CHOTINER: This game you like to play, what's it called? ME: Slay the Spire. CHOTINER: And you play it on the computer? ME: Yeah. Well, I also have it on my phone. I played another 300 hours. CHOTINER: And these other games in your Steam library. Have you finished them? ME: Now hold on a second,

I started reading Swanboy around last years Halloween arc, so this is almost a year to the day in and it is one of the strongest gag comics out there now.

the issue with "follow the polling" distilled: you can basically get any answer just by adjusting the wording of the question

Every day I have to learn about a guy with untold power and influence who I would not trust to fill up my car

Posting some old Eureeka stuff today. I would still love to see this old puppet show get a reboot for an older audience. Fun fact! Did you know R.L. Stein was the lead writer on this pre-school show from the 90's?

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

also even then...you're possibly on the record. Seriously people are you guys new here?

The corollary to that is that when YOU say you are off the record, you are not yet off the record. Only when the journalist agrees that you are off the record do they have any ethical obligation to keep your words private.

No solidarity except class solidarity

kids, remember that you're still on the record until the interviewer agrees that you are off the record

I cannot process this isn't a joke but a literal quote

Isaac Chotiner proving once again that the simple act of asking follow up questions gets you great news.

you know the interview is great when "Henry Kissinger was a generous man whom I liked because we talked about Star Wars" is somehow not the most outlandish thing you said

Pathetic AI Chatbot Spends All Its Time Talking To Friendless Loser

reminder to folks: Disney backing down was 0% because of a principled stance, purely a financial panic, they are not on our side and the moment they think they'll earn another dime next quarter by siding with a dictator or accepting an elon check worth more than every subscription combined they will

You're making us all uncomfortable over here, Joan.

Currently existing in an updated 21st century Ulysses where not even leaving the house is still part of an heroic effort to make it through a goddamn day.

why...why would the U.N. have Trump come to speak about anything they know what he's like, right

Christian 1: well, we did it. No more pagan gods. A universal faith Christian 2: sure is buddy. The holy gospel. God's truth. Just the father, the son, and the holy spirit. Who of course proceeds from the father and from the son Christian 1: the fuck did you just say

Telling pregnant folks not to take fever reducers during pregnancy will absolutely increase the KNOWN risk of adverse outcomes due to delayed treatment (or failure to treat) a dangerously high fever during pregnancy.

I heard some JoJo music & that made me nostalgic for this Gem! I really loved playing Avdol in Stardust Crusaders in X minutes. HUGE thanks to @kaiserneko.bsky.social for bringing me on, it was an honour. These were hilarious and a blast to work on! youtu.be/nJaxyaOltto Give 'em a watch

as soon as I saw the silksong announcement way back when my first thought was "I doubt they're giving you a grappling hook to be nice"

it is kind of funny that in the years and years it took for silksong to come out a lot of people seem to have forgotten that hollow knight was really hard

The last time the U.S. hosted the World Cup, a ticket to the final was <$200 — in today's dollars. Next year, we're looking at *face value* tickets of $6,000. I joined Lina Khan on @pablotorrefindsout.bsky.social last week to talk about FIFA's absurd and greedy ticketing plans.

SHE SURE DOES couple things: 1. Dolan didn’t resign because he’s in trouble. you submit the letter when you turn 75 and the pope accepts it usually when they’ve got a replacement lined up for you 2. sometimes that takes years, so it does mean something that Leo accepted it right away

Every time I see something like this, it’s a sprint to @clairewillett.bsky.social’s page to see if she has any vibes on it… though in this case Cardinal Dolan sucks so bad even laypeople know he sucks. 🤣

Weird how this keeps happening.

Never forget the 23rd day of the month of September

Re: genAI in YouTube videos Never. Not even once. If you have the wherewithal to hard label your footage, then you immediately understand why genAI video that doesn’t credit artists while stealing actual paid work from them is bad. If you try to say otherwise, you’re straight up full of shit.

It’s a big country with lots of correct answers to this question. Mine is: I don’t think homeowners have any idea how angry everyone who pays rent has been for the last 5+ years and will continue to be until the housing market is significantly unfucked.

Proud to announce our unnamed tech partners tracked the cell phone locations of hundreds of thousands of people without their knowledge or consent

“I absolutely think I’m qualified for the job. Because at the end of the day, what really makes anybody qualified for any job?” is maybe a perfect Trump administration quote.

1 repost = 1 "well done, my good and faithful servant" 1 scroll past = I will cancel your talk show and threaten your employer

It's weird that nobody can just straight out say that he's a deeply stupid man and that is now being compounded by clear mental deterioration. Like we all see it. We know what it is.

This. Its pretty much general knowledge that Sonic's design is based off of Felix the Cat and Mickey Mouse. And when you look at all the other designs that Sonic has birthed... well there ya go.

Don’t expect any further rewards or handclaps. This is how normal people are all the time.

there are a couple of people in the audience who look like they're going to cry. I don't usually watch him speak for this long either and it's not a positive experience.

he says he thought it would be easiest to broker an end to the war in Ukraine because of his relationship with Putin, but war is full of surprises, who knew. he then goes on to say it's just making Russia look bad. the UN camera operator cuts to Zelensky, who looks like he's watching a camel juggle

I think about this a lot

Bacially almost all the major black and white characters were born out of homages to minstrelsy. I talk about this in my Character Design classes actually
