NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Truly a perfect news alert

this album is so sick it makes me want to learn trombone

slay the spire 2 is a very wiggly game

and if you don't know this video, please view and enjoy what is genuinely one of my all time favorite pieces of art www.youtube.com/watch?v=foED...

I've started just leaving this open in a background window and occasionally jumpscaring myself with it. or whatever the opposite of a jumpscare is, depending

a picture of chibi drawn art of Final Fantasy V's characters Bartz, Galuf, Lenna, and Faris, with lowercase crudely positioned text placed over them: "FFV too hard?" "too tired to find blue spells?" "try 3 to 4 monks" "3 to 4 monks an easy battle strategy" "don't buy a single weapon ever, or any ethers" "you will certainly not regret having 3 to 4 monks"

had to make a #FFV meme based on @purrcelaindoll.bsky.social 's last playthrough party

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

To sing it again, as if it might turn out this time. What an incredible experience

In olden days this was limited to fucking around with your vim/emacs config, now you can spend the same amount of time to burn untold energy to achieve a cool new color scheme

2026 Americana: just saw a Dave and Busters that has been converted into a megachurch

I like how this describes both Daylight Savings Time and also everything about America.

the thing about the "WOW COOL ROBOT!/ WAR IS BAD" gundam memes is that they don't prepare you for just how cool the robot is or just how bad the war is Woaw this blowed up. So did half of the earth's population in UC 0079.

This repeats yet another pattern from the Iraq War. When the Iraqis did not behave as the Americans wanted — without the deference and gratitude that a foreign military occupier felt it was due — they became targets.

regardless of if they're misogynists or genuinely nice guys, a lot of men assume sexism looks like catcalling and sexual advances. distinct actions that people either do or don't do

to any men seeing this post, read this paragraph. live in it for a while. imagine finding this experience everywhere.

Like everything else with Trump, the short-term impact will be significantly less than the most catastrophic possibility predicted, which will lead to everybody ignoring all of the long-term effects.

The South ending Reconstruction and plunging their populations into a backward looking culture and economy until it was forced to modernize by the Civil Rights movement is imo a very clean parallel.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

if only someone, perhaps even several people, with memories longer than goldfish, had seen this coming and been yelling about it for a few years now

tumblr post by user sapphling from August of 2023 reading: "sitting anti-kink posters down in front of a wrestling match and explaining kayfabe to them with the patience of a preschool teacher" "You see that one? He's called the "heel." He looks mean and says a lot of scary things, but it's not real and he's actually very nice. When he says "I'm going to break you in half" you don't have to be scared because it's pretend. These two talked about this beforehand, and now they're playing pretend together. Can you think of any other situations that might be like this? Then they have screenshotted tags left on their post by another user reading: "crying screaming and throwing up when you tell me the undertaker didn't REALLY die and come back to life all those times" sapphling follows that with "no that part was real"

WaPo push alert: “A Polarized Nation Yesterday, 8:02 PM U.S. was the only country in a worldwide survey to say most fellow citizens are bad people”

Are we polarized? Or are we realistic?

i just feel like people should be more embaressed about falling for the 'we told the computer to type out "i'm alive" and it did. oh my god!'

this type of software is as old as computers

saw a post about a new Marathon game, looked it up on wikipedia to see if it's a remake or what

"The new Marathon is a multiplayer extraction shooter with a focus on player versus player (PvP) gameplay"

well, that's forty bucks saved

I closed a credit card account recently, lowering my credit score. I also opened a different credit card account, lowering my credit score. This system rules

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉
