IDK if being investigated will help Newsom politically that much. I'm sure though that he thinks it will. The recall election was basically the same thing. Suddenly everyone decided they had to be on "his side" because he was being attacked and then there were no more potential primary threats

it occurs to me that someone saying they are "waiting by their phone" is now an anachronism because people aren't normally away from their phone anymore

I'm rewatching Batman: The Animated Series and I'd just like to ask what current cartoons are carrying the same torch as this '90s cartoon? The cinematography and lighting is better than most live-action films on Netflix and everything so far is just FLEXING. Go watch the Clayface two-parter.

my good buddy @thelostarts.bsky.social is part of a kickstarter campaign for a new monster tamer video game. I'd consider it a personal favor if you got onboard www.kickstarter.com/projects/ele...

I did not have "Lynch mob fights the police in Belfast" on my June bingo card

In 2018, Republicans in California had a little bit more than 36% of the primary vote for governor of California. With 9% left to count they have 35.2% with two candidates. They have barely avoided being shut out this time. Tell me again how California is going to have a GOP governor in November

The fire emblem reveal had everything. The boring character no one will remember, the brooding character people will fantasize about being in a toxic relationship with, the character everyone will still be drawing porn of 10 years from now, and the only well written character whose story people like

Wait until you see his car.

This is what every game developer sounds like right now.

As a long time guild wars 2 player, not really looking forward to guild wars 3. I probably won't play it. Arena net regularly squanders potential, struggles to incorporate player feedback, and regularly misses deadlines. The last 9 years have been a ship of Theseus trying to hold itself together

I don't see California backsliding in November. We're still waiting for results but for all the chatter made about republicans having a chance the results don't show that so far

Welp it looks like one anti-trans candidate for super intendent made it through, the current second place which could change is at minimum trans agnostic and status quo oriented which is good generally but who knows

I don't like how the governor's race has shaken out, but that doesn't mean it's not deeply amusing that Becerra is probably our next governor. Democratic donors fumble for over a year to pick someone and end up with the guy no one can trust and isn't white.

one constant of california politics is the silicon valley candidate for statewide offices gets clowned on when the votes come in

People for the last year have been railing against our top two primary system because of polling and not actual results. It was never likely that two republicans would ever advance to the general. Their chunk of the electorate is too small and having two candidates splits the vote.

Well, that makes at least one other person running for governor who is not throwing trans people under the bus publicly

Every major game studio ought to be deeply concerned by the prospect of a $1000+ PS6 or new xbox

If we go back to Nintendo being the only serious offering for handheld gaming , don't ever let them blame anyone other than the big tech companies pushing ai

Cold opens in videos need to stop. I don't want to see 4 seconds out of context 30 minutes before it happens

There is this post going around talking about an AI study, (not allowed to quote post so i removed the og's name). People should have learned from twitter to include an actual link www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... because a random user made summary is going to have some inaccuracies.

My anti-AI strategy, beyond never using it, is to make people in my life feel uncomfortable about it when they admit to using it in their everyday lives. Put someone close to you on blast for not wanting to write an email TODAY.

it's nice to know i wasn't hallucinating last night at like 1 am when i saw Colbert was hosting a different tv show

A horse in the kentucky derby that cost several millions of dollars lost to a horse that didn't cost anything. I also I think those horse girl game people juiced the odds of a japanese horse in the derby, the morning line was 30-1 and it went down to 5-1 at post

People think they want to live on the internet, and then they do but don't want to

I think conspiracies about this sort of thing are always dumb. Important people don't have the x-men protecting them, just some guys milling about. You don't have to be a former Olympian turned witch training in secret with John Wicke to succeed. Just be some guy where they aren't at the right time

when I'm playing FFXIV and someone says "Meowdy" this is what i see

Goku on Friends would totally work though.

That guy has me blocked so i guess I somehow got on that list

It will be interesting to see some sales numbers updates for Pokopia when quarter is over. If it ends up in 2nd place behind mario kart I think we'll get DLC.

Every time Tori and Kari talk to a producer from Mythbusters we find out some new stupid thing Discovery Channel wanted them to do

I had an earthquake in Victoria 3 and my mind is blown at how punitive it is. An earthquake powerful enough to impact multiple west coast states is an extinction level event not a 4.1.

I'm playing through Final Fantasy VI and almost at the end. This is sort of the first time, I got to the ending part of the world of balance twice and then just lost focus and never went back to those saves. It's been ages since I went through all the 2D FF games, but this one is kind of overrated

Windows: We can't ensure our updates won't fuck your computer up every patch, but by golly gosh we can force your computer to shut down and apply them and you can't say shit about it. This is fine.

Earlier today I reflected on what's changed since leaving twitter for bluesky. People are still as misinformed as ever but my feed on bluesky is much happier and more interesting. People keep posting or talking about clickbait that says "actually bluesky is bad" but I never see a single thing-

Hey State Superintendent @tonythurmond.bsky.social is still running for governor, at a time where the present governor is trying to take power away from his office. you may remember Thurmond for getting kicked out of a local school board meeting for defending kids from a forced outing policy.
