This doesn’t exist and will literally save $0

Oh my (via NBA)

Phantasy Star IV turned 30 years old in North America this month, so, for @pastemagazine.bsky.social, I wrote about why it didn't end up a hit like the classic contemporaries it was just as good as, and that plot twist it therefore doesn't get enough credit for. Unlike the megahit Final Fantasy VII.

oh my gosh. so young.

Word of the Day is ‘ingordigiousness’ (18th century): extreme greed at the expense of principles.

well that can't possibly be true, the implications would be too much to bear

Every day until the draft I will do my best to post a comp on here. This is Michigan DT Mason Graham.

Yes! The people defending this as trolling don’t understand what trolling is. “Libs will get offended by ANYTHING these days” only works if the thing you’re doing isn’t offensive!

This goes beyond sports. This is terrifying.

Somehow just 9 subscribers away from 4K on YouTube for Locked On #Guardians I'm not a numbers or milestone chaser because I've refused to measure myself that way. 4K is nothing compared to some bigger channels. But it does help us reach more fans and a little more $ youtube.com/@lockedongua...

We do a little writing

Today we have a guest post from @mmahoney.bsky.social! www.coveringthecorner.com/2025/2/25/24...

everyone on BlueSky recently

I think multiple elected officials just nonchalantly being like “Elon Musk is not a government employee and has zero authority so his words are basically toilet paper” would probably result in one of the most epic public breakdowns and illegal threats against federal officials we’ve ever seen

Joann had a sprawling retail footprint and was a victim of the slow US decline toward cheaper, more disposable clothing, but they also suffered a blow during Trump's first term. Trump's 2018 tariffs increased cost of imports and US equivalents were too expensive for customers.

I love boneless wings :3

Non zero chance this makes it really obvious how shit generative ai is

James Webb Satellite took a fantastic shot of the Planet Saturn with it's Near Infrared Camera (NIRCam) and the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI). This is just an Amazing shot that shows the planet and the rings in brilliant detail.

Wish I were one of Elon's kids so I'd never see him again

Sending an email to employees asking them to list five things they did that week is a classic move from a manager who has no idea how to manage

One of my best friends is from a sleepy, wealthy small town in the south-west of Germany. He said, so many of my parents’ neighbours are rich and bored, with little to complain about, and they’ve radicalised themselves at dinner parties and online. In their aimlessness, they’ve bonded over hate.

I'm not sure they even tried to center it

One man. One batting cage. Charlie Manuel doing what he loves most. Watching hitters hit. The essence of a spring morning in Clearwater FL

Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.

don’t know who needs to hear this but empathy doesn’t require eagerness. you don’t have to be excited about helping other people, you do it because it’s right and because the alternatives are worse

Just saw a thread about a guy calling into cspan saying his diabetic supplies increased from 5 dollars to 80 dollars and somebody in the comments, probably multiple people but I stopped reading, replied “FAFO” and I can’t stress enough how much you need to stop doing that shit

A lot of people who’ve posted that “I don’t know how to explain that you should care about other people” quote need to know that they should care about other people. I want my tax dollars to go to paying for insulin for the most vile MAGA asshole you ever heard of; that’s part of “everyone”.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

From a FOIA perspective, "the entire federal workforce should write down and email what they did last week" is extremely funny

Fine. I'll be the new Pope.

Barkley: I’m telling you the Gamecube was better than the SNES. the SNES is overrated Kenny: you’re crazy. he’s crazy, man Shaq: Chuck’s never played Chrono Trigger Barkley: how am I supposed to play a 30 year old game? Kenny: you NEVER bought a DS? Ernie: I like the Wii

He looks like a fantasy TikTok guy who would post film breakdowns I don’t respect

I literally reported this Wednesday.

Early response to Tarkir: Dragonstorm spoilers seems overwhelmingly positive. I think it shows that there strong demand for in-universe sets, a lot of players are just sick of "hat sets" or "holodeck sets" or whatever you want to call them.

Of the Chiefs of Staff, vice chiefs of staff, and judge advocates general of the three branches, Trump fired all the women and Black people.

hey, look at this. read it, reskeet this, like this, and do it as well. it's about trans people and passports. take it seriously. thank you!

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

“Billy, this is Mike Clevinger. He’s not a particularly good pitcher or person. He’s getting old & he’s prone to injury. He hit his wife and kid. Because of that other teams won’t sign him. But if we did he could be one of the worst starting pitchers of the season. Like an island of misfit toys.”
