never, ever, ever, ever accept "how will you pay for it?" as an argument against social programs.

I’ve never had a DS Lite, but a few months ago I was going through some of my gaming handhelds and I pulled out my original model DS that I’ve had since Christmas of 2004. It had probably been a few years since I had played it. It still had a charge. 💚

Pokemon Winds and Waves Starters 🌴🌊✨

Pokémon Winds/Waves is looking really cool. The sense of scale and exploration looks really exciting. I think the starters are all pretty cool looking, and not too over-designed. The first thing I noticed is though, is that Browt looks like Bert’s nephew Brad.

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

The DCEU Shazam movies should have starred Sinbad instead of that one guy who turned out to be a dickwad.

PSA for Discord's new age verification! If you get hit by it and refuse to give them any ID or face scans as you should, here's a way to just... bypass it. Go to Settings - Family Centre and then just enter a date of birth that's 18+ It's really that simple. Give them nothing.

So if Trump is just going to ignore the SCOTUS ruling, Democrats must commit to shutting down the government until he is removed. At that point we have no laws. It’s just a dictatorship.

GOATS!! 🐐

Nick Fury voice: I'm building a team

James Van Der Beek died. Damn. He was less than 10 years older than me. He’ll always be one of my favorite examples of an actor playing a parody version of themself as a regular character on a cult classic TV show. If you haven’t seen “Don’t Trust the B—— in Apartment 23”, I highly recommend it.

International Cat Day!

When Akira Toriyama died, the entire internet was in mourning. When J.K. Rowling finally croaks, there's gonna be a line wrapping around the cemetery to piss on her grave.

The Muppet Show just had a back door pilot and could lead to a new show, and the actor who played Sega Sanshiro is still with us. This is technically less of a long shot than it’s ever been.

If I was a billionaire I would not take trips to Crime Island. I would own The Simpsons arcade machine

Part 2!

The world is a crappy place in many ways right now, but there are some bright spots. I hope this time lapse of my bestie @winkware.bsky.social’s art process sparks some joy for you today. ❤️ I sure does for me.

you cannot fucking reform ICE and DHS burn it all to the fucking ground

I love it, flaws and all. For a long period of my life, almost nobody I knew had *anything* positive to say about the prequels, and since then the fandom as a whole has pulled a complete 180 and largely reveres them now. Mark my words, this will inevitably happen with the sequel trilogy too.

Science is on the cusp of saving so many lives but the richest country in the history of the world is like “nah…take supplements”

Society needs to bring back that Pee-wee's Playhouse aesthetic. People don't go out anymore? Give them a reason to visit places. Make them look cool.

I LOVE how over the top the UI is for Phantasy Star 4's vehicle battles holy shit

You love to see it. cybernews.com/security/dev...

It's wild that Nintendo has earned the "expensive company" title because of Mario Kart World being $80 when every company charges a lot of money for everything. But, from now on there will ALWAYS be a comment about Nintendo "charging too much" for *insert thing*. It's funny how that works.

It's The Muppet Show with our very special guest star Waluigi!

one of the weirdest things about the current moment is how the national media have to pretend like they don't know what this is about. official government social media accounts are posting about racially cleansing America and they have to pretend like it's not clear who the bad guy is.

Unpaywalled btw, please share widely. Keep yourself and your communities safe.

This should honestly be a legal requirement for discontinued products.

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

@wilsonforseattle.bsky.social I know there’s a lot of work to be done that’s a lot more pressing and important, but this is a legitimately great idea. Maybe keep this in mind if later?

We shouldn’t be using real chimpanzees as animal actors in entertainment. It’s cruel and unsafe. That big toothy “grin” you see them make in a lot their appearances in shows and movies is actually an involuntary fear grimace. They literally cannot make that face unless they are afraid.

THE THING HAPPENED

Christmas NiGHTS into Dreams (Saturn) (1996) 1/4

I’m not taking any chances… ❤️

muppet christmas carol (happy holidays!)

you already know what's up (steam sale rec thread is what's up) as always, i focus primarily on older, obscure, and just plain weird games, as big name titles don't need the help. so, onwards!

From this point on, I'm forced to assume that every elected politician who does not immediately call for Trump's impeachment is in the Epstein files. Sorry. Just cutting the Gordian knot here, as one does during societal collapse.
