Not commenting on the bears, just wanna say this is one of the greatest bits in TV history

They were freaks making Dragon Quest 2 HD

Joe judge jump scare

"This is why I always thought the mockery and criticism of BlueSky or the No Kings Protests were wrongheaded at best and could be actually harmful. Whatever else you may say about them, they are other spaces, not dominated by the lies of the regime and its supporters." - Ganz

The most antisocial animating force in American politics - whether you’re being shot in the face by a republican or yelled at online by a liberal - is crybullying. Just an unbelievably excruciating nation of crybullies yearning for victimhood

i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

Ever stress-bought stuff online while feeling distressed about the state of the world? Harness that by buying stuff off the @newap-georgia.bsky.social Amazon wishlist if you have some extra cash right now to help refugees with diapers and hygiene items and so forth www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

hey @schumer.senate.gov you should be doing things like this, even if Noem doesn't get impeached! Just do things!

Everyone is being driven crazy but you aren’t crazy, are you?

Fuck ICE.

this guy rules

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

DHS now confirming in a. statement that an ICE officer did shoot and kill someone at the site of a raid.

Not everyone loved it at the time but ending of The Sopranos is narratively perfect

one takeaway from the grok noncon porn thing is that much of the media just isn't interested in an issue they can't pretend has two sides or that doesn't give them an opportunity to shit on the left. Also it would be uncomfortable to justify remaining on twitter after acknowledging it

honestly this demo could be make-or-break

I was gonna comment with the Dragon Quest slimes but apparently EVERYONE already did this

Are we supposed to call our reps and tell them we don’t like when the president engages in overt war crimes, or can we trust them to get there on their own?

I wonder what it would be like to live in a country that had a functional democracy

People like to say it’s been 2016 for ten years but it’s also been 2003 for 23 years

What the fuck, man

War is stupid, remember this

"orange man bad" remains the most successfully predictive political analysis of our era

one last time, for the road

Ok quick rundown on favorite Things of 2025: game: DK Bananza book: Expensive Basketball by @sheaserrano.bsky.social movie: Sinners new TV show: Pluribus/Long Story Short (tie) new season of old(?) TV show: Andor season 2

One of my least favorite kinds of posts is “can we all admit now that [whatever old thing] is actually bad now?” Just say you don’t like it, don’t rope me into this

now THIS is a legacy to leave behind

I also regret to inform everyone that Kevin O'Leary's performance in Marty Supreme is very good

Ok so they got nothin

what if everyone preloads their copy of gta 6 its the most hyped up release in video game history one million gigs on the hard drive then they press play at midnight and its soul calibur 2

How I’m walking out of 2025

Our own @davidsilbert.bsky.social played a lot of #videogames in 2025 - 31 to be exact - but only one can earn the highest honor. Here's everything he played from worst to best - capped off by his #GameoftheYear. #GOTY #GOTY2025 punishedbacklog.com/every-game-d...

My favorite booklet art ever. Link is just vibing here

Young Zelda & Link Art - The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D

I’ve reached a point where a brand new mainline Dragon Quest would excite me as much as a new 3D Zelda or Mario, wild considering I’d never touched a game in this series until like 5 years ago

Man, Dragon Quest II HD-2D remake absolutely rules

Lotta good commentary here, and perfectly explains why sometimes I absolutely fall in love with something but have a hard time recommending it to most people

Gaming can be about so many things. For our phenomenal new writer Scarlet Hardy, it’s first and foremost about hunting for achievements. On this Boxing Day, check out her favorite games of 2025 for achievement hunting: punishedbacklog.com/2025-achieve...

christmas on bluesky

The greatest Christmas miracle of all is that Tyler Kolek might be good

Now Watching: A Christmas Carol

I like being an uncle for the holidays because: Mom and dad are responsible, and will discipline you. Grandpa and Grandma are indulgent, and will coddle you. But the uncle... the uncle is unpredictable. The niece and nephew cannot know what the uncle will do, because the soul of the uncle is CHAOS

What a button prompt.

Goddamn, RIP
