Ken Klippenstein managing to do more actual journalism with a Substack, a Signal account, and not much else than the entire staff of the NYT and WaPo put together is incredibly depressing

I was telling one of my kids that it was physically impossible for an ad to play between songs on any of the records I own, and they asked "and you only have to pay for it once?" and you could see how strange that seemed. You cannot overstate how many basic rules of media consumption have changed.

I have been looking at Shadowdark products lately, and a commonly recommended one is The Shucked Oyster. Don't buy, it's created by a couple of right wing weirdos. If you see anything made by Black Lodge Games, or come across their shitty Youtube channel, just avoid it.

For me it's Meatwad's inspirational speech. "It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside, whether you're white, black, or Sasquatch, even. As long as you follow your dream, no matter how crazy or against the law it is... except for Sasquatch. If you're Sasquatch, the rules are different."

Why were Toonami ad segments so good? www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLwF...

Ooooh that's some old anime

My resolution, and I think it’s doable, is to run so fast into a chain link fence that I come out as cubes.

this is a philosophically significant kick in the dick

Unironically, genuinely getting scared by how difficult it is to create a parody of capitalism that isn't immediately outclowned by actual capitalists.

kinda just feels like a good time to remind everyone that Kiwifarms is one of the most deeply sociopathic horrors the internet has ever spawned that mercilessly stalks and harrasses people (always in the worst faith you can imagine) you should never take a single piece of their "info" at their word

Getting and selling porn should be easy like buying anything in life is. We shouldn't be underground because that is what fascism wants. Stand up for porn now or lose most creators you love. Don't let us backslide!

Artist alleys at comic cons bum me out sometimes because I’ll see artists who’ve inspired me my whole life grinding away hour by hour when they should all be comfortable as hell and doing whatever they want, making whatever they want. I want that for everybody!

Anti-ICE poster spotted in Portland, Oregon

This really is a must read for anyone in academia.

It reminds me of this Grant Morrison post

If y'all are going to treat J.K. Rowling a certain way because of her fascism, do the same for Scott Cawthon.

Worth pointing out that Kickstarter United is NOT currently calling for a public boycott of Kickstarter's platform. The work strike encompasses 59 "community support specialists, trust and safety analysts, marketing professionals, software engineers, and other tech workers" under the old contract.

Pop culture reviews from the Space Ghost section of the old Cartoon Network website 33

Hanna Barbera animator Davis Doi once gifted Lupin III creator Kazuhiko Katō (aka Monkey Punch) this picture of Barney Rubble being startled by Lupin coming out of a Fred Flintstone costume.

30 million?? I thought they were meant to be SAVING money with AI bollocks?

Love really should incorporate more FGC references. Noncommutative partner? That's turtling.

Firing 9,000 employees while repeatedly raising the cost of a console that came out five years ago reveals a rot far deeper than the "macroeconomic realities (tariffs)" they get to prop the blame up on.

Pathfinder is on hiatus till next month, but we still gaming!

If our networks, corporations law firms, and universities keep rolling over and showing their bellies like this, we Americans better get used to hearing the phrase "Burger-eating surrender monkeys." Probably sounds really pretty in French.

If you are worried that the government is going to start lying to surveil, imprison and kill Americans on the left, I have good news for you. That will not be the case...because it happened decades ago. And never stopped. And is basically why the FBI exists in the first place. Thanks to the Cold War

Reminder to use Comic Fury or Tapas instead of Webtoons

A good way of thinking about this is that “tolerance” is just as exclusionary as any other vector of exclusion, it’s just operating on a different axis. instead of something like class or religion, it excludes based on whether you’re an asshole. Tolerance is *defined by* the exclusion of intolerance

These are terrifying times. Corporate media is caving utterly. Support non-profit media, public media, local media, and the last few old MSM companies with good owners. We tick at least two of those boxes and so if you value our reporting, you can give here secure.motherjones.com/flex/mj/key/...

Now this… this is a project! 🔥 (highly recommend expanding the full thread, the commitment is an inspiration)
