Thunder only happens when it's rainin' Gamers only love you when they're gamin'

funny arc that exploded on twitter for some reason #tsukihime #meme

Trump is ordering pregnant women and young children to stop taking pain and fever reliever. It’s a cruel, needless strategy to inflict pain, suffering, illness, anxiety, and social stigmatization. It’s also already given conservatives a new way to blame women for societal problems.

It’s 100% time to gird your loins and get your head ready to fight any government that tries to bail this out when it pops. This isn’t the banks, which are essential to everyone’s well-being. It’s not even a railroad or an insurance company, where failure would harm a subset. This isn’t essential.

Always a great sign when your captors are writing numbers on your arms.

Washington Post. Don't forget that they fired journalists too, and they've taken their paper and turned it into a tool for billionaires. I honestly think WaPo needs to be the next target. And lets not forget that they said this about Bondi, giving her a green thumbs up.

Just to be clear: Jared Kushner is one of the "investors". Yes. THAT Kushner. "[A]mong the investors is Affinity Partners. Notably, this is an investment company founded in 2021 by Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law." These are people who'll happily trash something to make a point

this needs to be hammered into the skulls of every elite individual and institution on every measure - reputationally, financially, morally - you come out better if you fight the guy stand up! it’s the right thing to do and better for you in every way! how often does that happen?

this would give you a heart attack if you saw it in 1998

They just can’t absorb the fact that we’ve already heard their ideas, considered them well in the scope of history, and determined that they’re bad. Bringing in reactionary speakers would be like bringing in a phlogiston theorist to a physics class, or a flat-earther to a geography class.

The real cure to male loneliness is earnestly giving a shit about literally anything other than being a vague centrist troll

EA has always been an evil soulless corporation owned by evil soulless men. People often read LGBTQIA+ as support, but it's always been about money. They never cared, and any progress we had was fruit of the devs' passion, only allowed for the promise of pink money (which they got).

Well don't I feel stupid

Just came from protest and then an emergency community meeting for Doctor Ian Roberts. #Iowa #ICE

can you posthumously disbar someone? like after these soulless pieces of pond scum die, can we have them posthumously disbarred? it wouldn't undo the damage. but it feels like the most spiteful way to spit on their memory in the way they would find most insulting. to canonize them as frauds.

Trump is massively unpopular. Most Americans don’t want this. “In this age, in this country, public sentiment is everything. With it, nothing can fail; against it, nothing can succeed.”

Buyers: So your games... guns and football, yes? EA: Mmhmm, mmhmm, mostly guns and football, yep. Buyers: No gay stuff? No politics we're not going to like? EA: Haha, definitely not! Hey, could you give me one sec? I just need to shut down a studio real quick. kotaku.com/report-saudi...

hard to explain but there’s liking het ship ships in a heterosexual way (derogatory) and liking het ships in a fujoshi way (positive)

I don't understand people who don't find Kojima incredibly charming

Being a member of Congress has to be the coolest job ever - sending strongly worded letters when your party’s out of power and rubber stamping everything the president does when your party’s in

…but the most resounding lesson that history has to teach is that as much as it may seem like there is no hope when you live in its shadow, every tyrant dies, every dark age passes, and every empire falls. The future will be what we make of it.

People act like there are only two outcomes to this moment in history: Trump-style neo-confederate fascism wins, or we do. But there's a third, more bleak, more likely option, and it's what we saw after Reagan-Bush: a realignment where this simply becomes the new normal long term.

Kimmel’s defiant return highlights one of the most disturbing dynamics of Trump II, that so many people in positions of leadership are chickenshit frauds who would rather fold in advance than put up anything resembling a fight www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

this was the worst thing about Trump 1.0, every week felt like a year I cannot fucking believe people wanted to go back to this

Average American motorist:

yes! and as tim implies here, share that information with the journalists!!

Congrats to the BDS. FREE PALESTINE.

I love this picture of Guillermo del Toro and Hideo Kojima because it looks like they’re expecting.

I mostly agree with this, but more so: Any time spent on saying "they have incoherent politics" is probably better spent saying "what ideology, which policies, what social strategys have produced this violent nihilism, and what analogs do they have historically?"

wish there was a better way to have the convo about the fact a lot of fans force queer subtext into big corporate IP that is comically devoid of it, champion it for being "so gay", and then turn around and go "mm idk, it isn't PERFECT rep" about indie stuff actually trying to include those themes

Look what we have here then.

protesters to politician: doing this one specific thing we all agreeed that we want will get you all of our collective votes politician: wtf why are you being so mean to me

House and Senate Dems are going after the big law firms providing free legal services to Trump. They may not get far now, but what they're really doing is laying the groundwork for full-blown congressional investigations the moment they take back the House. www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

"It's gauche and uncivil to accurately describe me" is a core view of today's fascists

this is one of the coolest fucking things I have seen in my entire life

Apparently a lot of ppl needs to hear this #bskycensorship

You NEED to call your reps and tell them this shit fucking sucks! They literally want to big-brother style waych you at all times, zero privacy, to "protect children"

Ferdinand having sexual fantasies Edelgard and feeling ashamed of it so he starts imagining Hubert scolding him for having such perverted thoughts about the emperor. Except that makes him even more horny and also becomes something he thinks about while jerking off.

Universal Basic Income doesn’t make people stop working. It makes people stop panicking. Panicking about rent. Panicking about bills. Panicking about choosing between medicine and food. Imagine what America could build if survival wasn’t our full-time job. #UBI
