While Pitfall is probably the correct answer, god damn if I didn’t play the shit out of Oink! and Skate Boardin’

And while not technically Atari, I’ll die on the hill of Mouse Trap > Pac-Man

All of the Israelis held by Hamas are called “hostages,” including the IDF soliders.

All the Palestinians released, though, are “prisoners,” including the many victims of Israel’s widespread arbitrary detention - meaning they are legally innocent, detained without charge or conviction.

Disgusting.

Y’all. I cannot WAIT for this man to show up on Dynamite with this belt as Okada looks at him with utter disgust. Let’s get this feud POPPIN.

The most impressive part of AEW’s 2025 is that Tony Khan has been working endlessly to make intergender wrestling mainstream. And I don’t think yall understand how legitimately huge that is.

Frog and Toad sat close by the fire. They were scared. The teacups shook in their hands. They were having the shivers. It was a good, warm feeling.

I know reviews don’t = popularity, but this weird “nobody liked it when it came out” is the epitome of rewriting general history based on what happened in my own subgroup of friends.

…which is basically all of the internet now.

Ahhhh plus the Remarkable Renee Paquette debut!

That’s an unforgivable omission by me. Whoops!

Andrew A 🍉 @arvidian.ca · 1d

I was in the building so I’m biased, but to me this is one of the most significant/important Dynamites of the first 6 years as it includes:
OC winning
Athena/Jody (yeah on Dark but still)
Hanger’s “I’m still here” promo

Plus the father of the year was there so it’s automatically important.

There are also a significant number of people from my high school and CEGEP years who are this but with Propagandhi.

seems like a non-insignificant percentage of rage against the machine's fanbase are young republican men driving SUVs bopping their head to anti-oil, pro-immigrant songs thinking the lyrics are about how they wish their suburban parents would get off their back

Tom Morello tweets: "Fascinating that all those “don’t tread on me” posers and their AR-15’s are nowhere to be seen and government tyranny is instead being opposed by a guy in an inflatable frog suit."

Someone named Manny replies: "@grok
why do some people say Tom Morello and band mates are RAGE FOR THE MACHINE and not against ?"
