england taken by surprise with quick action from dr congo because the nhs usually requires much longer waits

One extra knock-on effect of this that is gonna suck eggs: A lot of folks--myself included--use their PS5 as their only 4K Blu-Ray player. By removing disc drives from whatever the fuck the PS6 is going to be, they are effectively going "hey if you wanna watch movies, buy TWO new things"

Is handing everything over to rent-seeking digital landlords who want complete control of what they want to sell you in the limited window they want to sell it to you good?

I have obviously contributed to this- I can’t remember the last time I bought a physical game. But also, we’ve been using our PS5 to play Blu-ray’s and DVDs more and more bc streaming is an enshittified disaster these days. 😒

Every baby is precious. Every life is precious. That’s why we need to ban abortion. But also this doesn’t apply to low wage foreigners. Or anyone else I don’t like. Basically when i say all life is precious I mean mine

We've reached a point in human history where "Celebrate the love" is some kind of radical statement Embrace it

TIL the world's new favorite himbo once bought a 13th century copy of one of the Norse Sagas for $150,000, then donated it to the library because "I'm not much of a reader."

Our most talented team ever with our most competent manager ever possibly getting done in by woo bullshit would be a bit on the nose

Doctor Who: Thin Ice 🗣️ MY DOCTOR PUNCHES RACISTS 🗣️ Seriously though, what a charming soft reboot season so far. I adored everything about S9 but all of it was *so* heavy. Just having some timey wimey adventures right now is a delight.

There’s number one, @wellthats.bsky.social!

The ban is heinous for what it does to transgender athletes. But if you think cisgender girls and young women won’t be caught up in the fallout, too, you are woefully ignorant

The Supreme Court today addressed one of the most pressing threats to the nation today: banning this high school sophomore from playing school sports with her friends 🫡🫠🙃

@protecttranskids.university "I told all of your colleagues, those clown comics, to fix their hearts or die."

Anyway, trans rights are human rights. And as always: anyone obsessing over genitals writ large is a pervert.

The right to discriminate now supercedes basically all other rights under this SCOTUS.

Clarence Thomas's concurring opinion in the trans sports ban case in West Virginia contains some of the ugliest transphobic stuff I have ever seen in a legal opinion. Straight-up gleeful. Vile man. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

The ISU have decided that figure skating has been wholesome and fun for long enough I guess - time to get back to it's roots of abuse and corruption

The top of tomorrow’s column on the Great American State Fair, arguing it’s patriotic to savor a bully’s humiliation:

They hate him so much lol

We can have this always guys. We really can

Me, to @wellthats.bsky.social: here, I’ll turn on the game for you! Me, 5 minutes later: yes okay, we can turn off the game

The GOOLLLLLLLL while he’s clearly fighting back tears…..electric

Today: CONMEBOL 2 Axis powers 0

We are all the little kid screaming VAMOS

Oh hell yeah, this RULES

We’re back to the Sunday market manipulation loop, folks

I know the list is endless but I genuinely think trashing the legitimate congressionally chartered org for celebrating the 250th to instead hijack our national assets and taxpayer funds for his personality cult grifter crap should, in and of itself, be fully sufficient to merit removal from office.

Same

greyhound playgroups are my favorite oxymoron

Compare & Contrast with “The Great America State Fair” this weekend

We got slowed by work being stupid but we back! Doctor Who: The Pilot What a delightful soft reboot! My Doctor is a MFing dweeb and dear god I love him. 😂 (thx for wrecking me at the end with Clara’s theme tho) Also Bill seems awesome! I’m sure she won’t die traumatically later in the season!

My absolute favorite part of World Cup coverage has been how much Zlatan hates Alexei Lalas. 😂

I care deeply about, like, 8 people in my life and somewhere between 400 and 600 dogs on the internet I've never met.

my kind of Jubilee, the Japanese national team vs. 100 kids

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

the next democratic president and congress should revive the idea of world's fairs. the idea behind this would be great if it hadn't been planned and executed by a group of incompetent groyper shitbags

Happy #PrideMonth! Enjoy a Tesla getting smashed by a light rail train with a pride flag.

The best reason to come out loudly as bisexual

The lottery sign with “can you imagine” at the end could not have been scripted

lmao mr. met doesn't give a fuck about your manager happy pride

Our local zoo had a Pride night tonight, and they absolutely understood the assignment. 😂 🏳️‍🌈

people whose entire activism resume is "I yell at randos on bluesky when they shop somewhere I don't like" are never going to be my allies, no matter how perfect their politics are on paper. I'll take an imperfect fighter over a performative politician.

pretty devastating dunk at the end of this paragraph

What MLB radio commercial is going to cause me to snap first? Publix Service Announcement -or- “I need to shoot and scare a mountain lion that’s threatening my family”

Won’t someone think of the billionaires who cannot afford to build a competitive roster?

The shirts cost $50, and the team earns higher profit margins off merch from stadium team stores than anywhere else The Sox could be minting money off Murakami, Colson , the Pope, etc If a team in a large market is terrible at business why should anyone feel sorry they don’t have a huge payroll?
