there are so many decades of internet steeped in this one post. a true onion of the internet

this looks so cool

bought the new scott pilgrim game on a whim because the first one is a bonafide classic. the second one feels...off

i had no idea one of the greatest horror games ever was getting remade, and then it just shows up at my doorstep like this?

what's interesting is that my kid is obsessed with a PBS Kids show about this exact topic, and Al Roker is the meteorologist in the cartoon.

we went from no M's to too many M's

I was digitizing my anime collection and would stumble on random discs from shows. Imagine buying a brand new show, getting 2 episodes and forgetting it ever existed. Haibanei Renmai is one. picked it up because it was from Lain creator. never seen it all, have no clue what it's about

did Cards Against Humanity always own Clickhole?

AI slop is everywhere on Amazon, but especially in children's books. I was looking for something else when this popped up in the sponsored books. 1/

horripilant is already my game of the year

As early as 1931, while still in Germany, Albert Einstein spoke against American racism. "It must be pointed out … that the exclusion of the colored population from active civil rights by the common practices is a slap in the face of the Constitution of the nation." - Albert Einstein, 1946 #History

still can't stop thinking about that tingus goose

this story had the stink of the tarbutton family name on it. just a miserable, awful family that continues to prioritize wealth above all else. both sparta and sandersville have been choked to death by this family.

the internet is still a place for good. removing yourself from the algorithms is the answer. i always think back on music discovery, especially in the early 00's. mp3.com will always be the how i tell people about music on the internet. if you know how it worked in like 2000 and 2001 then you know.

this is beautiful. and is this a promo for sting? gary larson? Waldenbooks?

i bought the freak show goose game on steam, and wow. master tingus creates some adorably heinous art. it is so disturbing and yet soothing? the dissonance of the experience is what's most troubling.

"There is, perhaps, no better example of the stakes of “keeping cool” than the case of Nat King Cole, who...was a most visible avatar of “Black” Cool and respectability. Cole’s death at age 45 in 1965, is biggest cautionary tale for the cost of his public unflappability."

layoffs are so cruel. we all know this so well, but still.

GM: Charisma check. Mamdani: [rolls natural 20] GM: that’s a d6 how did you Mamdani: [direct to camera] Did you know you can check out board games at your local public library? 😊

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

A lot of our political discourse would be easier if we didn't extend good faith to people who would never extend it back.

never thought a Georgia rep would say this, but hell yeah

if it was 1998 we'd have a flash game where elon musk is wearing his children as body armor and they flash every time they take damage until they fall off

the case files of young kindaichi is not a show you're supposed to watch at any regular pace, except 1 a week i guess. but i also cannot stop watching it? there's a really fun and frustrating level of nostalgia at play. is it good? sort of. but the predictability of the cases grows each story

that new game of thrones show looks so silly to me that i keep mistaking it for that dailywire fantasy show

The violent occupation of Minneapolis started with a vlog. I've wanted to find a framework to describe Nick Shirley & others like him: "Influencer" is too quaint. "Journalist" is obviously wrong. I landed on "slopagandist." Gift link (open in a web browser) www.theverge.com/news/869824/...

i love this game so much, and it was definitely not a game 10-year-old me should've been playing. but it was the 90s. you think parents knew what video games even were? hardly

this show really pulled at the heart strings. definitely one of THE dramas that comes to mind when i think of j-dramas. and tokyo tower. don't get me started on that one. 😭 densha also has one of the greatest endings for any show from Japan. sambomaster is such a fun band

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment. Excellent article!

it's a shame watching the funding cuts at PBS already impacting what they can and can't do. i swore by the PBS KIDs games and video apps, but now their functionality is being stripped away because of licensing rights.

so many great episodes and THEN to also bring in a feature film that lives and thrives in its own space. a real turning point for american animation

I love and hate these kinds of races. Burnout 3's final race (I think) was this F1 time trial that required 100% nitro uptime the entire race. Any mistake and it was over. Had to restart. It was the only challenge in the game I had left. Never played another racing game since with that kind speed.

Sometimes it's tough to remember this when your own father tells stories of being deployed as the National Guard to stop civil rights protests in Georgia while in the same breath saying how scared he was and how much he hated those protesting.

I scoured the Internet for this opening way back when and just watched it endlessly on the family computer

as a millennial, I'm still dreaming of keeping a job longer than a couple of years without getting laid off

Thinking of a few Malcolm x speeches as they tell people getting kidnapped in the streets by masked thugs to ‘remain calm’

my old newsroom would've never committed to this wonderful bit

ohhhhh "new" manga from one of the greatest. sign me up!!! www.abramsbooks.com/product/bill...

i'm definitely not gen z, but i examined my relationship with alcohol, my family's relationship with alcohol, the notion that alcohol abuse might be generational really stuck with me. alcohol abuse drove a giant wedge in my family, and i'd rather avoid that happening to myself by any means

One of the best things of working in local news in Macon, GA was having an elected official constantly refer to Erick Erickson as "EriKKK EriKKKson"

i dunno how i feel about it taking nearly 40 years for a second season of ronin warriors. it's hardly interesting in the current shonen junk landspace

Hearing songs while out and about that jog my memory of their literal music video counterparts is always such a trip.

i would happily drive this lil guy everywhere and anywhere

house to myself, putting in records and taking down christmas decorations. not a bad day

i don't remember this from my hike. i just remember a torii at the top and a weather monitoring station(?) across the summit. not these buildings in the photo. maybe things have changed in the nearly 20 years since i made the climb

how many times can different industries "pivot to video"

I've only just started the Colour of Magic, but it really sticks with you. I am in love with the characters. And the language takes some getting used to for me at least. Definitely never read prose quite like this before.

There’s been a turn in a lot of left/liberal moral thought over the past decade away from individual culpability and toward analyses of structural forces that generate bad behavior. But I’m increasingly convinced that those structural forces can’t be confronted while individuals enjoy impunity.
