Go figure that the VERY NEXT DAY after I do a rant about how I don't like You & Idol Precure, it hits us with an absolute banger of an episode. Like, was that the best episode of the series? I think it was. #precure

Watching You & Idol Precure at the same time as Yes 5 Go Go sure is an... interesting experience. Since it entails watching a fairly unpopular older season at the same time as the new series, and being all "What y'all on about this older season is fun as heck? THIS NEW ONE, ON THE OTHER HAND... >:("

We all agree that these "dubs" suck. But once again, that's not the core problem here. The quality will inevitably improve, though I personally doubt to the quality of a dub made by actual humans who care. The problem is that these exist AT ALL. They're an offense to art, and always will be.

I can't believe next year's Precure season has an exclamation mark at the end of the title! #veryrealspoilers

Wow, when the government reopened the whole Epstein thing sure went through VERY fast... I mean there's basically zero chance the documents have not been tampered with, but even with that in mind... 1: the tampering will likely be obvious, 2: SOMEONE will definitely come out about what was redacted.

My new favorite kind of meme is "here are detailed instructions on how to turn off AI". 🔨

My very complex and intricate thoughts on You & Idol Precure episode 40: How did she get back so fast? #precure

Oh damn, I am like... genuinely sad about this. Dude directed my favorite season of Precure, my second-favorite One Piece movie, and the best-animated Dragon Ball movie. As well as playing a huge part in essentially saving the One Piece anime. RIP. www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-11...

I was excited for this week's Kimi to Idol Precure with its unexpected cameo from the Dancing Star crew making their animated debut... ...And then they're only in the ep for one minute, just introducing themselves, doing ONE attack, and then leaving. JUSTICE FOR THE MAGICAL BOYS NOW >:( #precure

Hornet's second journey through Pharloom was both a lot smoother and a lot more successful than her first. I now am only missing five achievements: Speedrun stuffs, Steel Soul stuffs (No.) and completing the Hunter's journal. ...I still think this game is punishing to the point of being unfair.

Evergreen

I know it's tedious to say at this point, but this is why we need to listen when porn artists and sex workers raise the alarm about this shit. Art and people that can be dismissed as "immoral" are ALWAYS the thin end of the wedge when the powers that be try and assert control over entire systems.

Hot take: Feeding all the hungry people is important enough to tolerate accidentally feeding people who don't need it as much as others might.

Pros and cons of Lumiose City planning: + This city is sure not built for cars. - These anti-homeless benches.

AI is literally the mechanism by which previously usable software is becoming enshitified. It can't avoid the trap...it is the trap.

Gotta block ‘em all! Here’s the one-stop shopping blocklist to disappear the Trump regime accounts that swarmed Bluesky yesterday. Flush these turds HERE - bsky.app/profile/did:...

Remember: - they DO NOT CARE about your arguments/rebuttals - they DO NOT CARE about your dunks - the person running the accounts was specifically hired to drive engagement BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY; it’s the algorithm they’re catering to This is a game, and to them you are data to be manipulated.

I'm pretty sure the tension there took several years off my life. PERSEVERED is right, holey sheets. 145 attempts to beat the final boss. Seriously. Woulda been funny to get to 150 but I wasn't gonna force it.

I can say with complete honesty and not even the slightest bit of hyperbole that the True Final Boss of Silksong has killed me one hundred times and that for all of that I have never even gotten HALFWAY THERE to defeating it. Why. Why do I do this to myself.

At the actual real final boss of Silksong now and I'm still not sure I like this game despite having put over 90 hours into it. Also said actual real final boss has killed me fifty times so far. I've kept count. Victory still seems VERY far out of reach.

I wanna re-emphasize something, to be clear: TERFs can fuck off. Fuck off further than anyone has ever fucked off before. Then fuck even further off than that. They will never be welcome around me and my fandoms.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Speaking as someone who plays Metroidvanias mainly for the exploration and who has never really been a fan of brutally punishing bosses... HOOOO BOY, Silksong is testing my patience. I'm starting to question if I'm even PHYSICALLY CAPABLE of beating this game.*

Team Cherry really, desperately, needed to hire playtesters who hadn't already beaten Hollow Knight. Even as someone who did beat Hollow Knight, it is actually *absurd* how punishing Silksong is like literally all the time.

friendly reminder that Bluesky bubbles replies to the top of the list based on engagement, even if that engagement takes the form of an argument! if someone is arguing in bad faith in your mentions and you want to reply, just remember this friendly acronym: DON’T D - don’t! O N T

If youre aghast at how even the adult website paypros ban things as benign as "cat ears", this is what we mean when we say that puritan policies DO NOT care to stop at just the "nasty" stuff When they say they target "beastiality", they mean up to and including an actual human being wearing catears

Mild take: The vilification of "virtue signalling" was a political project designed to make even the most subtle reminders of what decency is uncouth and it fucking worked.

Yay, the Norwegian elections this year seem to have ended with a narrow win for the left side meaning that our current center-left Prime Minister stays on. ...I don't much care for the guy but I'll take him over the Republican Lite parties taking over again.

Silksong sure is very very very very very very difficult. I mean the exploration is *awesome,* but man, those boss fights though...

You know, it took me a while to really get into Hollow Knight... It did not take me any time at all to really get into Silksong. Already I've played for nearly six hours.

This is a real game that exists and that you can now play... as long as the overloaded online storefronts will let the purchase go through :D

:)

God it was nice for the past half a week being able to hope and dream that I would never have to hear that idiot's BS again.

Related to that last post, y’all gotta stop “Quote Posting To Dunk On Someone” in general. It’s never been useful. It’s always been a bad idea. And all it does is focus more eyes on a singular asshole or hateful ideologies giving that person/thing more exposure and reach.

"Live and let live" is a perfectly valid attitude until some folks' idea of living involves the removal of people's rights and opportunities and, well, lives.

the world is better because it has trans people in it

Transphobes would have a lot less reach on here if everyone stopped arguing with them and quoting their posts to dunk on them, they don't give a rat's ass about your arguments and enjoy wasting your time.

Sometimes we’re unsatisfied with a thing we made because when it only existed in our head, we saw all the things it could have been and when it’s done we know all the things that it isn’t, but we can’t see the way it expands into a million new things when someone else unpacks it in their head. 🖊️🦑

Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says “Can I help you find something?” “I’m looking for the obituaries.” “The obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.” “Not the one I’m looking for.”

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

"Dude. A.I. is inevitable. Get over it." 1. No it isn't. 2. Even if it were? I'd still say "Fuck A.I." and refuse to interact with it. I will lock myself off to modern media in a heartbeat if it becomes truly unsvoidable. I have YEARS of shit to catch up on. 3. Grow a fucking backbone.

WELL NOW, would you look at that? A massive, 24-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 1.2 MILLION people in Denmark found NO LINK between aluminum in childhood vaccines and autism, asthma, OR chronic disorders. Aluminum is an ADJUVANT. It ENHANCES your immune response to a vaccine. That’s it.

America is so frustrating right now because the fascism is so lazy and dumb it should almost topple itself but elites are so lazy and incurious it just kinda coasts on with momentum

Don’t. Do not. Do literally anything other than this. See a licensed therapist. Get a plant. Volunteer at an animal shelter. Shitpost 24 hours a day on Bluesky. Anything but this.

Yet again not a drag queen, not a trans person, not a Democrat. As usual it is a Republican, in power, trying to change the laws to make it so sex predators are allowed to keep perpetuating their crimes.

Oh fuck right the fuck off.
