What game made you fall in love with video games? As a kid, I was enthralled by tales of knights (King Arthur & co. in particular) as well as The Hobbit, and then a friend had the first Wizardry and it was like, "Here, you can (kinda sorta) 'be' all that..."

happy max headroom hijacking day to all who celebrate. become ungovernable.

Is that rainbow coming out of the author's ass?

I FOUND THE BOOK WITH THE ORB

The Last Dragon (the 1985 one)

Uh hey, a heads up: This is probably a good time to make sure that you go into settings on your profiles and make sure that "autoplay video" is turned off. Setting labels like 'violence' to "hide" or "don't show" is likewise a good idea if you don't want to see the TPUSA shooting by accident.

I hope they have all the very best boxes lined up for you in Heaven, Maru

Randomly getting ‘down in front’ passes to Metallica/Guns ‘n’ Roses/Bodycount Day on the Green because we happened to be in the shortest line (i.e. farthest from the BART offramp) waiting to get in so we were in this little fenced-off area right at the stage and spared from the customary sod fight

Probably Wizards - which I didn't even actually like when I saw it (and still don't really care for). But we were all JUST getting into D&D and weird sci-fi and whatever, and Wizards said other people weren't merely into this stuff, they were *making films of it* so we should maybe Go Find All That

young boys should look up to Perfect Tommy instead of andrew tate or that little streamer rat man youtu.be/fKHaNIEa6kA

We could have had cancer vaccines, and instead the United States will contribute nothing whatsoever to mRNA research, condemning millions of people worldwide to unnecessary illness and death

Skyward by Therapy?

The Dackelmuseum (dachshund museum) in Germany. Not like a natural history kind of thing, but rather a space filled to the brim with dachshund-related trinkets (figurines, etc.). Delightful. Was in Passau when we went, but I think has now moved upriver to Regensburg

By ratting on Jesse Ventura's unionization efforts, Hulk Hogan denied all of his coworkers, and generations of performers who came after him, insurance and a retirement fund, and in that, shares in responsibility for the early deaths of several other wrestlers.

That first time you come across Crazy Train on Headbangers Ball… Have a good time jamming with Randy, old boy

If you see this, quote this post with a time travel movie that's not BACK TO THE FUTURE 🎥

Name something you remember watching on this! The Wiz. I can't remember what the occasion was - we didn't normally watch movies at school, but maybe a field trip got canceled or something

Today in feelin’ old: explaining to your bartender that The [new] Running Man is a remake

The Emissary ponders his orb.

They're cutting Medicaid to fund the Gestapo and surprise surprise, the Dems aren't saying that. They're saying it's about tax cuts for the rich because they think Dem voters hate brown people as much as they do and only care about the votes from white Dems

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas. So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget? The answer is: you.

Funny how the US has basically the government of Iran now: Supreme Leader who rules by decree, priestly council with token opposition that decides whether the decisions are okay or not on arcane scriptural grounds, and completely ceremonial legislature

This Christian theocratic project—of which SCOTUS is a crucial part—depends on kids growing up to be bigots. Kids aren’t born to hate. They learn it. We can’t have kids learning to respect differences because that’s how you get communism so we gotta keep letting kids be indoctrinated into bigotry.

👀 Now would be a *great* time to call your Senators, especially if they're Republican, and crush the public land sell-off provision for good. Call script here: 5calls.org/issue/public...

The proposed recommendation to stop using the MMRV vaccine for young kids is the opening salvo in an attack on all childhood vaccines. The result will be dead children. rasmussenretorts.substack.com/p/tiny-coffi...

The takeaway from the Tucker Carlson Ted Cruz interview is that the American public has been so badly cheated for so long by the people pretending to be the political media that when anyone asks a basic follow up that an 8th grade schoolpaper reporter would it feels like cutting edge journalism

Trans rights are the issue because human rights are the issue. This is ICE and immigration, this is LGBTQIA+ survival, this is women's health and choice, this is Muslim bans and murders, this is THE ISSUE. Do people who aren't white conservative Christians deserve rights? That's the issue.

Star Trek (TOS). We lived well out of town and the antenna didn't pick up much, but one station played Trek every Saturday at midnight - which then became the sole exception to my otherwise regular bedtime, so I could stay up and watch it with him

No Kings But Kirby.

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

You’re seeing a lot on TV rn about force and misconduct in Los Angeles sheriff department's role. Well, here’s what happened when someone tried to get serious about bringing accountability to the department: she faced huge pushback… and now she faces criminal charges. boltsmag.org/the-curious-...

Remarkable. MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful." Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd. Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

It is amazing to see one party openly calling for the arrest of their political opposition while multiple mainstream outlets run stories on the dangers of the extremism of protesters and social media users.

wheeeee

Going with the King's English 'theatre' in your press release about manhandling an American certainly is A Choice here, just about 250 years out from when last we tired of tyrants with those particular rules... (Furthermore, Butlerian Jihad now)

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

Every now and then I have to post the single best commercial ever made.

This fucking sociopath is killing people

This is the kind of thing that is going to happen constantly now that we have an unaccountable masked gang with complete impunity: Random scammers, stalkers and criminals are just going to pretend to be ICE, because why not?

Me most of the time: this state is horribly mismanaged, we're led by morons, and the nonprofit industrial complex has a veto Me when chuds say California is a shithole:

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was once politely asked to leave a restaurant and it generated 100x as much handwringing from the media as this will

Again reminding everyone that the relentless Sinophobia from both parties results in harm to Asian Americans.
