I couldn't help myself

I will pay people to learn the difference between a watsonian vs doylist critique. You'll be like "what was [character's] thinking here" and someone replies "umm well the character isn't real so he doesn't think at all 😏"

Ok that's a different thing. We're discussing in-universe logic. You idiot.

virginians, if you planned to vote in today’s election & have not already: don’t forget we have same day, in person registration AND if you’re 17 but will turn 18 before nov 3, you can register and vote today.

When I say gamers treat you not buying the entertainment products they like with the exact same degree of pain like you chopped off one of their fingers, this is what I mean.

Not to mention that like... why do they need that space? It's not as if we're preventing them from getting the necessities of life, like they are with us.

I keep saying, time and again, right-wingers don't just want to kill us, they desperately want us to like them while they do it.

Fuck you
they were stupid
so unnecessary
and so annoying

the elite aren’t powerful politicians or billionaires. common misconception. the elite is anyone i think is cooler than me, funnier than me, more artistic than me, or generally anyone i resent for daring to be happier than i am despite my immense wealth and political clout

Personally I’d really love to see the Onion turn Infowars into an investigative journalism outlet to counter all the legacy news media that has been captured by conservatives or other bigots (I.e. the Atlantic, WashPo, NYT, CBS, CNN)

It will be extremely interesting to see what institutions like Fenway Health and NYU Langone do now. The ostensible reason for their ending of youth gender care is now gone - will they resume care for all the trans kids they abandoned?

You have got to be kidding me, man. What bizarro definition of "progressive" are you working from?

im sure this is entirely unrelated to the uptick in posts this past week blaming the left for kamala losing

Listen, I'll freely admit, I don't know or care enough about sports to understand the puns/references being made in these names without using Google, but now that I HAVE looked them up, they're clearly having fun here. "SKOLGRIN" for goodness sakes, yes, well done, more of that energy please.

In some senses this is true, but we're not just talking individuals. These are hedge funds and pension managers behaving like gambling addicts and it's giving off the same sense of the market as 2007.

this is the most dogshit law I've ever seen. either it's dangerous and deserving of a universal ban or it's safe enough that adults can be allowed to choose to take it

Paramount remakes app to capitalize on popularity of short videos In the battle for viewers, Paramount Skydance is targeting the smallest of screens - mobile phones. A version of the Paramount+ app, ‌now available to Apple iPhone users, highlights short videos that...

Oh wow they are FUCKED fucked

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”

Prohibitions don't work in a world where capitalism crushes us so hard we look for ways to numb the pain.

But even if they did, treating adults born after an arbitrary year as the ones deserving of punishment for existing in the same fucking world as the rest of us is beyond fucking unhinged.

I mean look, the "real" SNK died ages ago. Buying this thing ain't gonna bring them back, and I highly doubt spending money on this thing is gonna keep the current version of SNK alive before their shitty owners close the doors anyway because it wasn't giving them right amount of reputation-washing.

Panel from What If...? #17 (1990) Sergei Kravinoff aka Kraven The Hunter, stands naked in a room full of spiders that swarm around him or hang from the ceiling. The spiders cover his shame. He looks upset. Kraven: Why am I DOING this?

Great piece that reiterates something everyone who is not a weird bay area freak or sucked into the AI hype cycle understands implicitly. There's no magic left, these people have barren imaginations.

Concept art/renders(?) of the generic Seekers from "Transformers: Devastation". They're all "conehead" types modeled after Ramjet (well, it's a cartoon-Starscream-style body with Ramjet's conehead and jet-wings, rather than the differently-proportioned/detailed cartoon conehead body) in three different color schemes: one in lavender and purple, one in red and burgundy, and one in dark gray and black.

The two types of "Ground Trooper", Decepticon cars modeled after the Battlechargers. Common type in shades of blue, the Sergeant type in shades of gold.

The Heavy Weapon Ground Soldier, a black-and-red version of Blitzwing without the jet mode (and associated kibble). In the game, this sucker is bigger than even Grimlock and he carries a HUGE hammer.

whoof. Watched a TF: Devastation playthrough so's to write up the generic Seekers' wiki entry. Yeah, definitely not a game for me. Also kind of impressively small mook cast.

Won't lie, I'd like to see toys of the purple & red ones to go with the black one we got already. And the other mooks.

Oh. My. God.
The idiot did it.

Everyone's been waiting to see if prosecutors appealed Somali's 6 month slap on the wrist.

But before they could, Somali appealed.

The problem? Appeals take up to a year, and he has to stay in jail until it's done. Bro probably doubled his sentence even if he wins.

Today's review: Hasbro Transformers Retro G1 Deluxe Wheelie www.16bit.com/fotd/260421-...

He's probably in stock at a Walmart near you. I have most of the Wheelies sold in the USA, and I find them all good for different reasons. He's the best "toy colors" option.

yes I know that's a video game but it ain't GOTTA be
