And all the narrative stuff they were doing on the broadcast felt like salt in the wound. "Twenty years after this iconic moment, Steve Gleason and Drew Brees are here tonight, the Saints are once again ready to- oh look, there goes Robinson again. Not sure which Robinson. Doesn't seem to matter"

Assuming you're talking about Bruno Mars at the Dome, yeah, that was gnarly. We had to pay the babysitter for an extra hour 😭

Okay, so if I'm reading this correctly: "I personally wish to send you to the camps" is harassment, but "enjoy the camps; it's your fault if you get sent to them" is a good-faith, low-toxicity exchange of viewpoints in the Marketplace Of Ideas. Great stuff @aaron.bsky.team master of nuance

Fable III devs maximized immersion by getting rid of menus- why pause the game to swap between the dozens of swords and hammers and breastplates you're carrying around when you could simply teleport to your hideout and grab equipment off a rack while your butler (John Cleese) provides commentary?

I can't quite put my finger on why, but I love Elon Musk thinking that Gordon Freeman - who is essentially an empty vessel for the player's own thoughts & reactions - is "an awesome character." Like yeah he has glasses and a scowl?

It is absolutely fitting that Trump briefly disturbed the excellent energy in NYC to watch the Knicks lose for the first/only time in six weeks, and then retreated to stage a fistfight on his lawn where he's paying the winner in electricity.

Personal favorite of mine:
Tweet from Alan Ferrier:

"Who would have believed that the perfect Wikipedia photo caption could have been improved upon?"
(two screenshots of a photo on Wikipedia showing its caption pre- and post-edit. The photo depicts a man dressed in full Scottish bagpiper regalia playing the bagpipes next to a penguin in a barren Antarctic snowscape. The "pre" version reads:

"Piper Kerr, a member of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904."

The edited version reads:

"Piper Kerr (right), a member of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, plays the bagpipes for an indifferent penguin, March 1904.")

Oh god yes
Screengrab of a beautiful, messy Geocities website. It's full of skeletons and guitars. The welcome page reads, "Dear Internet Person,
please enjoy at your own risk . . . I call myself the Black Widow simply because
I hope to lure you deeply into my web site and capture you with my bytes!" There's a gif of a skeleton doing toe touches. There's a link to "download my personal files" that leads to a page that just says "...NOT!" and then chastises you for trying to download personal files. The page is, in its own words, "best viewed at 800x600 pixels. With the 'times new roman' font" and "dedicated to Spock 2230-2015"

Screenshot of a classic tweet from Thomas Violence (@thomas_violence):

"The year is 3403 AD, crime is legal and cop's are illegal, only one man is willing to break the law to make the law legal again: Crimecop"

"1979" has been half-assedly pasted on top of "3403"

A promotional still for the Netflix rom-com series "Nobody Wants This." The photo has been heavily cropped and zoomed so it is just the title of the show in stylish white lettering over a background that has been rendered indistinct by the aforementioned crop/zoom. Because this podcast is bad and nobody seems to want it. Honestly it's a C+ joke at best; I just wanted to be a part of the ratio.

A particularly egregious example of the "Yes, I will perform the promoted behavior" / "No, I am an absolute rube, my pathetic life is just one unforced error after another, I cannot be trusted around microwaves"-style popup from Groupme.
A popup from the Groupme app trying to get me to opt-in to use some dipshit AI summary "feature." There's a fake screenshot of a summary of a chat, which I am not going to transcribe because it's not worth anyone's time. Below that is the ad copy:

"Less scrolling. More signal. Recap finds what matters. Recap helps you stay in the loop without reading everything."

"More signal" go fuck yourself. "It's sooooo hard to read eight whole text messages" go fuck yourself again. And then the options to tap through this popup are "Learn more" (in a large, inviting blue bubble) and below, in a small, shameful lowercase, "i like reading hundreds of messages"

You know what? I DO like reading hundreds of messages. It's called "communicating" and it's one of the great beauties of the human experience that the tech industry is trying to take away from you.

Personally, I think problem is that there is no possible justification for this war, it is extremely illegal, and we have already murdered dozens of children. But if you wanted to see a slide deck before signing off on us bombing a school, well I guess that technically counts as having principles
001
yeahyourob.bsky.social @yeahyourob.bsky.social · 28/02/2026
Couldn't agree more, sir. The problem with this illegal war is that we didn't get to see enough racist propaganda before we started bombing school children

Terra spent her formative years as a mindless symbol of the power of an authoritarian state, so she has residual knowledge of this stuff in a Jason Bourne sort of way, but she will never utter any of these words, even to smite her most hated enemies

"We need to shrink ourselves and enter the queen's body and murder her fat cells until she wakes up so she can give us a pillow that lets us enter the mind of a tree that has dementia" is a deranged plot point, I love this game despite all its flaws (hideous translation, crushing encounter rate)
