Also jfc Carl Beijer being transphobic again, did we go back to 2017? The dirtbag left is long dead at this point stop trying to make it a thing again like come on

FWIW, when Consumer Reports started looking at lead in protein powder a few years ago, the subsequent scholarly follow-up yielded much less alarming results. Not saying the new CR work is bad, but I’m waiting to see how it’s received by the toxicology community. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

Finally listened to a Daughters song and was unimpressed, really not feeling the vocal style with this kind of noise rock Given the allegations i'm not exactly compelled to dig any deeper - was this band just Fantano hype? If you want that then smoke Street Sects' End Position imho

Having been immersed in fitness/gym culture for a while now, i think i can safely say that the diets people have the most parasocial attachment to are keto & carnivore Like if you say anything bad about a diet online, those are the two that will have a fucking ARMY in your mentions lol

Everyone who made Blomby Car

Our spirit is retro, but we adapt. In the era of AI, we need to be careful with art we incorporate. Going forward, no stock art will be included in our drafts, so it won't sneak into release. We'll also retain steps of our in-house process. Tks for the critique. We're listening.

I’m not kidding when I say these weird ass costumes and antics are actually an extremely effective tactic from a media standpoint bc when enough people do them, the media can’t fully scrub them out

Another random post: i like to bring up how the 2000s indie rock boom happened right around the same time as the rise of indie wrestling, but i never fully realized the early 90s were the same way People mainly associate that time with grunge/underground rock, but there's also comics!

i had no idea how many ppl still love Fox's Peter Pan & the Pirates(tm) - prob b/c: 1. it was animated by a Japanese studio 2. Tim Curry was in it (voicing Captain Hook, no less!) 3. It was darker than usual kids' cartoons All stuff that nobody cared about back then but gets love now lol

prodigy - the fat of the land (1997)

You know, between The Completionist/Sinder/PirateSoftware, i don't think anybody 3 months ago would've predicted the first of those would be the only one to give a decent apology lol (Helps when the dramatubers targeting you nuke their own credibility through other means~)

Quick heads up: ‪/@preventfactchecker.bsky.social appears to be an account run by Jeremy Malcolm or someone else affiliated with Prostasia, as they namesearch that org and will spam talking points in your replies

good news, we can see posts from banned people from bsky (jay level of ban, as it happened to link) through https://reddwarf.whey.party (and they're updated with new statuses) so !!! new discovery !!!

So it sounds like the OG communities here are getting ready to move elsewhere, given the recent behavior of bsky's leadership There's Blacksky & Northsky as alternatives in the works, as i understand it - those use the same protocol as bsky but are run by marginalized communities

The real secret to AEWs success is that it's actually a promo territory. Yeah, the wrestling is insanely good, but that's not why buys & viewers are up. Hangamn & Toni Storm, specifically, are so good on the mic that everyone else has to reach their level or they won't get over as main eventers.

But moreover, when evil corporations don't listen, it is *nobody's job* to police the people who complain about it. They deserve the complaints, because they didn't listen. Cause and effect.

Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot. She has looked out for us for generations, now it’s time to look out for her. Donate if you can: fundly.com/missmajor

This is an absolutely extraordinary, revelatory quote. Why is the NBC affiliate in Portland the only place reporting it? www.kgw.com/article/news...

Wake up today to find out Real Bout 2 got a release on Steam, check it out, it feels laggier than Fightcade and also they used AI art for the achievements lol Shame my favorite fighting game of all time has to be tied to...this

Oh yeah, should post my Real Bout Special tier list from Twitter! Ask me any specifics (well, i know @akumahokoru.bsky.social feels Sokaku should be higher)!

The thing to remember after every stunt Alex Jones pulls from now on is that he's desperately flailing for any attention he can get in a right-wing media space that he helped create but has become increasingly irrelevant in. Give him nothing.

BDS works! also, they're still letting the IDF use their other cloud services, but they're starting to move on this, keep pushing.

Good thread here about sensationalist journalism & Ken Klippenstein's right-wing ties The latter sure seems to be a thing with the Intercept - look at Ryan Grim or Lee Fang, or even Greenwald since he used to be their big star!

Maybe my most shameful music opinion is that i mostly don't care for Faith No More without Jim Martin The guy was a homophobic asshole (esp relevant given they had like the first openly gay member of a mainstream band), but FNM's post-Martin sound reminds me too much of 2000s radio rock =/

Been saying for a while now that we're in a golden age for boycotts, and this could potentially join Tesla & Target in terms of effectiveness!

i think i actually like that peanut butter whiskey send help

every once in a while, i remember that Ultima Online is still running, and has a "Screenshots" page with a grand total of nine images to represent the game that all look like this

Not food-related, but important information! The National Toy Hall of Fame at the Strong Museum (in beautiful Rochester, NY) has just announced the 2025 players' choice nominees for induction into the HoF! Thoughts? See link in replies to cast your vote!

Out of the relatively larger vtubers, my favorite anymore is Ellie Minibot i think because she captures the duality of autism rather than just fully leaning into the girlfailure meta, and vtubing isn't her main job so she has a lot more freedom to say shit lol

btw Costco seems to have the cheapest updated COVID vax. You can get it without a card at the pharmacy and they do take walk-ins. If you’re also uninsured due to the massive amounts of layoffs this year, they also take this goodrx coupon to lower the cost of www.goodrx.com/comirnaty?sr...

i think at least a couple of my followers will get my analogy here, so: A lot of the media class's love for Charlie Kirk comes from the same principle that made Tiki Barber a saint to sportswriters for years: he was constantly charismatic & friendly *to them*

BTW, as someone who has strong ideological disagreements with Gretchen Felker-Martin, DC are still absolute cowards for dropping her and i fully support everyone calling them out for it just sayin

I was in 8th grade when 9/11 happened. I'm pretty sure that's the last time that violence was ever successfully used to stoke the public into lockstep jingoist sycophancy. I watched otherwise nice people become islamophobes because they were told to. Dark times. That's the 9/11 I won't forget.

On September 11, 1973 Pinochet, backed by the US and the capitalist media, overthrew Allende and his socialist project. Castro had given him a gun. The only time he used it was in an event where he killed himself. Modern communists should reflect and learn from this youtu.be/RJLA2_Ho7X0?...

We simply cannot live in a country where the death of hate mongers is a tragedy and the death of everyone else only warrants a shrug.

From my history-nerd vantage point, this feels like we're in 1968 all over again Look up how many riots & high-profile assassinations we had that year if you're not familiar...

This thread here touches on the same stuff i did a while back re: early-onset boomerism from folks my age The "Zoomers are sex-negative" stuff especially chaps my ass since that narrative never had any basis outside of social media vibes, and social media is (in its own way) not real

Sometimes you receive a commission so powerful, you could stare at it for hours. Thank you @hiimbleep.bsky.social for this vision.

www.sixthtone.com/news/1017537 an article of gaming history really., fucking landmark is what it should be.

"Manosphere"... you mean this thing?

Mach Breakers is my all-time fav Namco game! For the unfamiliar it's basically "what if the X-Men had their own Olympics" but anime, and it's the best Track & Field-style game i know of Def bookmarking this to check out later...

Been thinking lately about all the "therapy doesn't work for men" talking points and how that bullshit makes it impossible to have public conversations about real issues w/ that field & the way it's presented to the masses

Now this is a guy i haven't thought about in years, wild that he found a way to fall further than he already had Twitter has left many brains in its wake

man when was the last time i got to talk about a rare arcade game oh, last year actually

a wacky idea i unironically believe is that dead suburban shopping malls should all be turned into small public commuter colleges. most non-anchor stores are a decent size to be a classroom, parking/road access is already there, you even have a food court
