I would find an automatic facepalm function useful, if they’re thinking of going “one in, one out” here

I keep seeing "Ketamine Queen" in headlines.
I'm not the only one reading that in Billy Ocean's voice, am I?

Keep going. Save yourself.
Was it “bring your kid to work day”, John? Look at how young you were @jkooza.bsky.social !
25 years ago today, skipped work and went to Shibuya to drag @jkooza.bsky.social away from working on Rez so we could excitedly rip open our new Game Boy Advance systems. To date still one of the most exciting launches I’ve experienced — so many games, so much potential 💜

Someone reported that Baskin Robbins’ new Mario Galaxy ice cream turns your poo blue and the comments are now flooded with ppl talking excitedly about going to Baskin Robbins this weekend www.threads.com/@karu_pisu.m...
Wow
#Darius mini getting closer to completed.
This looks incredible. I was crap at Darius, but would sink coins into it in the arcade just to gawp at the widescreen beauty of the thing. That fathomless blue. So good.
Yeah, I was watching those same highlights on YT. It’s pretty crazy if it means what we think it means.
It really doesn’t.
Yeah. I mean, benefit of the doubt and all that but this should definitely be looked into #ATPTour
One year ago, we launched The Game Business. It’s been just the most exciting, enjoyable and exhausting year.

An adult man named Esoteric Jeff claiming The Onion would be out of business by 2025.
A series of other guys with names like Esoteric Jeff giving The Onion 12 months to live.
The Onion being named one of the most innovative companies of 2026.
Eat shit, lol, and long live The Onion.
Did French player Terence Atmane make a white power sign after beating black Canadian player Felix Auger-Aliassime? Because this looks really kinda iffy to me. #miamiopen
This is real, isn’t it. Good god.
i bet this shit sounds magical if you're fucking stupid
I love pieces like this - written with real curiosity and love and (pointedly, obviously, thankfully) not written with any algorithm jn mind but instead… humans. That makes stuff like this an act of resistance - and well done @pcgamer.com for commissioning it.
These are really nice up-close. Super subtle metallic sheen on the paper that suits the subject matter perfectly.
First impressions after a few runs: Very cool. Impressively smooth on launch day too.
I like that it's more hostile than Arc, because it's backed up by Bungie's unmatched FPS gameplay to support that style of play.
The Sega Dreamcast: Collected Works book is finally back in stock at @readonlymemory.com

Labour's swing toward racism is perhaps the biggest unforced error in British political history; burnt their base to ashes and won them not a single vote on the right.
This is murder. ICE routinely deposits released detainees far from their home just to be cruel. It’s standard practice. To do this to a blind man on a wet cold winter day in Buffalo is to know you are potentially sending him to his death.
This is just absurdly good, one of the coolest things we've ever made
I've reported 2-3 stories in my career that have sucked the spirit out of my body and this was one of them. But! Seeing the response of the fgc to help their brother genuinely put it right back. Im humbled to have been trusted with this. Help your neighbors friends those in need are all around you.
Elon Musk: Life cannot just be about one sad thing after another. There must also be things that make us super excited and inspired about the future. This is one of things. Bigtime.

"Life cannot just be about one sad thing after another," says the man responsible—directly or indirectly—for like 90% of the sad things that happened in the past year.
Great vibe. Love that. Definitely takes me back to the 80s and 90s era where the game manual felt like an exciting artifact from the worlds within.
