We fucking tried this already and it sucked!

I'm usually a stickler for building codes, but in this case I'll make an exception based on how this sort of thing has worked out in the past.

The end of Inglorious Basterds where all the nazis are trapped in the burning theater. A room full of people panics as flames shoot out of the area where a screen should be. the walls are draped with highly flammable nazi flags and bunting.

I love the smell of a ratio in the morning!

A post from Senator Elissa Slotkin talking up the shared bond among all americans after 9/11. She's completely disregarding the sharp increase in islamophobia, racism, and bigotry that ran rampant. She's a senator from MI, which was HUGELY impacted by that racism and she should know better. Her Ratio is 1.1k replies, 1.2k reskeets, and 111 likes.

This specifically is how you should feel about Harry Potter at this point. You're part of a direct line to funding the genocide of trans people. You should expect to be judged accordingly. Source: variety.com/2026/tv/feat...

There is a big “Harry Potter” series coming out on HBO soon and there are many people opposed to it because of J.K. Rowling’s transphobia.
She is funding trans genocide. J.K. Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support “Harry Potter,” you’re supporting trans genocide. The money that goes into you enjoying these products, a portion of that money goes to J.K. Rowling and that money goes into her funding anti-trans legislation all over the world. In the same way that if you are against Elon Musk, you boycott or don’t buy Tesla; and if you’re against global warming/climate change, you try not to buy as much gas, you try to mitigate your use of these products. It’s simple math. So, your enjoyment of these shows, and continued support of these shows, is supporting my eradication.

As a luthier, would anyone be interested if I started offering, as a standard service, a mod for these guitars where I replace the pickguard with a mirror, and rig it so it swings away to reveal a stash box and razor blade storage?

The new line of colors for Gibson Epiphone guitars. They are all neon blue, pink and yellow and have a very 1980s "I love cocaine" vibe.

6 years since I took this Blade Runner inspired picture in front of creepy orange skies from wild fires.

Serious question: How can you say you support solidarity while throwing trans workers under the bus? What other criteria do you have conditioning your support for worker's rights?

Very rarely these show up today, usually they've been in storage because someone's parents or grandparents got fleeced by NEC and the system sat shamefully in a storage unit. We have two examples at the Digital Game Museum.

A modern color photo of an Atari NEC pong cocktail table. It has a woodgrain top, two white dials, a yellow bezel around a CRT showing pong being played. The sides are padded faux leather and there's an air vent at the bottom of the unit.

In the 1970s, when the Arcade craze was taking off, there was a short-lived company called NEC (National Entertainment Company) contracted with Atari to build Pong cocktail cabinets that they sold to private individuals as a way to generate passive income.

This isn't the first time this exact scam has been pulled in Silicon Valley!

Anyone surprised that Tetris is anti fascist might want to take a look at the quality of their world history education. Specifically the part about what the Soviets thought of fascism.

We have white tailed kites in California that use that same behavior when hunting. It's crazy to see.

Dali did it better in his cookbook.

A selection of four photos from Dali's "Les Diners De Gala" surrealist cookbook. They feature, elephants carrying tureens of cooked food, a pie with a wispy moustache (gross), a carnival of what look like inquisitors surrounding an eggplant or other crudité, and a selection of plucked birds, some with canine faces and one in cross section revealing that it is stuffed with writhing masses of human forms, cavorting in the ecstasy of dining.

You haven't seen the Santa Clara County Fair posters, have you?

A poster for the Santa Clara County Fair with the theme "Fired up and HARE TO STAY!" featuring a slop rabbit dressed like a cowboy, a slop iguana with a bandana showing off a picture of some flowers while lusting after what might be corn dogs and fries with katsup, a slop pig with a giant bucket of popcorn and raybans, and a bunch of slop people.

There's an AI emoji generator out there that is churning out exactly the level of slop you'd expect. Here's an example of their "soccer ball"

They should replace the Nicole Kidman intro with one of Warren Beatty vs. Warren Beatty as Dick Tracy bitching about the state of cinema.

A screencap of the weird Dick Tracy Special: Tracy Zooms In from TCM featuring a picture of a monitor with warren beatty, warren beatty as dick tracy, ben mankewicz, and Leonard maltin taking up each quadrant of a shared zoom. yes, it's as weird as it sounds.
