Untranslated headlines in German are much clearer than New York Times headlines in English

This is incredibly helpful, because so many people (myself included) have no idea how the finesse of Judicial Procedure works. The absolute worst thing we could do is to give up in advance.

It's Trans Day of Visibility and I wrote about how visibility without protection is a trap, and it often seems like the loudest calls for us to be visible are coming from those who have done nothing to protect us. www.coyotemedia.org/im-supposed-...

An obscure functionality of Donkey Kong Country Returns is that if Donkey Kong spends 3 full attack cycles of a boss not damaging it, Professor Chops will pop up telling him what to do, e.g. "BOP NOW!" In the Mole Miner Max battle, the tip is particularly condescending, being simply "TRY HARDER".

This image will never not make me laugh, no matter how bleak shit becomes. (And yes, I am a beacon of Purity and Morality, thank you for noticing.)

whenever folks talk about harry potter and separating artist from art they always have this indignant 'OH SO IM A BAD FOR BUYING THESE BOOKS?' but thats not the real issue. the reality is that many will BELIEVE you are bad, and that is VALID. its not your choice what others think of you

Pope Leo is the first Pope to have ever experienced the US healthcare system, so there's that

When I say I love the art of non-artists, they look at me like "you mean you think it's FUNNY." and I'm not denying that a lot of it IS funny but I genuinely love to see the decisions that people make who are not part of the art world, who don't have all our hang-ups. It leads to unique choices!!

On Pokopia’s launch day I lucked into riding this particular subway line in Tokyo

The perfect headline doesn’t exi…

If trans people want/need to leave, that is worthy. It’s also worthy to stay and fight, or to need to stay and still need rights. Queer folks in red states need and deserve our support at least as much as the work being done from “safer” states

the problem is bigotry, but the tool they're using to spread it is *the concept of pornography*. as long as we accept the idea that "pornography" is 1. meaningfully distinct from other forms of art, and 2. inherently bad or shameful it will continue to be a weapon conservatives can use against us!

“Great Man” theories of history may have been wrong but “That F*ing Guy” theory looks increasingly plausible.

Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.

BREAKING: “in my 24th year of my quest to settle the planet Mars, I have just been informed of a basic fact of celestial mechanics.”

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens

So an odd thing here is that if you say "an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume" your point is to communicate "it is not really Batman" but the problem is that the real Batman, within the fiction of the comic book "Batman", is also, literally, an unidentified man dressed in a Batman costume

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

The randomized sounds are the best thing in the world I love it so much #zelda #zootr

My original facebook post:

In difficult times, more than ever, you need to have a battle cry of faith. Create a sound of victory. “Yes, this problem is big, but I know my dick is bigger.”

Everyone has a part to play. Even—especially—the person who moderates the subreddit for videos of people patting their cat on the butt really rapidly.

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

I know my diet probably isn’t super ideal because I’ll go grocery shopping the day before a giant winter storm and NOTHING I need is out of stock

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

completely unironically, this is how we'll know

I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

I’ll never get tired of this ad at our local indie theater 😂

Using a combination of glitches in Super Mario World, Yoshi can be taken into the final battle, where he can eat Peach upon Bowser's defeat. With Peach gone, the ending will not play, and Mario and Yoshi will simply stare at each other forever.

Genuinely and sincerely-- if you are going through the worst of it, any reason is a good reason. Live for season 3, live for the release of the game they've been teasing. You can fnd a "better" reason later, when things are less dire. So, yes, if it works for you-- Live to Exist out of Spite.

It's totally understandable if you're dooming about any facet of the American experiment right now. So your feelings are "valid" in the sense that they represent real anxiety, and I get that. But to vent that anxiety in other people's spaces is wrong for three reasons.

one of the things i hate most about this persistent line of argument is the implication that any of these actions would be fine if groceries were cheaper

would be really cool if new film 28 DAYS LATER: THE BONE TEMPLE had a winking emoji at the end as official part of the title

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

One of the weirdest things about graveyard shift is getting a lot of your historical news early and some of it very late. I watched the 2000 election count unfold and saw an exhausted Dan Rather announce live that Gore withdrew his concession. Then I woke up at 3pm on 9/11.

who gives a shit about power levers. if you don't even attempt to start the process of impeachment, the fuck is the point of anything. "step on me daddy. please rig the next election, daddy" bsky.app/profile/squo...

One day in 8th grade, all of our teachers suddenly became noticeably stressed and distracted, and kept huddling in the teacher's lounges instead of monitoring the hallways. Something big had happened, but they insisted that nothing was wrong. "I want to know what is happening," said my classmates.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was present at the end of the universe, having witnessed every black hole evaporate and every proton decay. Even so, Death would not come.

Jesus, can you hear me? Good, the comms are working. Now, you're gonna need to run if you want to evade those Roman soldiers. Hold down A to sprint. Go ahead and try it. ... Good work! You just might be the savior yet. Now pick up that AR-15 and let's do some target practice.

i resent the ruling class so much. you guys made me care about Jimmy Kimmel, The Kennedy Center, and now 60 Minutes

Hey guy, telling your computer to tell my computer to tell me to touch more grass probably isn’t the W you were hoping for

we can kill them all if we just work together and ✨believe💫

I sincerely want Donkey Kong Bonanza to win Game of the Year tonight, solely because it is the easiest way to irritate the largest swath of toxic gamers.
