A good day to say Fuck The New York Times.

it took an expensive, coordinated effort & a lot of people saying “this doesn’t matter” to get from a bathroom ban costing one state $400 million & a gubernatorial race to “trans people must turn in their documents which become invalid in a few hours or face fines & potential jail time” in 10 years.

every trans girl is fighting a secret fight that you can solve by giving her 20 thousand dollars

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license. They can't even escape this by moving to another state.

lrt AI should be used to replace CEOs

Coalitions are organizing opposition to data centers across the country, often successfully. Where they've been proposed, laws to regulate AI have found majority support. When actors and screenwriters went on strike to stop executives from using AI to undermine their jobs, they were widely cheered.

if any of you all wanna play demons roots its on sale tw in demons roots for a lot of rape and a lot of slavery the latter cuz its about putting a stop to slavery also you can get a free uncensored patch but also still turn off all the 18+ stuff via the menu (or turn it back on at any time)

for people wondering what the deleted post was, its this go to windows settings now and turn this off this blows bunchunks

Tapping the sign

UPDATE! I decided to touch up the original SuperDisc wordmark using math and geometry and stuff. I think it looks a lot better. Also made a new symbol/icon/whatever you call it. I went through... a lot of different designs, I found myself accidentally recreating the original SNES logo.

it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

"Briefcase" by John Louthan, 1987-1992 August 5th, 1991 as seen in the Intelligencer Journal

unfortunately all i can think about, seeing this, is the inevitability that we will one day have a President who remembers 40 man raids on Molten Core

Nerd Opossum has a meltdown

defining traits of being a girl (discovered after 3 years of girl practice) -cold -sleepy -hungry

it's simple really

The feminine urge to glomp another girl while going "Oneechan!!!" and spin around while little hearts appear around your character outline

Highly recommend checking out @baust528.bsky.social's thread of retro games that have only just recently received official English translations. He's been updating it for years and it's always fun to see new titles added to the list.

In 2000, FOG used the slogan "Can you weep over a game?" to promote "Kuon no Kizuna ~Sairinshou~", an enhanced version of the PS1 title "Kuon no Kizuna". Its scenario is pretty dense/emotional & I've heard it's a masterpiece, so I really wanna play this ADV some day...

See this is funny because Anno is essentially saying he peaked around the time he directed Nadia.

excited to hear tech companies will now be allowed to build their own power plants for their data centers. i am sure the makers of "the app that tells kids to kill themselves" will responsibly operate coal plants

This seems really bad. Fuck these guys.

Putting a prison sentence on a fake, completely consented to kink performance between adults is like arresting somebody for assault because they were in a pro-wrestling match and the entire state are a bunch of marks who didn't know kayfabe was a thing.

lrt My dislike of Game Theory wrecked a friendship I had so I am hoping for the day someone makes a really popular Youtube callout on MatPat's shit. I'll also never forgive him for what he did to Petscop.

Game Theory did a lot of damage to critical thinking that we don't credit and criticize often enough the way we do with Nostalgia Critic and CinemaSins.

just imagine

To make matters worse I'm being admitted to the hospital right now due to something going wrong during my dialysis treatment today. I'm not sure how long I'm going to be in here and how much work I'm going to have to miss. I'm in desperate need of a miracle right now

I hate when you're 10 minutes into a 5 minute project and you realize your perfectionism is going to make it take another 30 minutes

If you're doing callout posts about artists creating fictional taboo content, you may not consider yourself a fascist, but you are one. You are their stupid tool at the bare minimum. The good news is you can stop doing that at any time

Feel like any serious review of Velma 2023 should reference A Pup Named Scooby Doo, as that seems to be the series where the creators got the idea of making Daphne a mean girl and Fred an arrogant know-nothing dude. It's also possible for Mindy to have watched it during childhood and internalize it.

I think we can stop pretending that this is only due to Nintendo YouTubers and admit that there were games on the Nintendo 64 that were good on their own merit.

Speaking as someone that did sex work, a lot of this stuff was illegal in the uk to produce already. Phone sex lines and chat rooms already were not allowed to do this. Didn't stop people from trying though...

well, it’s official they’re looking to make possession worth up to 2 years in prison, 5 years for publishing/sharing im really upset and idk what to do

The Black community around Princeton gave Einstein an entrance into the civil rights movement. He joined the NAACP and the American Crusade Against Lynching (ACAL), an organization founded by Paul Robeson. Einstein had a 20-year friendship with Robeson; he also wrote for W.E.B. Du Bois's mag.

Animaniacs: "The Warners' 65th Anniversary Special" - Nick Knacks Sample Platter www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCQv...

It's wild how you can make a forum post about something spooky, and then five years later there's video games and a major motion picture about your spooky post and you'll never be credited for it. It's wild that can happen.

for some reason the left (goldman sachs) refuses to take AI seriously

After two decades, Samurai Champloo's soundtrack is still iconic. Its influence is everywhere. Shinichiro Watanabe loved underground hip hop -- and he hired artists like Nujabes to create music that doesn't just fall into the background. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/the-music-...

ウマ娘5th anniversary Congratulations! あめでとー！ウンス再掲です。 #umamusume #Fanart

In today's episode of "iMDB is not a reliable website," someone seems to have listed Jim Jinkins as writer, character designer and executive producer of the DIC Dennis the Menace cartoon, something easily disproven by watching the credits of that show.

The Doug episode of Nick Knacks is at the "collect every single picture you can find of Pinwheel-era Jim Jinkins" stage.

All this talk of RAM shortage had me thinking back to another shortage! Here's a clip from the Computer Entertainer newsletter in February 1988. I nabbed this from the Atari Compendium: www.ataricompendium.com/archives/new... #Zelda #AdventureOfLinkQuote

evangelion aired in 1996 so we gotta update the screenshot

The DHS has declared that fewer than 500 ICE agents are currently deployed in Minnesota. A force numbering in the hundreds is not a retreat. It is a tremendous presence in a single area, capable of inflicting mass terror, carrying out targeted abductions, and sustaining a climate of fear.

It really is fascinating how overt it now is that there are certain - really not controversial - ideas that you aren’t allowed to say on television.
