We finally have an answer for what that green liquid in Half-Life 1 is

“my passion is graphic design”

There's a certain kind of posting that suggests the user's descent into schizophrenia But nowadays it could easily just be a poorly programmed bot

kid: hey mister, do you have anything to eat? jc: [bowl full of motionless soup flies out of weapon hand and hits kid] kid: aah! aaaaah! [bowl of soup bounces off kid and lands on the ground perfectly upright with a loud metallic clang] kid: the gate code is 5784

I wrote about the Prairieland defendants and the urgency of opposing the extreme sentences handed down on Tuesday. And they likely will not be the last.

Lol played the Wo Long demo (if you haven't noticed I'm trying out a lot of them) Was having trouble with the boss until I switched to the bo staff (which for some reason is referred to as a cudgel) That thing can just completely stun-lock his first phase

Brother the reason they were elected is you haven't solved the problems. Some might even say you've contributed to them

bitch you can't be serious the fragility and pettiness of these people, who aren't content just to strip away people's rights they want to pretend they're Good and Just Doing Law, too, and are deeply offended when people acknowledge otherwise

full pardons for anyone convicted in these nspm 7 convictions should be an express and mandatory part of any democratic platform

Laughed until I (actually) cried at this

Microsoft trying to hide CoPilot behind its back

Kagan points out in the dissent here that Alito is too much of a coward to even put Trump’s supposedly non-racist statements in his opinion.

"Why?" We know why. Because ICE is just the American Gestapo. This is only going to get worse.

this is his gofundme btw. would encourage everyone else who can to chuck this fella a couple quid www.gofundme.com/f/get-artist...

How do you tell someone you like their art except the part where they sometimes draw human faces like they're chinchillas

Played through the Parasite Mutant demo It's... kinda rough First of all, it shamelessly apes Parasite Eve - not just in terms of gameplay, but in that its main character ("Nova") is a barely Legally Distinct version of Aya Brea.

All these Dems complaining about DemSocs winning elections are so pathetic It's always "Vote blue no matter who" until someone actually on the left wins a primary, then it's "Wait not like that 🫤"

The advances in cancer have been so fast that if you’re a doctor who doesn’t specialize in cancer, you simply can’t keep up. There are cancers that I learned are incurable in med school (‘98-2002) that are now cured or managed as long-term issues. Insane levels of ignorance from Peter Thiel 😳

lol at some point @michaelhobbes.bsky.social blocked me and I have no idea why I probably said something that offended his moderate sensibilities either that or I'm on a block list now

Omg look at them go!

My pithy comment: the difference between the Democratic Socialists winning and the Tea Party winning is that the press gave favourable coverage to the Tea Party

Hey it's Buttigieg Votive Candle Guy

An Orlando green card applicant was given permission to travel to Egypt after his father’s death. When he returned, ICE sent him to a PA concentration camp for six months. During which he suffered vision loss and lost 45 pounds. He wasn’t informed of kidney disease diagnosis for 2 months.

Lol oh my no-god This is the "SocDems are the same as MAGA" guy that she's quoting

lol I think my PS3 hard drive may be dying Every time I come out of a game now it gets back to the menu but won't load any of the installed games on the list I have to shut down the system and start it back up to run anything else

Lol get fucked Goldman Don't worry, I'm sure you can get a lobbying gig with AIPAC

Strewn along roadways throughout Ruckersville, dozens of abandoned vehicles sat empty Tuesday as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and Greene County Sheriff’s deputies stopped motorists and made arrests across the community. Here's what we know:

At least half the policy changes of this administration are some dumbasses looking at something they don't like and saying, "That's dumb, why would we do that?" and undoing it And then it blows up in their faces and they say, "Oh."

“The report by the UN independent international commission of inquiry examined violations against Palestinian children since the start of the war in Gaza, and said about 30% of the people killed by Israeli forces have been children.”

A cartoonist named Daniel "Des" Rolando Sanchez Estrada was tried as a terrorist and sentenced to 30 years in prison for having anti-Trump comics in his car. Prosecutors connected him to a 2025 anti-ICE protest he didn't even attend because he was in the same book club as others who were.

Concerned about what amount to life sentences for protestors accused of belonging to a non-existent "terrorist" group? You might want to call your Congressional representatives and tell them so, and that you expect them to publicly condemn this miscarriage of justice.

One of my "favorite" dumb Musk things is his deeply held belief that other people aren't real. One of his first moves after taking over Twitter was to try to fire "ghost employees," of which he thought they were many. He's a murderous bigot but he also thinks Fake People are robbing him blind.

So he's explicitly stating that there is a political motivation to these sentences. Seems like a pretty good basis for an appeal!

Razzum frazzum Played the Onimusha demo It was super easy until I got to the boss, who I ate shit from at least half a dozen times Got him very close to dead but finally just gave up and switched to Story difficulty Which made him a joke Sigh

"he became so obsessed with the idea that his enemies were intentionally growing algae in a pond he'd had rebuilt that it drove him mad and killed him" "yeah, right, and Caligula *actually* ordered his troops to wade into the English Channel and stab the water with their swords. get real, buddy"

François Primeau, a UC Irvine professor, developed mathematical and computational ocean models that helped us understand the ocean's role in global climate. He was killed on his bike by someone driving a car. 🌊

Octavia Butler is trending bc it's her birthday, but when you click on the trending link there's only a handful of posts actually mentioning her or her books I find this is an issue in general on BlueSky; whatever algorithm or whatever is responsible just collates tons of irrelevant shit together

Just a normal morning in our police state

I had to read this so now all of you do too

Honest mistake; she thought it was the Bang Bus

Finished the Adventures of Elliott demo, which was astonishingly long (though I did basically all the optional stuff) First of all, it's kind of absurd how much this game apes Zelda. Like your first upgrade is a boomerang, then a bow, then bombs; the money looks suspiciously like rupees, etc.

Graph of Strait of Hormuz crossings since June 2025. See that little spike all the way on the right? The one that's much lower than the leftward 2/3 of the graph, and immediately crashes back down? That's what the US government and quite a bit of US media tell us is fully open, with normal traffic.

In fairness this is just how people respond to J.D. Vance

Playing the demo for Adventures of Elliott I feel like to make up for Elliott being such a mundane name they gave everyone and everything else the dumbest-sounding names possible

he's so fucking embarrassing and insane I wish he would just die already Not that Vance would be any better

He had not been charged. They kept him isolated and shackled, and wouldn’t let him make a phone call. After over a day, he managed to hook a phone cord with his toes and make a call. When the NYT started asking questions, the government dismissed all the charges against him. 😡

Handful of detainments here by the reflecting pool. They are being done a variety of officers, including Monroe County Sheriff, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma State Police, US Marshals, a county in Texas I can’t make out, and a county in New York I can’t make out.
