Fuck this random grunt in particular I guess

Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage. frvr.com/blog/call-of...

holy trinity... some very good movie (re)watchin' about to hit this household

Next on Dispatch...

At the suggestion of @cosmicspooks.bsky.social (and a tip from @wes.readonlymemo.com that it's on HBO Max), I'm starting Baby Assassins Everyday!

I had a music teacher who showed us Night on Bald Mountain (which we eventually played) every year on Halloween NOW I AM THAT PERSON HERE IT IS HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE

The new game Dispatch, from former Telltale directors, is yet another 2025 indie banger. It's funny as heck, with top-notch writing and gorgeous art. I'm two episodes in and they're on par with Telltale's best work (aka: Tales from the Borderlands). And the cast, good lord!

stop da fuckin media thread this guy's skippin zz gundam to watch char's counterattack

DON DRAPER: I grew up in a haunted house. I would put out bowls of spaghetti and tell visitors it was guts. Grapes, eyeballs. One of the older boys, who would lunge at people in a wolfman mask, looked after me. The only time I wasn’t scared was when I was eating Reese’s Pieces.

You cannot have a functioning classroom under these conditions. As I've said before, classroom surveillance has been a much bigger and more damaging change to campus than wokeness.

Built in the 13th century. So that mosque stood for 800 years with every sort of person from every place and every religion in the world passing through Gaza century after century, only for it to be blown up by some shithead loser sitting behind a computer that we probably paid for.

Ezra Klein is trying in this column to argue that Kirk was doing politics correctly if you just ignore the content of what he was advocating. That he was contributing to American democracy by arguing civilly for the subjugation of women, gay people, trans people. It simply doesn’t work.

Wish the news outlets and baseball teams (lol???) rushing to eulogize a D-tier right wing mouthpiece would include some of their favorite inspirational quotes from the guy. Should be easy, right? Show me that soaring rhetoric and big thinking worthy of such veneration

I encourage everyone to look out for their safety and practice good internet hygiene, of course. But some of the scolding posts I've read suggest we can change the awful aftermath of a fateful event by just holding our tongues and being quiet little mice, and that isn't my experience.

I'm telling all of you that they are going to do what they ALWAYS do. What you do or do not say has no impact on what THEY WILL DO AND SAY. [just going to leave that here]

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

2025 got me feeling like an invalid yoshi color

A Venezuelan boat that the U.S. military destroyed in the Caribbean last week had altered its course and appeared to have turned around before the attack started. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/u...

Federal immigration agents were seemingly forced to retreat from a roofing job site in Rochester, NY, after being confronted by more than 100 protesters The workers stayed on the roof and agents drove away in a Border Patrol SUV on four flat tires, which had been slashed

The last time I was at a studio with a layoff, a meeting was derailed because the director asked, with increasing irritation, which engineer was supposed to design a feature that underpinned the whole game. That engineer had been laid off 2 days prior, and no one else knew how to do it.

Stories of people developing psychosis because of AI are going to get more and more frequent and then they'll stop because it will be so common it won't even be worth reporting

This shit gets genuinely uncomfortable and not in a funny way. Absolutely harrowing stuff. Adam starts it off vaguely apologizing for getting emotional and I was like, "well surely this is just him doing a bit" and uhh nope lol

Juzo Itami really knocked it out of the part right from the get-go.

30 years ago today Ghibli released its first feature made by someone other than Miyazaki or Takahata. I see it everywhere, but for more than its underappreciated influence across anime. Whisper of the Heart captures a zeitgeist we are again living through today. On Lofi, AI, and Country Roads:

Slowly driving by a Gamestop and yelling "he gets a really big banana at the end of the game probably" and then rear-ending a parked Honda Civic

Watching Mississippi Masala, the movie Zohran Mamdani's mother Mira Nair directed in 1991 about a Ugandan Indian family displaced by Idi Amin's brutal anti-asian policies, makes the attempts to smear Mamdani over identifying as African on a college application even more pitiful and gross.

He proposes releasing some ICE prisoners to labor on farms where the employers will “own them” and be responsible for them. Historians have spent decades meticulously proving the straight line between slavery and modern capitalism’s concept of the laborer—or we could just let them say it.

fucking do it if you haven't already.

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza. Truly an atrocity built on atrocity. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

It’s somehow still more controversial to be against this than to be for it

Bizarro World, the worker’s paradise

Awful. But there's no bipartisan-savvy, cautiously centrist way out of this. The Republicans are unleashing full police state fascism, throwing the Constitution in the trash and not pretending otherwise. Appeals to their good nature have been rejected for YEARS. What now, Democrats?

Seventy-five Democrats voted in support of a resolution that praises the deportation regime. This is not an opposition.

!! INSANELY GOOD MOVIE ALERT !! Criterion Channel added their June 2025 stuff, which has a bunch of Johnnie To films including EXILED (2006), a genuine masterpiece of HK crime action. An all-timer cast and stylish action sequences make this a must-watch. https://www.criterionchannel.com/exiled
