honestly whenever I see the far right do better in an election in Latin America than expected, I can say “the CIA probably ratfucked this” and be right more than 70% of the time

reminder that the republican party *still* governs by an informal rule named after this fucko in case there was any doubt why things are the way they are in the US, politically speaking
The Hastert Rule, also known as the "majority of the majority" rule, is an informal governing principle used in the United States by Republican Speakers of the House of Representatives since the mid-1990s to maintain their speakerships and limit the power of the minority party to bring bills up for a vote on the floor of the House. Under the doctrine, the speaker will not allow a floor vote on a bill unless a majority of the majority party supports the bill.

peanuts is a cool comic cause the babies are always unsupervised in a dirt field saying stuff like "suffering is the cantaloupe in the fruit salad of life" and then the dog does a skateboard trick

I'm all for restorative justice but forgive me if after sleeping on I don't exactly think Geller has really learned to respect consent when he knows damn well he never would have gotten where he did if he was honest and forthcoming about the skeletons in his closet, so he actively avoided it

everyone remembers how Meowth from Team Rocket taught himself to talk, but what gets forgotten is he also LEARNED to walk bipedally, because Meowths used to not. which makes it kinda bullshit how they decided "oh yeah actually that's something every random Meowth just does now, as standard"
Meowth sitting on all fours like a normal cat trying to impress a lady Meowth that's wearing a pink bowMeowth walking on two legs holding some flowers, hoping to impress the same (still quadripedal) lady Meowth in a pink bowMeowth's gen 1 sprite where it is sitting like a normal cat, rubbing its face with its front pawMeowth's gen 8 model where it is standing, an affront to poke-god and poke-nature. Stolen bipedal valor.

happy Stanislav Petrov day. On this day in 1983, the world did NOT end, because one dude went all in on "nothing ever happens" a stark reminder that any automated system needs an actual human involved who can overrule it and decide "nah, that's probably bullshit" at literally any point
On 26 September 1983, during the Cold War, the Soviet nuclear early warning system Oko reported the launch of one intercontinental ballistic missile with four more missiles behind it, from the United States. These missile attack warnings were suspected to be false alarms by Stanislav Petrov (1939-2017), an engineer of the Soviet Air Defence Forces on duty at the command center of the early warning system. He decided to wait for corroborating evidence - of which none arrived - rather than immediately relaying the warning up the chain of command. This decision is seen as having prevented a retaliatory nuclear strike against the United States and its NATO allies, which would likely have resulted in a full-scale nuclear war. Investigation of the satellite warning system later determined ttht the system had indeed malfunctioned.

halo's funny to me because it was "good" for 10yrs and has been a mess for the last 15 but xbox still thinks it can be the biggest thing in the world somehow it'd be like if mario had star fox's track record and nintendo was still wheeling him out going "that's him, that's mr. nintendo right there"

"Feel the wind in your hair..." Okay, there's a big anniversary today: the 40th since the release of Sega's sublime arcade racer OUTRUN! Sometime between today and the 25th in 1986, arcade goers were being taken on a Sega multi-route race for the first time. Share the OutRun love, peeps <3
From Sega Retro, a scan of an arcade flier with OutRun screenshot blown up and a photo of the arcade cable below it.

No one is *forcing* anyone to do a shitload of recomps. Recomps are great, but the whole point of them isn't to just have an assembly line to pump out poor quality ones just to have them; it's a way to preserve older games, understand them better, and make them more accessible to new audiences.

very funny line coming from a character whose whole deal is warping people and lives on a planet that was, until like 4 hours ago, solely populated by dinosaurs
Fox from Star Fox is standing in front of a fortress on the rain. Below him is text from a different character that reads "Sorry, I forgot to tell you. I cannot warp dinosaurs!"

it's kinda funny how anytime Bayonetta shows up in something that isn't her own games or Smash, they gotta give her the goofy beehive hairdo from Bayo 1 because Nintendo owns the games the other designs come from sorta like how you can't put ruby slippers in an Oz adaptation cuz MGM owns them

a modest proposal: if trans kids aren’t allowed to go thru the puberty they want because they’re “too young to know their gender,” then cis kids shouldn’t be allowed to either, for the same reason. puberty blockers for everyone until age 18, when you’re old enough to decide if you’re cis or not.

it's funny how nintendo has this thing where its space characters need to be bounty hunters or mercenaries or whatever, to i guess give them a bit more edge and the only one that's ever really characterized as a soldier of fortune only in it for the money is ... Fox, arguably the least "gritty" one

If someone is interested in the new Metroid but never played them before, I think they should start with Super Metroid and then play whatever But I also just think that about most video games Like if you wanna play GTA6 but you haven’t played Super Metroid, you should start with Super Metroid

freely admitting i'm wildly out of my depth on how any of this works, but is "instead of leaving, the 3 of them just kick england out of the UK" an option? because all 3 deciding they're done with England's bullshit at the same time is funny, but that'd be funnier

somehow, trans people simultaneously matter enough in an electoral sense that we can be blamed — even preemptively! — for a loss, but not enough that we “deserve to be catered to” when “so much is at stake.”
