This one hits hard.

I've owned a PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4, and PS5. I owned a PSP Go. I owned both models of Vita. I even briefly owned a second PS2 for playing import games. Sony, you gotta give me a reason to buy your next system and "We're firing every studio that makes games that you like" ain't it.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

got some vet bills and car stuff to handle this month while my partner whittles away at all the paper from insurance companies & hospitals from a broken leg. any support from commissioning me, backing me on patreon, or simply sharing my work with someone in your life is appreciated.

AOC: We are going to have to reckon, as a country, with this time. And I hope that that reckoning includes prosecution of people who are involved with the lawbreaking and human rights violations they are knowingly engaging in right now.

Layoffs just hit their highest start-of-year total since January 2009 — the height of the Great Recession — according to data tracking firm Challenger. Meanwhile, CEO pay and corporate profits continue to hit record highs. Does anyone still believe that trickle-down tax cuts create jobs?

The office of the President of the United States has been vacant since Jan 20th, 2025. Amendment 14, Section 3 makes that clear. An insurrectionist cannot hold office except by assent of 2/3rds of Congress. When the office is once again filled, every illegitimate EO & law will be undone.

This is Milo. He has the reflexes of a sloth and the composure of a statue. Learning catch is going to take a minute. 12/10 (TT: milocrazy8)

Rainy memorial ride for Alex Pretti in #BellinghamWA today!

genuinely stunning image

Amazing! Way to go Minneapolis!

Davos, Switzerland, the World Economic Forum.

I think this sums it up. He is a laughing stock around the world. “A festering carcass of American rot. A rotting pumpkin.” Thank you, Oliver from the UK👏

It's no longer left versus right or even Democrat versus Republican. It’s now democracy versus oligarchy. Freedom versus dictatorship. Right versus wrong. People are awakening to this new reality — and they're speaking up. The sleeping giant of America is roaring.

“It was not unanimous. I was muted and not allowed to speak.” 🤔

The world's richest 0.001% now control 3x as much wealth as the entire bottom half of humanity combined. 56,000 wealthy individuals have more than roughly 4 billion people. Read that back.

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

Im really happy with how the eyes turned out for this. I know its simplistic and just one dot, but... yeah

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

Fishing Vacation crossed 250 reviews! I feel like thats a pretty cool milestone. Especially considering its 250 more reviews than I thought it'd get. Anyway, thanks everyone!

Sits down to play piano for a few minutes. Three hours later… where did the time go?

These are the cities we are advocating for, but with bikes and transit.

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

Today is Scottie's birthday! 🎂🎉 What better way to celebrate than wishlisting The Third Shift on Steam!! store.steampowered.com/app/2079480/...

It's 48 hours since Little Rocket Lab launched, we've been top of New and Trending for the entire time, 94% rating on Steam, huge player numbers, big numbers on Game Pass, tons of streams and YT videos... and we've still received next to no press at all The press for smaller games is just dead.

What a bunch of pathetic losers. Threatened by a protester in a goofy frog costume. Dancing frog FTW! Oh yeah ~ NO KINGS protest is scheduled for October 18.

Like any bully, Trump is fundamentally a coward. When he feels humiliated, he lashes out. Every authoritarian action he is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity. He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that." Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like.

Open for work! Unfortunately, I just found out that all funding and grants for my 2025 projects are canceled. Would love the opportunity to continue the musical journey started with #Ultros. Comfortable with #GameMusic #GameAudio. Retweets appreciated linktr.ee/ratvader

Gilroy is a political & cultural hero. Andor is a masterpiece. Major kudos to Dan for standing up to the oppressive censorship we're seeing from his distributor Disney. True courage is putting principles before profit.

A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security on 100% of their income. A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security on less than 1% of their income. Instead of raising the retirement age, we should scrap the Social Security tax cap.

A protestor outside of Walt Disney Studios today after they suspended #JimmyKimmelLive “Did you even watch Andor?” (via westernwilder | TW)

Jarvis: I hate to say this to my friends here at CNN, mass media is dying, so they're taking the last of these vestiges of institutions that matter and they're trying to turn them into propaganda organs under threat from the head of the FCC

Time to cancel any Disney related services! If you are on Disney+, Hulu, or ESPN I suggest you cancel!

This. This this this this this. Build your shit. Own your shit. It's the only way forward. Nobody there but you.

W O W Trump previously said he wouldn’t even call Governor Walz about the assassination of Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman because it would be a “waste of time”. Note, Melissa Hortman was an actual American politician and not a podcaster. Talk about selective outrage and ofc, hypocrisy.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Presidents? SCOTUS grants them immunity. Corporations? SCOTUS makes it easier for them to pollute. Billionaires? SCOTUS says they can buy elections. But if you look Latino, speak Spanish, or work at a low wage job, SCOTUS says you can be abducted by masked agents. Hello?
