I watched the episode of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex that ends with the Major one-armed racking and firing a gigantic sniper rifle point blank into a guy's power armor again and again and again.

A few years ago I made it like...20% through Persona 5? Maybe I'll go back to that. But I kinda just want to play the one where the kids keep shooting themselves in the head.

Finally listened to that Charlie Kirk AI song. I prefer the version I had been imagining all this time, which was identical to Kpop Demon Hunters 'Golden.' ("We're going up up up" —> "We're Charlie Kirk Kirk Kirk")

The prehistoric man Pickle turns up his nose at John Fetterman. Ordinarily this wall of meat would make a fine lunch, but something rancid inside it has turned Pickle's cretaceous stomach. He will return to the wilds in search of fitter prey.

Now that a year has passed and no one alive cares about him anymore, it really shows to go ya how cowardly it was for DC Comics to fire my pal @scumbelievable.bsky.social for calling a universally acknowledged bigot a bigot and reacting to his death accordingly

The kind of sweaty conservative defensiveness I think we're all familiar with even today
Within two years proslavery writers had answered Uncle Tom's Cabin with at least fifteen novels whose thesis that slaves were better off than free workers in the North

Antebellum politics is fascinating, the South kept getting policy concessions and whipped themselves up into a paranoid rage anyway, essentially because they couldn't stand being culturally judged for having slaves

How they can square the circle here: In the NEXT Onimusha you should play as Meiko Kaji as a Lady Snowblood-esque Tomoe Gozen and since she's still around and working they can pay her big money to perform in the game and lend her likeness.

I loved how Coyote vs. ACME went about gags where Wile E. wasn't in his usual context. Like obviously, he'll never get the Road Runner. But if he's trying to get someone *else* he actually has a good shot, only there's a 99% chance he'll also hurt himself just as badly.

We really did perfectly thread the needle for things to get this bad, huh? If Trump won 2 consecutive terms, they wouldn't have had the time to regroup and figure out how to break everything. If congresspeople had been killed on Jan 6th, it probably would have had consequences. Instead we're here.

Crumbling Eye of Sauron looking around like "uhh, uhh, hold on, let me just...uhhh" and it's felt like that for 10 years and the best we can hope for is we get to keep going "uhh" for another few decades before the big explosion that wipes out all the orcs lol I mean I hope not but y'know "uhhhhhhh"

Right, so, they did the exact opposite. And not only are they saying outright that when you click "buy" to make a "purchase" in a digital "store" you don't really own jack shit, they're also insisting everybody already understands this.

Laura Loomer locked Milo Yiannopoulos in a dog cage and that's funny to you? And you're laughing? You're experiencing schadenfreude because he's suffering the same immiseration he wished on his enemies? Ok sick just making sure.

No chance—his very lame ambition of creating "the Oscars of video games" was a joke right up until it was completely successful. Agreeably ahistorical gamers talk about "goty" and The Game Awards as if they've always existed. I've said it before: Total Geoff Keighley cultural victory.
