New video about nostalgia is out now! It’s about how sometimes nostalgia for the past can help you heal and move forward in your life while guarding against the ways it can trap you in the past. Night in the Woods and Lost Records make an appearance because of course they do youtu.be/UW4qjU89_lo

me have money but me can't buy access? that's unimpossible! bsky.app/profile/more...

Last night my partner and I picked up the new @themountaingoats.bsky.social album thinking we would listen to it while doing stuff around the house. We wound up dancing around the record player till it was over. What a night.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should. Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE. Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Cool. What would you call the other wing then? www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

released tear gas as they were driving away? this is like a game to these ICE agents isn't it? It's all about making a quiet neighborhood street or busy commercial area look like a war zone for their sizzle reels. Good grief.

its remarkable to see random suburbanites in their fucking PJs have more courage than the vast majority of america's political, social, and civil elites

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

These are screenshots from the ACTUAL WHITE HOUSE PAGE on the timeline of the East Wing. You may not believe what you re seeing. Go and check for yourself. This...I don't even know what to say about this.

I slept on Crow Country for a long time but the benefit of that is when I give up on a puzzle there is a huge backlog of people giving hints without spoiling it

I wonder if it was actually on purpose because a climactic scene of the movie is Russell Crowe clearly being a wizard

The new video is finally out! 1/6 finally finished. Really excited to see the conversations around this one and already having interesting discussions about Frieren. Now my reward is one hour of uninterrupted Hades II www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQh6...

And it's bare, surface-level criticism. Nobody doing this has to actually engage with what they're criticizing, it's never about how well those themes or characters are done, just that they exist. It's intellectually lazy, but it's just aesthetics they can point to without engaging any deeper.

“But they can’t do that! Someone should do something!” Feels like such a naive reaction to this news at this point

Newsletter: This is The Case Against Generative AI, a comprehensive analysis of a financial collapse built on myths I’ll dispel, the markets’ unhealthy obsession with NVIDIA's growth, and the fact that there is not enough money in the world to fund OpenAI. www.wheresyoured.at/the-case-aga...

like, the fact that they felt this spectacle was necessary is itself evidence that they don't have the military support that they want

Had the weirdest encounter at the gas station today but every time I tell a different coworker about it they bring up how maybe the person wanted to kidnap me and its making me feel like the crazy one because I don’t assume every person catcalling me and trying to get my attention is a kidnapper

This is really great reporting from Mother Jones - the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine disavows the Society for Evidence-Based Gender Medicine for misusing his work. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

the RFK Jr breathing sounds are a rough hang

Aight man.

i think it is a sign of low character to post something controversial knowing it will get angry comments and then insult the people who responded to your ragebait

I think this is true, which is why you can expect a full-on assault on ranked choice from both major parties over the next year-plus. They'll frame it as "your vote doesn't count in ranked choice," which won't be true or make sense, but when has that stopped any of them

one more election thing this morning: because New York is large, people might lose sight of the Mamdani victory being local politics. but it is, and it points up the potential of local politics to reshape direction, to inspire broadly, to change the story

This fucking clown was at Virginia Beach Pride harassing people about being queer. Even when people kept pleading to be left alone. Got police attention and they did nothing 🌹

this month for flaming hydra i wrote about the music in Sinners

The mayor has been protesting the opening of the facility throughout this week, saying its operators did not get proper permits

My newest video isn’t doing so hot on views. I’d been focusing on indie darling video games for a while and switching to an obscure anime probably didn’t do me any favors. Check it out if you like weird #anime youtu.be/xkLS-tNEM0Y?...

Genuinely has anyone *ever* been owned so badly as a man who converts to a new religion as an adult and sorta makes it his whole thing only to see the literal head of that religion rebuke his entire deal and then they choose the NEXT head of the religion specifically because he doesn't like you

free movie idea: "The Thing II: Conclave." the thing is cloistered with a bunch of cardinals and is copying them. we have to stop it, but which cardinal is it? most importantly of all: we can't let it become pope

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done

About to be Jokerfied by this blandly tossed-off statement in a piece about how the lie machines will never stop lying. Why concede that AI is "useful" in writing term papers? What is the purpose of writing assignments in education? Is AI accomplishing that purpose? www.nytimes.com/2025/05/05/t...

1. Labyrinth of the Demon King - May 13 There's a demo, so give this first person dungeon crawler a go. Feels very King's Field in its influence, but be prepared for an oppressively atmospheric and creepy experience with some very grimy oldschool visuals store.steampowered.com/app/1804010/...

I LIKE LONG BUTTS AND I CANNOT LIE THOUGH IT'S TECHNICALLY JUST A THIGH WHEN A BUTT STARTS UP AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WAIST AND EXTENDS DOWN TO THE PLACE WHERE KNEES START I EMOJI A HEART COS YOU KNOW THAT BUTT CAN FART I POINT AND I SAY WELL THAT'LL BE SOME ELONGATED ANATOMY

RFK Jr. talks about people with autism in such degrading and dehumanizing terms as if they were unproductive parasites. Then he wants to put them on a government registry?

Hi friends! If you love the Internet Archive we need you! #GratefulDead #Music

the pronatalist movement and the anti-women's-rights movement are one, and they go hand in hand with pro-poverty and anti-ed policy that hurts children. have kids, even though they and you will suffer. effective control over women AND the children

I really do believe that one of the most ominously anti-feminist intellectual developments over the past decade is the emergence of the fiction that motherhood, caregiving, and housekeeping are somehow separate and insulated from the exploitations of capitalism—rather than central to it.

Someone once said NextDoor is the social network for dogs if they could type. It’s always “what’s that noise?” and “who’s that stranger?” which is exactly what I imagine my dogs would text other neighborhood dogs.

Riverbank stabilization, lead and asbestos contamination are just some of the projects tribes planned to address before the Trump administration froze funds.

The great thing about fighting back against this stuff is that if you end up losing anyway you get the same outcome you’d have gotten from complying but you don’t have to fucking hate yourself too.

I once told Jesse Singal that he was a Kapo, targeting transgender people with cruel disinformation in such a way that contributes to rising fascism. He blocked me for it. I hate to tell him now that I told him so.

If you live in a military town you could do worse in terms of activism than retyping that tweet to be nice and readable and then printing it off in sizes ranging from 1/8th page to full sheet and leaving them absolutely everywhere in town
