I keep coming back to this.

Irasutoya, Japan's popular free clip art library, has released its latest creation in honor of the United States President, Donald Trump. It's a clever play on TACO (Trump Always Chickens Out) and the Japanese word タコ for octopus, which also means "idiot."

Now's a good time to circle back on this

I don't necessarily want Cosmic Angels to disband, but I will be relieved when they do so there will be more people to mix up tags with instead of ExV still just tagging with each other for everything even though their unit no longer exists.

The fact that this piece's subheadline starts with "I don’t think the rapper is antisemitic" is absolutely wild. Like... the man paid millions of dollars for a Super Bowl ad a couple years ago to sell merch with swastikas on it. And he said, "I am a Nazi." And he released a pro-Hitler song.

I don't know what's funnier, the fact that Ranna Yagami's new look is Taichi's hand-me-downs or the fact that it still works really well for her.

🚨New preprint and our results are rather concerning.. We find the "boiling frog" equivalent of AI use. Using large-scale RCTs, we provide *casual* evidence that AI assistance reduces persistence and hurts independent performance. And these effects emerge after just 10–15 minutes of AI use! 1/

Poor Matoi, she just cannot catch a break. It looks like she's out due to illness and not injury so hopefully it's relatively minor and hopefully Ami's injury isn't serious and she's back soon too.

genuinely think people outside of America don't realize how big this place is, how militarized and murderous our police are, how little our politicians care, how disconnected and impoverished we have been intentionally made to be, how we still have slavery just with extra steps. we really suck gang

It becomes clearer every day that “Death to America!” is not about hatred, but the kind of love necessary to save the lives of everyone on Earth.

I’ve been thinking about this guy almost daily for ten fucking years. essentially my entire 30’s. when he finally croaks I imagine I’ll let out a sigh so deep it realigns my fucking spine

Considering how many games we've published that were designed by Yoshihisa Kishimoto, or were sequels to/spinoffs of his work, or were directly inspired by his games, it seemed only fitting for the LRG team to share their thoughts and memories in tribute: limitedrungames.com/blogs/news/r...

Everyone in this administration should be in prison for life

Today was maybe not the day to start a game of Desert Strike

There is a level of consequences that must be brought against the billionaires and "elites" that they have bought their way out of for far too long before there can be any progress towards any state that could be considered remotely good.

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children. Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future. If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it. So must you.

There's a non-zero chance an evil, sundowning fascist might nuke a country for no reason at all and I'm just supposed to do my day job like this shit is normal? I used to think I could compartmentalize shit pretty well, but the last year is really wearing me the fuck out.

I guess we're just waiting around to see if this demented psychopath kills everyone: defector.com/i-guess-were...

Thanks for at least posting about this, Senator. But don't say "whatever the hell this is." It's GENOCIDE. And you have to do more. I don't care that you're in the minority. Think bigger. Call for a general strike. Get every D senator to chain themselves to the White House gates. SOMETHING.

We’re led by the very worst of us—and I don’t just mean Trump, who’s only an appropriate figurehead for his class and their narcissism, bloodlust and poisonous, nihilistic ideology. Far from being a democracy or meritocracy, our system rewards psychopathy with world-ending power.

This month, Mr. Kishimoto, the creator of Double Dragon and Renegade (Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun), passed away. To pay tribute to this legendary creator beloved by fans around the world, I’m sharing a video from a few years ago of Yamaoh playing the drums. Thank you for the wonderful memories. R.I.P.

It will almost certainly result in the introduction of MUCH higher consumption taxes, which are regressive, thus screwing over the people it is supposed to help, and will worsen government services, screwing those same people again. This is an absolute shit idea.

Yeah the problem with Bluesky is all the progressives making centrists feel bad, not the fact that my feed has barely loaded for the last week.

It's funny if you were to offer me a turkey sandwich or a ham sandwich, I'm taking the turkey sandwich 10 out 10 times, but if it's a roast turkey vs a spiral cut ham, the ham is winning every time.

NYT continues to copy/paste the most brazen fascist lies. www.nytimes.com/2026/04/02/u...

oh you can't afford groceries even though you deliberately voted to have more expensive food because you thought I'd end up in a camp and you'd enjoy the tradeoff? cool now enjoy eating regret

You can really tell America is winning this war when the president panic posts “open the fuckin’ strait, you crazy bastards” at 5 am on Easter Sunday along with an extension on their deadline

Aya Sakura having a normal one after another loss and her world collapses around her...

The only troops I respect.

Means-testing also makes programs cost more than they would under a universal model, because so much money gets wasted on verification, surveillance, and compliance.

I feel a little weird in that I don't really revisit media all that much. It's all about finding new interesting things. That said, nothing beats MST3K for general background, but that feels like the most normal comfort media there is.

MIT calculates that living wages around the country, and the current federal minimum wage, don’t cover basic quality of life anywhere. trib.al/MQZKNYE This debate is as much about our national values as it is about economic policy: “How little do you think the least person deserves in our economy?”

Used to be when a country was belligerent and doing war crimes in other, very well defined, unambiguously independent countries, the rest of the world would come together and stop that thing, or at least apply sanctions. At minimum we should be cut off financially from the rest of the world.

Deliberately attacking civilian infrastructure without apparent military value is a war crime. Shouldn't be surprising since America elected a war crimes advocate, who in his first term pardoned convicted war criminals, and in his second made the public champion of those war criminals SecDef.

There’s always enough money for wars, for ICE, for billionaires. Just not for you.

"You might say that I’m just somebody who’s focused on what’s really important: Not remembering anything but my feelings and being convinced that I am the arbiter of the human experience because I am the only one who continually exists."

Can't fault them for truth in advertising, happiness can be bought for money.

It is really, really wild how persistent and prominent this remains in common LLMs. There seems to be an air of "well they fixed that" and it is 100% not true: most of the energy just seems to be going towards 'being plausible enough to be accepted', ie style and not accuracy or truth

"Mass immigration is good, socially and economically; is the single most significant factor in America’s current position as the global locus of commerce and culture; we’ve been lucky to have it; and we should want more," writes @felipedlh.bsky.social. newrepublic.com/article/2080...
