look I know the republican party is completely captured by trump's cult of personality but at what point do you look at your bank account and your donor's bank accounts and start to sweat a bit

Fantasy Maiden Wars is kinda peak Touhou. very impressive how they nailed reimu and Marisa being their own unique kinds of shithead

God fucking damnit this is why I wake up to

Glad to see Fallout S2 is starting out strong. Seems like the New Vegas ending they're using might be that the Courier died in that pit and the platinum chip was lost - which is kind of an interesting way to deal with that much player agency in a game. You know, just remove the player altogether.

THE BILLS BUFF OUT THE PATS

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Maybe it’s just my algorithm, which is a condemnation in and of itself, but it sure seems like mass shootings really just don’t make the news anymore. If I hadn’t seen an oblique reference to Brown yesterday I probably never would’ve found out about the fact that 11 kids were shot during final exams

One thing I miss about Twitter was the ability to find any truly deranged opinion you could imagine on there. “Maternity leave should be illegal” “periods are sexist” “[insane fandom argument]” “height gap discourse” now it’s all just Nazi shit and bots

[observing someone’s obsessive passion project] wow i really like whatever’s wrong with that guy

"Usians" is an alternate spelling referring to inhabitants of the continent of Usea in hit flight-action series Ace Ciombat's main setting of Strangereal

What if the loved ones we’ve lost could be part of our future?

Man Virgin Punk whipped so much ass, it’s such a throwback to classic 80s/90s OVAs. What was just ass was paying $18 to see a 35 minute OVA.

ok so like something is deeply wrong with him medically right

There's more to narratives about dismantling power structures than cheap #dissent, writes @strangelibrary.com www.typebarmagazine.com/2025/08/29/c...

I fucking hate Windows 11 so much. Can’t believe I had to waste an entire evening just trying to get it to reinstall I just wanna play video games after work on a slow evening fuck this OS and its shitty code

Email just went out from @aoc.bsky.social to her massive email community - no tacky ask to sign a petition - no craven and shameless ask donation - not even a donate button Just laying out plainly how she believes Trump has launched an illegal war and that is grounds for impeachment. Leader.

people are getting hit with surprise tariff bills on their online orders and are not having a good time. take, for example, the bridesmaid who bought and returned two dresses for $400 and then got a $600 bill from fedex to cover import charges. www.businessinsider.com/americans-hu...

Finished 1000xresist. What a game. What a narrative.

Man, sometimes Arknights writing just has the sauce

Please Pope Leo XIV, your Holiness, please excommunicate JD Vance. Please banish him from the light of Christ’s redemption until he repents. Please make him very mad on TV. Please use your pope magic to send him bodily to hell.

Everyone one of these little twerps will need to be prosecuted aggressively, preferably by people who were fired by them

VOLITION - In honour of your will, lieutenant-yefreitor. That you kept from falling apart, in the face of sheer terror. Day after day. Second by second. INLAND EMPIRE - DETECTIVE ESPRIT DE CORPS - ARRIVING AUTHORITY - ON THE SCENE

I know it's not the most important thing here but this story also corroborates one of my biggest theories about these tech guys: they do zero hours of work in a day. They do no work no matter how much they claim to work 14 hours a day. They're just on their phones.

Can we do DoorDash discourse again, just as a treat? That was always fun.

Got a big feeling that because we did lesbian rep last time, and gay rep from the start, the show about Char’s legacy will be about Machu being bisexual

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia? Before you open this thread, take a guess. Settle on a number and then compare it to what you'll learn in this thread. 🧵

Holy shit I just thought about the China tariffs and Christmas. Imagine how many kids are legit getting nothing or next to nothing and having it explained to them that things are too expensive now. This shit could be apocalyptic for Trump

Which is apt, because that's literally what happened

Something I think people have missed is the insane China de minimis policy baked into the EOs today. Starting 4/9/25, every single package <$800 is 1) getting hit with a 30% tariff 2) getting a $25/$50 flat rate tariff on top of that 3) has to go through the process of being formally declared

Rewatching CCA in theaters has convinced me that the allegations against Char are nearly baseless and come mainly from noted pedophile Gyunei Guss. He's clearly just manipulating Quess to get her to pilot a mobile suit for him. She could never be a mother to him.

Raskin is cooking on this town hall, he’s dialed in on the Yarvin madness and is just going off about this. Glad that at least someone is awake.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Shizuna Rem Misurugi

We’re going back to the old EU, dealing with the post-imperial splinter factions, then various super weapons people build/find as a commentary on the empire opening Pandora’s box on proliferation, then Yuzong Vong

He's fucking senile! Brains leaking out his ears

TRUMP TAKE EGG TRUMP CRASH PLANE TRUMP GIVE MEASLES TRUMP TAKE TAKE FLU SHOT TRUMP IMPORT RAPISTS

Folks I think we might be cooked, slow roasted, sous vided, stewed, grilled over an open fire, and flat out deep fried.

Bigotry is, essentially, a luxury good after all (in formal economist speak). You basically "overpay" (or accept a less efficient outcome) to discriminate. Now, you might argue a counterfactual of all the poor people who are bigots, but people are also not actually individually rational actors.

Trump Crash Plane

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has a clear message for Elon Musk:

i need a beautiful woman to murder me

It's one thing for an industry to be burning down, it's another for c-suite management to be actively hurling containers of gasoline onto the fire. Like who the fuck runs a business like this? Can you imagine if Ford posted incredible Q1 results on a new model and decided to shutter the factory?

I love our national parks, as overcrowded as they are at times. I love the glory and splendor of the American west. But now TRUMP TAKE EGG TRUMP TAKE PARK TRUMP CRASH PLANE
