Many are paying tribute to One Piece and Dragon Ball anime director Tatsuya Nagamine, who passed away this summer. https://bit.ly/47Psft7

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Tonight was a very bad night.

So glad the shiny is finally coming out, that bird has been my GO arch-nemesis for how long it's been in the game but couldn't be shiny.

not that anyone's shopping at target anyway but I hate this customer service model so much. please don't have every employee try to engage with me while I shop. I promise I'll let you know if I need help.

Yeah and maybe that should include every single American with no exceptions??????

‘Dragon Quest’ Producer Isn’t Worried About Releasing Too Many Remakes After producing remakes of the first three ‘Dragon Quest’ games, Masaaki Hayasaka now wants to pitch a new franchise

I spoke to the producer of Dragon Quest 1+2 HD about the deluge of Dragon Quest remakes (4 games in 16 months!), the big changes they made for 1+2, and what he wants to do next (pitch a new IP to his boss, Tomoya Asano).

Yeah this got me for mine too, wasted so many candies trying to figure out what the hell I was doing wrong. Does the Pro Controller not have a gyroscope/accelerometer??????????????

there are probably a number of people who are pro-union but quiet about it on written platforms in an attempt to mitigate retaliatory behavior from paranoid employers. pic unrelated

‘Grand Theft Auto’ Studio Accused of Union Busting After Firings Union says 30 and 40 people were terminated. Rockstar Games’ parent company cites ‘gross misconduct’

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

anyone who boosts AI has to explain to me why this is worth it

I legitimately didn't know they were competing with Steam and it's crazy to me that they burnt so much money on what sounds like something with very little (or wildly misguided) market research.

“awful people don’t deserve to be killed, but they don’t deserve to be praised, either” is apparently a thought too complex for the pundit mind

Seen stuff about resellers just getting in and making thousands of orders on Pokemon Center for Phantasmal Flames before it was even publicly up.

I am frankly sick of these people ruining the hobby. I honestly can't wait for them to leave. The sooner the better.

Here - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 A much younger and smaller August is outside and staring up at the night sky. He is overwhelmed with a strong feeling existence. He might just be a small part of the world but he exists. He has a thought. "I'm here." Panel 2 August is now a teenager and is once again looking up to the night sky. He's at a point in his life where he feels stuck. He's overwhelmed with a lot of negative feelings. He continues to exist. He thinks "I'm still here." Panel 3 August is an adult now. He's now stands under the stars while holding his infant son, Gustopher. He looks up and contemplates all that's been happening in his life. He wonders how he's going to keep going. He wonders how he's going to make things work. Within all of his chaotic thoughts, one sticks out. "We're here." Panel 4 August is now older. Gustopher is older too. They're enjoying the night sky together and talking about the stars. Gustopher is happy. August is happy. Life can be difficult but there's times like this that make it all worth while. "We're still here."

Calling it “DEI” feeds into shitty branding and gives more power to terrible people that are using a buzzword as ammo in a stupid culture war that is cover for their own inadequacies. This company jettisoned basic human decency, empathy, and equality. That’s why it’s tanking.

NOW WHERE IS SHAOLIN MONKS?!?

Regina Hall and Anna Faris are officially returning for ‘Scary Movie 6’

Family IT - Gator Days Transcript Panel 1 August's parents are having a barbecue! Fergus is at the grill and want's August's help with a small phone problem. He's wearing one of his many novelty aprons. This one says "GRILL ME UP". He also has aprons that say "JUST GRILL ME" and "GRILL BE ALRIGHT". August is bringing a bowl of a mysterious substance that people like to call a salad but it's probably 80% mayonnaise. The burgers on the grill are almost ready. Fergus: Augie, how do I see my phone mail? August: Press the envelope icon. Panel 2 Fergus looks at his phone in an attempt to find this mysterious envelope. It doesn't help that he's not wearing his reading glasses that he claims he doesn't need but he definitely need them. The burgers on the grill are done. Fergus: Where's that? August: On the home screen. Panel 3 Fergus stares at his phone in an attempt to find this mysterious home screen. Maybe there's an icon that says home screen? It's hard to tell with all the cracks on his screen. August is waiting patiently because he can tell his help will still be required. The burgers on the grill are overdone. Panel 4 Fergus admits defeat. Fergus: What's home screen? August: I'll do it. While it would admittedly be best for August to teach his Dad exactly how to find his email, he also knows that this would probably take up the majority of the barbecue. For now, it's just easier to do it himself. The burgers on the grill are about to burst into flames.

Poster for the movie I enjoyed, "The Naked Gun." The star of the picture, a mister Liam Neeson is in the foreground of the poster doing a split (in a suit; he's wearing a suit with a red or brown tie) with both legs splayed out to the edges of the poster. Behind him are the words - in big pink letters - THE NAKED GUN. Beneath it says, "The Law's Reach Never Streched This Far. Coming Soon" and underneath that is the skyline for Los Angeles, the city of dreams! Anyway, you have a good night.

They did it. They pulled it off. The Naked Gun is easily one of my favorite films of the year. It just machine-guns jokes in a way that I missed so much. It is stupid. It is nonsense. It broke me and remade me. I'm a better man for having witnessed this movie. Go see it in a theater with a crowd.

The mystery of life isn't a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

@gameovergreggy.bsky.social Greg where is this two parter Gregway from yesterday??? My ears need it asap! 💜
