We should be hearing about a Red Bull Kumite sometime soon shouldn't we?

The scene never recovered from Covid and it did not adapt to the impact that rollback netcode would have on the perception of competition.

The Fighting Game Tournament scene was at its peak somewhere between 2016 - 2019.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Damn. This is probably how I sound to a majority of anime fans now 😭

Where's the degrees? Why is there only two of them outside?

Bovino was forced out of Minnesota because the American people stood firm. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets in below-freezing temps to peacefully defend their neighbors & freedoms.

We’ll keep fighting. No more deaths at the hands of rogue DHS agents.

Let’s help Gene yall

This is some very calm before the storm type weather.

We are cooked on Sunday.

You right you right 😅

I don't like going outside. It makes me broke 😭

I miss you video games.

Good weekend to rewatch Andor yeah?

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.

Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.
