Every time people give an example of how funny Trump supposedly is, I'm like "huh?" 9 times out of 10 it's just him being cruel, the other time it's this

Sony is opening up bold new ground in the video game market by releasing direct to lost media

i don’t like how online has made us replace “i didn’t enjoy x” with “x was bad”. i don’t like online vernacular.

“We owe it to the journalists and writers of Palestine to refuse complicity with the Times,” the statement concludes, “and to demand that the paper account for its failures such that it can never again manufacture consent for mass slaughter, torture, and displacement.” Solidarity. And fuck the NYT.

Any Dem that tries to run on less than show trials for everyone involved in this is getting included in the show trials

Looked away (from the road they were driving the big bus on; accelerating and laughing) as the bus ran us over

Y'all ever realize how the common element of dehumanizing, genocidal rhetoric against marginalized people all over the world unpersons them, takes away their humanity and make them "fit" for elimination amongst oppressors?

Agreed that not everyone who disagrees with me is filled with hate in their heart but the high cost of a college education sounds like a problem chasing trans kids out of public life isn't going to solve

I don’t know, maybe we should watch this happen to another 500 female led movies to be sure.

president's going to give a 2 hr speech in 107 degree heat you say

Crazy how this is the one of the coldest summers of the rest of our lives

this countrys fetish for punishing those we decide are unworthy of help at the expense of all of us is so completely bat shit

Suetonius, in 60 AD, upon learning of Boudica

this doesn't even have the full context which makes it funnier

i kinda love this answer, it’s very illuminating. it’s not about female athletes at all, it’s about the fragile egos of delusional psychopathic parents who want returns on their perceived investments

Please I'm begging you all, stop trying to frame Nintendo as the "good" video game company

It makes sense that the far right loves the idea that trans girls can overpower cis girls, because that naturally follows from the position that cis women are inherently weak. The fact that people nominally on the left adopt this position, and claim it to be feminist, is somewhat more puzzling

if you have your own physical media collection, you can do your own version of the Criterion Closet where you stand in your basement by yourself and saying "oh wow, In the Mood for Love, what a film" to absolutely no one

I do not understand why the default Democratic position on this issue isn’t simply to be opposed to mandatory genital exams for participants in girls sports. Because that intrusive practice is how GOP policy on transgender athletes will be enforced.

As the director of a historical video game preservation institution, and someone who has dedicated his entire adult life to this cause, this is accurate. We have attempted to work with the industry's trade organization to find a legal path forward, but they refuse to offer a meaningful alternative.

Well this isn’t a very big deal given how cheap digital storage is. Now to take a big sip of water and open Newegg

On July 1st 1960, Ghana became a republic with revolutionary pan-Africanist independence leader Kwame Nkrumah becoming President: ‘Africa is rich and not poor…it is Africans who are poor, not Africa. Our essential agricultural produce have all been drained away by colonialism and imperialism.

imagine doing something this cool just to fly a flag so sauceless

I do not understand the "fairness in sports" thing, in part because it isn't a thing, but also "fair to who" is always the question. People who are taller have an advantage in basketball. Does that mean we ban tall people? Why would THAT be fair?

Real talk I hope Vince Gilligan and David Duchovny know how many suicides they prevented with these two lines of dialogue

if you are uncomfortable with trans people in your spaces, you do *not* have a legitimate safety concern. you are transphobic, and using your personal discomfort to restrict the abilities of someone else, just because *you* aren't *personally* comfortable with it.

the user-was-blocked account isn’t as fun as it seemed at first, since the majority of the skeets I see are from Palestinian mutual aid accounts 🙁

For my @xtramagazine.com column for July, I wrote about what comes next after yesterday's SCOTUS ruling on trans athletes. (Hint: none of this was about sports or fairness) xtramagazine.com/power/politi...

First time watching Evangelion, is my egg radar supposed to be doing this whenever Shinji is on screen?

For Disability Pride Month, please consider changing your setting to remind you to use Alt text

even as a die-hard physical media guy, this is really how it should be some folks don't have the space for physical media but still want a large collection, and digital allows that (digital should also be across-the-board cheaper in addition to protecting your purchases)

i remember biden people sneering at the word greedflation and saying the problem is that americans just had too much money from covid checks and that wages were too high and unemployment too low and that interest rates needed to go up to fix inflation

I think the number one impediment to a comprehensive peace agreement snd regional stability is the country that is occupying three other countries and arbitrarily killing tens of thousands of people

this AM the last Prairieland 9 defendant Ines Soto was sentenced to 50 years — so he and his partner, Liz Soto, got effectively life sentences. they have 3 kids. those who took non-cooperating plea deals, Rowan Gibson and Rebecca Morgan, got 15 each. total time sentenced in this case: 530 years

as a video game archivist, all I can say is I'm looking forward to the PS6 being the first video game console were we've lost 100% of the games library!

They're personally attacking my wife again

You can’t own anything physical anymore, everything is digital, you can’t own anything digital now, storage is too expensive, you cant stream anything because they took it off the service once their parent company got bought out, you can’t get a McFlurry because the machine is broken

We had a really mean python at work and I gave him back to his owner and was like “he was trying to kill me” and his owner said “well, he only has so many ways to interact with the world. All he has is a face” and it Moved Me

Three months ago, the Illinois Bar Journal posted in their physical magazine a lengthy article which referred to trans women as "biological males," “transgender males," and "biological men," and posited that any accomplishment by a trans woman should come with an asterisk.

One thing you can see with the reaction to birthright citizenship decision is that Great Replacement Theory is now pretty much the center of the American Right's whole project.

This is bone-chilling. A conservative hedge fund manager wants to require little girls to pass genital inspections for their “safety.” And it’s only for girls’ sports. There’s a clear link between transphobia and child sexual abuse.

I feel like roughly 80% of the time I hear about something being done for “women’s safety,” it’s actually a conservative dog whistle for something that will put women in more danger.

really cool going from the 2010 World Cup, where Ghana’s little run seemed like a magical anomaly, to a bunch of African teams contending across the bracket and participating in the global pastime of causing fear and misery in England.

He could strangle a teenager on camera and they would say he “defied a long-held tradition of presidents not doing that”
