So YT links in Google searches are now listing the video by title but using an entirely different (albeit tangentially related) video's thumbnail in the search results. Fun, I guess.

This is how I'm trying to live!

A good thing is a good thing but I wish they would happen in much worse, more public, more pain-filled ways. Feels like a lost opportunity for any justice thicker than the grave's.

You can talk to me about baseball if you have something delicious to share! If you bring nothing for the knowledge merchant, no trade will happen today!

Realizing, after some years of trying to figure out why they just hold no grip on my life at all despite being a focal point for at least two decades, that I really just like to *learn* about sports, not actually watch them or talk about them.

When we look at this massacre and many more perpetrated by the RSF, let's be clear who funds, equips & sustains them. It's the UAE. Yes, the same UAE that might own your football club, fly you on your holidays, invests in our national infrastructure. If boycotts work, we should be boycotting now.

4 panel comic Panel 1: bald guy in hoodie holds an orb containing a depiction of Mario game. He says: Halo is a bullshit game. Mario is a real game. Panel 2: He says: Army man is a fake game type. He has disdainfully closed his eyes. A monitor displays a FPS game with rifle trained on a hospital. Onscreen text says SHOOT THAT HOSPITAL, SOLDIER Panel 3: The person opens one eye to peek at an incoming comment from VAEVICTIS, who has a punisher skull avatar. The comment reads: Incorrect. Army man games teach 1: importance of shooting 2: importance of army man 3: submission to army man authority 4: importance of army authority Panel 4: the little bald gamer smiles and sighs. He says: I’m sorry, but you don’t know how to walljump. You don’t collect colorful object. You’re a fake gamer and your dad is slowly murdering you. In an insert illustration an army man labeled YOUR DAD is feeding a spoonful labeled DEATH POISON to a guy in a propeller beanie

The "shorter life, many chips" option feels like the cheaper, happier one by far.

I don't think most people understand that Trump could leave office tomorrow & US higher ed is still dead. It's completely broken beyond repair, & most Americans seem to give less than two shits - & *that* is a fundamental issue that won't go away without seismic shifts in US civic life.

Well, fuck.

Yes! Yes!

& THEY SET ONE UP IN A GRAVEYARD!!! Like, you'll never visit ole pop-pop again w/o Gastly blasting your ass with a Shadow Ball! (I already get that! My dad's buried in the middle of the Ozarks - it sucks!)

I know we've said this before, but *bonkers* politics in this one. Delicious but dizzying.

That's my thought & hope - otherwise, this Lumiose run by ex-Flare members, large corporations with a bad civil rights track record, & Richissime elites makes for a very cheery dystopia (that feels way too close to home in many ways for comfort).

I thought Jacinthe or Jett were going to seriously contribute to the plot! Wrong again! 😅 The coffee weirdos might think infinite indiscriminate extermination's a step too far? Not super "no" there too. Loan shark promises to stop predatory loans? Nope! PokeProtestors affect the plot? Once, barely!

I kept waiting for a rug pull given how disreputable half the NPCs are. At one point Emma sends you a message that says something like "you can totally trust L," & I remember thinking, *are you really sure about that, Game Freak?* & the answer is, yes! "Freak" is in the name! Egg on my face!

Also, hey, what about my fuckin' wish, man?!

Didn't play X or Y, so tbh the entire last third of Z-A was mostly lost on me. I don't know who these people are, I don't really care that much, & - honestly - I don't know why I'm supposed to be friendly with a bunch of fictional genocidaires.

Hey folks, my wife was laid off unexpectedly. We depend on her income with my own.

We are crunching numbers, but it's grim.

Not sure how we'll make it through November, let alone think about December.

You can help here, but we understand everyone is struggling too. <3

Committing suicide by going into the world of Possession & volunteering to be Mark & Anna's third wheel/trans "experiment" before I get beaten to death with milk & fed to the fuckable goop pile.

I wake up everyday thinking, "I wish I wasn't here," & there's no distinction between what I could be talking about. Full Bartleby hours.

I know there are a million worse things going on but working at a public university in a "diversity" role while higher ed becomes increasingly corporatized & the fascists have gone fully mask-off... It's feelin' pretty bad!

I didn't think we'd be here arguing over whether nationalism is a good or bad thing in the Year of Our Look Up "World War I" 2025 - or maybe I falsely assumed we all got a bad taste in our mouth from American flag-waving after 9/11.

Pretty obvious at this point that the "wanted to do endless colonial horrors" thing is *the* defining feature of the United States.

Fucked up how much contemporary Americans care about things like the "nation" & the military as concepts when earlier Americans (so often lionized) were suspicious of both & - to our continued shame - largely signed up for building a modern nation-state bc they wanted to do endless colonial horrors.

A "god-shaped void?" Sounds more like a
