once a friend sent an ig post of a cute dog that had the caption “Daddy and I went on a walk today“ and I didn’t know it was one of those accounts so I thought the dog’s name was Daddy

what I genuinely liked about Civil War is, yeah of course it was all built around watching superheroes fight each other, but they did a great job (imo) of building the stakes and making it feel meaningful by the end. I also loved that it wasn't really resolved.

I sincerely wanna know what the hell kind of statistics these fuckwits are pulling from cause most of the time when they pull out some “fact” like this it’s based on some misinterpretation of some study somewhere but this sounds made up as fuck

The only team to give Spain any problem this whole tournament was Cape Verde

I think I lost a friendship with a Jewish friend cause I posted pro-Palestinian stuff to instagram and that makes me so sad

”””historically accurate””” The Odyssey bringing back fond memories

lmao neither of these teams give a shit about this game

on top of everything else, love the line about "tariffs Canda is currently paying", once again indicating that the president of the united states thinks other countries pay our tariffs

Also residualssssss

look, if the game industry wants to go the route where they just contract a team for the length of a game's development, fine. I don't think that's the smart way to build a studio, but fine. we need unions and union-provided healthcare badly, but fine. just stop pretending you're hiring full-time

come the fuck on

of course I can't stop thinking about this in the context of AI. it makes total sense that AI has become so deeply embedded in the world of programming. if a thing is more efficient, if it's faster, if it's "better", it has to be used. there are no brakes on that sort of thing in nerd-dom

holy shit

been wanting to put together an alt-themed secret hitler game for a while cause I don't really wanna play a game that uses the word "fascist" so much, but I haven't quite found the ideal candidate. there's an Among Us themed one which I think is a perfect idea, I just wish it looked a lil nicer :\

Dan, Jan, Mike, and Grubb have been playing Heave Ho 2! ...It's been going about as well as you'd expect!

every air show is just this

gonna start talking like this to my boss

I’m not a big Tolkien guy but, if you’re really desperate to keep making new shows and movies about middle earth, can’t you go with something that hasn’t been done to death already? like make a movie about Far Harad or something

it’s ironic that growing up going to zoos is one of the best ways to build a connection and empathy towards animals, and that growing up with a connection and empathy towards animals is one of the best ways to conclude that zoos are evil

I want the minority report tech but specifically for them to predict if I'm about to see a depiction of kids in danger so Tom Cruise can bust down the door and tackle me before I see it

notes from today's d&d session

cabo verde held both world cup finalists to a draw across 90 minutes and almost took argentina to penalties, easily the best performance anyone has put up against either team all world cup

the number of games where the Argentine announcer on Telemundo has screamed himself hoarse when Argentina scores

I hope Argentina loses and Harry Kane falls on his butt

randomly remembering, for no particular reason, the time Top Gear went to Argentina and had to cut production short cause an absolute parade of people were throwing rocks at them lmao

it's not a gap in logic at all. they want cis men to be more manly and they want cis women to be more womanly, and anybody who wants to go in the other direction deserves death. there's no hypocrisy or inconsistency here. just evil.

What it's like to watch the World Cup from Gaza: defector.com/what-its-lik...

I just...I think we need a factory reset on men. I'll go down with the ship it's fine

the number of stories I've heard about game studios that justify this way of working by saying they pull it off at the last minute with "[name of studio] magic"

I love getting up while it’s still dark and I hate when it’s already night when I finish work so I’m 1000% behind this

I‘m so mad rn

Someone on LatAm TikTok commented that if the final ends up being Spain v Argentina they're rooting for the grass.

can someone give me a good reason to root for any of the remaining teams

[MINOR GAME CHANGER SPOILERS] a few minutes into the new episode I was ready to say that this show has gotten over-complicated. by the end I'm ready to call it one of the best episodes ever

the decimal module in python kinda rules tbh

Epstein survivors released this video today urging senators to block the confirmation of Todd Blanche for Attorney General. They’re trying to get to 20,000 signatures on their petition to send a message to the Senate. ujoin.co/campaigns/45...

I think to put a slightly finer point on ai in software, we can keep it out of other fields but wrt to software we now have a *deprogramming* battle to fight, and we can't do that by will alone.

I don't believe in hell. but. when I see men like this who just continually get richer and more powerful while doing shit like this until the end of their life...........I get the appeal

I'm so tired of how thinly veiled everything in politics is now. just stand up in front of congress and say "I don't give a shit what any of you think, I'm going to continue this war with or without you and you all are going to let me". just say what's actually happening.

where my community managers who would be willing to chat with me for a story at? 👀

"Your horror has been stolen from you" really defines the conditions we're in

I'm tired of stock chart screenshots. you can make anything look bad with the right framing, and nobody ever follows up their screenshot of a terrible nosedive with the stock bouncing back a week or two later. it's all vibes and chaos.

hey btw people are free to make whatever art they want but I do wish I could search for "big bird" on this website without being absolutely inundated with the porniest porn

watching this on infinite loop

It boggles my mind, that media presents Trump as a real serious official, political scientists discuss his decisions, pundits talk about his policies. Meanwhile he loudly declared to the world he made an amazing discovery that "dumb" has a "b" in it.

I don't know much about soccer but I've been annoyed at Harry Kane ever since that one game where he missed a penalty kick and then complained to teacher that someone had their foot in the wrong place and he should get to redo it
