Let's skip the part where we get a bloodthirsty conqueror for Emperor shortly after the revolution

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26 NO - 41% YES - 38% UNSURE - 21%

2006 was a decade ago. I think everyone's over it now lmao

I understand Rubio slipping up and admitting this in the moment (he's an idiot who panics under pressure) but having the Trump Admin's official messaging account boost it is... wow.

*chomp* BEHOLD! A thousand CEREALS! I collect CEREALS! It took me nine YEAREALS to collect the CEREALS NYUM NYUM CEREALS GOOOOOOOOOD

Media Matters analyzed a year of NYT coverage of anti-trans bills and found that 66% of the time the paper didn't quote a trans person. Further, it found that the paper often quoted right wing sources without mentioning their histories of anti-trans rhetoric. So "right-wing rag" is pretty accurate.

have not really had more than 1 solid meal a day basically since i made this post. pest inspection happens wednesday. am still at like four dollars cash. help

Lmao David Zaslav really is betting everything on this entire deal collapsing World-historic con man, I almost weirdly respect it

Let's cheese it.

all things being equal that's not really a bad assumption. it's barely 48 hours into the latest Iran campaign and he's already bored and looking for someone else to bomb bsky.app/profile/carl...

This lecture was posted on the Guardian while I was in my second year of university, reading a political theory canon composed mostly of white men, and it honestly stuck immediately in my head far fiercer and stronger than any of them. I think of it like every day.

Lmao gas is gonna be $4 a gallon again isn't it We really are doing an even dumber repeat of the Bush years

I've lived in Maine for several years and I can tell you that "left-wing Nazi" is a very oddly common type of guy here

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

I love “cozy games” on an individual level but “cozy” used to include replaying resident evil 2 for the 5th time now as a genre it’s starting to feel like it is locking people into aesthetic tradwife boot camp

really one of the strangest media cycles in history, where mainstream media actively hid the fact that the columbine killers were popular upper class preppy kids with full on neo-nazi ideologies and instead pretended they were victims of bullying

kabbu j bugfables in terraria real [NOT CLICKBAIT] [TOTALLY LEGIT]

Chase Bank now having a built-in "pay in 4" option on their checking accounts sure does feel like a recession indicator

I'm also going to suggest a compare and contrast the softly-softly treatment of Graham Platner with the microscopic scrutiny Zohran Mamdani was subject to when from the nano-second he became a serious contender for a high-profile local government post.

every zoomer bro who told me how based Dubai was should be drafted into the UAE armed forces

Apropos of the moment, Cake (yes, that Cake) has a wonderful cover of Black Sabbath's War Pigs that should be known more.

Volume of releases matters As a kid, of fucking course you're gonna be infinitely more invested in a series that releases games on time scales that you can actually wrap your head around

The King is mad

We are back in the realm of "it doesn't count as domestic surveillance if we select (two hops out from) someone else, put it in a post-collection database and then query that however we want"

Toby Fox: I AM GENIUS

This is hardly the primary issue, but I guess Khamenei isn't going to respond to my Twitter DMs asking if he liked anime.

I'm a game design genius

I direct my anger at everyone who is incapable of taking a principled moral stance, and doubly so for those who have power, and triply for those who have power and claim a moral superiority and yet never state their moral opposition to immoral acts.

Nah, this isn't true. They actually *can't* replace coders fully, what's actually happening in tech is that firms across the board are contracting due to the economy being broadly in the shitter (and you can likely blame tariffs here), and AI is just the most readily available rationalization

Bubsy: Less Ba​d Edition (SNES) Added

when Athens was at its peak in 500 BC, the Egyptian pyramids were already an ancient mystery people would go visit on vacation the Trojan War happened a thousand years earlier and the pyramids were still ancient by comparison

people in the replies seem to be genuinely confused why they should not mirror a collection, that includes stuff explicitly removed from Internet Archive, to Internet Archive

If you are an elected official that opposes military strikes on Iran, the head of CBS News will clap back at you. Will be interesting to see if she does this for other objectors, or just Muslim politicians, but it does raise the question how much her views of the Middle East shape the news.

scrawny 18-year-old about to fall out of an army helicopter over tehran: this is so epic. this is totally sigma, right babe? AI e-girl operated by a balding intelligence officer in virginia: that's right baby, Iran is totally cringe

I'm not a very big fan of the government, in case you couldn't tell.

All true but it's frustrating that we might have been spared a lot of this but for the Lancet publishing Andrew Wakefield's fraudulent study in 1998

You guys really don't understand WHY the Democrats are the target of this criticism, do you? It's because, as the OPPOSITION party of REPRESENTATIVES, they are supposed to REPRESENT THOSE WHO OPPOSE THE REPUBLICANS. If they fail to oppose, they fail to do their ONE alleged job!

they just be airing fuckin anything in hoenn man

there are a lot of people working in the government right now who want to intentionally trigger an apocalypse to create the conditions for the return of jesus christ and I know how crazy that sounds but its absolutely true

at what point is "america is a dying empire & will collapse in on its own weight in time" just wishful thinking for a rapture event that makes people actively passive and complacent and channel away efforts from doing things. there is no sign of stopping despite everything

Trump & Co have been talking about US military action for weeks, if not months, and positioning the assets to do it - long before such intelligence ever could have become a factor. This is transparent nonsense.

so you want to emulate a slave/petro state... without slaves or petroleum

While Republicans fully support Trump's war with Iran, Democratic leaders do not oppose it. There is no effective opposition. Hakeem Jeffries is merely demanding that the administration "must explain itself to the American people and Congress" and "provide an ironclad justification."

If you've grown up having to deal with the weirdest and most unsettling of church goers (often white and republican, lets not mince words) you know how true this is. Christian Nationalism is just that mind bending and dangerous. Its basically no different from a turbo cult but now they have power
