Wow, not only do I despise Kalshi the app, but I absolutely HATE their AI ads that I keep getting bombarded with. This might almost be worse than the deluge of Crypto(dot)com ads from several years ago. 🤢

obviously the reason no one ever mentions how the Sheikah tech disintegrated post-BotW is because Zelda forbade bringing it up around Link, who is still really sensitive about faceplanting into Hyrule field at 70 mph when his cool motorcycle turned into dust while he was riding it

I see AI slop in anything, I instantly disregard the whole thing. It's like finding a slug in your salad. If you can't write without an LLM, or you can't source art that isn't genAI, you can't be trusted to do anything. Sorry. Absolute deal-breaker.

Wait... purchased DLC is a separate Virtual Game Card in the new Switch UI? This is actually one of the few cool things Nintendo has done recently. Lending DLC to someone is actually amazing.

I never thought we'd get a big ACNH update in this day and age 😭💖 #AnimalCrossing #ACNH #art

Apparently, you can even buy the Switch 2 physical version and it will boot into the Switch 1 version if used with a Switch 1 console. If you plan on getting a Switch 2 later down the line.

ICE has been shooting unarmed protestors in the head with pepper balls but sure, cold naked people on bikes are the most threatening thing.

Oh, gosh, Poppy in 2025???? I still think about the comic fondly and often.

If you accidentally post AI slop and are told “hey that’s AI” the correct answer is to go “aw shit I didn’t know” and delete it. Not “oh oops oh well, watcha gonna do” and keep it up because it’s giving you engagement. Stop it.

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

Two big red cats circle a terrified hog encased in ice. The cat's tails are flames and melt the ice partially, exposing some pig butt and giving it a singe. "Uh-oh Step-Pig, I'm Stuck...!" ok I made the joke for you so you don't have to. Hot ham smoke emits from the pig and spells "BECOME AN" and melted ice on the bottom spells "ICE-FREE ZONE"

The only kind of climate change I can approve of 😌

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

We made Melinoë's Sister Blades from Hades 2!

Do...do people generally not agree?

After going to an anime convention recently and subsequently getting back into Pokemon cards at the same time... All I can say is Damn...I love ART. All kinds of art. At my core, it seems to be one of the few things that help me feel joy in this crazy time.

It's RESTOCK DAY! ✨🎉🥳

We're celebrating the hard-earned end of the week with a special surprise restocking of some fan-favorite records.

So...surprise!

Hi! I saw you at San Japan a couple weeks ago and I've been thinking about your duck pins and embroidered tags since then. I noticed that they aren't available on your website. Are they only available at cons? Or will you be making them available on your website later?

Yooooo! I love the original glow in the dark medallion, I'm excited for this sculpted version. 🤩 I still have to pick up the embroidered patch to complete collection!

‘It's Just a Mess:' 23 People Explain How Tariffs Have Suddenly Ruined Their Hobby "The real kick in the teeth is no matter how much manufacturing is brought back to the US these items will never be made in the USA. There is no upside."

Talked to 23 people who suddenly have to pay huge tariffs or otherwise cannot get chainmail from Pakistan, yarn from France, retro computers from Japan, metal music from the Netherlands, DVDs from Germany, cosplay supplies, sunscreen, etc.

Alan Rickman was King Philip in the King of the Hill Renaissance Fair episode????

enshittification | noun | when a digital platform is made worse for users, in order to increase profits

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE 😭😵

a huge point that decorum-obsessed Democrats are missing is that everyone I know is literally boiling with rage 24/7 watching their country fall to fascism and desperately want to hear a politician acknowledge that and say "I am also angry"

>everyone doesn’t want teams to crunch
>shorter games with etc meme
>everyone panics when the team takes its time and doesn’t crunch
>everyone assumes the worst bc a product took its time to make

Worth remembering most players deep down have “gamer” tendencies, even the people who hate the term

Also, you can't see how it would be potentially harmful to set the precedent of rewarding someone with praise and work with them after they steal a design?

"Design rights have expired"?
What are you talking about?? Copyright lasts the entire life of the original artist, PLUS 70 years. If that seems excessive, you can blame Disney for that.

We can't talk about what's going on without talking about the deplorable state of law enforcement in this country and Democrats can't do that until they discard reflexive rhetoric like "Of course we have to respect the police." No we don't! Not when they act like this! And you should say it!
