I think people should listen to what the administration trying to bring back spectacle lynchings, race riots, and middle passage-esque deportation voyages are trying to tell you about themselves. bsky.app/profile/bren...

actually pretty fucked up of the galactic racer devs to put in a button prompt to pet the tooka cats, but pressing it just makes your character say "nah, i just wanna race." and you DON'T pet the cat. otherwise having a great time, hell of a game. the burnout legacy is strong!

A large yellow LEGO store bag sits on the dining room table, along with three sets: Wallace & Gromit, Project Hail Mary, and an Astro-Bot gift with purchase. More LEGO is visible in the background, displayed mostly tastefully (in my opinion).

The death penalty is a moral abomination. State-sanctioned barbarism pushed by incompetent morons and sanctioned by the Supreme Court. Absolute ghoul shit. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

The lone woman on Tennessee's death row was still alive after she was administered two lethal injections, her lawyer said in a motion seeking to halt her execution Wednesday night, a stunning development after the Supreme Court had stepped in to allow the state to put her to death.
At 8:26 p.m. local time, witnesses said
"executioners had injected both syringes of lethal injection chemicals and Pike is still alive and snoring," her lawyers said in a federal court filing.
They said Pike "has not lost consciousness and still has a heartbeat," and that curtains to the death chamber "have gone down twice."

No interest in relitigating the strengths and weaknesses of the sequels but the lamest take as proven by time is “but the good guys won so why are things bad now?”

genuinely i'm very glad that the blu-ray release of mando & grogu have not cropped out all the imax resolution changes. that shit still drives me crazy in the dune blu-rays (and i feel like the batman may have done the same?) because the effect was SO important to shot composition in key moments

the way they're marketing digger tells me that it can only be either: a. a complete flop, with audiences leaving the cinema en masse before the 40 minute mark, or b. an artful and densely layered semi-prophetic vision, to be dissected in semester-long college courses for years to come.

I used to frame this as: If we could pass a constitutional amendment guaranteeing trans people access to comprehensive gender-affirming healthcare, the bathroom of their choice, etc., in exchange for us giving up sports, do you think the people who don't want trans people in sports would go for it?

"The Transformers do not endorse the views of the President" okay, great, yeah, it's very normal that you had to say that. This is an ordinary world where things make sense. It's normal that I'd wake up to an official statement from cartoon robots denouncing the man who has the nuclear codes.

No matter how much you throw trans people under the bus, you are still going to get attacked. All you've done is betray a vulnerable minority, anger your base, and made the issue front and center.
