the future is already here it's just unevenly distributed. the USA will have gone from being a leading edge EV maker in the early 2010s to a global laggard by 2030, mostly because we elected Trump twice (and it'll probably kill the US auto industry)

I owe you an apology Estonia, I clearly wasn't familiar with your game.

A big part of why we are going to lose Democracy is that the people who we put in charge of protecting it don’t seem to realize that it’s incompatible with sexual assault

damn, Pixar management is sexist? and Disney too? if only someone had told us. or multiple someones. at repeated points throughout either and both companies' history. and maybe if it sometimes showed up in their work. and also if there was a cottage industry of articles and video essays about it.

To be clear, by framing Trump's aberrant behavior this way, CNN furthers Trump's white supremacist objectives.

Please make this mandatory in all critical workflows immediately.

Edits some of my favorite books... also, very cool when you accidentally email her.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

So much of the comics advice I've found most useful is not big-picture meaning-of-life storytelling stuff, but "every page should end on a mini-cliffhanger" and "make sure each issue includes at least one splash page the artist can sell at a convention"

Despite decades of study, every breakthrough in classification seems to be contradicted moments later. It is even unclear whether it appears the same to every individual looking at it. No two people seem to describe it exactly the same.

In Chinese #folklore, even rabbits are touched by lunar magic. A female rabbit is said to conceive not through ordinary mating, but by licking the fur of a male, lifting her eyes to the moon, and later spitting tiny rabbits from her mouth. 🎨 Chuxiong(楚雄)

ME: Why is everything so weird now? ALBANIAN ERIC ADAMS: seems fine to me

I love you people in the replies. 5-6 years down the line, your Gen Alpha friend is gonna show you Blorbo, the hot new cartoon that's actually about trauma?!? Its appeal will be obvious, but also somehow inscrutable to you. You will feel the warm and beautiful sense of cultural isolation I feel.

Best thing I’ve played so far this year by a mile. A dungeon crawler deconstructed to its essence. The invisible math that powers risk-reward play demystified. Art that makes the thing feel like it’s either from thousands of years in the past or another planet entirely. Fantastic.

There's a nostalgia for the 80's/90's monoculture among people my age and I think maybe we forget just how much of those shared cultural reference points that bonded us together were from shitty television commercials that aired ad nauseum.

much like george santos i fully support eric adams continuing to do eric adams things as long as it doesn't hurt the rest of us

easily one of the funniest guys america has had in decades

already tired of the british political class & media's perpetual surprise at muslim & immigrant support for the greens, as if it's some big mystery

along with "we killed more guys than them why aren't we winning the war?" "we'd be winning if our opponents FOUGHT LIKE MEN instead of being pussies" is a classic war-loser cope

This is the conservative vision for how to destroy public schools. Take the money that's supposed to go to them and send them to corrupt private schools instead. The plot to enslave America

They shouldn’t make a Metal Gear movie. The most interesting parts of the game & all the best beats were either expressed through gameplay or quirky Easter eggs. Plus a Hollywood film is incapable of capturing the density & gravity of the themes while still remaining Stupid. Only games can do that

I'll take any opportunity to repost this

Setting aside all other questions about impeachment, the idea that trying it against a president everybody hates would be a political *loser* for the opposition party is preposterous. Just say you don't want to work! It's more relatable

Yo, we're gonna be at New Game Plus! Come and be among the first humans to play two sick upcoming games, then receive a moist hug from an unpaid intern in a Volvy costume and be on your way.

Mega Man Star Force is one of the few games I've played that manages to relay childhood trauma in a way that connects with its target audience. I won't laud it as a pinnacle of storytelling, but as I'm replaying the legacy collection I'm realizing it was a formative part of my adolescence.

a lot of this site’s worst liberals are getting way to fucking comfy blasting out transphobia as a form of cope over any of us not liking their stupid politics or trashy articles.

great paneling here, another reminder to always read comics as they were meant to be read - two pages side-by-side, not one page at a time, or god forbid a vertical scroll. (unless the comic was made for those formats, obviously)

you love to see it!

Filling out my apology form for thinking Green Day were kinda cringe with American Idiot. That was absolutely the right artistic move in that time and place and everybody should keep making shit like that today

David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

WAIT NOOOOOOO

when jesus resurrected the romans were like no way and everyone else was like Yahweh

Update later tomorrow! Thanks for waiting!

The movie will have 5 minutes of screen time with Professor E Gadd before Luigi spends the rest of the movie with Leon Scott Kennedy

Perfect subversion of the bit that this is the kinda talk that’s normally paired with snatching your own hat off in anger and throwing it on the ground
