Brief return for a moment. I find it hilarious that one user has put me on a "fascist trash" blocklist...for the heinous crime of not being a tankie and thinking communism doesn't work outside of small scale. Fuck me for not wanting state totalitarianism in ANY form, left or right, I guess. :-P

Came back to Bluesky for a moment just to block the bad-faith bullshit the US government is pulling. Get fucked, Trump Admin 2.0. Back to hiatus.

Welp. Until Bluesky gets a new CEO, I'm not using this service. Find me on Discord.

Dutch late night TV has its take

Super Mario Bros. turns 40 today. Enjoy feeling old~

I find the death of Charlie Kirk sad; while I do not mourn him, I simply shake my head sadly at the loss of life. He did not give the world much, and the world hasn't lost much. Regardless, it's a damn shame it happened. Waste of life, on a human-dignity level only.

Hey, France? Poland? Nepal? Stay safe y'all.

@kaiserneko.bsky.social Get in touch with Discord's "Trust and Safety" team. That's their moderation crew and they're the ones who can help you. There's a form somewhere on their website, I'm sure; push come to shove you can email them. (replying to you this way as you have replies disabled)

I love the smell of consequences in the morning. Thank you, @dragoncon.org

"How can we communicate with optimism about the future … when we're living in the here and now where American democracy is in peril? … And we're supposed to ignore it? Leave it to others to wrestle with …? No no no no no. … "That is tonight's Last Word on my last day at the Washington Post."

Another rock legend gone. Rest easy, Mr. Kooymans.

First VShojo completely fucks the couch now Ozzy's dead. Fuck.

I've been keeping aprised of VShojo's bullshit. Holy fucking hell. I think they're legitimately cooked.

New bombshell from my investigators on Epstein's sex trafficking operation: the Trump administration has an Epstein file detailing 4,725 wire transfers and almost $1.1 billion flowing through just one of his banks. Hundreds of millions more through others.

That feeling when you find an old buddy of yours on here...and find out he's kinda gone off the deep end in regards to the Ukraine War. God, Mike, where did it all go so wrong?

The Big Fugly Blight is not as bad as it could've been. But it's still barbarous handouts to the rich at the cost of the poor. **If you voted for Trump or any Republican on the national level, you voted for this, intentionally or not.**

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy. I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

Remember, Americans: if you voted for Trump, you voted for all this. You voted for the felon and all his enablers, whether you intended to or not. I hope you're happy with yourselves and your "dey took ur jerbs" attitudes, because we're all suffering 'cause of you.

The Republican Party can eat my entire fucking ass. Fuck every last GOPrick, every last Rethuglican, every last Trumpista. They've ensured the proverbial face-consuming leopards will be gorged for life.

Hey @pushinguproses.bsky.social, dumb question: Do you still have Needles, your conure?

In Bell, CA an entire community stood up against ICE, including the local police and the fire dept. The fire truck appears to not allow ICE vehicles to move forward nor remain and pushes forward to escort them out. A police car also helped with escorting. /

Oh hey, it's @jd-vance-1.bsky.social. See any nice couches lately?

BREAKING: The White House lashed out at the creators of this ad for "fear-mongering". It must have really struck a nerve. Maybe they don't like being outed as fascists. You know what to do: SPREAD THIS EVERYWHERE! #MAGAKidnappers

Trump Mobile ad leaked...

It's .........very cosplay so far here at Trump's birthday parade. Those wigs must be so damn hot Let's do this! 🧵

A reminder that the anti-vax movement was all started because Andrew Wakefield had invested in an alternative to the MMR vaccine and faked a study to try and discredit it. When that failed and his license was revoked, he pivoted to being a grifter and tricked wellness and religious nuts for profit.

Hi @fijxu.buh.agency, looks like some recent change to the Nadeko Invidious clearnet captcha challenges think I'm a bot or something. I get an error code like "Error: access denied: denied by administrative rule 700c32bb1d8f1226eec17d87341a6d84/240fd705de8a7db7cdaa".

And more generally:

Fuck ICE. Let those Gestapo bastards melt in the LA heat (proverbially). #ACAB #FuckICE

Even mah heretic boi Ramza Beoulve just said.. @infindox.bsky.social @xterra.bsky.social @zerolifex00.bsky.social

Weird they're showing Swan Lake on Fox right now

I've been laughing or grinning like a dumbass for about an hour straight because of this messy Trump/Musk breakup. Fucking beautiful.

hahahahahahahahahahhahahahahaha (breath) hahahahahahaha

guys...GUYS

You could save a life with a simple repost!

apparently Elon's gotten so mad about Grok not answering questions about Afrikaners the way he wants, xAI's now somehow managed to put it into some kind of hyper-Afriforum mode where it thinks every question is about farm murders or the song "Kill the Boer"

Fun fact for anyone in the South: If you've ever wondered what the Jack's chain seasons their fries with, wonder no more. It's literally Flavacol movie-theater popcorn butter-salt. My local Jack's usually just leaves the carton on top of the fry warmer.

Sooooooo yeah fuck Nintendo with a rusty cactus. They've just fucked themselves with the Switch 2. Had so much momentum, then they slammed it to a halt.

I say again: That. Fucking. Blew. Up.

...well that blew the fuck up, Jesus.

Don't deadname people. Deadname corporations instead. It's not "X". It's Twitter. It's not "Spectrum". It's Charter. It's not "xfinity". It's Comcast. It's not "Sparklight". It's Cable One.

Oof. Found out something about the two shows I've been ranting about. The sets are even faker than I thought; they're done by an Israeli company called "Gamechanger", and basically the real show is filmed on a minimum possible set, and all the fancy shit is CG'd in VERY obviously over the real set.

My criticisms of GSN!TTD are amplified for this Bingo Blitz show following it. Val Bertinelli, again, tries her level best but this format is so braindead it's a waste. Plus, the VERY obviously CGI set just feels so very inauthentic, as with TTD. The contestants have to stand robotically still...

The revival of *Tic Tac Dough* is deeply unimpressive. Overreliant on unnecessary 3D effects, obvious canned applause (same with *Beat the Bridge*) really cheapened stakes...Brooke Burns tries her level best hosting-wise (and does well), but the format changes are...not great. <1/2>

Looks like Bluesky's having the "invalid handle" bug again.

I'm suddenly very glad the only thing I've ever gotten from GamerSupps was a free sampler pack.
