

"If there's anybody that can solve this unforced error that President Trump single-handedly caused, it's President Trump."

just framing this as “asking us to ban a guy” is burying the lead a bit when it’s actually “this guy could be directly responsible for the government in their efforts to eradicate an entire population of americans”

Like I've said--weaponized nostalgia. "Life could go back to the way it was when we were kids if all THOSE people went away."

Sen. Coons: “You can only benefit from the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, and Medicaid if you have legal status in this country. We are not fighting for health care for people here illegally. That’s not true. We are fighting for health care for Americans.”

I would just remind folks that Elon Musk is neither a rocket scientist, nor an automotive engineer. Sam Altman is not a computer scientist. Elizabeth Holmes is not a doctor. David Shor is not a data scientist. And Ezra Klein is not a trained public policy analyst. So this absolutely tracks.

the mods of this place will strangle it to death trying to avoid it having the reputation it already has and unavoidably will always have

it’s really good when “technology of the future” treats you leaving as if you were leaving a cult

guys I know every one of you wants to act out this specific tweet to the letter but one of the non-negotiable things about being a catholic is that the pope is the real pope

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today. h/t @tisserand.bsky.social

The whole Jesse Signal thing here is classic children’s bully stuff. The bully bullies for a long long time. The victim asks for help from the people who have the power to help. Nothing. Bully continues to bully. If a victim fights back, they get scolded. Tale as old as time.

"What do you mean? He's a perfectly normal 15-year-old!"

yeah this is the other big factor, every single part of the sports watching and sports fandom experience has been taken over by this shit and it is deeply, deeply annoying

This probably sounds minor to many of you but closing the commissaries will....not be taken lightly by the US all-volunteer standing military. The PX is everything (literally, as it's not just groceries!)

all presidential administrations are partisan, but trump and the people in his white house are partisans bordering on sectarians, and one result is that they see nothing of actions that strain and weaken the union itself

Game companies when they realize they can jack up prices and product still does numbers:

Been talking about this trend for years when it comes to games spending. Why are there premium gamepads, $149 collector's editions, Pro consoles and general rising prices? Because the price-insensitive, affluent players are the ones doing more of the spending as everyone else shifts more to f2p.

"Thanks Obama!" became a running gag because of how Republicans blamed every little inconvenience on the guy. It got so ridiculous even Obama himself joked about it. Trump, meanwhile, wants to make it illegal to criticize him or his blatantly unconstitutional gutting of the government.

yeah I don’t think this is a design problem so much as a “the world actually is on fire, for real” problem everyone is stressed out and losing their minds all the time and while I’m not saying you can’t make some improvements I don’t think you can engineer your way around that

I’m just saying if I get Superman and Lex vs Brainiac and it has even half the energy of Goku and Frieza vs Jiren then I take back all the bad shit I said about the first movie

In order to buy ACA health insurance or apply for Medicaid or Medicare, you have to be DOCUMENTED. You have to have a Social Security number. Half the Congress is LYING to you, and trying to strip our health care away. Where's the outrage?!

You can’t make deals with cheaters. That’s the story.

Once again: Hegseth is the exact type of guy The Art of War was written for, which means he will never read it

People like to pretend advertising doesn't work. But a whole generation of conservatives are pining for a era the only existed in 1950s advertising.

Look, I have my criticisms of Obamacare. But you can't say this stuff for 10 years now and, whenever you're asked what your concrete alternative is, keep saying "oh, we'll announce that two weeks from now, and you'll really love it". Either you have a plan or you don't. (They don't).

I know somebody who still hasn't gotten over getting punked in high school when i see it.

The angrier you get, the richer they get.

Yes, the US government is now controlled by 4chan-addled middle aged men who post cringe memes.

I hope i'm important to the friends I hold so dear.

I'm still cooler than he is, big deal.

Far-right Catholics freaking out about the Pope doing normal Pope things will always be entertaining. The Pope blessed some water? Can you even imagine?

I think you're supposed to do that pose next to buttcracks at MTG tournaments, Rattrap.

The wild shit is that conservative men just do not like conservative women! If you gave them a choice between the pick-mes on that side of the aisle or the leftist with blue hair, they're going for that blue-haired woman 9 times outta 10 and will lie their ass off in order to get an in!

this woman has been working at Nintendo for almost 20 years and nearly a decade longer than the guy she is replacing how much more qualified does she have to be lol

you can’t change the mind of a man that refuses to think for himself
