too much of the economy now is not built around solving a problem or meeting a need

it just happens so fast

jc denton: paul. i'm gonna have the last grapefruit seltzer. paul denton: don't do it, jc. you haven't eaten all day and will give yourself an upset stomach. jc: you underestimate what i'm capable of. 30 MINUTES LATER jc: paul. paul: what is it? jc: my tummy hurts.

Hollywood doing the new red scare except making it about Israel is going to mainly harm leftist creatives, but will also fuel the renewed Nazi-style antisemitic paranoia on the right. A real shit sandwich of a situation

Wherever you go There you are

People are like "wah wahh Cyclops sucks cuz he cheated on his wife and makes me do my homework and go to bed on time" when, actually, Cyclops's real toxic trait is a bourgeois affinity for expensive cars.

brain: mcfarlane toys, desperate for new horror licenses, turns towards old point and click adventures me: yes brain: mcfarlane toys mike dawson action figure me: yes. yes. yes.

Solid Snake:

Anti-vaxxers exposing Hays Code ass diseases to the general public is antisocial behavior that at one point would have required compulsory isolation and social exile. Instead, the Raw Milk Typhoid Mary community is allowed to continue their dunderheaded agenda unabated. Unsettles my spirit.

“I’ve got a great marketing plan, we’ll get the dumbest motherfucker in our industry, one that just nobody respects, and we’ll have him say the most asinine thing possible and that will be our pull quote, it’s surefire

since ezra klein is on my mind now: it's funny that in all the debates about Abundance, there never seems to be any dealing with the fact that it has no defense mechanism. what the plan when - not if - developers jerk their chain, use loopholes, renege on agreements? just "they'd never do that."

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

This to me is the game. I don’t care if Schumer doesn’t like Mamdani, but for him to stand silently by while sex pest Cuomo leans into gutter racism and Islamophobia while accepting endorsements from Trump, Musk and Miller is outrageous from the Senate Minority Leader.

Yeah, make your snide little jokes, but this is what really happens to kids when the clocks get rolled back. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vI2e...

for several years i have made a policy out of "no more brianna wu updates". this however is a funny brianna wu update

The stock market is legalized gambling and I genuinely think the system of publicly traded companies should go away.

[remembering the hillary '08 campaign spreading photos to imply obama was a muslim, as an attack on him] mmmmm.

Gavin Newsom seems like a gigantic douchebag. Anybody in power who decides to spend the Current Moment micromanaging transgender people isn’t worth two shits.

really my problem with the traditional game industry is it feels like everything gets put on two poles, both of which are unquestioned: the grimdark fantasies of violence and conquest and the cartoony family-friendly fantasy that's just pure escapism and we don't have to think about anything.

When Guy Gardner eats sugary cereal in Superman (2025), this is actually a reference to the writer Geoff Johns, who was based on Guy Gardner.

people are using chatgpt to write reddit posts. are you so afraid of any creative act that you shit your pants at the thought of writing a phone review? ai losers talk about an intelligence gap that is forming because they are "early ai adopters" and it is so obviously going the opposite way.

Honestly, this is a problem, and yall aren’t ready to address it

You tell me it's about class, not race, yet 300,000 Black women, many of whom clawed their way to a higher economic standing, lost their jobs. But on the flipside, the government has been hiring borderline unemployable working class mostly White people to work

this is what they served in catering on the set of the Tonight, Tonight video

Why is there like, zero buzz for The Lowdown? Halfway through the first season it's been great so far and is the pseudo follow-up to an acclaimed recent show, has big names in the cast, but like, no one seems to be talking about it?

your analysis of this political moment is going to fail if you keep using reductionist labels like "wine mom". first of all, there are dozens of factions just within that one term, from whiskey women to chardonnay chicas, and understanding their unique informal coalitions can take decades of study

This is what they have now. There are no ideas, only "oh you don't like that? Then I'll do it more." That's the sum total of the right's brain trust now

Today and every day

this one goes out to everyone saying bunlith holding a human sized zimmerman shotgun was lore inaccurate 😘✨

People keep forgetting that Dave Brubeck defeated Shou-Lao

the joy of tik tok

I booked a photo session tonight bc I have very few pictures of my family together, but while I’m smiling & holding my children, I know I will hear this mother’s screams. I don’t want my tax dollars supporting ICE agents dragging parents away from car line. And most moms in the US agree with me.

Trump has been illegally bombing boats off the coast of Venezuela. Tim Kaine and Adam Schiff forced a vote on reasserting Congress's role over war powers and ending this reckless warmongering. It failed 48-51. Murkowski and Paul voted yes. Fetterman voted no.

If Donald Trump and Elon Musk had a podcast together... Musk: "So i'm liek, one of the top Diablo 4 players" Trump: "I've never heard of that. What?" M: "It's uh, pretty epic. Diablo 4 [chuckles]"

The administration’s current approach to “the cartels” is bombing civilians who they accuse of being part of cartels and killing them without any arrest or trial. And Bondi just said that they plan to “take the same approach” with antifa as they did with drug cartels.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Born to be a useless piece of shit and watch all this Macross. Forced to get on da computer at my office job.

don't know what this is about and don't really care about joy reid but, as always, this is funny coming from JD Vance, a DEI admit to Yale Law, who has had a wife, great wealth, a senate seat, and the vice presidency handed to him, and who spends all day bellowing with rage.

virginity isn't even real it's a made up concept invented by religious sex perverts

Burger Becky, a trans elder in game development, was recently diagnosed with cancer. When she sets up the inevitable fundraiser to help pay for treatment i hope people will consider giving.

one of my favorite pieces of information is that many old rural alien sightings were most likely just barn owls they saw this little guy peering through their window and freaked the fuck out meanwhile I am trying to make him my familiar

The Japanese Mario 64 official strategy guide is an incredible thing. "Can we make little hand-made dioramas of all the levels?" "Sure, why the hell not."

Let's be clear a what's happening here: the "censorship" and "bias" narrative is being extended to Wikipedia bc the far right knows that getting bullshit into LLMs is how to shape reality as "answer engines" replace search engines. Wikipedia is core to that fight so the grievance blitz is here.

Broke: The Metal Gear franchise is just movies with gameplay tacked on Woke: The Metal Gear series is an interactive David Bowie tribute album

The least surprising thing to me is that the first AI actor is a woman. When we imagined an AI actor we all imagined she'd be pretty, young, & white, right? This is what you get when you follow the commodification of actresses to its logical conclusion variety.com/2025/film/ne...

one thing that unites the lunatics here and in israel is how any kind of rejection makes them insanely furious. israelis have made themselves a pariah nation in real time and are collectively wetting their national diaper about it. and so much of american reaction is driven by a sense of rejection

Step one: build more prisons Step two: make homelessness illegal Step three: cut housing assistance Now you have a huge population of workers doing unpaid labor in prison for your corporations!
