I am trying to post more about video games on here as it's likely my biggest interest outside of being a dad? So here's a thread my semi-unfiltered thoughts on Summer Game Fest and State of Play 2026, knowing that I mostly care about the Nintendo Direct whenever that happens 🧵

Could anything ruin the vibes in Madison Square Garden for Game 3? Well, imagine if a half-alive racist who everyone hates decided to show up and make the whole night about himself.

I adore Wemby’s vulnerability and nakedness when it comes to his emotions, and I also wish that KAT would get the same level of appreciation for doing the same thing.

I still remember showing this movie to my wife early in our relationship, she went out of her way to say "wow this is the coolest super power ever" and I had to cover my face to not give it away. She gave up on the movie REAL fast after he was gone lol

I just went 81-1, think you can go 82-0? www.82-0.com/share?id=5G1... Can't believe THIS team is 81-1

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

whenever i think "i own enough t shirts already" i see something like this

Down to the last minute details

Alex covers the four best ones by far, but I will add in a couple of ones I remember distinctly. Also not pictured, Lori Grimes in the Walking Dead comic

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

Not hanging the earring from the bunny ears is making me unreasonably upset

My all time fave from Justice League International #8

Not only did two neo nazi teens attempt to copycat the Christchurch mass shooting, the world's richest man falsely blamed trans people for it. Not a single outlet covered that he spread that disinformation.

Sure, Bluesky has its issues, but every time I look at Threads I see the worst content I’ve ever seen in my life, and every time I look at Twitter it’s somehow even worse than that, so

Love that the Star Fox reaction is the opposite of Mario Kart World's original reaction MKW: "Wow this looks so cool they made an open world Mario K--80 dollars?!? Drop the price!" Star Fox: "Ugh god StarFox 64 AGAIN? Why do the look so weir--50 bucks?! ya know what I'll give it a try"

I find it interesting that the thing that most LGBTQ youth say is important is to respect who they say they are. Allyship gestures such as flying a pride flag or posting on social media ranked the lowest.

IT’S STAR WARS DAY SO YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS

happy star wars day to this tweet in particular

This is interesting because it challenges two widely held political assumptions: 1) that people love it when everything at the supermarket is at least $8.99 and 2) that the easiest way to win voters over is to go on TV every day and say that you need to build a big event space or you'll die.

"The Court is thus working on two fronts: shielding the leader of the anti-democratic movement from accountability while simultaneously dismantling the electoral rules that allow the majority to vote his party out" 🎯

I hear they’re delaying GTA 6 another three months to put this woman in the game

Dale Eaglesham’s perfectly choreographed fight scene from JSA #14 (2007). Johns/Ross during their Kingdom Come pseudo sequel. The movement here is so good, particularly those last two pages.

I’ll do you one better

Someday...

one avoids stanning, and sorry to bring twitter over here, but we fucking stan

We have maybe like 5 politicians in this country that are good and admirable and she’s easily number one.

She took a half step back and then stepped AT this dude. ICE needs 30 masked guys each with their own body armor and assault rifle to even approach this level of courage.

Please pay attention to what's happening in Minneapolis, Minnesota. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY Reposts are appreciated.

The terror that ICE and CBP have inflicted on the children of the Twin Cities is, by itself, a crime of scandalous proportions that will forever stain this country's moral fabric, and all those responsible should never know another day of peace. www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

I grew up Catholic and was terrified by the concept of hell. Now that I’m older, it’s a source of hope.

Well, it’s the 9th anniversary of this today. No special reason for mentioning it now, obviously

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis. #iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls

I wrote about The Tantrum State and living in it. Personally I do not care for it very much. defector.com/fascists-are...

the question to ask about this is, okay, he wants to cancel the midterms. how does he get the VA state board of elections to cancel the midterms? how does he get the georgia board of elections to do it? how does he convince republican house members to quit their jobs and give up their paychecks?

I wrote about the truth www.postingandtoasting.com/knicks-featu...

new york city is Real America. los angeles is Real America. chicago is Real America. minneapolis is Real America. seattle, portland, detroit etc etc. sick of this framing that it's otherwise. shut the fuck up

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “The chaos that ICE and the Trump administration have brought to Minneapolis made this tragedy sadly predictable,” writes Jacob Frey, the city’s mayor.

Broke my thumb on a high five

Looking forward to the feature adaptation of these court proceedings, “My Cousin Winnie (the Pooh)”

Rob Reiner is so much more than just a director, but I am struck at his ability to be so versatile during that great span of movies he made. Rather than dwell on the constant, horrible conversations, I want to celebrate someone who I hope will be remembered as an artist for real human emotions 🧵

naturally one has to say “ok fuck this” about the president’s deranged post but let’s always remember to then be pivoting to the actual subject when he tries to shift the focus over onto himself, which is always what he’s doing

Wrote about how the late, great Rob Reiner had the most impossible 7-movie beginning to any director's career, and yet that's not even what he was most famous for:

Man, he is such a little loser, isn't he. Just a little pathetic loser.

I’ll say this about the constant “who knew” Walmart ads—at least they’ll finally get people to agree with me when I remind everyone that “Who Are You” is a terrible The Who song
