Just a reminder that there are tons of great Pokémon forums out there you can get involved in. Check them out!

oh maybe i'm at the age where taking insanely long walks fucks me up a little

you will obliterate yourself, you will press all your supposed values through a fine wire mesh and you will follow them through, unrecognisable, reduced to bloody pieces, rather than admit that trans women are women

pretty much no one has ever earned their victory lap as thoroughly as rebecca watson has earned this one imo

hot take, water pokes getting universal access to surf HM and ice beam/blizzard TM is worse for gen 1 rpg type balance than anything about psychic or normal pokes

oh i'm getting mad powerful as a choral singer. just operating at another level

doing the reverse "if we had more humanities heroines we'd have better critical thinking/media literacy" when i hear shit like "women & femmes" to refer to clit havers. like oh do we need a crassly autistic set theorist to calculate who's being encircled by each of those words or is that too clocky

a few weeks ago i did a little jaunt on wordle reddit. they recommend inputting your moves into scoredle or gradle as post-mortem analysis. they both have the same flaw though which is that they assess your play in terms of how good a move was today rather than how good it is across the solution set

insane day for me to do two hours of walking outside without a coat lmao

slop is a truly excellent word choice for AI output. absolute respect to whomever got that going. because it’s *exactly* what it is. a bunch of scraps haphazardly mixed into an undifferentiated slurry to serve to undifferentiating hogs.

Oliver reports this with some decent jokes, but he largely makes the cardinal error that I identified in my study of a decade of body camera propaganda: **Oliver assumes that the marketing of body cameras to well-meaning liberals accurately reflects their true purposes and functions.**

saying little conflicts out loud got me thinking about fighting game mixups. if you bring up the upset stuff regularly, your happy stuff hits truer. imperfect analogy but can you see the shape of it too?

¿Sabíais que Frankenstein (el libro de 1818) tiene DOS versiones, y la mayoría de la gente ha leído la segunda? No encontré ninguna forma sencilla de ver qué retoques hizo Mary Shelley entre una y otra, así que he montado una websita donde se pueden leer ambas y ver los cambios exactos.

Is dit waar Iggy Pop z'n naam vandaan heeft?

This is ultimately the thing. There's a concept in disability justice called the dignity of risk: that we believe disabled people should have the right to *fail*. A lot of abled people look at disabled people and think they must be coddled and protected - it's a benevolent bigotry.

clothes should be free for fat women, fat trans women should get paid every time we get clothes

Happy Mario day!

Oh you paused the video? you don't want to watch it? how about if it was smaller and following you down the page?

everyone on bluesky should get a tamagotchi. and to keep it alive you have to make good posts

Hell yeah go birds

okay the youtube algorithm is good sometimes

amber glenn being asked about her opinions on heated rivalry and the first thing she says is "i want yuri heated rivalry" she's the realest to ever do it

yuri about a piloting ace. she is the most anxious woman in the world and believes that every time she enters the mech she is going to fucking die. she is basically doing this image whenever she's flying. in contrast she keeps coming across rivals who say "I won't lose!!" and who keep losing to her

Letting Kristi Noem give a press conference before she realizes she’s fired is a pretty hardcore start to white history month

I really don't think I should have to verify that I am human to look at the Cheesecake Factory menu online. Dogs and robots should be able to look at 57 types of cheesecakes too.

I remember when my uncle from Philly called my dad to see if Philly had made the Canadian news. My parents were positive he was drunk, cuz no way the govt drops a bomb on a city and it’s not all over everyone’s news shows. We were all so dumb.

it's wild having played red/blue when they came out because like..... three starter pokémon. you feel the rawness of it as a design decision; it hasn't yet become a tropeic iteration

art thread

hate feeling literally crazy

hilarious to me that i'm on a streak of 3s on wordle using some really bad starters (previous day's solution). AWAKE and GUAVA bringing me the goods

r/relationships: Every time my husband (40M) and I (19F) have a disagreement he literally leaves the room, hides behind the doorframe, and peeks one eye around the corner to see if I'm still mad. When I told him that's not how adults handle conflict, he said "it works for Jerry." What should I do?

"what kind of technology do leftists even like" i love hearing about new types of weird concrete the materials scientists are cooking up

New: A comedian set up a fake ICE tip line as a joke. Then 100 calls flooded in: neighbors ratting on neighbors, a teacher reporting a kindergartener. Fans say the viral TikToks revealed deportation's "banality of evil." Conservatives say he should be in prison wapo.st/4kM4qbF

surprisingly struck by CHRONICLE (2012) boxd.it/deLSEX

UN CHANT D'AMOUR (1950). holy shit, allez le regarder, chef-fucking-d'œuvre de cinéma boxd.it/ddYNBB

wordle thread normal mode playing for low score (but trying to unclench about careful optimal play—let myself fuck up, enjoy the ride) previous day's solution as next day's starter

vicky mboko

This really is a great picture:

really wanted to play CHIBI as a disambiguating move in wordle today and it wasn't accepted. god dammit. was displeased to realize BITCH was basically a strict improvement too

really bad mental health day today

dang i love salmon so much

having so much fun back on wordle starting with the previous day's solution (after having learned the game with a year of SHITE). the skill growth is so fun and i run into such a variety of words, or the ghosts of them, on my way to the solution

salt with the HER tag, that's damned right!!

rapmonster's so fun holy shit

The largest meta-analysis ever conducted on trans athletes just found no significant strength or aerobic differences after 1-3 years of hormone therapy. A separate brain imaging study found HRT restructures cortical architecture through receptor-mediated pathways. open.substack.com/pub/aridrenn...

pokemon doodles because I struggled trying to think of something cool to do with hsien-ko. What's your favourite trainer hmmm?

my flat as she is now laid out. don't really understand fisheye perspective at all
