these rich guys getting public pay bumps and bonuses -- one of them is about to have as much wealth as 59% of the rest of Americans combined -- if i was one of these guys i'd probably be like "okay, okay we gotta ease up, this is going to be extremely unpopular and dangerous"

this is real, and yes that reply that is the head of the FCC

keep capitulating. i'm sure they won't keep moving the line.

Two months ago, after Colbert was canceled.

wife: “did you eat these cookies” Heather: “yes, at 4:03pm on Tuesday, when I was wearing my favorite American flag t-shirt, I opened the cookie jar in the kitchen and consumed three cookies. I have no excuse, my love, and will buy more cookies when I enter my vehicle at 6:10pm tonight”

I expected matt to be like “whoa, no” but instead he was like “this rips”

politics is when one side is rabid raccoon is shredding the rule book and shitting all over the chamber, while the other side is like, "this is not normal," but doing nothing to stop the raccoon.

Drew Carey is one of the nicest guys I’ve ever met.

Time to break out the chart

America’s relationship with trans people was a totally different thing until the media industrial complex discovered it could make money by vilifying it. There was a Love Boat episode about a trans woman that was just like, 👍🏼. The Top 40 treated trans people with dignity. God it sucks now.

This is an excellent explanation of blackpill culture to those who would like a primer on what’s happening to young men online www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8SkURhJ/

Once a guy at my airport gate was bragging about being at January 6th and then I passed him sitting in first class when I boarded and whenever I read stuff like this I think about how his life doesn’t get any better or worse in any way if a trans teenager kills themselves. Evil for the sake of evil.

not that it matters but you can only get into valhalla if you die in physical combat. you don’t go there if you’re sitting and talking

turns out the constitution needs an amendment that says the constitution must be enforced

I get that we aren’t supposed to give up, but the ruthlessness of the inaction by our representatives is a cruelty in and of itself. Dude drew a little girl and wrote a letter to a pedophile about how they share a secret and absolutely nothing is going to be done.

Reality star who has been in a soft core porn calls movie star who has been a spokesperson for WW2 memorials, “destructive”

Oasis is in town and the bucket hat quotient has gone up 600%

Aw man, no, RIP Maru the cat. That little man brought so much joy to my life for years and years. ❤️ en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maru_(c...

“This is not normal” is a weird thing to say about things that keep happening over and over again with zero pushback If a thing keeps happening and nobody does anything about it, I’d call that normal

This week on Get Anime’d we’re talking Shin Godzilla! Only on patreon.com/getplayed

Dabe took this picture at #PAXWest and I think it deserves a Pulitzer

"Pat, why do you carry that ridiculous 600mm lens on long hikes?" Buddy, I can see mountains reflected in the eyes of a trailside pika.

Apple Music launched their tool that transfers your music and playlists from Spotify. It’s super easy. Cancel Spotify.

Jesus fucking Christ

I’ve been thinking about the Fermi Paradox and have a stupid theory that an axiom of life (to use as little energy as possible) means that intelligent life will always bend towards convenience.

Well, I read the first 60 chapters of One Piece and caught back up to where I stopped the Anime long ago, so it’s time to switch over to the show and head for the Grand Line.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers at the University of Florida have developed a UNIVERSAL vaccine that dramatically BOOSTS the immune system’s ability to fight tumors- even WITHOUT targeting a SPECIFIC cancer type. It has the potential to do away with chemotherapy, surgery AND radiation treatment.

Such a dream come true coming on @getplayedpod.bsky.social, talking about my favorite video game no less (Subnautica)! Hearing @heathercampbell.bsky.social, @mattapodaca.bsky.social, Nick, and RANCH every Monday is such a bright spot to my week: open.spotify.com/episode/3KHZ...

probably fine

Saw Shin Godzilla in the theater again last night. Movie still rips. Shin is my boy.

The whole thing looks a bit like: what if the confederates stole the 1860 election, then implemented a comprehensive illegal overhaul they had been planning for 20 years, and the northern states just complied and stood down with no effective means of resistance

last night — in what has to be the dumbest dream I’ve ever had — my wife and I were crying because it was announced that Mario was dead

Dystopian thought: Is American power too corporate to allow destruction of the constitution? If people can’t leave their homes because of martial law or whatever, I would imagine companies will put enormous pressure on government to get people back out and spending money.

*going into any average American deli* ah delightful, a glass cabinet filled to the brim with the very wettest of hams! how delectable to me, a pervert
