It's funny that the nigh-universal generic signifier in animesque/gamer stuff for "suddenly, badass mode activate" is the sudden gleam of glowing red eyes.

My “favorite” (read: I consider it despicable and anyone who says it also despicable) pro-natalist argument takes the form of “natalism critics point out that childhood trauma is inevitable, but what if children suffering is good actually? I’m not a freakish religious zealot I swear”

The podcast ad reads say that Ollipop tastes like my favorite childhood sodas, and that is a vile LIE.

“Null and void.” 🤡 @yahoofinance.com finance.yahoo.com/news/malaysi...

I'd like to speak with trans adults (18+) whose access to transition care has changed due to state and/or federal policy changes. DM, email [email protected] or Signal joyurcaba.91

Please also show love and support to @teamsea3on.bsky.social if you enjoy classic Sonic SatAM!! Support indie artists, they deserve every bit! :)

It's a damn shame that this passion project is flying under the radar. If you love 90s Sonic, please take a sec to check it out! This is made by Stout Productions. - and I'm so impressed by the animation, design, and the sound! #sonic #sonicsatam #sonicthehedgehog www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgMd...

The more I sit on it, the more convinced I am Laika: Aged Through Blood is my favorite video game. Like, period. It made me cry more times than any other game, and that is a perfect rationale for choosing your favorite.

I wrote about the Democrats' attempt to merge tax cut populism with social democratic social policy and why it's a bad idea publiccomment.blog/p/adventures...

yeah this is a big deal

It's actually kinda surprising this only happened the one time 🤔

i think a stab at it could be "I am tired of fucking bracing for the Stove to be Touched and would very much like it to Happen and get the fuck over with so I can focus on triage and understanding what the world will look like and recovery and we can Learn A Lesson for, idk, 20 years if we're lucky"

the last literal decade of my life has been playing chicken / zenos paradox with the stove and we're in the pot that is doing this and it is slowly frog boiling. trying to figure out how many metaphors i can mix, here. anyways i have been experiencing a Frustration & it's hard to put into words

Finally wrapping up #kaijanuary with the Queen of Monsters herself, #mothra! My planned composition didn't have room for her iconic wings, so I decided to put my own spin on the Twin Fairies' outfits by giving them her wing markings. #gojiart #kaiju #godzilla #fanart

Pepper waves hello

what's funny is that "revolutionary group has its wheels come off once its members become too obsessed with the concept of themselves" is a demonstrably real thing that literally anyone can see happen online in real time and is actually a decently good lesson on a didactic level

IQ tests are modern phrenology.

nice antisemitic dog whistle in there about how introspection was invented by the Jews basically but god, these guys are so cooked

One thing you'll notice here is that the things they're responding to aren't any actual philosophy or introspection but the versions of those things taught to students & sold to workaholics. They are completely unable to think about worlds beyond themselves & have decided this is a virtue.

Also the entire point of the Odyssey is turning your back on the iliad, it is the homecoming --the reclaiming of domesticity. Odysseus never wanted to fight in the first place and pretended to be insane to get out of war, he was only found out because he valued his son deeper than his life!

The entire point is that by simply living as a normal person, he recapitulates the entire heroic world of the great books. This is the prose version of pound, by the way. By thinking and living, you can go back in time

I know it’s too late for an Oscar take but my wife pointed out (and I weirdly haven’t seen discussed elsewhere yet) how heavily, like almost all, of this year‘s nominees were about fatherhood.

The rest of the world to Trump:

Not really the point, but I appreciate that Frank's Zoom background makes it feel like he's appeared to you during an ayahuasca vision to deliver this message.

Just early voted and as I grabbed my ballot, the woman registering people at the next line over yelled out, “We got a first time voter!!” Then all the volunteers broke out in cheers and I almost started crying? Anyway, don't forget to vote, Chicago!

In honor of WB’s 11 Oscar wins, the studio celebrated with some cookies this morning. My group had nothing to do with these wins but it’s nice to be included 😝 I imagine the live action feature team will do more!!!

Some old photos of Meatball and Mozzarella

also 'without a clear and simple message' is more often 'politically intelligent' than 'politically muddled' unless you want films to be slop for Marxist babies.

Legitimately the deepest philosophical discussion on ego death and craft we’ve ever had on our ha-ha joke-em-up funny book sword review podcast.

Underrated banger. I was disappointed it wasn't even MENTIONED in the recent McCartney documentary.

Today's the last day of the Kickstarter! Get in on all the fun The RiffTrax Experiments has to offer before it's too late www.kickstarter.com/projects/rif...

commission! 🌷🌼🪴🐈 also hiii I'm (sorta) back from my slumber ?? when times get dark I find it oh so hard to be online, to be vulnerable, to be seen. but here's to trying!!! ( ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ഒ

There's a really cool graphic novel you could be reading for Trans Rights Readathon #Booksky

1/5 🧵 Finished Detective Comics 1-26, the issues predating the debut of Batman. The majority were bland stories with interchangeable gumshoes, and the first masked hero, Crimson Avenger, was just a tepid knockoff of Shadow and Green Hornet. Here's a quick thread of strips worth checking out!

***ANNOUNCEMENT*** Coming in late April on Blu-ray in the US from #Puppetoon: #ThePuppetoonMovie (1987)! The Puppetoon Movie is a salute to the Academy Award®-winning stop-motion animated PUPPETOONS™ created by sci-fi fantasy film legend George Pal. Newly created opening and

time to play RE-VOLT on @prozdplaysgames.bsky.social, another rando N64 game i've never heard of, is it RE-VOLTING??? LET'S FIND OUT www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L62...

1/4 This is beyond terrifying, my heart breaks for Jewish students today I was president of the Black and Minority Ethnic Campaign at Cambridge University, and I saw firsthand some of the hostility Jewish students were having to go through as part of my job (down the availability of kosher food)

Interesting how much of the criticism of both Sinners and OBAA is identical. "Politically muddled without a clear and simple message, and more fun and interesting to watch than groundbreaking." I dunno, maybe you guys are going to movies for the wrong thing?

There are many great AI researchers at universities, but they pay a VERY steep price to be able to stay in academia & publish openly “The top 1% of publishing industry scientists now earn $1.5 million more annually than comparable academics, a fivefold increase since 2001” www.nber.org/papers/w34964

The dumbest fuck on the planet is President of the United States.

Its particularly striking because one of the core strains and tensions within the far right movement is its resistance to sending American weapons and soldiers to fight in foreign wars abroad

The thing that jumped out at the Trump Org frauds, particularly the Weissman fraud, is how aggressively ham-fisted they were. My guy you're putting the back-doored in rent not as compensation but as a deduction ON HIS FUCKING PAYSTUB ARE YOU SHITTING ME

one of the reasons why I’m so zealous about landing just one (1) rich person pelt, making one rich person spend the rest of their life in jail and have them and their immediate family’s wealth removed, and have no one buy them out, is: it would change everything.

This Dad joke is for @gailsimone.bsky.social

I promise you a lot fewer Jews would feel unsafe around antizionism if this type of attitude were treated as it deserved.

It's also not true at least not in the path we are currently on. AI is, for now, a machine that turns a well written essay into code. It enhances the female project manager these guys hate so much.

The hippy to fash pipeline himself! The influence of this book is why RFK Jr's career as an environmental lawyer turned disease enthusiast is not really surprising.

This remix is awesome, but the original? Also pretty, pretty groovy youtu.be/mWwMgJ4yCpM
