the baby’s inability to blow raspberries without spitting all over the place is generally more fun when she doesn’t have a mouthful of food

i just wish everything weren't so goddamned stupid absolutely all of the goddamned time

i'm not getting to RE9 anytime soon (because $70 remains not a thing video games cost) but i've been put in a resident evil sort of mood so i'm playing the RE3 remake 3 is the only mainline game in the series i never got around to, so i can't compare it to the original, but it's pretty ok so far

i enjoyed the '00s as much as the next guy but my nostalgia does not extend to bullshit sloganeering in a flimsy effort to justify obviously immoral and greed-fueled bloodshed conducted by fascists in the middle east it's mostly about, like, the PS2 and white pony

where on earth did this guy get the idea that literally any asshole can call himself a democrat and have his candidacy taken seriously despite anything he’s ever done or said

the impeccable irony of complaining about "celebrating every stupid idea that crosses our minds" in a grandpa simpson-ass diatribe about overcomplicated coffee orders featured on the opinion page of the goddamned washington post

blocking the guy criticizing people for blocking AI enthusiasts feels a little on the nose but, well, here we are

if they want an internet without people in it is there some way we can have real internet for normal humans and a fake internet for rich freaks to play around with and swap their imaginary money back and forth in their own little private enclosure where they can't hurt anyone

I believed last time and believe even harder this time that impeachment should be introduced so frequently it might as well function as a congressional roll call I can’t fathom an argument against it that isn’t rooted in apathy at best and acquiescence at worst

i understand why it happens and even sort of why it's worth acknowledging but it's still jarring to see "seven whole entire american soldiers have died" news items mixed in with video footage of an entire city burning because american soldiers set it on fire

the huge piles of snow from that literal blizzard a couple weeks ago sure are melting quickly on this 70-degree day and that doesn’t seem apocalyptically weird at all

it was easier to explain the existence of gay people to my son than it was to teach him how to tie his shoes

💕AI art that sloughs its way onto my feed = an immediate block for whoever posted it💕 🌈please keep that stupid shit off my feed🌈 🦷love you🦷

Has been pretty vindicating that the people on Twitter we used to argue with about COVID actually got their chance to run things and they each turned out to be every bit the incompetent fuckwit that we knew they’d be

cool I hope they both lose

we take turns in this house

jon said he was feeling lonely and asked me to hang out after bedtime he immediately fell asleep with his head in the crook of my arm and his arm across my chest and i stayed that way for a while like i used to when he was really little and i think i'll probably remember it for the rest of my life

the *precise* number of democratic votes required but it's probably just a coincidence like it was the other times it happened

i wonder if i'd remember myspace less fondly if tom kept posting stuff like "all you myspace users fuckin suck btw lol" the way people running this site do

the “you’ll get left behind if you don’t embrace AI” argument always seemed very flimsy to me because it requires me to believe it would be bad to get left behind by people traipsing off to the dipshit convention (DipCon ‘26)

I don’t think when they do one evil thing it’s a distraction from another evil thing I think they like evil things so they’re doing as many of them as possible, and the difficulty of concentrating on any one evil thing is just a handy byproduct of doing a fuck-ton of simultaneous evil things

it’s fine he’s not a Nazi he’s just a massive fucking dumbass who accidentally got a Nazi tattoo, deliberately *kept* a Nazi tattoo, then ran for office without anticipating that the Nazi tattoo might pose a problem and when has giving political power to a massive fucking dumbass ever gone wrong?

my band opened for gavin degraw in the early ‘00s

We’re long past a point to where layoffs deserve to be seen as a form of industrial sabotage. The damage done to gaming and many other industries by mass layoffs following mass acquisitions is irreparable. Ruined lives, squandered money, stripmined resources, businesses left fucking sabotaged.

AM's monologue about hate from i have no mouth and i must scream but it's just me talking about this piece of shit

live service games are a massive hole the industry keeps flinging money, time, and employees into and it would be really really cool if they stopped immediately

i don't consider myself one of those virulently anti-religion atheists but i do kind of think we probably shouldn't let people who think the rapture is a real thing they can try to bring about be in charge of the military so they don't try to use the very real military to do their imaginary thing

my main thought about that fucked-up neck rash is that I hope it hurts if he insists on continuing to blight the earth with his presence I hope he’s in agony for every accursed second he does so

sometimes it occurs to me that the bloodthirsty, avaricious sociopaths committing daily atrocities in our name and on our dime will almost certainly die in comfort and security without ever facing any actual consequences, and then i just sort of stare into that void for a while sometimes is today

And that's why we don't need a Nazi like Platner, or someone who hates California's disabled like Newsom, to fight Trump. They bring nothing to the fight because they're on his side.

sure this might *seem* useless and pathetic it might *seem* like the opposition party yet again failing so hard at opposition that it's almost impossible they're not doing it on purpose but who knows, maybe if trump explains things *just right* it'll bring those schoolchildren back from the dead

ok *now* can we all agree to kick this dude to the fucking curb or do we need him to make it crystal clear what he's all about another five or six times

my problem with these takes, is it's like imagine if you were being attacked by a tiger at the zoo, and the zookeeper was over there kinda halfheartedly going "hey. come on now. get off him" and you went HEY WHAT THE FUCK! and the zookeeper went "uh don't oyu think you should be angry at the tiger?"

I made my wife a biscuit-topped chicken pot pie for her birthday, within the limits of what she can currently eat thanks to the baby’s food sensitivities it doesn’t look like much but it means well we are kindred spirits in this way

if michelle obama had even floated the idea of pulling this you could heat every home in the northeast for the winter using the white-hot rage emanating from Fox News alone

what's next? sledding? tobogganing? dear god...LUGE? it truly is a slippery slope

New York City police are investigating after officers were pelted with raindrops while patrolling during a rainstorm

this is cool and all but i'm still keeping my server boost money the problem isn't "this is happening too fast/with insufficient transparency," the problem is "this is happening" there's quite literally nothing they could say to convince me they can be trusted

adam don't buy theatrhythm on ps5 just because it's on sale you already own it on switch you do not need it twice adam don't buy theathrythm twice for no reason i know it's a rhythm game with FF music and an xp system making it everything you could ever want from a video game but don't buy theatrhy-

I do chip in for kids’ online safety, which is why my kids are not allowed anywhere near Roblox

I was going to post about that thing the Nazi tattoo guy said in an interview but I am now more preoccupied with why on earth Nazi tattoo guy still gets to do interviews

Dear Young People. This post is written for you… Our generation of doctors decided to let you all get infected with a novel virus without even protection from vaccines in many cases, and we already knew that some of you would be killed or disabled for life when we made that decision.

i have just learned of the minigame they added to yakuza kiwami 3 (the game they cast a real-life literal sexual predator in despite public outcry) where you rehabilitate the image of a *fictional* literal sexual predator and...um...what the fuck is going on at RGG

fiction from my childhood did not sufficiently prepare me for our real-life planet-wrecking supervillains to be such sad fucking dorks this sociopathic monologue should be barely audible through the door of the locker he just got stuffed into

i mean sure, why not the car was already headed off a cliff so why not set it on fire while you're at it

ah yes, music and art, famously divorced from and in no way influenced by political concerns methods of expression simply too good and pure to be tied down by such mundane concerns

Every billionaire in the Epstein files could drop dead tomorrow and the world would not only be fine, it would actually improve. The quality of our media would improve. Our environment. Our food. Our health care. Our technology.
