"You just call everyone you don't like a nazi."

Maybe it's because you can't stop yourselves from saying nazi shit, my dudes.

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

I was supposed to learn cascading style sheets #comics #kōmeke #comicoop
This is a five panel comic done in just whatever pen was on my desk. In panel one I am laying diagonally across the bed and saying "Moosh the oracle deck said to take time for self-care and then I looked at the self-care part and it asked me if I had good hobbies and I said, 'I don't have TIME for hobbies' and now I don't know who I am." In the second panel Daryl Surat replies, "Drawing isn't your hobby?" I say "No! Drawing is my life's work." In the third panel he continues, "I thought your hobby was developing web site" and I sit up and say "omg!" In the third panel there are some html tags and little stars in the background and I am saying "You're SO right! Web site IS my hobby! I forgot!!" The last panel has a background of rain drops and I am saying "...I forgot because I don't have time for it."

Spooky Season, Night 16. Called another audible and watched Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust (2000) on Blu-ray. This film gets better and I notice additional little details with each new viewing. As I've said elsewhere, for all its sci-fi / horror trappings, it has a strong emotional core.

I must be deeply in love with this game because six hours of grinding just went by in a flash — couldn’t stop building up jobs and unlocking the tree, so now Ramza is a Ninja flanked by Dragoons and a Samurai in the opening bars of Chapter 2

I always admired FFT but now I GET it

the more I read about the promises OpenAI has made, the more disgusted I am. They've promised to deploy 10GW of Broadcom chips *by the end of 2029*, a chip that has yet to tape out, in data centers yet to be planned or funded or the power acquired. We are in a black hole of ethics and good sense.

I finished reading the final volume of Fist of the North Star last night!

I was pretty terrified they were setting it up so that Kenshiro and Rin were going to be a romantic couple at the end. 🤮 Fortunately that did not happen, but they had me worried!

it’s crazy to think that TRON is still named after Bruce Boxleitner’s character in the first movie, who has not appeared since, rather than Jeff Bridges’ character, who has been in all three. The franchise ought to be called KEVIN

I mean I got Kmart Xabungle as a kid but I also got Pentabot, the Acrobunch toy, ALMOST J9, so I mean, the walls were porous in the '80s. we got toys for all kinds of robot anime we didn't get the anime for until 35 years later or whatever.

Infinite backlog aside, I see too many videogames being released next week that I want to play such that I'll be paralyzed with indecision & play none even if I bought them. There's Ninja Gaiden 4, Once Upon A Katamari, and Double Dragon Revive (I still never played the Marvel Cosmic Invasion demo).

if you listen to an audiobook it's fine to say you read the book and anyone who disagrees is just being obnoxious

It took me about 216 hours but I finally finished Baldur's Gate 3. Although I kind of want to restart it and do a different character with different choices playing on the Tactician difficulty, I'll probably go through Clair Obscur now instead since I only played to just past the first boss of that.

...Huh. So I kinda noticed it this morning when watching an episode of My-Dress Up Darling, and assumed it was just a carryover from that show predating this season, but I'm watching ep of of Plus-Sized Misadventures and it looks like CR has fully returned to using Aegisubs

Trader Joe's Exec1: we'll sell lots of really good stuff at good prices

Exec2: that doesn't sound at all evil. We're a big company, we're supposed to be evil

Founder1: we are going to have the most inadequate, cramped, badly designed parking lots in the fucking world

Founder2: ok that works
