hill i will die on: not all 3D ages poorly. perceptions of an aesthetic change the older a game gets. i think the way Myst and Riven have aged is proof that 3D art can get better with age, especially as aesthetics lose context of the era a game is in.

Saw a Miyamoto-signed Switch on eBay and looked at the description, as Miyamoto signed stuff is so rare there's always some story (if it's authentic). Turns out that in 2019 Miyamoto took a trip to Nashville and set up a private concert with a bluegrass video game cover band called Hit Points.

I'll say I didn't expect James Cameron to be the type of guy to come out as vehemently vocally anti-AI but I'll totally take it wow

From a shoe company whose shoes I really like. I feel like we're going to be seeing a lot more "we're raising prices because of tariffs" emails these days...

One of the reasons fascism will always fail is that it's an anti-humanity philosophy that can't sustain anything. All it does is destroy, it makes nothing, it supports nothing, it prevents anyone and everyone from being. It also seems to come with a lot of incompetence for the same reason.

I'm not sure how soaring egg prices, mass firings, emboldened Nazis, a Measles outbreak, and planes falling out of the sky count as "wins" to MAGA, but I'd sure hate to see what losing is to them.

i love seeing cybertrucks in the wild because half of the time this is the park job

PLEASE: Watch what happened in Coeur d'Alene Idaho today. This is fascism. Unmarked cops. 1A violations. RESIST.

talking about trans people: yup. they’re all groomers. and they’re targeting your children talking about a 40 year old streamer: look he may have groomed a child but he did it to make a very important point

For those following the story of unidentified men violently dragging a protester from a local Idaho GOP meeting, it turns out they were from a private security firm called LEAR Asset Management. But neither the sheriff (who watched it all go down) or the GOP will take responsibility for hiring them.

As an elder anime fan, I never thought that Ranma 1/2 would ever be popular again. I’m so happy a new generation of folks get to experience one of my favorite Rumiko Takahashi series.

Hitler said the Third Reich would last 1000 years. It lasted 12 and he died cowering in a bunker. Fascism always fails.

the current trump administration has done dozens to hundreds of evil acts so far but the worst by far is rewarding those we all dunk on online with government positions. they can’t win like this

social media needs to be regulated and treated very much like we currently treat drugs. that's long term. in the immediate term? focus on the 75% of men who aren't voting for fascists. you will have more luck reaching and organizing them than deradicalizing Andrew Tate fans.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

I need to emphasize: this is comically ineffective You can't "overwhelm the algorithms" when the algorithms can be tweaked in realtime by malevolent actors who want the misinformation See, e.g., ExTwitter

This is the map they don't show you in school!

"No Kings" is just a vocal warm-up. Anything less than the energy of workers marching with a FULLY FUNCTIONAL GUILLOTINE on Walt's birthday during the 1941 Disney Animator's Strike should be the bare minimum.

Day 54: It's time for another Lazy Sunday color comic, recollecting the many crimes of my orange son

this is a whole thread of punching nazis! enjoy

He was too Black for the moment.

i was thinking today about how weve demonstrated that if we elect someone president their criminal status is irrelevant

Dear manager: 1: We're no strangers to love 2: You know the rules, and so do I 3: A full commitment's what I'm thinking of 4: You wouldn't get this from any other guy 5: I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling. Gotta make you understand

“We found out where they lived, us punks. We started egging their houses on the regular. Including through the screens of their open windows. We harassed them whenever they made themselves visible. We didn't care that they were cops, the cops harassed us punks anyway.”

lol he's gonna get a mistrial because the pigs got too horny for fame

✅ You can only catch 1 per save ✅ Dropping Salty Herba Good luck!

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

Wisconsin GOP Rep Glenn Grothman faced a hostile townhall today too in Oshkosh. It’s spreading and turning into a pattern

the price of eggs really ups the level of contempt here

The fires that stoked the bigotry & racism that caused the Civil War have been passed down through generations, the Civil War never really ended, what we are witnessing now are those tiny embers reigniting into a raging wildfire.

So let's get this straight: The U.S. and Elon are now extorting Ukraine and threatening to turn off their Starlink Internet access unless they give their critical rare earth minerals to the United States? Staggering levels of corruption.

"Comply or be punished!" They're going to punish you anyway. All they want is for you to comply, so don't give them what they want. This isn't an honorable fight, their word is worth nothing, they're not going to NOT punish you because you complied. Don't comply.

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access
