Ew

Thank you TVTropes for finally doing me the favor of ensuring I never accidentally see a TVTropes page again.

Quoting this again cause the idea of a guy with a subscription to TVTropes is cracking me up

If you go down to the woods today you’re sure of a big surprise. The woods are gone. There’s a road called ‘The Woods’ there instead, containing a load of fucking ghastly overpriced executive houses with identical shiny light grey interiors and pointless giant clocks in their living rooms.

It’s the seamless & un-self-conscious transition between the material & the meta which really defined Jim Henson’s approach to the characters & craft of The Muppets. Post-Jim, both The Jim Henson Company & then Disney have hidden the performer & the magic of performance. A shame.

I see this exact same sentiment all the time with Gundam, especially around the time G-Witch started, and, my dude: From 0079 to WING to SEED and onward, women saved the franchise multiple times. www.reddit.com/r/Gundam/com...

I don’t know how many times I have to say this but if you didn’t know any geek girls in high school or you don’t know any now it’s because they didn’t trust you and you’re *NOT A SAFE PERSON* for women to be themselves around.

this is the people's ballroom

i went to a star trek convention 11 yrs ago where a drunk guy tried to ask terri farrell whether, since she married worf, and "had a thing" with capt sisko, dax would say "once you go black you never go back" and he got profoundly booed and made to leave the con

this is what will happen if mamdani makes bus rides free

lmao Lucille fucking Ball is the only reason Star Trek even exists. but sure. women don't like trek. lmaooooo

still thinking about this article today. so many societal ills are caused by people white-washing what actually happens. it's awful to see games do it too. can't wait for cozy domestic violence simulator or cozy kkk simulator

if I ever hold a panel on audio editing you know this image is gonna be part of the slideshow

Cuomo has always been a mean, brutish, ugly person, "Vote for Cuomo, not the homo", and it's fitting that he ends his campaign this way. I want him lose worse than the first time, I want him to never show his face in public again.

Better version - this is full version and was loaded 8 years ago - long before AI.... even mentions Canada at about 2 minutes. youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc?...

my biggest takeaway from all the dudes talking about how could you possibly know this was a nazi symbol is there are a lot of fake WW2 nerds in the chat

Fun random history fact! During WW2, three women joined the Dutch antifa partisan resistance against the nazi occupation. They would seduce high-ranking nazi officers at bars, lure them into the woods, extract any useful intel, & then shoot them. This has been a fun random history fact!

I trust @aftermath.site as one of the few gaming sites to cover things accurately. So have an article about the joke of security theatre, the incident of Emiru being assaulted and more at #TwitchCon (Disclosure, I am quoted in this article) aftermath.site/twitch-twitc...

this is not my beautiful beach that is not my beautiful wife

betamax is back - as a laser disc

I'm making a short game for this Halloween 👻 PULCRA is my take on the maze horror/Slenderman type of game.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

i do think by early 2026 there will be a ground invasion to war and troop presence in venezuela

the motherfucker who couldn't sell steaks with his name attached is gonna tell me someone "cheated on a commercial" okay

Really appreciate that the app version of the board game Root has a global chat

Reminder post about the Phasmo Dev being racist, defending sharing nudes without the persons consent. Not gonna tell people what to play but I just don't get why people *that know* stream it after this. Ik people can change but... idk past racism & defending sex pest is a hard no for me. {1/2}

The main character in this article is a cop who went to an ATM, got pizza, and spent the night in a cemetery instead of thoroughly investigating gunshots and he's _still_ not the worst cop in the story the gunshots were a NJ state trooper killing his ex-girlfriend & her current boyfriend

He is going to be a delight on the stand. I can feel it in my bones.

🤠

He loves DRAMA I bet it's just like tv!

Hahahaha oh my god I'm going to be out here begging for funding again soon so I can go to Chicago Tuesday because LOL

Cyberpunk 2 is cancelled, why would anyone ever need a new RPG game when we have Caves of Qud

This is the ideal woman.

hey so for once there's an actual happy update to something our local ice cream guy came home and he's getting a green card

Halo is dead, Marathon is DOA, Destiny is on life support. Its time. Announce Oni 2.

I wrote about how to turn in-person meetings into Signal groups, how to manage large semi-public Signal groups while vetting new members, and how to sue announcement-only Signal groups, perfect for rapidly responding to ICE raids micahflee.com/using-signal...

Hang in there little guy

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

amazing

I'm sorry but I can't see that FanDuel "calling all thrillionaires" megabike into a portal ad without thinking of Gandahar

Out and about on the NW side this evening.

the I in ICE is for Incontinent

The "Bob absolutely did NOT murder and eat a child in 1985 and I would fight to the death anyone who claims this heinous slander" to "Ok I saw Bob's video where he admits to eating a child in 1985, here's why I still stand by what I said" pipeline.

Declaring a national emergency to prevent Colleen Hoover from releasing anything else

yeah my instinct that i need to nut

neurotypical fuckers are always like "autistic people have trouble following directions" and then hand me a form that asks if I have a history of bike helmet

She made a really good point about how SIlicon Valley is funding fluff for rich people instead of funding things that can actually help people. youtu.be/BEI2X2xSu3k...

“ICE gestapo chaser” is a genuinely horrifying & dystopian concept

get this guy outta here. cut your losses, he's washed
