Sad Puppy really was a whole decade ago already, huh?

Before we get deeper into this rabbit hole, please remember that not everyone wants to read about sexual exploitation and assault. You don’t have to repost everything about the files, and you do owe people a content warning

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

a man in armor is standing in front of a group of people and says death . Alt: King Théoden of Rohan leading the charge, screaming "DEATH!"

this is what my entire timeline looks like right now

If you’ve historically been a “vote blue no matter who” type, it’d be cool if you could use this moment to understand why vilifying leftists who actually do think it matters is basically a psyop you accidentally fell for. This is why people warn you about guys like Newsom.

The show cannot stop talking about how Joe Biden is the ideal politician.

Personally I don't think 30 Rock works either. It pushes this emphasis on common ground. And while it could say that a milquetoast feminist like Liz being essentially the same as Jack is more true than they realized, the show needs you to like Jack at least a little bit in order to function.

I totally meant to pay attention to the playoffs, but baseball and soccer and World of Warcraft had a hold on me. How did SVG do?

Yoshinobu Yamamoto is the 2025 World Series MVP 🏆

He joins Hideki Matsui (2009) as the only Japanese-born winners of the award.

All these World Series ads for Canadian snacks are making me hungry...

Oh, you like baseball huh?
Well, we’re going to sit here while you smoke this whole pack of baseball and THEN we’ll see how you feel.

Oh shit what up

Tetris player taking testosterone blockers, now that's a T-spin.

Oh wow, the cover up tattoo is a literal dog whistle

So anyway, maybe voice actors aren't crazy, greedy bastards for wanting protections against their voices being used to train AI after all

The thing about indie bookstores, they’re a network working towards the shared goal of keeping book culture alive before competitors in capitalism. Booksellers help each other across stores & share resources. As a writer I have a neighborhood bookstore that’s home but I get down with tons of them.

This is inspirational. I'd given up on ever dancing again after breaking my ankle last year, but now I want to hit that therapy extra hard

I remember one interview asking him which DOA girl he actually thought was the sexiest, and his answer was "those girls are my daughters, I don't think of them that way"

Tekken 1 Hate Tekken 2 Hate Tekken 3 Hate Tekken 4 Hate Tekken 5 I can no longer figure out what the hell they’re trying to do with the. Hm Bering and I don’t know which one is which. I don’t know what they’re trying to do with all these spin offs so this includes Nina Death by Degrees as well. I don’t think it even needs to be said. It’s annoying please don’t annoy me anymore

RIP TOMONOBU ITAGAKI

Remember when Leroy was first revealed and Black Tekken Twitter invited Harada to the cookout? I wonder if those same folks are seeing this.

You owe it to yourself to watch one of Dr. Ricki Hirsch's video essays.

just heard northernlion say "I could honk the shit out of a shoo right now" and that just goes to show why everyone should study linguistics because the fact that that phrase is entirely coherent is FASCINATING

This. Plus, if you list it as the third title, the logo will still make sense and guide people to that initialism anyways!

Jay Graber Confuses the Gas and Brake Pedals As your new Head of Comms I advise you to please stop posting this shit.

"Why is antagonizing the existing bluesky userbase harmful to bluesky inc's goals?

It feels odd to even have to answer this question"

In all seriousness, the "LLMs are people and you're racist if you don't like them" shit is the natural endpoint of a consumerist society in which consuming and fandom are the only modes of identity-building many people understand. Finally, a product no one can tell you not to love.

The fact that it is literally, physically not a person is what made me okay with saying it
