"They just shouldn't have participated in society" Fucking panel of cis gays discussing what trans people did to deserve genocide. Cool.

No disrespect to these people but these are not full sentences. “The empire strikes back” is a sentence. These are not.

What I love about Mamdani and the rising power of socialist politicians is how they are forcing "centrist" Dems to show their conservative hands. They're now openly opposing things most humans want: lower costs, basic dignity, healthcare. They also lack charisma and charm and have dead-looking eyes.

this is remarkable

Fine, fine, JESUS! I'll watch the damn talking sheep movie!

Jason Schwartzman turns 46 today.

the people who own Evo suck the community tho, that shit is still 100% pure octane gas. That's why I watch Evo, why i still love tuning in

one of those games i never played at the time but i'd read the box longingly at software, etc. the version of it that existed in my imagination was more amazing than any actual video game then or now.

💜 It's day 26 of Pride Month! 💚 Love politics in video games 👍

broadly speaking i like (astoria's own!) museum of the moving image, i think its existence and its work are valuable, but stuff like this is gross.

I have been lax in my movie-watching responsibilities of late. I apologize and will strive to do better.

i guess i'd say that my college "friendslop" was the early you don't know jack games and man did we laugh ourselves silly playing those

I’m glad all those mainstream publications ran all those big profiles of megyn kelly a few years ago presenting her as a complex character you can’t really put into one box. really helped

hope polterguy is enjoying his retirement

I think there's actually a useful difference we can draw here. Namely: there is incrementalism that comes from pushing wherever possible (and with whatever levels possible) to make progress toward a maximalist demand, versus incrementalism that's positioned as an excuse for setting minor goals

please enjoy these constantly onscreen character portraits from the amstrad cpc port of jackal

Someone on Reddit used this prompt to get "AI" to reveal its copyrighted training data, and I decided to test it myself and what do you know, anyway, "AI" is trained on theft, don't use it

Donald O’Connor didn’t dance his way up a wall and do a backwards somersault twice over so you could tell me that AI is “inevitable”.

journalism as a concept is misogynistic, fatphobic, and classist.

saw somebody wearing a t-shirt that said this today so i'd like to take this chance to remind you to: park that car drop that phone sleep on the floor dream about me youtu.be/CWCKsQaq_wM?...

Some NYC news: Mamdani just won his rent freeze--one of his biggest campaign promises!

like the man said, love is a long, long road.

oh thank god

This is why The Free Press was gifted $150 million by MAGA fascists. Its editors are drunk off self-hating mental poison that equates Judaism with assimilation into 19th-century ethnonationalism. For those unaware, the following screed is Zionist propaganda taught to 9 year olds:

LOVE begins with a moment of fascination that keeps drawing us back. A ~crush~ is just a commitment to paying closer attention Star Fox 64 is asking for the same thing

Crime should pay, what's the big deal?, says criminal.

Mary’s correct and she should say so

I know this is not the biggest concern going these days, but it stresses me out that basically every artist/writer/critic is now expected to create their own tiny empire instead of getting paid by any existing entity to perform a job they've worked to get good at!!!!

White Republican men don't assimilate to the US.

This is one of those "What if" questions where you have to consider the alternative, and even the BEST version of the alternative is "Most gay or trans people were fine as long as they keep their heads down and didn't ask for anything." Which, of course, is not a viable definition of "fine."

Stepping in with a bit of historical perspective to say a) no and b) this is a question that smart queer journalists like the three in this talk have asked many times over the decades. Visibility causes really ugly backlash. That doesn't mean visibility ASKS for backlash--or that it isn't essential.

Cannot BELIEVE today’s Guess the Game took me two. I should have gotten it in one.

Genuinely they should say yes

anyway folks uhhh...good time to get into evercade! you can play pitfall on it!

Microsoft Announces Xbox Prices Are Increasing...Again https://kotaku.com/xbox-price-increase-2026-tariffs-buy-now-pay-later-2000710565

Saying one of the most prolific live service titles “fell short of expectations” in a massive layoff announcement is a slap in the face to every dev and every player who knows how much Destiny meant in an industry where longevity is rare. Whose expectations did it fail? The investors? The execs?

That’s what happens when you make promises to an entire generation of people and then fail.

this court is monstrous, completely out of control, and must be packed until its power is broken that was true yesterday, that is true today, and that will be true tomorrow even if they do hand Trump a defeat on birthright citizenship

Apparently, you're not allowed to post: “BREAKING: The ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good in broad daylight has been identified as Jonathan Ross by the Minnesota Star Tribune. I think today is a great day for Jonathan to be indicted!”

The headline here belies the fact that this is perhaps my favorite bit of games writing this year. It's not specifically the point of the piece, but I feel there's a clear eyed view into the heart of what feels wrong with the current landscape as a creator, consumer and critic.

the way it works is that if i say, "i'm a black american," sam alito thinks that is "dividing people up by race." but if someone says, "get that jigaboo out of my country," alito thinks, "looks like nothing to me"

Compare Alito's description of Trump's racist statements (on the left) to Justice Kagan's anthology of Trump's racist statements (on the right). These are passages from this morning's opinions in Mullin v. Doe.

Older lady peeped the rainbow flag on my bike, asked in a thick Russian accent “It’s your Pride?” She told me her youngest grandchild is “not she berry or he berry but no berry.” I said “Nonbinary?” She got so excited. Yes! Yes! And “Is a secret, but they are my“ *looks around, whispers* “favorite.”

Mass layoffs are underway at Bungie following the end of Destiny 2. "We know this decision has a profound impact on the people affected, their families, friends, and teammates," the studio announced... https://kotaku.com/mass-layoffs-have-started-at-bungie-following-the-end-of-destiny-2-2000710506

Read this carefully: this is about Zionism and Israel. Nothing more, nothing less. Mamdani backed anti-Zionist candidates who DNC funders do not like. So they’re sending out overseers to do some beating. Tish James is a stalwart Zionist & will now shit on the idea of representative democracy.
