Oh, and this was a big one on the old site: All the ways that Popeye changed video games (mostly but not limited to Mario stuff). He may have (indirectly) inspired Mario's whole look, actually.

I don’t think an anime opening has ever made me laugh so hard.

I like @gttupod.bsky.social. I think they are good people who make a good podcast. But today, October 10, they forced me to endure A CHRISTMAS AD, beating my previous early holiday commercial exposure by several weeks. I will never recover.

Not like I as an American have the standing to point to another country’s conservatives and laugh, but

Finally, @thegaygamer.bsky.social. I was beginning to think you thought I smelled.

Just made this, seemed seasonally appropriate. It's for a larger project that I'm really excited to get done.

Indifferent. I expect the music more there, I guess.

wrote about BOOTS, a show that i kinda liked—and which makes a much more coherent case about masculinity than pete hegseth did last week slate.com/culture/2025...

Pete Hegseth Would Hate Netflix’s New Show. That’s Why I Loved It.

The newly minted “secretary of war” wants to take the military back to 1990. Boots has a different vision of what that looked like.

Unsure if I’m more proud of Regina Hall for playing Brenda in Scary Movie and then going on to bigger things or of Regina King for playing Brenda on 227 and then going on to bigger things

I have never added music to an Instagram photo because I respect the righteous sovereignty of those who follow me. Are you brave enough to stand with me?

I guess. I forget how small Chibi Robo actually is. But in the larger video it seems like the objects are being moved by something invisible.

I think I know which of the two Simpsons wikis this is.

Drew Mackie @drewgmackie.bsky.social · 3d

It is weird to me that this is a scene from The Simpsons

Actually wait maybe not. The blurry, out of focus thing under the couch is too big to be a Pikmin / too big to be what’s moving stuff.

I am team Pikmin

I get hipster cred for ordering this before lots of other people were aware of his work, but I’m super stoked to support @hamishsteele.bsky.social’s latest.
