Will Arnett was on Conan and told a story about how Conan dealt with the death of his parents by accusing Jason Bateman of killing them. It’s so funny.

This shit is so good they still play it on TV like It’s A Wonderful Life in SD.

"Collector Grade Plush Toy" is a phrase that makes me want to puke.

the city of los angeles burned in january in part because of a man who couldn’t stop generating images of burning cities on ChatGPT, and then after he lit the fire he asked if the fire he started was his fault

Merritt's breakfast sounds like it's min maxed for benefit-to-weight ratio in a Fallout game.

In 2017, the U.S. government used a cover of music from Yoshi's Island DS on one of their websites, presumably without permission, as the music was removed immediately after this was publicly discovered.

You're JOKING this was approved. The move of large corporations, particularly Nintendo, patenting obvious gameplay ideas that just happen to be executed via software is one of the greatest threats to game development and creativity. How is the USPTO approving these. (Claim breakdown below)

@haleyfax.bsky.social Sorry if you're being bombarded with this, but Nintendo copyright news that would be interesting to hear discussed: nintendoeverything.com/nintendo-and...

I am now haunted by the spectre of Corso putting on a giant JD Vance head

My "I was rendering assistance to a definitely real domestic violence victim before I was Meet Joe Blacked" t-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt

I just gave Good Game, No Rematch by @mikedrucker.bsky.social 5 stars on Audible. It was a great time, Mike! www.audible.com/pd/B0D3S155P...

Man, block lists are the unsung heroes of Bluesky. Almost every time I'm recommended somebody to block, they already are.

The constitutional amendment to implement a new tax on wealthy Michiganders is still aiming for the 2026 ballot after facing some initial setbacks and new attacks, with its signature collection driving kicking off on Friday. Story from @bensolis1.bsky.social

Jesus after coming back to Earth:

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.

'Microsoft has no place being accomplice of a genocide:' Arkane union workers demand Xbox maker sever ties with Israel

Indie devs! You might want to do a search for your game's title on Amazon. Today, one of our team members found a listing for an "official" strategy guide for TMNT: Tactical Takedown. 1) There is no official guide, and this certainly would not be it. 2) It's clearly AI slop both inside and out.

Ok, just learned that @kelslewin.bsky.social (Novi) and @sarahpodz.bsky.social (Farmington Hills) both lived in metro Detroit as kids. And I know @grubb.wtf did too (was it Sterling Heights?). What the hell? I've lived in the area since 2014. I'm in Clarkston now.

“there are a dozen or so trans kids playing high school sports, this is not an issue that affects you and its time we start asking why the guy who has repeatedly bragged about being sexually attracted to children wants to look at your kids genitals” is an entirely true thing you can say!

literally the only counter argument you need is “jeffrey epsteins best friend wants to repeatedly inspect your childs genitals”

I know a lot of you have already heard or read about BDS Movement's call against Microsoft, and felt weird and bad about it all, but decided to move forward as normal because of some degree of ambiguity. "What service is Microsoft providing?" Here it is, clear as day. A direct line to death.

haribo kojima, is that anything

Haley MacLean won't be attending the MinnMax community meetup this Saturday because US Customs wouldn't let her into the country from Canada because she might appear in a video... Yes, we're also furious at the US government. Send some love to @haleyfax.bsky.social!

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

Trump: People were taken out of the spa, hired by Epstein… I told him we don’t want you taking our people, whether it’s spa or not spa. He did it again, I said out of here. Reporter: Was one of the stolen people Virginia Giuffre? Trump: I think so. He stole her.
