Porco Nostro 🏴🏳️‍🌈

Monday: “Dropout to host obscure indie web series Don’t Kiss Me I’ll Scream.”
Me: “Well, that’s neat.”
Tuesday: “Upcoming Game Changers episode to feature special guest, noted patriot Oliver North!”
Me: “Wha…?”

I see we’re in the rats-fleeing-the-ship phase of Microsoft’s slow motion downfall. Cool cool cool

Apparently the motto’s more of a goal than a warning.

Comparison shot of a white-haired character in three-quarter view rendered on Switch 2 (left) and original Switch (right). A caption boasts, “Enhanced Resolution—up to 4K.”

Nintendo out here throwing an unironic Office meme at us.

I’m sorry, but didn’t they say this exact thing about Starfield? Didn’t they slap a 2 onto the same jank-ass engine and expect us to not fume at the same bugs that afflict every Bethesda game?

Popping and downing that shit like Popeye. As I drop dead, time and space distend like Zeno’s arrow and I never hit the pavement. Thus I become immortal.

He may be kowtowing (Chinese face-to-the-floor style bow)? But yeah, looks more like he’s straight up dead.

Promo image of Limited Run’s release of Fear Effect 2 featuring tells and inconsistencies typical of AI art.

Unfortunately, the actual box art they used looks really AI generated (guns and hands on the left are real wonky). Hope this was something Square foisted on them and not produced by Limited Run themselves.

Famous Rowling tweet about the Jewish wizard Anthony Goldstein.

This is probably what Anthony Goldstein was getting up to while Harry and co. were dealing with the Chamber of Goblets or whatever.

@ifbookspod.bsky.social May want to bookmark this one for next January’s Worst Takes episode. Could be a front runner.

Well, persistent nightmares about guillotines will do that to ya.

Yes, I was especially moved by his advocacy for deporting and executing sex workers for the crime of doing their jobs.

Sorry but clown ass takes like this are why I will forever be an anarchist. Fuck your dead great men.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Screenshot from Skate Story of a pigeon on a desk at a laptop with the caption, “everything I write sucks.”

Cropped this one for better meme usage. Also to tack up in a corner of my heart any time I need a reminder that even the pigeons gotta wade through some tough drafts sometimes.

Rob-man! The Robster! Schneidageddon! Makin’ copies (of his divorce papers)!

Honestly, this isn’t all that damning. Capital-obsessed christofascists being genuine in their beliefs and coming off cringey in their speech is nothing new. It’s not even something Owens herself is innocent of.

YouTube video by Pinkerton Oh Brother, this guy stinks!

Didn't even grow up a Spongebob kid and yet I can't hear "oh brother" without auto-completing this bit

Lord Above, I’m dying! Both signs lead in the SAME direction. They couldn’t even get the slop machine to recreate the two paths diverging meme!

She’s utterly incapable of garnering the respect of others. Thankfully she doesn’t work in an industry that relies on trust and confidence.

I know libs will latch onto this and say “Looks like the 2nd Amendments off the menu, boys!” because they think catching R’s in these little word games amounts to substantive action, but I take some solace in that right wingers might pitch a fit because they believe the exact same thing.

Thanks for the input, Art. Say, y’all ever get around to solving those two lynchings from 2020, you sack of shit.

“Focusing on the brown shirts kicking in your neighbor’s door is a distraction from the wily bourgeoisie, actually.”

Clownish.

“We mean lowering the ages from, like, 35 to 25 and nothing more than that.

Nothing. More. Than. That.”

*sweating, eyes darting side to side*

Didn’t think I had any respect for the Dinotopia guy to lose and yet here we are.

YouTube video by WOKJ Clips Succession - How much is a gallon of milk? (S02e03)

Hearing rich people talk often reminds me of the “How much is a gallon of milk?” scene from Succession but never this directly.

I firmly believe that any organization that hands out “challenge coins” to its members should have both its members and its organizers flogged in the public square.

Wait, is that just a matte painting? They couldn’t spring for a set with actual stools and bottles?
