I just called my representative to demand more be done because The President of the United States is performing war crimes and making the world less safe. You should call yours. I luckily have a rep who has already publicly spoken out against what's happening, but it's still important to speak up.

We ran into Dan Marino and his family at Magic Kingdom. My mom genuinely said “we loved you in Ace Ventura”

La Commedia dell'errors #HOUvsLAC

What do I do with my hands and face?

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

I mean that’s an all-time probability chart. That’s why you use 99.9% (also rofl rams)

Can’t wait until I never to see him play another down in the NFL again. (Which now seems inevitably followed up by a stint on the Spotify podcast toxic masculinity grift train)

Just so I'm clear on this, computer memory has tripled in price because a bunch of it that hasn't been produced yet has been ordered to populate GPUs that aren't installed in data centers that aren't built yet in order to service a demand that doesn't exist to make profits that don't happen.

new Ben Starr meme just dropped

@valvesoftware.com so you’re cool with people on your platform saying it’s okay to just hate races, genders, etc. Your platform has been getting worse in recent years and I can’t muster excitement for the Steam Machine & locked into a ecosystem where hate-farming is endorsed and encouraged by you.

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam This is where we're at now.

Turns out a company ran by David Ellison doesn't understand that no means no

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

This Switch Marvel Cosmic Invasion thing is confusing/annoying. We still have a couple of original Switches and a Switch 2 on the tv but if I buy the 2 version I can’t loan it to the older consoles, I’d have to buy a second copy. Not sure it’s what dotemu planned but I’ll probably hold off for now.

Imagine, if you will, that NASA updated its website to suggest gravity might not exist, prompting CalTech and CERN to release statements saying, "With great sadness, we can no longer recommend listening to NASA." This is what's happening in epidemiology.

Cmon James Franklin 🤞 So excited and hopeful for the first time in a decade for relevant successful VT football!

The “Awkwafina as Yoshi” prediction/joke I made in the theater a couple of years ago may still come to fruition.

That should have been PI on Christian Kirk, not Jarrian Jones.

Yes, literally. His parents met while she was researching for the movie. They married and he was born a month after the film premiered. It was tied up with rights issues until recently, so now’s the time to finally check it out. It’s very good.

Trump was able to find $40 billion to bail out Argentina and $300 million for his new ballroom. Yet he can't find funds to prevent millions of Americans from losing access to healthcare or stop kids from going hungry. Cruelty is the point.

The @tolkoto.com century begins October 28, 2025

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Gotta love the refs can just decide “oh that’s enough contact to call this penalty” like their favoritism can’t be more apparent.

If you don’t like that you don’t like Trevor Lawrence football

Watching the Jaguars get a primetime game with actual consequences and just wanting to be presentable

Finally saw Elio. It had some amazing moments but overall I struggled to stay engaged with it. It’s like 3 different movies all competing for time. After it ended I said I’d rather just watch a movie about Glordon, the alien child of a warrior species who befriended Elio.

About this Florida vaccine story: When they were little - 1 yr and 3 1/2 - my two older boys, who’d had all their shots, got whooping cough. We asked their pediatrician what would’ve happened if they hadn’t been vaccinated. “Oh, they’d have died.”

This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.

When independent media outlets like VGC are finally killed off, YouTube videos like this, which (despite appreciated praise) read our feature out verbatim, AFTER TURNING ON AD BLOCK, and then don’t mention us AT ALL, won’t have any content left to source www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9wc...

I think everyone should be paying attention to what payment processors are doing to independent game developers right now. Games have been the testbed for a lot of the shittiest ideas going right now and you better believe this effort will broaden its goals quickly

the trump administration is counting on enough people not caring about Ayman soliman’s fate so they can deport him as soon as they can get away with. That is true for an exceedingly large number of people and families, but to make this very simple: It’s not an exaggeration to say his and others’…

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity. "What service is Microsoft providing?" Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

Haley MacLean won't be attending the MinnMax community meetup this Saturday because US Customs wouldn't let her into the country from Canada because she might appear in a video... Yes, we're also furious at the US government. Send some love to @haleyfax.bsky.social!

@grubb.wtf sent a super chat near end of GMM, but the campaign to call and complain to CCs over the Collective Shout stuff is impressive. People have made scripts on how to get past blockades by companies, to be polite to get to supervisors, and jam up the phone lines. Which costs them money.

ICYMI: We played Peak with EIGHT PLAYERS on Unprofessional Fridays! Mike committed a little murder. Just Friday things. 👉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=miFX...

DK Bananza is the most wonderfully depressing game. It’s clearly the work of lifelong game developers mentoring novices and it’s the kind of game we’d have a lot more of if game publishers actually let game development be a stable, life-long career for people.

It’s Christmas in July!

I know there’s a lot of awful people/in the world right now but whoever at AMC thought it was alright to put an insurance ad between two movies trailers before Superman is also be a terrible person. (That being said James Gunn made the best Superman movie to come out in my lifetime)

THE ROCKETEER PUNCHING THE SHIT OUT OF A NAZI AI

A global minimum tax on the ultrarich could change planetary politics. Right now South Africa, Chile, France, and Spain are pushing for it

Last five GOTYs: 2020: Hades 2021: Metroid Dread 2022: Vampire Survivors 2023: Tears of the Kingdom 2024: Helldivers II

Last night I got access to a digitized film reel from 1969 that shows off a computer artillery game called Potshot. And to explain why that’s a big deal, I need to talk about Dartmouth and the BASIC computer language.

Put Merch Master Mitch @tolkoto.com to work on his holiday off!
