Absolutely nauseating.

I swear the new Treks have done a better job with Voyager than Voyager did.

All true. We will resist.

Totally understandable. The assault on trans people is the tip of the spear of a larger assault on existence (vaccines, women's bodies, medication access, etc.). Those who see this as someone else's problem' have failed to see that the queue just hasn't gotten to them yet. We will resist.

You have nothing to explain, justify, or apologize for.

You're in good company

Just a comment on recent JRPGs, I would put Octopath Traveler 0 and Unicorn Overlord as easily being in the top 10, maybe even the top 5 JRPGs I've played. @mattbartlettvo.bsky.social I'm curious where they fall in your ranking.

Like the banshees of old he screams

I was watching The People's State of the Union instead

Watching The People's State of the Union instead. I'll catch the Trump highlights tomorrow, I don't need to listen to him rant incoherently for 2+ hours or whatever.

Rumor mongering YouTube channel publishes video with clickbaity title IN ALL CAPS, story at 11.

The fact that justice has not been served does not mean we should stop demanding it. Never accept tyranny.

There were a bunch of YT videos circulating recently of robots doing martial arts performances at a Chinese lunar new year festival.

I'm going to found a combined Crypto/prediction market/tornado cash platform where you can invest your money anonymously, bet on situations you control the outcome of, and then launder your ill gotten gains all on the same app. It shall be named "Torment Nexus", for no particular reason.

Ukrainian Olympian Is Disqualified Over Helmet Honoring War Dead

The IOC is of course entirely justified in banning such demonstrations to remain in keeping the Olympics long standing tradition of keeping politics out of sport.

The IOC also kindly requests that no one enter the terms 1936, Berlin, Hitler, Olympics, Jews, and Roma together into a search engine.

Israeli Army Reservists Are Suspected of Using Inside Knowledge to Bet

What can you even say about this?

Huh, don't think I know that one.

What game system, out of curiosity?

Ah, gotcha

Why did he have to kill his crush?

What happened?

In my day we didn't have all this internet stuff. We threw stones with notes tied to them at each other, and we were happy to have them! Through the snow, in 150 degree weather, up hill, both ways!

Maybe at this point it would be easier just to have a running list of politicians, royals, and CEOs who ARE NOT in the Epstein files.

You really do start to get the impression that the Venn Diagram of people with more than $10 mil US in the bank and people in the Epstein Files is very close a perfect circle. Something something power something something corrupts something something yes it's cliche and yet...

OF COURSE Bobby Kotick is in the Epstein files! Of course he is! Why wouldn't he be? Surprise anyone? Surprise? No? Pretend surprise even? How many other evil video game publisher CEOs were part of this clearly Not Very Exclusive Rich People's Club of Ill Repute? Bet it's more than a few!

Wow.

...what fresh hell has come now?
