The only way we unfuck our country is through a puritanical anti-corruption drive. We need to rip out a vast substrate of corrupt elites and marginalize an even larger contingent of mere incompetents and cowards.

Ppl need to be terrified of the white-collar criminal laws of the United States again.

Absolutely.

"These people are stealing your tax money, robbing you of services you paid for to enrich themselves. I will stop that."

That's a pretty simple and effective message.

The economy is bad and has been for decades. You don't have to listen to online vibeconomists pretending it's good. They don't matter and most are lying for attention/money. Just do what you can for your friends and community and disregard what financially comfortable internet pundits say about it.

But I'll be also posting a big thread of cool games with under 100 Steam reviews! LET'S GOOOOOO!

Thank Kermit that Muppet Treasure Island let Tim Curry be as wacky as his Muppet co-stars A role like Long John Silver only works if the performer treats it like a meal, and Tim Curry is the kind of guy who treats every role like a meal.

“he’s able to add the relevant amount of villainy and warped gravitas. […] A role like Long John Silver only works if the performer treats it like a meal, and Tim Curry is the kind of guy who treats every role like a meal”

One obvious obstacle to physical authenticity is Silver’s leg: cut “close by the hip” in the text, all the actors to play him are bipedal; therefore, they all had to fold and secure their left legs in what must presumably be a very uncomfortable position, making the role physically challenging (Stevenson [1883] 2012, p. 85). Such an arrangement must also make moving like Stevenson’s Silver very difficult. Fleming accounts for this by using an action double for Beery, most clearly in his murder of Tom, allowing the audience to believe in his physical prowess (Fleming 1934, 55:33–56:27). Newton maneuvers impressively on the crutch but does little to convince the viewer of any physical threat. This fact allows for film adaptations to further soften the Silver character as we will discuss in the next two sections: where Stevenson’s Silver appears to use his disfigurement to disguise his physical abilities, making him dangerous, film adaptations often use it to blunt any real threat. Charlton Heston, for example, is a menacing presence in the 1990 Turner Pictures adaptation, but his age and awkwardness of movement are a clear contrast with Wyeth’s dynamic, nimble Silver. With the possible exception of Tim Curry—who is younger and more agile than his cinematic counterparts—in the playful 1996 film Muppet Treasure Island, the Silver of the screen must rely more on his wits, his charm, and his presence of character, than on any physical threat he poses, in order to manipulate his crew, Jim, or Jim’s friends.

Happy birthday to Tim Curry – proven by ACTUAL SCIENCE to have given the pre-eminent screen portrayal of Long John Silver

Heavy is the head…

Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

Zohran Mamdani: "If you are a Mario Kart fan, government is Yoshi and philanthropy is the Golden Mushroom, that edge we need to beat Bowser on the Rainbow Road. To belabor this metaphor even further, Bowser is corporate greed in this scenario."

How did I miss that there was a collection of new stories in Stephen King’s THE STAND universe and that @chuckwendig.bsky.social wrote one???

Read that again. This Louisiana bill forces homeless people to choose between jail and "treatment"—and if they can't pay for the latter, they will be forced to perform unpaid labor.

The historical precedents are clear: convict leasing, Black Codes, debtor's prison.

Patton Oswalt is going to read the third book in the Talisman trilogy. OTHER WORLDS THAN THESE will be out in October. I'm totally stoked that he agreed to do it. Spoiler alert: There's a character in the book who's a stand-up comedian. His name is...Payton Orville.
Coincidence? I think not.

Massive Attack, Tom Waits - Boots on the Ground YouTube video by Massive Attack

The new Massive Attack x Tom Waits track and video are worth a listen and watch.

We accompanied Erica Baatarbold, the voice behind our protagonist Naraa, as she worked on her acting for The Legend of Khiimori.

Get a glimpse behind the scenes and hear her impressions of our game, as well as her story about how she got the role for Naraa.

Watch the full video on YouTube!

Everything is bad now because kids get their taste in music from algorithms instead of from trying to impress the older girl you know who looks like the Bombchu Bowling Alley Operator

No more US military aid to Israel | Bernie Sanders The time is long overdue for members of Congress to listen to the American people and end US military aid to the extremist Netanyahu government

"Given the horrific and illegal behavior of the Netanyahu government over the last three years, the American people have had enough," writes @sanders.senate.gov.

The reason that there are so many dad games is that some men had careers long enough that they both 1) gained the political capital to pitch and then execute a project with those themes 2) were able to sustain a career long enough that it was viable for them to parent while still work* in games.

are there any chu chu rocket successors?

Morning Kittens

*taps the sign*

An unusual statuette from Egypt's Late Period or Ptolemaic era, depicting an elegant #cat feeding her kittens. In this case, she's not a just a cat - she's Bastet, goddess of fertility, and protector of women and children. I love the kitten trying to give mama a kiss. 🐈‍⬛ 🏺 1/
