Mourning the voice of Optimus Prime may sound inherently silly... but Peter Cullen understood how important it was to embody a positive heroic role model for kids...

Instead of watching anything HP related, watch She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. What’s better than enemies to lovers? LGBT+ enemies to lovers!

When a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised. My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.

New York City residents are celebrating the reopening of public pools — including Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who jumped into the water while wearing a suit at an East Harlem pool on Saturday. Outdoor public pools will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day through Sept. 13.

ANNNNNNNND Burgle Supply Company (Good Boy) is now out. Any RTs/Shares/helping to spread the word is appreciated. It's the silliest game made by a studio with a very silly catalog of things.

Steam page for Burgle Supply Company, which is probably the best game about robbing homes while mutant dogs chase you around ever made but I cant verify that.

It's obviously important for elected officials to be accountable to voters. However, if I had a job where it took a bunch of strangers calling my office and telling me how to do things for me to make good choices, it would be fair to say I was bad at that job.

trumpco wants you to freak out and live in fear. That's the GOAL. They are bullies and at their core, and bullies are weak. Stand up to them. Don't fall for the chaos. Feel your initial feelings and then get loud. Don't let the bullies win. Do not assume defeat. That is what they want of you.

I've heard a number of people say, "I live in a safe blue district/state--there's no point in calling my reps since they're already on the right side." Yes, there is: You can call and insist that they be among the loudest voices on the issues you care about, since they can afford to be.

If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game. The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.
