this post deserves to be presented to you by having an index card moved down word by word with photos taken of your face after every new reveal

“thank you sir for firing me like a dog, which seems distinctly preferable to other ways one might deal with an unwanted dog”

In no particular order, just the first 9 that came to mind when thinking "what videogames have been the most important/formative to my tastes?" my9games.com

THREAD. 3 & 1/4 years ago, with no warning, a brilliant orange farm cat wandered over from the draughty barn where he'd been living, in rural Cornwall, & decided he wanted to live with us instead. We decided to call him Jim. This is the first photo I took of him, on that night: December 1st 2022

“Secretary Noem, do you remember when you shot that dog for not doing her job to your satisfaction? Well, funny story…”

I like to sing little songs and parodies to my pills when I take them. "Cy-clo-benzaprine" scans to "This Is Halloween" and "Hydrochlora-thiazide" scans to "Alexander Hamilton."

Hatoful Boyfriend but Nixon & Mao is a helluva thing.

Obama is the only president to date born when there were 50 states

you can tell that this isn't a real problem, because if it was this would be written by someone it happened to and not someone who it didn't happen to saying "but if it did that would have sucked."

Depressing thread.

In a society, we live.

The worst max landis joke I ever heard was someone saying he was proof John Landis was the worst kind of helicopter parent.

For years we said they’re going for a genocide of trans people and for years we were told to “stop being so dramatic.” Now we’re at the point of human experimentation with the explicit goal of eradicating us. Can we call the genocide a fucking genocide now?

they’re calling it “operation epic fury” we are controlled by men whose brains stopped developing at 11 years old

No one ever wants to know what you misread a post as that made it seem funny to you in a way it was not. That’s not information anyone needs.

Musk is an Ayn Rand villain who imagines he is an Ayn Rand hero, which is a kind of perfect storm of douchebaggery.

Continuing to make my way through Best Picture & Best International Film Oscar-winners (plus throwing in other movies from my collection that came out the same year), I'm up to 1993. I'd skipped the first Addams Family when I hit 1991, so I watched that, too. #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

TIL that the L, 2, and 8 are in three different typefaces, and I'm not going to be able to unsee that for the next two years, goddamnit.

RIP Rob Grant, thank you for 6 amazing series of Red Dwarf and some excellent novels of same, as well as your wonderful non-RD novels like Incompetence and Colony. www.ganymede.tv/2026/02/rob-...

Dear Alaskans: This administration thinks of you as an external meat shield, not truly American

"You are telling unstable people to take action to stop a genocide." I mean, someone needs to.

I'm also in this book!

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point. I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

what even is the fucking point

Reservoir Dogs takes place almost entirely on a single set, so obviously people have done stage productions from time to time. But why has there never been a Broadway musical version?

I also binged my way through the Hannibal TV series in there somewhere, but if @letterboxd.social even includes TV shows, I'm choosing not to track them. #LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

It's all a massive jobs program for forensic accountants.

Kagemusha: The Shadow Frog

okay you know what we're doing this why rise of skywalker is the worst crime ever committed against cinema and the very concept of a coherent fictional universe: a thread

Not saying I think about the structural problems with A Song of Ice and Fire too much, but the other day I had a dream that 'The Winds of Winter' came out, and that it had an entirely new set of POV characters: historians trying to piece together how the war *really* ended a thousand years later.

The most important thread on Bluesky today. The next question: is this a Waldenbooks or a B. Dalton?

so this is bait right

I'm not actually sure I'd want GG Allin flavored potato chips, no matter whose picture they put on them.

”This is a world of compensations; and he who would *be* no slave, must consent to *have* no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.”

Happy Valentine's day, folks. Here's my favorite story about the nerd and the honeypot.

It's another one of those irregular verbs. WE detain potential criminals for the sake of public safety. THEY imprison people in concentration camps.

im just quoting this bc the quote it quotes is horrifyingly racist and rapey and has some slurs and i think if you're at a place where you're sensitive to that kind of shit you already know how bad it is and don't need to read it

We've had "choking hazard" warnings on toys for decades; is it now time to start adding "memetic hazard" labels? (And yes, I know: Libertarians don't like "choking hazard" labels either.)

The fate of the Republic hinges on what ffmpeg preset this dumbass who was converting the screen recording was using bsky.app/profile/adje...

the people who rule us are fucking children, in both senses

Reason was a pretty good magazine back when Radley Balko was writing for it.

BREAKING: “in my 24th year of my quest to settle the planet Mars, I have just been informed of a basic fact of celestial mechanics.”

I feel like I'm losing my goddamnned mind. This op-ed was written by Kathrine Mangu-Ward. Katherine is editor-in-chief of Reason magazine. Reason fired @shikhadalmia.bsky.social for being too anti-Trump.

thank god

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.
