Hilarious how when turning Mario into a mascot in the 80's, Japan was like ah well he's a happy-go-lucky cute cartoon like Mickey and Ninja Hattori! Then in America they were like OK so like he's a fat old gruff Italian man, what do you think kids?

Awesome how these guys all look and sound evil

This is a real “remembering some guys” episode for people who read Daily Kos every day in 2008

This rules. Absolutely the funniest possible outcome. The president of the United States filling in as the headliner of a concert because Milli Vanilli canceled.

I think one of the problems is that people keep saying conservative when they actually mean racist. No conservative is like, "Oh, I can't listen to Kendrick because I'm actually in favor of a small, limited government that doesn't put money into a social safety net."

eastwood is, without a goddamn doubt, one of the great american conservative artists

Big scandal unfolds as NO horny texts are found on candidate's phone, leading to accusations that he is a big loser

this is entertaining but I must emphasize, *fake*

ya thats what i mean: is "a politician cheated on his wife before he was in politics" newsworthy? in 2026? especially since "sexually explicit text messages" don't even imply that he actually committed adultery. (beyond newsworthy: push alert worthy, which NYT and WSJ both sent out?)

Ya know using comic writers to adapt manga translations wasn't inherently a bad idea, the early Viz stuff is great, I think TokyoPOP was just more cynical about appealing to American kids

I'M SORRY WHAT DO YOU MEAN KEITH GIFFEN

I think we gave up too quickly on the idea of magic coming from computers in fictional settings

Imagining the Republican media strategy meeting this week discussing what talking points about Talarico to distribute and a guy walks up to a whiteboard and writes "SOY?" in massive letters

Prepare your dresspheres and garment grids; it's time for the Final Fantasy X-2 Retrospective! How did the series' first direct, in-house sequel come to be? How does it hold up? And how have the post-X-2 stories affected its legacy? youtu.be/k1o9fmmd2T0

weiss seems to operate much like trump in that she has no idea what expertise is and makes hiring decisions based on how famous someone is

Usually play the LEGO games religiously but I'm bummed there aren't ten million characters in the new one, that was always central to the appeal to me

Cat somehow created an appointment on my phone

Fox reporter to protester: You have a dirty mouth Protester: You are a Nazi bitch

I stick it to those smug poindexters who make the newspaper crosswords by solving their stupid shitty puzzles every day

1% drop rate = I find it in ten minutes 30% drop rate = two hours of grinding before I give up

a lot of people really do say ‘twink’ because they’re not allowed to say ‘faggot’ any more

You'll know I have entered the last phase of my life when I start just putting Tom of Finland art on my wall with zero shame

Some of us just don't like getting colds

You know how sometimes it takes 30 seconds to get this far, and then you spend the entire rest of the day waiting for that last little bit to load? Same principle

WHAT

Sadly, the tale of Rare's first big hit franchise didn't have a toad-ally awesome ending... WATCH - youtu.be/4BfWPvNfdz8

Had a dream that Disturbed re-recorded their entire discography in Japanese phonetically

So fucking funny how Dave Mustaine literally wrote a song about this and now his guy is openly posting about how he wants to do this lmfao. Gullible jackass

Oh she's getting spicy now

I know SMT is famous for its many penicular enemies but like come on man this one just plain has a dick, just a regular cock, how did they get away with that on Famicom

So now that The Boys is over, I think it's time we went in the exact opposite direction, and I nominate Astro City for that

Lmao

When they said the author claimed to have met Carnegie I was like, wait didn't they do this book already? But I was thinking of the one where the guy claimed to BE a Carnegie

Been reading Last War in Albion, I've somehow never really thought of Moore and Morrison as like a sort of magical diad before despite how influential their metaphysics philosophies were on me, cool stuff and glad it's actually very self-aware

the way this reads is so menacing & vibes are nefarious

i shan't be quote tweeting the original quote but this is untrue for many reasons, most notably that your entire life was labor from waking to bedtime. peasants weren't clocking in for 5 hour workdays in the field and then scrolling reels on insty all evening.

Hey so is it a good or bad thing when the head of state builds a fortress palace for themselves that they never need to leave

Comics I had zero interest in when they came out suddenly become fascinating relics to me once they're like ten or even five years old

This is the most stereotypically "Grapevine, Texas" thing I've ever seen
