Has that Kevin douchebag from Shark Tank been named in the Epstein files yet? Because he REALLY seems like a guy who would be named in the Epstein files. Or is he just a garden variety rich douchebag? So far, anyway.

So two things... Is the war on protein in the room with us? And these are the same people who whine when others buy meat on assistance.

This story about this lady with no right hand who was accused of driving while holding her phone in her right hand should basically explain why "Well, if you didn't do anything wrong, the cops would have left you alone" is a horrible presumption.

I'm here for all the right wing angry "real fan" dipshits ragequitting all the heroic fiction for being "woke". Let em. Don't correct them. Just let them go read their shitty Gater-made comics and watch Ben Shapiro films.

If MAGA is so determined to erase traitory violent insurrectionist shit? It feels fair for everyone else to just never let it go. Ever.

Review bombing by triggered MAGA snowflakes who somehow didn't get it and thought Homelander was gonna pull some badass near victory out explains those numbers.

I find it somewhat of a cautionary tale that Trump released this list of performers and everyone was "how could they!" and went after them and it turns out several are like "no we're not going and we weren't actually asked."

"I hope this Boys sequel isn't as political..." Ah yes, WW2 era comics are famously unpolitical so sure. Uh huh.

Wait so a Steam Deck now costs as much as my Xbox and a much larger screen to play it on? Pass. I get chip prices are out of control but...nope.

This new horror film Pitfall looks like it might be okay but if they don't swing on vines and have to jump on crocodile heads I'm just gonna be disappointed.

So this Texas Dem is, according to MAGA a gay vegan (gasp!) But their guy likes pedophiles so much he got one out of prison on his watch? Ah yes, the moral majority...

I have come to realize that my antithesis in gaming is a guy who only likes crushing Souls-like indie games with a half assed "meta" story that they refuse to touch unless they can play it multiplayer in 90 fps.

Saw some dude getting interviewed at a con saying gatekeeping is good and necessary to keep the fandom "safe" and "pure" and I'm trying to figure out if his hard drive is mostly creepy porn or Nazi shit. It's probably a mix.

why am I Like This™? 2nd gen attorney. Insomniac. Partially raised by FDR Democrats. Survived a few murder attempts. Raised on punk and outlaw country. Massive comic and film geek. Game designer for 30 years. Moved around a lot. Chicagoan. "Gifted" kid. Childhood and other periods of poverty.

I legit don't think all this divisive nerd shit is healthy. Vids asking fans at cons how they can spot a "casual" or "normie" fan. Acting like its some bar to inclusion if you haven't seen X or read Y. I mean, in my nerd-doms I can craft tests these gatekeepers could never pass, but how silly.

Yeah it's weird to say "Happy Memorial Day". It's also weird to spend a bunch of time online lecturing people about it in times when there's so much more strife and despair. Like maybe just pick one fucking battle occasionally.

Saw one of those "auto-generated captions" for a video about comics talk about "mid-tier soups" and I'm chuckling about the battles of Campbell's Chicken Noodle v. Marchuan Ramen.

I don't give a fuck about your letterboxed or blog review for a film. It's not demonstrative of anything but "rando online didn't like this." So please, stop swinging those around like they matter. I know folks who've written official content for this stuff, I don't need your "keen expertise."

The makers of the first AI film are so confident in their product they screened it in the city of Cannes so they can say it was screened in Cannes and everyone will assume the famous film festival, which did not show it. That's not misleading and insecure at all...

You know if AI gets rid of the "I have this great idea for a book/game/whatever, you just need to write it so we can split the money!" interactions? It might almost be worth it. It won't. But almost.

Any AEW fans who were really bragging on the Fuck ICE chants and such who are now acting like its ridiculous and wrong Ludwig Kaiser may have responded to ICE based threats towards his girlfriend need to admit to themselves it was never about ICE with them.

This Ludwig Kaiser case should be studied. Not for the case itself, but to show how ignorant many folks are about laws, the legal system, due process, etc. Also misinformation. I've seen people claim he beat up a woman, an 80 year old man, etc. Its minor idiocy in this case but its demonstrative.

People might notice that I hold powerscaling with a particular contempt. The reason is simple. If I see some dipshit complaining the comics creators who helped make the characters they obsess over are just "glazing" their creations instead of accepting "reality"? 9 out of 10 times its a powerscaler.

Happy to see MacMillan Audio say in no uncertain terms the newest Joe Ledger book isn't authorized for AI training at all. Hope we see more of that going forward. At bare minimum if AI companies want our work for training as creatives? They need to pay for it.

I keep getting these ads for the Screenplayer app that reads your script with AI voices. Until today, none of the ads actually showed the app working. They just talked up the idea and insisted it's the missing link in getting an agent to love your script. Well today I heard the app in an ad...

I am legitimately amazed the number of people who read a police report, see what one party in an incident claims happens and sagely declare that must be it and start lecturing everyone. Curiously, these same people are never so certain and accepting when they are the other party in such incidents.

Finally saw Dust Bunny last night and greatly enjoyed it. And once again I'm reminded if you have the urge to get Ryan Murphy to do some weird quirky bit of film or TV? Just do everyone a favor and get Bryan Fuller instead. He'll nail it.

I'm gonna be honest, when you tell me the cops arrested a foreign-born pro wrestler in Florida for battery involving another adult male? I do kinda assume the other guy was likely a "Florida Man" type who was probably asking for it. That may not be fair, but it's certainly earned.

So Trump could decide he wants the winners in this UFC fiasco at the White House to kill the losers like he's some discount Caligula and then if they did they could pardon the killer as its sure to be a federal crime. He ALMOST certainly won't do that. But it's hard to say he certainly won't....

I mean this is fair. Mick isn't a homeless guy or his ex girlfriend so Darby will probably be nice to him. But I hope this works out for Mick. Always seems like a good dude.

If you don't want to write things yourself? You don't really want to be a writer. You just want to be thought of as one for some bullshit self deceptive ego trip. This has always been true. Its just now its easier to be an attention sucking self deluding fraud about it.

What is the current headcount for pedophiles among the Jan 6th insurrectionists, btw? Like what's the percentage v. pedophiles in society as a whole? Because the percentages seem...high.

If you're still acting like a Gamergater or Comicsgater or whatever we're calling that shit in rpgs this week in 2026? You deserve your miserable lonely existence. It's been over a decade, get a fucking actual personality.

The mixed ethnicity black/indigenous actress Galyn Görg (who nerds might remember as Kain's lover from Robocop 2) played Helen of Troy in the 90s. But do go on, "everything is woke" morons.

We're a few years out from the serious risk that your surgeon or bridge engineer or financial planner used one of those "let AI do all your studying and research for you" programs to get through school without actually learning what they should. Good luck, everyone.

Instead of calling out folks getting all "Oh poor Fletcher Hanks" over the AI Stardust Eisner thing? I'm just going to say Hanks was an abusive spouse and parent who eventually stole all his family's money and left. The AI thing is a bad idea. Fletcher Hanks doesn't deserve incidental elevation.

"Hey we can be upset about two things at once!" Watches a bunch of people cheer a Sandy Hook truther whiny narcissist beat a smug MAGA stooge. Uh...huh. Sure you can.

UNTAMED WORLDS – Anthropomorphic 🐵 Sci-Fi 🚀 Roleplaying 🎲 https://bit.ly/47rPU4c Dog-faced soldiers, gorilla commandos, chameleon snipers, octopus gunslingers, and other uplifted animals fight to defend a humanity that looks down on them... ✏️ @jackno.bsky.social 🎨 @tachyonart.bsky.social

I predict the washed up whiny bigot will win in the Rousey-Carano fight.

Pick a bond from the photos you already have on your phone...

Yeah that would be crazy. Like giving him a woman partner and several minority partners and having him fight dirty vigilante cops. Dirty Harry would be despised by the type of cop the right imagines him to be. And that doesn't mean he's great, but he's better than that.

Gen X influencer types overusing filters to make them look like weird 80s TV versions of "teens" (like when they'd cast 30 year olds to play high schoolers) should not be allowed to complain about younger generations. There, I said it. Everyone wants to look good but there's got to be some law.

We're probably lucky this Chud the Builder guy is up on state charges or Trump would probably already be telling the feds to let him go and planning to pardon him if anyone tried to do their jobs instead.

Okay, time for Mortal Kombat 2. This is likely to motivate me to finish my fighting rpg.

Apparently 6 in 10 Americans are feeling the effects of high gas prices in some way. From the same study...4 in 10 Americans are lying and/or stupid about economics.

Almost 50 bucks to fill up the tank of my economy compact. My tank was not completely empty, btw. Trump doesn't need to tell us he doesn't care about American financial struggles. It's obvious.

One thing to notice with guys like Patel vs. actual law enforcement is how they talk about cases. Patel? It's all about arrests. Not clearing cases or convictions. Just the initial performance. I doubt he cares if a single actual criminal gets convicted if it ain't growing his arrest #s

Researching an article on AI being used to plan mass shootings and I had a moment where I was confused because the facts didn't match up to what I read before. Then I realized it was a case of using AI to plan a totally different mass shooting and now I hate this timeline even more.

Directive 8020, a new Supermassive cinematic horror game? Don't mind if I do! Just gonna pick this one up. I've always enjoyed these and game reviews have become so erratic there's little reason to check most of them out.

The real lesson from this idiotic "Red button v. Blue Button" thing is that many these days didn't watch shows like the Twilight Zone and it shows. "Push Red, then you live! It's not my fault some idiot pushes blue!" (Watches later as their toddler, clad all in blue, is led off for his selection)
