bad writing can lowkey be beautiful. not because the language is beautiful but because bad writing can reveal things about the writer that "good writing" would know to conceal or distract from. sometimes when reading bad writing I feel a terrible, thrilling closeness to the author.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that an influencer in possession of a modicum of clout, must be in want of a Fortnite collab.

Babe wake up, new migraine inducer just dropped

"Vote blue no matter who" is the new "you pull you tank".

Not many things in this world involuntarily make me happy at this point in my life. But man, somehow the first peppermint mocha of the season still makes me crack a smile.

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting. If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.

Worth adding that I've also unfortunately known a number of unhealthy, clout-needy, and outright threatening people through achievement hunting in XIV's in-game system. Some of that intersects with MMO player typing, sure. But it's still worth acknowledging how awful many can be with these systems.

"you're unhappy because you spend too much time on your phone" speak for yourself i'm posting this shit from desktop like a true lunatic

My favorite PS2 memory was how entirely nonchalant getting it was: I didn't buy one until I think some time into 2001 or early 2002, and it ended up being an impulse buy while I was out one day. (I want to say it was at the Funcoland in Bluestar, but I think it was somewhere in Watchung Square?)

I feel like we should be talking more about how, for most people, email ended up in the same weirdly deficient place as postal mail, except I at least don't need to put slippers on and go outside to check the former. I guess that makes it better? (I am terrible at keeping up with either.)

Me when the fries come fresh _and_ appropriately salted in 2025:

Me too, screencap of the third level clear in Falsion for the FDS. Me, too.

I feel like modern-day multimedia storytelling started getting really tiring after it became standard to have numerous extant side-stories and plot threads strewn amongst multiple different mediums, all for the unlikely chance one would show up in the "main" anchor storyline

People who say "history will judge" should check out a twenty dollar bill sometime.

Oh my gosh, I'm so happy that Clamp is finally returning to properly finish X's story!

The latest DevJam has now finished, and over 75 new achievements sets are now available for you to play for the MSX! With it also comes PlayJam, an event to celebrate these new releases by beating/mastering them. For more information, check out retroachievements.org/forums/topic...

glad to be born at a time when i got to see what life was like before the internet and will be dead before AI completely destroys humanity

"Don't call them skeets" was the canary in the coal mine

Almost went for the gif with the dramatic lightning flashes, but this seemed more appropriate (if clinical).

Hand to god: little remaining in this world feels as good as dropping a brand's rewards program and doing nearly anything else with your time and attention. Like I'm not going to go on about opportunity cost because that reminds me of people I'd prefer never to emulate, but cripes, it holds up.

I am begging Starbucks to stop sending me emails bragging about how they're "dropping protein".

gonna tell someone else's kids these were the three genders we had growing up

My mom used to beat level 20 and let the music play for me while Iaid in bed and she sat by the window. She never beat it on high, though. And neither had I. I don’t think a video game has ever made me cry more than Dr Mario.

Why are Joey Wheeler's sneakers in Fortnite? Why am I able to purchase these? You wouldn't even know they're from Yu-Gi-Oh on sight given the minimal branding unless you were a weeb-pilled elder millennial watching WB Kids in 2002. This is amazing, also maddening. Who approved this? Are they okay???

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

This is not a good day to force me to switch off of Chrome, world. Think about what you're asking here.

[wormy dipshit whose entire lifestyle and worldview is propped up by direct and indirect violence that they are privileged enough to be insulated from, and who only speaks up for an ethical respect for human life when the most wicked devils alive finally get theirs voice] I condemn all violence!

In 2014, Anita Sarkeesian canceled an event at Utah State after a credible assassination threat because the school’s response was that Utah allows guns on college campuses. People have warned about this kind of violence for years. But they weren’t the people the powers at be wanted to protect.

"Fireflies" is one of my worst guilty pleasure songs because of how it makes me want to skeet things on main like "I'm going to tell my kids this was The Postal Service" to see how many colorful responses I can get

all the best windows software in history is called something like "joe's thing doer". it does the thing and nothing else and is available on a html website in plain text and takes up under a megabyte of space and uses default windows ui elements and will work until the heat death of the universe

In case anyone reading this in 2025 could possibly ever be curious, I'd like to state for the record that Twisted Metal 2 doesn't control 𝘯𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘭𝘺 as well now as I thought it did back nearly thirty whole human years ago, good lord.

This could be us, if you were willing to use Discord as your primary instant messaging system with the goal of making me want to flip a table at one-thirty in the morning (eastern daylight time)

Not news that fear and trauma has taken over many Los Angeles communities—and others across the country— but last night I was at a support group for survivors and family members of ICE raids and the devastation. If watching raid videos is too much for you (I get it), I will share some stories.

Bemused to share that for the first time in probably a decade, my bookmarks.html file is completely organized and (mostly) up-to-date. Just in time to switch web browsers, too! Though that's honestly a coincidence (if an auspicious one...)

Good correlations here. Well, not "good", but, y'know.

imagine fleeing the Vietnam War and in your arms you're carrying a baby who will one day grow up to correct the US Secretary of Defense on his jeans. like bringing a football into the end zone

"stick to menswear"

Yeah, this is going in my collection.

Oh my god. Nobody liked Puff Daddy!! He was a joke! Whoever wrote this should be tied to a chair and forced to listen to that crime against Led Zeppelin from the Godzilla soundtrack for a week. They’ll understand the pain of being alive while MTV shoehorned that shit into our eyes 43 times an hour.

never been more certain of the mounting spiral into our dystopian online slopocene
