why spend money on building solar panels and windmills when we could spend $1 trillion on data centers that make fake videos of pets

the only thing that could make Blue Sky even more joyful than we were watching Cabo Verde's heroic performance last night is if today is the day When It Happens

Metal Gear 2 is the sort of game that is so ahead of its time it must have melted people's faces in 1990 Metal Gear Solid is the game that turned the series into a blockbuster franchise but in many ways it's just a 3d remake of Metal Gear 2 an iconic game, still very much worth playing

celebrating America the most terminally-online-millennial way possible: reposting dril tweets happy 4th of July, y'all

"the DSA is run by white supremacists," i confidently say, having never seen a single picture of what DSA candidates look like

"these mega-rich assholes you're mad at? have you considered they didn't fuck up everyone's day quite as much as someone even worse did?"

CABO VERDE WE LOVE YOU

CABO VERDE

they should build a statue of Vozinha

libraries are like Katamari; the more books you borrow, more movies you watch, more audiobooks you listen to the bigger & more powerful the library becomes then when the library has reached its peak power the King of All Cosmos will make your library one of the stars that lights up the night sky

they trained millennials how to use computers too good and napster basically flattened an entire industry. I think that's why they don't even want you to touch your phone's file system now, they can't let kids become that powerful again

as a society we needed to nip in the bud the tech industry's desires to weaponize digital platforms against the public by treating them like public utilities the GOP was never going do to that & the Obama era dems decided to cash Silicon Valley's checks instead of enacting regulations

nothing that New York establishment dems love more than protecting insiders and using contrived pretexts to claim the party leaders should be above criticism

if this happened in Marie Gluesenkamp Perez's district she'd demand that the Pentagon immediately unleash a MOAB in response

If you're sharing all the cute videos of fans eating waffles and brisket that is good, but don't forget this stuff too. This is also the USA.

[neurodivergently] "he knows?" what does that even mean??

Just a reminder. I'm always surprised how many people aren't aware of this. #Libraries

cast yourself as a villain

"for dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes” (the reader will have to decide for themselves if they are running towards or away)

Where is Cynthia Rothrock's career achievement Oscar

the best version of Persona 3's story is the version with Kotone. the FeMC route has *dramatically* better social links that flesh out the other members of your party in a way that neither FES nor Reload manage to do so i'm pretty excited to see Atlus finally remember that Kotone exists

anyone claiming there's a ""left vs left" fight in the democratic party is in the tank for sclerotic incumbents who are mad that a couple of candidates on the left won their elections

remember a month ago when trump petulantly stormed out of an interview with Meet the Press? that incident has already been forgotten by all the major newsrooms but if Biden had done that they'd still be furious and writing front page stories about it

republicans are having their secret police execute americans in broad daylight and letting the murderer walk free. theyre sending innocent people to foreign gulags. they want to denaturalize millions and rip them out of their homes and send them to slave labor camps

damn, i hate it when airlines aren't able to charge me extra because they think i'm using an iphone

In the last few weeks I have read 7 or 8 articles about Dems freaking out, holding emergency meetings, and drafting manifestos in response to a few DSA candidates winning. I have read no such articles about them doing the same to oppose Trump in his second term.

Every authoritarian movement in history began by identifying a vulnerable group whose rights were framed as negotiable. How hard you are willing to fight for trans rights is the litmus test for whether or not you understand solidarity. It’s all of us or none of us.

On the last day of Pride Month, happy Trans Pride, now and forever and ever and ever, Amen.

you can’t truly know the freedom of the computer without occasionally experiencing the low grade terror of updating the BIOS and the minuscule chance of a crippling fault

This isn’t even a joke thing for me. Mobile platforms are a closed down technofascist response to computers. The desktop isn’t free of those influences, but they are attenuated and interacting with it makes you experience the full promise of computing. The potential and the freedom.

I’m sorry but I just don’t have any patience for Democratic loyalists anymore. I vote for every Democrat on the ballot in a general election but if you cannot see that these people are completely out of their depth and have utterly failed to stop fascism, you’re delusional and part of the problem.

i'm just some idiot on the internet but it was clear to me in 2020 that the conservative movement wanted to end birthright citizenship (though i was wrong in thinking the Insular Cases would be the attack vector) if i can anticipate this why can't the democratic party?

I really wish people would tell us WHY we need a strong right in this country. So trans people, Black people, and immigrants can have less rights while corporations and billionaires have more rights? So our water is more polluted? So we have more wars?

the supreme court is shredding our rights and this festering boil of a man is praising them for the good work they're doing couldn't be clearer that the democratic party has gotta be stripped down to the studs

biden doesn't get nearly enough hate for refusing to even listen to our pleas to reform the courts

Has there ever been a cooler guy in a movie than Porco Rosso

i'm seeing a lot of ppl on here today defending the Democratic Party to the trans community and allow me to suggest not doing that

CHRIS RUFO: [to ezra klein's stupid fucking face] I enjoy lying. I think lying is great if it gets me what I want, which is to whip up racist mobs against immigrants EZRA KLEIN: they're calling him the most honest man to ever live

it's not enough that clarence thomas is transparently corrupt & serial sexual harasser: he's also a gleeful bigot it's intolerable that the democratic party has made zero effort to remove him from office

ezra klein's new podcast dropped

"live-action Persona series" has the most obvious ever casting for the role of Igor, they better not screw this one up

I feel like she, specifically, should know better

every single person has exactly the same feeling after Seven Samurai, and that feeling is "Toshiro Mifune might be the coolest man to ever live?"

if you refuse to watch old movies you're missing out on a beautiful world of art

they already made a live-action version of Persona called Persona 3: The Masquerade and 1) it was awesome, 2) it was a Japanese only theater musical Netflix make a Broadway musical of Persona 5 you cowards

1) Zion Suzuki is indeed a rad name, but also 2) a "Suzuki, Zion" sounds like the name of an ultra-compact late 1990s SUV that your cool aunt drove

every day is a good day to remember the the Supreme Court has ruled that it's legal for POTUS to launch drone strikes on the Supreme Court

ya ever read a book that speaks to you so clearly it feels like getting kicked in the head

That last point I'm not sure is even cynical enough. Education in the humanities is seen as a prerequisite for a democratic civil society; and that's why political elites have marked it for death

this is actually a good reminder that you should delete the tracking nonsense off of any url that you share online. just delete everything after the ? (including the question mark) and share like you usually would
