Film you’ve watched more than six times with a gif. Hard mode: no Star Wars/Trek, HP, LOTR, Marvel.

Okay, we did movies and games. Now tell me what books you've read more than once. (I had to buy new copies of the whole trilogy because I wore them out in middle/high school.)

Combination non-profit after school center and gaming cafe with homework help and game tournaments. Give kids a safe third space with quality food, co-op entertainment, and somewhere they can get help with schoolwork.

We have already memory-holed the nightmare below and it happened less than a week ago. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

man fuck this tbh. we got so many hungry people around here, people who need help, people falling through the cracks and yall building a rooftop beach club. raleigh isn't special like this it's the norm. growing the city at the expense of its citizens. dirty shame

There is a direct throughline from this and the rise in global authoritarianism. Authoritarianism is actively hostile toward the arts and intellectualism, and thus imagination. When people say that AI is a “fascist project,” this is explicitly what they’re referring to.

I'm constantly impressed by and filled with respect for Yoshi-P and the entire team working on @en.finalfantasyxiv.com. Incredible keynote. I can tell they truly understand their community and the game itself. I am extremely excited for the future of this game!!

ASTARION BACKSTORY BOOK NARRATED BY NEIL??? LIFE IS WORTH LIVING

This is disingenuous "both sides" reporting and I hate that it's so normalized here in NC. That school district wasn't "grilled" or "put on notice." It was explicitly targeted for not being politically conservative enough.

Full disclosure: I would spend more money than I am willing to admit on a case like this IF it allowed me to use my Lodestone ID and they'd pull my WoL with Glamour into this image. Yes, I mean like "Figure Prints" for PC cases.

They can bring back Blockbuster and VHS, but it will not make you a teenager hanging out with your friends on a Friday night again, without having to worry about how to pay your rent or whether you're about to get laid off or if that persistent ache is just age or something more serious.

Suggestions on a legit local (North Carolina) charity that actually helps trans people? After seeing the ripe bullshit that Brianna posted yesterday, I am feeling the need to do something material about it.

It bears repeating: North Carolina law bans teachers from striking or bargaining as unions, limiting how they can push for better pay and benefits. Educators are protesting on personal time and urging lawmakers for change. #NCed

Without stating your age, post a movie that released when you turned 18.

The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.

This country runs on so much racism that it will never ever cop to and that will always keep it behind in progression to the rest of the world. I’m old enough to remember when Japan was the big marketshare boogeyman of the 80s. Nowadays its China. Anyways, free market for whomst? “Yay capitalism”

Visual novels already exist. And they're infinitely better than this slop.

How is THIS, of all things done in Florida, illegal?

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

I was once catching up with a few people whose careers I respect to get some thoughts about what to do next and one of them said "You know, your next thing doesn't have to be bigger than your last thing." And it remains one of the most creatively freeing things I've ever heard.

Can't get over this cover. Mac knocks it out of the park every time.

By the time Disney gets around to making a movie in KPop Demon Hunters’ shadow re: girls, women, and how they look/are animated, Sony and universal might’ve already moved on to breaking some other theoretical animation standard

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

I like bluesky because it feels so much like tumblr 1. barely works 2. userbase is annoying (affectionate)(not that affectionate) 3. being queer on here feels like I’m actively participating in ruining some tech company’s investment

Yeah that’s how that works. It’s as designed.

The TV ad from 1971 about the Vietnam War holds up extremely well nowadays.

you will never not convince me that the otome ""crisis"" has been co-opted by terfs & propagated by ppl who don't realize it. ppl were fine with games like our life & adwd for yeaaars and suddenly now that we're in an anti-trans panic theres a huge influx of ppl hating pronouns in otome games. hmmm.

Depressing thrift store tip if you need it and can manage transport: go to thrift stores in rich neighborhoods. Not only do rich people have a tendency to chuck out perfectly good stuff after a wear or two, fewer people go there on average.

Blindspots for Millennials 😅 IMO: it’s pretty accurate.

When my youngest went to the pediatric ER after a reading in the low 80s, they were SWARMED by doctors/nurses who instantly tried to get it back into the 90s as soon as possible. LOW FIFTIES??!?? My heart stopped reading that. They need to be held personally responsible for this. ALL OF THEM.

Got rid of my kid's smartphone and bought them a smartwatch instead. Bought them a TV that has a built-in DVD player and no apps. Bought them a boombox and some of their favorite CDs. They love it.

Wow. I can't even explain why, but the "Phoenix" routine by the Japanese ice dancers Yoshida and Morita brought me to tears. Absolutely beautiful.

Man... go away. 😞

I don't think a grandma should have to do DoorDash to pay for her husband's cancer treatments

A friend and former coworker's indie company has launched their second co-op tabletop Kickstarter today, and it's a fun one with giant robots and monsters! If that piques your interest, I definitely recommend you check it out. :)

Add another pin to the JD Vance kill wall.

THE FUCK YOU THINK WAS GONNA HAPPEN LIGHTING KEROSENE IN A GLASS CHAMBER 🫨

fandom has always been built on complete sincerity. online culture has become allergic to the very notion of earnestness, and it's making fandom spaces miserable. the sooner you free yourself from the shackles of shame around sincere fannishness, the more joy you'll find

Why didn't no one tell me that the ice dance pair for Japan's team event at the Olympics this year did their routine to DDR music???! 🥰

Plus the erosion of their prospects for a stable future and consolidation of wealth/power by sociopaths with literally damaged brains. And the perceived inability to affect change about either of these things.

This is such a great photo. Probably the best of all the #ArtemisII photos. Diversity, international collaboration, humanities, science, art, engineering, the desire for exploring, the drive of human curiosity, the reward of years of dedicated hard work, and just pure joy. It's all in there.

Ah, crap, another collision. We might have to reload this save, chat.

It really cannot be understated just how much @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social have failed to rise to the occasion. History will look back at them as tremendously weak in the face of authoritarianism. If they had any honor, they’d resign their leadership roles.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO CHECK FOR YOURSELF. I already did that and now wish I hadn't, because it's real and is very clearly a brutal murder. Watching videos like that can damage your mental health, so don't do that to yourself. 2/2

Trump just posted a snuff film. It is a security camera shot taken outside a convenience store. A woman exits from right and pauses in front of the store for a moment. A Black man (I mention his race only because I'm sure that's why Trump posted this) exits a car and attacks her. It's real. 1/n

Doki Doki Literature Club is a widely celebrated piece of videogame art, discusses deeply difficult topics in sincere and meaningful ways, and Google Play needs to revert the removal of the game immediately.
