DEATH TO CRONOS

I think it's fine to say "I don't personally like to see sexual content in art and wish it would be easier to avoid" The take I can't agree with and have seen too many times (and I think is the one most people are responding to) is the whole "art never needs to have sexual content" thing.

Thiiiiiiiiis. Stop trying to litigate an audience's boundaries because they don't validate your preferences you weird weird people

“Charleston had no interest in governing Boston.” Tell me you’ve never heard of the Fugitive Slave Act without telling me you’ve never heard of the Fugitive Slave Act. hardghistory.ghost.io/one-neat-tri...

"I will not give them what they want. I will not just leave. I’m going to make it as difficult as possible for these fuckheads.” This is WIRED's oral history of DOGE:

Today's intrusive thought, for some reason: Ray Parker Jr doing the title song for Coppola's classic by just going "GOD-FATHER" to the Ghostbusters theme.

Still can't believe this is real.

is this the boomer myth that they were all the victim of a cultural shift so significant they can't actually be responsible for anything they said or did last century

FUN FACT: My wife contracted covid at the hospital then passed it to me.

Or, to call it by its other name, Chick-fil-A.

As a Concord resident who commutes to Charlotte 3 days a week, let me be clear that I saw more ridiculous traffic at the American Vacuum Society International Symposium & Expo at the convention center today than anywhere near Vance's glorified layover.

Another desperate attempt by people who can’t stand the idea of New Yorkers electing their mayor instead of billionaires buying one.

Every ten years, Warner Bros. merges with a company like Uncle Steve's Discount Vacuum Cleaners for a trillion dollars, and the immediate result is that they lose a trillion dollars and stop doing anything they were doing that was popular

Please don't call it that

1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it). But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

City Hunter revival announced for PS5, Switch 2, Switch, and PC Publishers and developer SUNSOFT, publisher Clouded Leopard Entertainment, and developer Red Art Studios have announced City Hunter, a revival of the 1990-released PC Engine side-scrolling action game. It will launch for PlayStation…

LET'S GOOO

Mass deportations don’t open up more jobs for U.S.-born workers — they cause American workers to lose jobs, wages to go down, and our economy to slow. Watch Robert Lynch, an economics professor at Washington College, discuss how immigrants are good for the American economy.

Pokemon Company, please sue the US government. I promise I won’t complain if the next mainline game bugs out and sends sheep careening skyward (again). I beg you. Do something cool.

I don't know if people are aware of what a smash hit BLACK CAT #1 was...I am not seeing as much noise about it as I should, but it was Marvel's TOP-SELLING book for the month and everyone who read it loves it. CONGRATULATIONS, @gwillow.me, you are AMAZING as always! PS, don't forget to get one!

It's a national holiday, STREET SHARKS DAY!!!!

Maybe the Fox bobbleheads should shut it and check the numbers. Kimmel pulled 15 million viewers last night. Those are not “low ratings,” that’s a beatdown.

Respectfully, however well-intentioned, there's a point where this just becomes isolationism in a passive-aggressive tone. If anything, our size and impact alone OBLIGES us to become and remain globally engaged. For us to not be will only create more problems.

Today would have been Jim Henson’s 89th birthday. Through Henson’s creativity and kindness, I found my own purpose: to celebrate sincerity, attract weirdos, and give my chosen family a safe space to be themselves. Happy Birthday, Jim. Thank you for teaching us to be Muppets. 💚🐸 🧵1/3

While we're still in the month of Undertale's 10th anniversary, I want to share a thread of some fanart I've made for the game over the years, in no particular order First, a poster I drew years ago that I'm still proud of. (9/14/2016, modified the logo today so it wasn't a copy+paste) 🧵 ✍️

It’s that time of year again.

He'd just come from standing right next to this guy, to be fair:

Kristi Noem says ICE is facing “unprecedented violence.” Leaving aside how it is the right that is committing the most violence, let’s be clear, the Dallas shooter was a white male sniper who shot multiple detainees, not ICE agents. The victims were in ICE custody. Stop twisting the narrative.

There is actually a weirdly uncanny link between the (unrelated) cancelled project I've been researching and the Wolverine game, as people will soon see.

And now we’re live! Jump in the chat for some questions & a bit of video games!

Yes, folks, you read that correctly. This upcoming November 19th update to Ace Attorney Trilogy is adding a scene maker feature.

When do they start writing “acid is groovy” on the bullets?

It's always frustrating to me that Valve left its curator system to be run into the ground by scammers and worse, because it's honestly a great feature, and a very powerful tool for you to tune to your liking the kinds of recommendations you see on your Steam homepage.

this movie was not as good as the first, and took a different approach to this character than the book (which holds up great, unrelated to the films is still well worth reading!), but genAI is literally Princess Xayide flattering and granting wishes in exchange for erasing/stealing people's memories

AI use, especially the way of using it they market it as suitable for, isn't learning, it's avoiding learning. it's fostering dependence, while flattering the user telling them they're a coder/writer/artist/lawyer now it is the opposite of learning. for people who had real skills, it's _unlearning_

Trump take egg

Pleased to report the Final Fantasy Tactics remaster is excellent. Sucks to lose all the extra content from the PSP/iOS version, but the quality-of-life improvements (fast forward! optional random encounters! no more getting softlocked at Wiegraf!) make up for that. And the voice acting is stellar

I don't think people were expected to mourn for this long for the goddamn queen, it's been absolutely insane

Saying “Big Stretch” while stretching increases the bigness of the stretch by 43%

shared at my secret club a couple of weeks ago: this dress you may have seen before, now with even more "beetlejuice trying to convince lydia to let him go with her to no avail because she knows he won't behave"

i've been studying the right-wing for over a decade what is happening now in online right-wing spaces is fucking me up in ways that i'm currently unprepared for and don't know how to cope with

I'm fortunate enough to have won the Famicom ROB amiibo in a livestream years back.
