Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Thinking about how I had to track down every collectible doodad in the last of us p2 just to watch Ellie drop her backpack and leave all my work behind.

Everyone who worked on a video game needs to be in the credits:

Oh… wait. Nevermind. The squirrel one. Now I’ll have to forget Foamy the Squirrel all over again.

I feel like my memory have have purposely flushed itself so I can’t remember anything other than some skit about the lord of the rings.

The fact that you had to dig deep into the barrel of 2005-era forgotten X-play gags and 4chan shitposts to find a joke about Itagaki's passing is honestly pretty embarrassing.

Me: “How’s jury duty?”
Wife: “They keep objecting to everything and it’s annoying the hell out of me. It’s such a bad look he’s so rude!”
Me, trying to find out how to refund the gifted copy of Ace Attorney on her Switch: “Oh yeah, haha, that sounds terrible…”

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”

“If the car’s gone,”

“I’ll give you another cookie anyway”

“because I love you.”

Happy Columbo’s Day

Congratulations!!!!!

If the US can ever vomit this stupid era out we're gonna need widespread all-ages education on basic facts like when you'd see old billboards or MST3k shorts advertising the concept of hand washing or being good. Stop Using Gasoline To Wash Clothes. Springs Are Ubiquitous & Essential To Modern Life

Holy shit someone uploaded the entire stage play adaptation of the Yakuza videogame series with English subtitles and it’s glorious and 500x better than the Amazon show youtu.be/Z2Msr4si6dU?...

The intro of Yakuza Kiwami 2 finds Kiryu and his adopted daughter Haruka at a cemetery. Kiryu can't believe it's been a whole year since Yakuza Kiwami 1. Honestly, neither can I.

I may have screwed up with most of this year's backlog project, but I will not fail. My yearly Yakuza series playthrough must continue! I can't let Kiryu down!!!

You know how there’s been this big push towards encouraging older people to do puzzles, cognitive games, and to learn new things to keep them from succumbing to dementia?

Wonder where that’s gonna go with the rise of “outsource your cognitive functions to AI, it’ll be convenient” culture

Did this on a plane and probably drew the air marshal’s attention for how mad I was getting.
Replayed on PC and found a way to make it much more manageable.

Hornet of Hollow Knight fame standing on a wooden platform above the infamous spike pits of Hunter's March. She is looking towards the viewer with the implication that they are her next target. There are slain red ant enemies (Skarrs) from the game seen in the back. Erm... Run!!!

POV: you're a small ant and hornet needs one tick of silk to heal (she's at 1 hp)

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

What the hell!!?? Me when I find that scammer

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Hahahahaha

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Here’s a thing I’ll add, as someone who’s been there: if you’re the CEO of a platform with millions of users, you don’t get to have as much fun on that platform, period. And your job is to eat shit every time a legitimate critique of policy comes up. That’s the gig. Don’t sign up if you aren’t game.

Some birthday gifts that arrived: the LEGO GameBoy set, and a t-shirt featuring Mr. (Ant) Tenna with his signature catchphrase: “It’s!! T V!! Time!!”

Birthday treats

Meet your FAT BEAR WEEK 2025 champion.

Chunk the Hunk. The Chunkster. 32 Chunk.

All hail the new king of Brooks River 👑

Something from Deltarune about an old man. He's old. It's me. I'm old.

Somehow, a birthday has returned.
(I will celebrate by eating too much food and getting sick)

You can trace their lineage all the way to “one guy in a narrow hallway who is as tall as the hallway”.
