Despite creating a billion-dollar franchise - with a new $200M budget Hollywood blockbuster launching in a month - the creator of He-Man's family were unable to afford his dementia and care facility costs, and had to setup a GoFundMe. Mattel gave $5,000.

why is there a Volkswagen commercial with House of Pain's "Jump Around" in it in 2026 The car doesn't even jump

Because there’s no legal remedy that in any way mitigates the harm. No corporation that has mishandled your data will ever send you the money they cost you. People who exploit that data are often in another country. The onus falls entirely on the victim to prove they didn’t buy six new TVs.

In my restless dreams, I see that place: Silent Hill Drive.

I have defeated Rockman dot EXE Honestly the final boss was a fair bit easier than a lot of the other fights Also though, even for a game intended for kids, the plot here was really dumb You could even say it's.... Mega Dumb

It's amazing how I can feel perfectly fine all day and then my boss comes into the office and 20 minutes later I'm an anxious, angry mess for the rest of the day

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

He kept getting pulled over because a db typo switched a "0" with a "O" and Flock Safety kept flagging him as wanted. This could be a life or death situation if a cop is in a mood. End Flock. End mass surveillance. Learn about your local cameras here: deflock.org

Blue fascism strikes again

we're not even pushing the downright punitive taxes yet and they're shitting their pants. these are modest revenue-raisers and they're losing their fucking minds! all the more reason to go whole hog and destroy these people who oppose even our most moderate plans

The Iranian schoolgirl, the cancer patient whose clinical trial was cancelled, the African AIDS patient who can't get treatment anymore — none of these are "real" to our media elites. Can't imagine themselves in that situation or visualize it. But "panic at the fancy gala!" on the other hand,

The Forever War (1974)

old aerti art <3

the natural move from “bad people deserve state violence” to “victims of state violence must have been bad people.”

God this power plant level in MMBN1 is the worrrrrst Invisible floors Trial and error puzzles with limited use items And of course random battles every 20 seconds Just a master class in bad design

They don't generally give out the death penalty for a failed assassination but in this case I think an exception can be made

There was a mass shooting this morning at Indiana University that has left nine injured. The Indiana Daily Student has been facing pressure by Republicans and school administrators to shut down the print edition all year. Why isn't Donald Trump or legacy media corps reporting about this huh?

Remember when Ulysses Grant made that big speech about how the White House was in dire need of a well-fortified ballroom

Civilian infrastructure. They mean to destroy, pillage and occupy. There's nothing more complicated about it than that.

They wouldn't have been traumatized if they didn't go to the Fascists' Ball in the first place

Why can't anybody fuckin hit this guy? Does he have luck-based superpowers like fuckin Longshot?

Been playing Mega Man Battle Network 1 I've only played the third one before, and that was like 20 years ago one thing I forgot is how ridiculously high the encounter rate is which is especially annoying when you're in the middle of trying to solve a puzzle intended for fifth-graders

This is a very good quote from someone who has represented many many people put to death by our government. Also -- South Carolina has already executed someone via firing squad and other states have it on the books.

AI identified her as the suspect in a crime spree in states she had never been to. she was in jail for six months before she even got to speak with an officer and they instantly were shown they had no case. she lost everything—her house, dog, car, and was left stranded in north dakota.

It's the 12th century but I love this nobles ball where the floor of the ballroom broke and everyone fell in the shit storage underneath and 60 people drowned: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erfurt_...

They didn’t just double tap. They hunted her like an animal. First they sent her death threats. They struck her, then followed her to where she tried to take shelter & struck her there. They struck the rescue workers who came for her & only after hours, after she died, did they allow retrieval

Just a reminder that this shit is still happening Not only are we deporting people who in most cases have committed no crime, but we're going to great expense to send them to a country on another continent where nobody knows them or speaks their language

I always liked Homer's reply here: "Seems like the classy thing would be not to draw attention to it." He's inadvertently hitting on something that's true of most rich people in modern times: they don't have "class" in that way. They're venal and cruel and delight in the suffering of others.

This is just one step removed from The Party announcing that two and two make five

I hated serial killers until I got that first rush of my hands squeezing tighter and tighter around a helpless delicate neck

Nothing to worry about, just the Heritage Foundation publishing an article on how the Republican Congress can refuse to seat Democrats www.heritage.org/election-int...

Can't sleep so for some reason I'm looking through my twitter archive, which only goes back to 2022 because I somehow lost the one I downloaded before I deleted my account I sure did like to live-tweet movies as I was watching them back then What an insufferable dork

An update: it seems like Sigma Star Saga DX has added the required disclosure and LRG has also reached out to me about what to do going forwards. Looks like this is going to be resolved.

Man itch.io's search function is so bad I'm searching for games that I wrote down that I'm interested in from bundles I bought and it just doesn't come up with them I understand a really generic title like "Eldritch" might not come up with the right one but even unique titles often don't pop up

Reminded of this story.

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was killed today in a targeted Israeli strike. The IDF fired live rounds and stun grenades at the Red Cross ambulances trying to reach her. She is the 4th journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March. Photo via X @HindRFoundation.

A group of Ecuadorian fishermen survived a US drone strike, were detained at gunpoint, phones wiped, ship blown up, disappeared to El Salvador, then released without charge. “They knew we were fishermen. Even the Salvadorian authorities said things had been handled very badly.”

It's very convenient to have a hypothesis about behavior you disapprove of that rests on the assumption that none of the people involved come by their opinions honestly

Outrageous. @chiosse.bsky.social was protecting one of his neighbors from eviction, as a result of deed theft — a plague in Central Brooklyn right now. There was no reason for NYPD officers to roughly throw him to the ground. It sure doesn’t make anyone safer. Release him now.

@why.bsky.team to >300K users:

As part of the restoration of the rule of law, every lawyer in the Trump admin who touched this file needs to go to jail. Sanctions and disbarment are what you do for private abuses of the legal system. Abusing the government power of criminal indictment is another matter, and they keep doing it.

Got nothing to do at work so I'm just idly looking at Star Trek paraphernalia on Ebay This Locutus figure looks fuckin great Not $435 of great, though ebay.us/m/eDjeCj

Saw a Cybertruck on my way home yesterday that had a Rivian logo on the back Sorry dude, you're not fooling no one with that If you're going to spend $100,000 on one of those ugly Nazi deathtraps you may as well own it

Remember, kids: you can give a politician or bureaucrat billions of dollars but it's not legally a bribe unless you write a little memo in the corner of the check that says "for helping us ban sunshine" or whatever

Watching Raising Arizona Every single character in this movie so far is a complete idiot Though come to think of it that's true in a lot of Coen brothers films

In unfortunate news, one of the missions I work on, NASA TRACERS, is on the chopping block in the budget proposed by Trump and Vought. A functional pair of sats that would just outright be shut off because the current federal government is anti science and anti exploration.
