I'm expecting something deeply fucked up, and I'm already too seated.

either the dipshit is gonna roll out the same pointless Blue Book crap that's been debunked past boredom, or he's gonna drop a whole ass dead alien on a podium because he's that mad Obama said something about the topic. It will be the former, but God PLEASE consider the latter.

A monumental and colossal fuck-up on Sony's part, saddling a studio that made beloved, award-winning, best-selling single player experiences with a live-service title that they then chickened out on, and then shuttering the studio. An absolutely outrageous failure of management.

What handsome bastards.

boy, you have no idea how often your forearms scrape or rub on your desk until you've got fresh tats on both.

Good. Also, fuck the Department of Education for attempting to pull this bullshit in the first place, and fuck this whole racist, shitty administration. And fuck ICE, while I'm at it, because that's just an evergreen at this point.

I would rather stab out my fucking eyes.

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

I'm seated for Mando and Grogu, but it's going to earn every bit of 'what and when was this meant for?' it has still coming. This thing has the most ABC Ewoks tv movie event energy I've felt since 1985.

It's the Year of the Horse! So I put on my cowboy hat and rounded up the very best of horses on the Nintendo Switch, with insights from the world's most horse expert, @malicedafirenze.bsky.social!

The mold-crusted sentient towel and his puppeteer minion is going to be especially interminable today.

Every child needs to hear this, and remember it, as a teen, as an adult, when they are very old.

Rest in Power Rev. Jesse Jackson

Day's not over yet. Still time for him to do the funniest thing.

Me watching Richard Gere angst for two hours because the voice of Mothman torments him: god I hate watching other people live my dream.

Doogie Howser was in Starship Troopers

Got my partner watching The Mothman Prophecies for the camp of it (and the one really good scene), and it's neat to know that your chance of having your cancer diagnosed by Mothman is low -- but never zero.

Since I'm probably not going to get picked up by aliens anytime soon, I'm just gonna get another tattoo this wed in order to emotionally cope with life on Earth. Please respect my turmoil at this delicate time.

Obama said aliens are real, happy Valentine's to me specifically. Everyone can debate the rest of the context, and yeah, we still got a lot else going on. But I'll be on my roof with a big sign and my hitchhiking towel.

And he said yes?????

One of the Cottingley Fairies photos. A little girl is surrounded by what is very obviously paper cutouts of fairy pictures.

Another of the Cottingley Fairies photos. A little girl is looking at what is, again, very clearly a cutout drawing of a fairy.

Yet another of the Cottingley Fairies photos. Once again a little girl is looking at what is, again, very clearly a cutout drawing of a fairy.

The final Cottingley Fairy photo. This one is supposed to be maintained as real. Again, very clearly paper cutouts. If you go look at the wikipedia page about it you can even see the original drawing from the book they were from.

Whenever people gush over AI I'm going to think about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle being utterly convinced that he'd discovered real scientific evidence of real fairies because he saw these pictures

America out here inventing entirely new heresies every day

Omg you guys didn’t have to get me anything for a Valentine’s Day! but that’s so sweet, I love it 🥰

Pay attention. Insane levels of voter suppression.

Conversation that I really hope happened:

PARENT: Yes, Principal, we have told him never to resort to physical violence. Of course we’re disappointed. He’ll be grounded for a month.

*five minutes later, in the car*

PARENT: Ice cream before or after we go get you that new PS5?

take my advice, don't try to discuss economic realities with tweens on Reddit. I need to not do that.

"Fortnite consultant." Like, and that's fine to be! But we all know what's being pictured.
