Greetings, and welcome to the me: I'm a cheeky 31 year-old poly autistic demi-boy (he/they). I make games with @ppu512.bsky.social and I enjoy annoying people by reading too much into everything. Whatever “fun times” may bring, let it be brought!

BoC probably doesn’t even need to make a new album now when this shows all by itself just how far they’ve come. ❤️

Don't make me tap the Robert Pattinson quote, Leto.

“I always say about people who do method acting, you only ever see people do the method when they’re playing an assholes,” Pattinson said in an interiew with Variety in November. “You never see someone being lovely to everyone while they’re really deep in character.”

I tend to wait for on-the-ground video posts from the people themselves before determining whether the Israeli govt has been true to their word in the press reports.

Thankfully we’ve had videos of Palestinians praying and returning to their homes, so I await the tearful reunion videos on my feed.

Let us modestly assume 1 million people show up for protests. How much would you have to pay people to travel to a protest on their own dime and spend a whole day there? I’m guessing at least $100. So that’s already a $100M price tag. Show us the receipts Sean

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018.

bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.

Max Colbert @mc00.bsky.social · 1d

Really important NYT investigation finds that the ADF has been working with Reform, 'courting the party since at least 2024' and that the British arm 'orchestrated Mr Farage’s appearance in Congress, reaching out to ask if he would like to give evidence on censorship'

The funniest part about this comment is Ngo claiming to be personally familiar with the concept of whitewashing.

This is why the costumes are honestly brilliant. Ngo, who has never said a truthful thing in his entire life (remember the concrete milkshake?) now has to convince people inflatable Sesame Street and animal costumes are violent terrorists.

Sometimes you just need an image too silly to demonize.

People will try to excuse/defend the chuds by saying they've just watched too much porn but I'm a dyke who watches porn all the time and don't have this problem. Chuds do this because forcing every woman into their ideal sex doll aesthetic is the power fantasy.

This isn't about porn or gooner brain or whatever, it's not even about looks, this is about power. They don't want to see beautiful women, they want all women in media to be nothing but objects for the pleasure of (white) men.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

It's really funny that The Art of War is treated as this like alpha male book when it's clearly meant to be read by ancient Chinese failsons because it's all "please don't forget you have to feed your troops" and "if someone asks if you're going to attack them consider lying about it"

Wow I can't believe making a sequel to a series known for underperforming on release, picking an actor known for leading a cult and abuse allegations and starring in bombs, and then using AI to promote it, didn't result in a hit.

‘TRON: ARES’ has earned $14.3M in its opening day at the domestic box office.

For comparison, ‘MORBIUS’ opened to $17.3M.
