Cube!

I know calling reps is very nerve racking. You're not sure what's the right thing to say, and tbh having a script thrown at me makes things just as nerve racking.

I called today, and I figured I'd write up a transcript of how my call went down. Hopefully it helps demystify the process

I'm stealing a @davidjroth.bsky.social bar here, but Trump doesn't have plans—he barely has an agenda. For his entire life, he's scrambled from one greasy hustle to the next, vomiting up lies/declaring victory when shit invariably goes south, leaving other ppl to clean up the mess he's left behind.

Trump has precisely one move in his bag and it's saying "I win" and running away when shit hits the fan

he is a pedophile who has dementia. none of this should be even slightly surprising and it's depressing that it is

in a few years "groveling corporate apology guy for any executive statements made from 2024-2028" is gonna be a whole ass profession

As I've mentioned before: if Hasbro releases a Harry Potter MTG:A set you take a break from MtG:A until it's no longer the new set. Get none of the cards. Not even with the free in-game currency. Make it actively lose them daily log-ins.

You need to call your reps and demand that they OPPOSE:

-the KIDS Act
-KOSA
-the Screen Act
-Sammy's Law
-the App Store Accountability Act

And additionally, oppose:

-reforming/sunsetting Section 230
-online age verification/ID laws

the funniest part of this is, if that 12% is accurate (it's not), that's extremely normal, especially for a full conversion. most places would be thrilled at just a 12% click through rate!

this man does not know how a conversion funnel works, and is crying on the toilet over it lol

Would never in a million years imagine that a Pokemon game is what’s tempting me the most to get a Switch 2 but that’s the situation

lineup of nintendo consoles, laid out in two rows column 1: SNES (top row), Game Boy (bottom row) column 2: Nintendo 64 (top), Game Boy Color (bottom) column 3: Nintendo GameCube (top), Game Boy Advance (bottom) column 4: Wii (top), Nintendo DS (bottom) column 5: Wii U (top), Nintendo 3DS (bottom) column 6: Nintendo Switch 2 (top), Nintendo Switch (bottom)

does this make sense

It's been truly incredible watching this happen in real time. But, of course, the truth is that all reactionary nostalgia of this sort is consumerism-saturated nonsense. It's all aesthetics, things you can buy, etc.

Two bugs, one winner

This song feels incredibly relevant today.

The "visibly marginalized person" meme. The visibly marginalized person says "I'm being harmed by imperialist policies now." The other person, labeled "average Zionist," says "I just fantasized about the Ayatollahs killing you."

Updated the meme

“Hollywood understands anime/asian culture now!”

I just heard from someone at Disney that the success of KPop Demon Hunters sent the entire executive team into a “we need demon hunting anime” frenzy that lasted months

Yes, they STILL think it’s anime

Yesterday, the KIDS Act has Passed the E&C, and soon will be pushing into the house! This is a combination of KOSA, SCREEN Act, App Store Accountability Act, and other bills into one package.

Contact your Reps, and tell them to OPPOSE these bills! Stay strong, and fight for your rights and privacy!

I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

mcdonald's has to call them shamrock shakes cause they don't contain any real milk or rocks

We live in a world where the binge-drinking Fox News weekend host who didn't wash his hands for a decade is openly boasting about committing genocide.

“Why does my kid stop dropping his pizza on the floor?”

FAFO

Oh great. The racists want a nuclear war to *checks notes* make a white ethnostate riddled with radiation poisoning, massive cancer risks and other health issues.

RE9 comic Big monster dragging Grace away as she screams Monster gets shot in the face BLAM!! Leon smugly: "Seems like she was... a bit of a drag" Grace, having nearly died by a giant freakish monster, looks up at Leon entirely confused "huh?"

i almost had my head bitten off by a giant freakish monster, why is this old man making lame jokes at me 😭 #re9

There is literally no way to find a real life fox that attractive and that’s sort of the dealbreaker for folks, most real life foxes just want to eat chickens and not be sexy

a screenshot from Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace featuring Jabba the Hutt overseeing the Boonta Eve Mos Espa Pod Race. if you're an insane freak and you look at the timeline of events of the current Star Wars canon, Rotta the Hutt was born a little bit after this time if he is supposed to be a ten-year old baby when Anakin is an adult.

Jabba the Hutt is pregnant in this scene
