I had to put down my beloved guinea pig today and my heart is shattered.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

I'm going kobold mode. It's like goblin mode but slightly more obscure and slightly less interesting

he’s right and he’s right to say it

my endorsement for any democratic presidential candidate who promises to send the entire DOGE team to prison

I'm so tired of seeing AI slop all the time. It breaks my heart how little everyone seems to care.

Gonna be real with you, this feels like an advertisement for spiritual death

You should never make jokes. I've been stuck playing a joke D&D character for four years

Great times if you're a monstrous stupid piece of shit

Scientists predict that by 2027 Will Arnett will be in 100% of commercials

Getting personally offended that Marjorie Taylor Greene is allowed to get rich by doing insider trading

Vacillating wildly between "he's an idiot" and "he's a traitor taking his revenge out on America" and "he's corrupt and just doing market manipulation" on a 15 minute rotation

Been playing Assassin's Creed Shadows and the film nerd in me has appreciated that they seem to have intentionally avoided stuffy, predictable Kurosawa homages and have instead opted to draw from more pulpy, more tonally appropriate samurai films like Baby Cart at the River Styx and Lady Snowblood

I do think it's worth marking and remembering that these people were willing to tolerate everything we've experienced since January and more provided it didn't disrupt the economy.

History books on the 2007 global recession: a series of complicated dominoes falling brought the global economy to its knees History books on the 2025 global recession: so, they elected a moron

I know it sounds conspiratorial but I think people should start taking seriously the possibility that he is doing this as a deliberate act of sabotage

real

Gonna say it, Switch 2 reveal gave me a lot of Wii U vibes

Eventually everyone is going to claim they were always against genAI and when that day comes I'm gonna be there with receipts

I've finally figured out the best way to describe the difference between "midwit" and "halfwit" and it's the breed of ignorance/incompetence distinguishing Elon Musk from Donald Trump

"The Wind Rises," a Studio Ghibli film directed by Hayao Miyazaki is explicitly about a person whose love for his craft and its liberating, exhilarating capacities is thrown into conflict with that same art being twisted and warped into an industrialized, fascist death machine

Screaming into the void that art matters, it matters that it's personal, that it takes work, that it has value deeper than mere "product", and we are going to regret losing it when it's gone

AI art bug is up my ass big time this morning. If you're still impressed by it my disrespect has reached a fever pitch and it's clear to me you don't understand anything about art and human expression beyond cynically, nihilistically consuming it for its superficial aesthetic pleasure

the fountainhead

Pete Hegseth heading into work to be briefed on the nuclear codes

It feels like it's taboo to say this but fascist, reactionary regimes are not full of smart and competent people because they are not attractive ideologies to smart and competent people. It's no great secret

lmao

Imagine you're being summoned. What GIF represents that?

Still having a lot of fun but I think Severance was a better, more interesting show in the first season, when the point was not unraveling the mysteries, but primarily to hold up a mirror to our warped relationships with the workplace.

we fucked up a perfectly good planet is what we did. look at it. it's got billionaires

Well this blizzard killing our power and potentially frying all our appliances by the prolonged flickering and brownouts has already undone most of the rejuvenation I got out of my weekend mini vacation

we are on the verge of curing maybe the worst cancer of all the cancers but the whole right wing media makes too much money scaring people about "mRNA vaccines" so time to toss that in the trash

So they are definitely going to steal PSLF away from me. The EO from last week says they want to strip eligibility from nonprofits that promote "illegal discrimination" and this week they announced they're investigating my employer for having "discriminatory" scholarships. Fuck everything.
