I’m not thrilled that apparently the secret to success in basically every field right now is “be really good at short form video”

Soft power is when you force the British to make 1776 brand cheddar cheese

Alito’s standard for racial discrimination in the TPS ruling, that racism has to be the *sole* motivation to count as discriminatory, is so deranged that it could arguably cover neither Jim Crow nor slavery. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

also de Blasio froze the rent three times! Mamdani has pushed it up to a two-year freeze, but the main thing here is also that he's very good at *taking credit for doing things.* This is praise, not criticism! It's extremely important for politicians to do this.

You have to admit, fighting a full-blown war in the Middle East, but only when markets are closed, is a real innovation in the history of warfare

Mel Brooks spent the last 40 years entertaining me and that's amazing because 40 years ago he was 60.

OK babes, I'm currently reviewing this contract for free for y'all, here we go: "But this was signed with the previous ownership--" BOOM! SUCCESSORS CLAUSE!

Eat Shit, Dundon

the opposite of "fromsoft" is "to hard". which interesting because that's what their games are

If you ever bought McPixel, you can play McPixel for the rest of your life. If the store is gone let me know I will show you where to get it. If you ever pirated McPixel and the torrent tracker is gone, let me know and i will show you where to pirate McPixel.

Looks like u need to defrag ur notebook

It is recommended to start a playthrough of Paper Mario: The Origami King by dying 17 times in a row. The game has a hidden pity system that applies discounts to accessories. Dying 17 times allows Mario to reach Maximum Pity for a 90% discount, saving a lot of money over the course of the game.

I especially love this diagram.

one of my least favorite left-slopulist talking points is “after Trump, the president will be able to rule like a dictator (from the left)”

It's shameful how many people act like it's okay to spout antisemitic smears if they are aimed at Jews who are critical of Israel.

I resent the video-fication of podcasting. That's just a TV show. Podcasts aren't supposed to be for hot people. They have everything else

Gregg gets it correct here. “New OMB grant rule” sounds nerdy. But this is a huge and insane plan. This is the Trump admin writing down their goal of fundamentally changing the relationship between government and society. Funding for everything will be taken over. 1/

The iPhone price going up is going to be the thing that makes normal people catch up to the RAM crisis the same way power bills were for data centers. You can avoid games, you can’t avoid phones.

ARTISTS! Let’s do an art share! Despite all the horrors, we still need to also make room for joy and beauty. And we have carousels now! Let’s share, support, and find each other! Spread the post to reach the most! 💙

made more dwarves ⛏️⛰️

It's really astonishing how Big Tech Investors consistently made only losing bets in the gaming market for over 15 years and still get treated like thought-leaders in the press. On-Live/Stadia? EGS? VR/Metaverse? Blockchain/NFTs? AI? Fool me five times, shame on, er, can't get fooled again.

haha you're the same age as people you used to think were old as fuck

Happy #makeaterriblecomicday I had to draw this.

Years ago I was playing a tabletop game with a friend and he forgot the word “elves” so he called them “land vulcans” and I think about that a lot

Why would you pay $80 for GTA VI and get one game when you could buy UFO 50 for $25 and get fifty games

They’re calling it the least comprehensible achievement of all time.

So jealous of the lawyer who had this walk into their office..

the president is a goon

this is a great illustration of one of the fundamental insights of democracy — that there is no such thing as "the people" and that majorities are elusive and ever shifting. no election, no decision, is final and treating an election as a final decision is profoundly undemocratic.

Technically, they’re Remains now.

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

The crowd in that room ROARED when he said "They are the same job."

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet-bul... The UK's constant year round dampness that in normal weather simply makes people depressed and alcoholic, in a 40C heatwave literally makes human life thermodynamically impossible. Just as inhospitable to human life as a wildfire, except infinitely more moist.

It's easier for media to portray the election as an attack on American Jews than to delve into what NY-10 really was: The second most Jewish Congressional district in the US having a referendum between two Jewish candidates on what it means to do Jewish politics in the age of Trump and Netanyahu.

Common mistake, Balogun and FIFA are actually trying to implement *Shakira* law.

damn. valve is at the mercy of industry players that dwarf them to such an extent they just have to deal with whatever they're being charged for access to the market? that sounds rough. can't imagine what that's like kotaku.com/valve-says-t...

“We’re all trying to find the guy who did this” - ChatGPT

Tax the Rich is a moderate position. Rule of Law is a moderate position. Abolish ICE is a moderate position. Impeach the President is a moderate position. What is radical is accepting fascism without a fight.

also like this is obvious but just to say it so it has been said, in much of America Jewish people and Muslim people are natural allies because the same nightmare-ass white Christians are targeting BOTH OF THEM and are the ones who benefit politically when either Jews or Muslims get framed as Scary™️

I will just say, from Oregon, that to me a big part of why Mamdani and Lander blew up on a national level was that their shared values, mutual respect and solidarity across faith traditions (even while running against each other!) was like everything beautiful about both New York and America

You know very well that 85% of Jews don't support AIPAC, not even close. You also know that AIPAC doesn't even claim to be a Jewish group. You also know that there are more "Christian Zionists" in the US, than there are Jews, of any beliefs. You are making US Jews less safe.

Setting a precedent that the sentences for protesting are actually WORSE than the sentences for more direct assault on law enforcement (including murder!), seems like a really, really bad idea. What the heck.
