Maybe it's for the escapism, but I love cozy games. I can sink hours into games like Animal Crossing and especially LGBT+ friendly ones like Rune Factory. I still love playing other genres, but sometimes I'm simply in the mood to relax with something wholesome.

Whoever said that they want to live in interesting times is an idiot.

I've been rewatching Star Wars Rebels and it hits even harder after Andor. Especially this episode with Mon Mothma. This episode came out in 2017, but this speech still feels very relevant. (Minor Rebels spoilers.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UEm...

I want to smack whichever studio executive thought that the 10 episode or less season model should be the default for streaming shows. While I'm glad Strange New Worlds is getting five seasons, but seriously? Six episodes? That's a stretched out movie.

I'm down for a Spaceballs sequel if Mel Brooks is still involved, and I'm very curious to see how they do it. But I'm dreading the discourse because the chuds still somehow think that Brooks is on their side and lack the media literacy skills to get his movies.

As America descends into fascism in real time, the one silver lining in all of this chaos is that other countries are able to see it as a warning to not repeat the same mistakes. It was still really good to see Canada and countries like Australia reject their own version of Trumpism.

The nuclear block is still one of Bluesky's best features because it actually works. Not only does it help protect yourself, it helps deny fascists, bad faith opinion columnists, scammers, scolds, and other shitty people with the platform and attention they crave.

I still feel that the studios would be better off if they put actual creative people in charge. People who have some experience in the field instead of some outside, soulless corporate executive who treat movies, games and people as numbers on a balance sheet.

PedoCon Theory is always proven right. Whenever a right-wing politician makes a big deal about LGBT+ people being "groomers" or goes on about "law and order", they will most likely end up in a @antifaoperative.bsky.social post within the next month or two.

Between tariffs and ICE, who the hell would even WANT to travel to America now? I know I won't be going there for the next four years.

Terminator 1 Predator Total Recall True Lies Jingle All The Way (guilty pleasure movie) But I fucking love Commando. Yeah, its cliche and cheesy as hell, but its pure mindless fun that's exactly why I love it.

One more month until Superman and I'm genuinely excited for this movie. Superman is exactly the kind of character we need right now - someone who is positive, kind, selfless, and simply wants to do good and help others.

I actually liked Veilguard, but yeah, this is a big problem with both the gaming and film industry that doesn't get talked about enough. Meddling executives, who typically aren't even creative people, who set unreasonable expectations and deadlines, which leads to crunch.

The one thing that conservatives love more than anything is being fake victims. It's easier for them to whine on the news and social media for sympathy points to sell their bigotry and fascism than it is to have a good faith debate.

How the hell did we lose two music legends in the span of a few days? RIP Sly Stone and Brian Wilson.

"Nobody asked for Andor." "The general audience is tired of live action remakes." "The Switch 2 has no hype." Once again reminding people that just because a talking point trends on social media, that doesn't mean it happens in real life. Especially when it comes to art and entertainment.

About damn time. It's nice to see Disney sue someone who actually deserves it for once and this is the one time I'll be rooting for them to win. And who wants to bet that this will be the AI company's defense?

Have you noticed how much fascists and chuds desperately need us for their content? They need us far more than we ever needed them. Calling them out is a good thing, but it's not like we base our life around "owning" them or reacting to them like they do.

Lol, what a predictable coward. Meanwhile, Greta Thunberg has been doing actual activism despite years of threats from fascists. Even in the past few days she's shown more political courage than most politicians, billionaires, and slacktivists will in their lifetime.

Impressive numbers for a console that people online insisted would fail, though it'll be interesting to see it can keep that up with tariff BS and inflation. Nintendo deserves plenty of criticism and the console itself isn't perfect, but declaring that it'll fail was very premature.

Planet of the Apes. There's the original pentalogy. The terrible Tim Burton remake that we don't talk about. The actually very good reboot trilogy. And a sequel to the trilogy that's also very good.

Why is positivity so discouraged and demonized on social media? Is it really for the clout chasing? Hell, I've noticed that even videos that aren't 100% negative or don't feature some loser screaming insults at a movie get unfairly criticized for not being negative enough.

I can't help but notice that the people who insist that Bluesky is supposedly "dying" are shitty fascists and opinion columnists who are big mad that they don't have a platform here and they're much more likely to face actual criticism than over at the Nazi bar.

One only needs to look at Target's declining profits and customer base to see what happens to a business that chooses to bend the knee to fascism. "Go fash, lose cash" is a much more accurate slogan.

Lol, because the Metaverse and NFTs worked out so well? Maybe try coming up with something actually useful instead of chasing the latest fad.

You should not feel pressured or scolded into constantly talking about politics and every current event. Especially if it's something that you don't feel like you're qualified to talk about or when other people with much bigger accounts already are talking about it.

It doesn't matter how many times the chuds chant it or how many low effort slop YouTube videos they make, "Go WoKe Go BrOkE!" still isn't a thing that happens. I think the average person outside of the Fox News and YouTube bubble simply doesn't give a shit.

"Tate checking" is a good thing, actually, and men should do it as well. Tell your male friends that if they become fascists and spend all their time listening to fascists, creeps, bigots, and conspiracy theorists, then you will cut them out of your life.

The Mario Kart World soundtrack goes way harder than it needed to, but I'm really loving the remixes of older Mario music. Noticing a bit of jazz theme for some of the retro tracks. www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNZj...

John Carpenter's The Thing (1982) is probably one of my favorite horror movies of all time. It's interesting in that it got negative reviews when it released, but is now regarded as one of the best. Its also one of Keith David's earliest roles.

What I love about the recent resurgence of Canadian pride is that it's not based in bigotry and fascism. It's more about buying Canadian and sticking it to Trump and fascists in general. We even reclaimed the flag from the fascists who were using it at their rallies.

Community Notes is probably the last good thing to come out of Twitter in the past couple years, and honestly, I think Bluesky could use a similar feature.

Reminding people to not harass any of the child actors in that Harry Potter reboot. The adult actors who willingly sign up for this shit knowing that it helps fund hate campaigns? Call them out, especially if they stay silent on her hate or make excuses for it.

Dealing with all the scolds and anti-fun killjoys on Bluesky is annoying, but still a thousand times better than being back at the barely functioning Nazi bar where you'll be threatened and exposed to all kinds of vile hate speech and fascist propaganda.

It's very interesting how all the things that conservatives tried to scaremonger us about, particularly about a big tyrannical government that would arrest innocent people, take away people's rights, and suppress free speech, always seems to happen under right-wing governments.

Stating the obvious, here. Not only is AI stealing art and destroying the environment, its going to ruin people's critical thinking skills, creativity, research skills, and their desire to learn anything new. AI needs to be heavily regulated. gizmodo.com/microsoft-st...

Have you noticed how the biggest MAGA influencers are all failed actors, losing athletes, and people who lack creativity? You almost never see anyone who is at the top of their game going MAGA and still hold on to their career. MAGA and bigotry don't sell to anyone outside of the base.

Good. The Warner Bros Discovery merger has been nothing short of a dumpster fire, thanks largely in part to Zaslav's greed, incompetence, penny pinching, and anti-art business practices. As long as he remains in charge, WB's problems will continue to get worse.
