all transformers fans will tell you to watch beast wars and you'll think oh like maybe its an big inside joke for the fandom or something, cus it looks like that, and then you watch it and it's the best thing you'll ever see

Saw this in Discord and it’s amazing

the gamecube was a great console

The source is lost to time, but this is one of the funniest photos ever taken

This one hits hard.

genuinely think this is one of the funniest images ever produced

Commentary: In the past five years, the generation portion of the standard service residential electric bill in Columbus, Ohio, has increased by 110%. Energy affordability is quickly shaping up to be a key election issue at all levels of American politics ohiocapitaljournal.com/2026/02/20/h...

The next president should just immediately seize Trump's assets to the dollar value of all of these corrupt emoluments on the grounds that because emoluments are unconstitutional, the money was never Trump's in the first place. Let him try to get them back in the civil asset forfeiture process.

We are about to run face-first into a combo of: - Covid development delays (2020-2022) - End of Zero-Interest Rate Policy (2022) - Overinvestment in games-as-a-service (2021-2025) - AI-based hardware shortages (2025+) AAA games take 4-7 years to develop and bring to market. It is going to be BAD.

the main reason to go after the rich is that if you don’t the entire structure of your society is predicated on the whims of people who are entirely disconnected from ordinary life billionaires are simply too dangerous to exist, and any budgetary stuff that comes out of it is just a bonus

Yes, and don't forget Brazil:

wasn’t expecting such direct support for my loose mental theory that progress in gaming has replaced progress in real life for my generation (See also: gym)

I’m glad someone finally noticed this! It’s a huge problem for the abundance agenda in my opinion, because it puts them face to face with the kind of question they didn’t want to ask archive.md/tc874

They're calling HRT a "sex-rejecting procedure" now. I guess that means my wife gives me HRT every night!

Feels like the US has spent the last 5+ years on the verge of some kind of secular moral revival that keeps getting channeled into weirdo lifestyle puritanism

Damn, Odo.

scrolled through a reddit thread of people saying the sopranos was boring and overrated and it made me think about the sopranos and man the sopranos really is the greatest show of all time

Five-year-old me: Oooh, that Batman cartoon! What adventures will he go on today? *the villain is left in tears, unable to process their fears and obsessions. And Batman, a looming presence born of the inability to rationalize terror, is the only one there to comfort them* Me: Oh. Huh.

hey remember when I got shit on for years for trying to warn people that GamerGate was just Nazis and not just about harassing women and not just about some “consumer revolt”

it is weird seeing people try to downplay the billionaire pedophile network to manufacture culture war tribalism by pointing out those culture wars already existed to a lesser degree. like what else would they possibly start from lmao

every xenoblade 1 cutscene

This is very, very good.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.

A decade later, Trump and the rest of the MAGA movement have manifested that love of the "poorly educated" into policy, with a series of changes that have hobbled America’s entire knowledge sector. The latest edition of Receipts from @crampell.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/3ZGLAJm

Today, we honor the birthday of Franklin D. Roosevelt—a leader who guided the nation through crisis with bold vision and unwavering resolve. While it may be his 144th birthday, FDR’s ideas still speak to our current economic and political moment. 1/6 🧵

Impacting video games as well... "Households with incomes under $75,000 are allocating less on discretionary categories like travel and experiences than in 2019, while those above $150,000 are allotting more, according to a Bank of America report released last month."

This part of the interview between Brennan Lee Mulligan and Matt Mercer where Brennan talks about Kurosawa's use of "ma" and how it plays into resisting the urge to optimize in creative works is so good. It goes until 24:00, starts at timestamp in the link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JtU...

He really was the GOAT wasn't he? Not only offered advice, sold you supplies, and cooked for you but straight up gets involved in the plot and saves you at the end.

This week's episode of The Ezra Klein Show. The Week the World Admitted the Truth About America Canadian PM Mark Carney's speech at Davos last week sent shock waves through the international community. The international-affairs scholar @himself.bsky.social explains why. youtu.be/4a5Jzn8YAQY?...

A just tax system is essential to rebuilding our democracy. Proud to publish @bdgesq.bsky.social's new paper on one way to get there.

I spent the weekend trying to process what's happening in my city of Minneapolis, Minnesota by creating this video. youtu.be/W1dyNcRGRXY

My Star Trek: Deep Space Nine watch through hit way too close to home when they concluded an episode like this after time-traveling to the year 2024.

Genuinely the only thing keeping me going—but it really is keeping me going—is how good it is to see people link arms and push for this to end. I cannot stop thinking about how much love people can have for their neighbors, and how much work and money is poured into breaking that love apart.

Seems normal

Crow: I’m concerned about the president destroying our alliances, destroying our economy, destroying working class Americans' livelihoods… this president is destroying everything that he touches

something we’ve learned from Trump is that there are no cigar-smoking string-pulling masters of the universe directing things from backrooms somewhere and if a serious administration wanted to go after their wealth they would fold exactly the same way

I’ve never understood why this isn’t a thing. A financial and ethical audit at the end of the term, with penalties enforced right away—something like clearing in high school—makes far more sense than the present combination of scrutiny before office, immunity while in it, and impunity after.

Europe was fine arming Israel as it violated every international law while openly committing genocide yet suddenly has strong words against colonization as Trump threatens Greenland

i'm from the european country with a spotless history which does not benefit in any way from american imperialism and definitely doesn't help supply the US military and support their operations, so i get to act smug at american citizens i think. boo, american citizens, boo

half of americans don't have a passport, and 1/3 of us don't have $500 in savings, so europeans lecturing us about how we're not going to be received well when traveling abroad doesn't land in the way they might hope

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
