Only in 2025 would a Bubsy revival be good while literally everything else is on fire. This is the chaos we live in.

Pretty sure I say this every Columbus Day, but getting hauled back to Spain for excessive brutality in 1500, just as the Inquisition was really getting fired up, is some genuinely Evil Guys Hall of Infamy material

I don't really feel like celebrating *any* holiday since the election. I'm in survival mode; people are being snatched up on the street and disappeared and I'm seeing it all happen in real time on the tiny pocket computer.

There's nothing worth celebrating in fascism.

I'm in such a weirdly functional state of depression lately to where it feels like my body is just in auto-pilot. I'm going to work, maintaining my house, going to the gym, seeing friends, etc.

But then it's like, "Hey you wanna put up Halloween decorations!"

No, I absolutely don't.

Oh, and he was awarded the Gold Star of Excellence for supplying food to the allies in WWII.

Seriously though - read up on Ettore Boiardi. He is legitimately *the* GOATED Italian worthy of praise.

Dude moved to America at 16 and worked his way up to being head chef at the Plaza Hotel.

He created cheap and easy Italian meal kits for families during the depression...

It's funny whenever someone yells at Tom Morello because they just found out he's a massive lefty but man, the guy has to be at the end of his rope at this point

yearly reminder to people insisting that we view Christopher Columbus as "a man of his time" that *the people responsible for the Spanish Inquisition* thought Columbus was out of pocket

Thomas Lecaque @tlecaque.bsky.social · 1d

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

I always get, "Are you listening?"

Yeah man, I'm somehow listening to everything and nothing at the same time and it's really overwhelming. Why is everyone talking so much.

I think every Ghibli movie is whimsical in some way!

Some are just a little less... uh, child-friendly in tone and imagery

Plato @itsthatoneguy.bsky.social · 5d

Whenever I think of fun and whimsy, I remember Porco Rosso - a movie about a pilot who self-curses himself to look like a pig because he's lost his faith in humanity and is actively on the run from fascists because he wasn't into the fascism.

I get this all the time - "you call everyone a Nazi!"

Yeah well, I guess they should not be Nazis if they didn't want me to call them that

onion person @junlper.beer · 6d

it always blows my mind when these people act like “the left just calls everyone nazis” these days and it’s like no. we’re calling nazis nazis! there just happens to be a lot of them in and around the government these days!

Eli Valley @elivalley.bsky.social · 6d

More history from this Nazi adulated by the Trump team. These are explicit, proud Nazis who scream and cry and call every referee they can find when you quote their Nazism back to them.

someone on the Motorola forums was having the same problem with the camera I've been having, but I just have to share the image they posted to demonstrate the issue.
it's the funniest shit I've ever seen in my life dude

The photo is of an elderly woman in gray clothes that has been so bizarrely processed that it looks both totally over and desaturated

It's true. Never in my wildest dream did I think I'd ever be pro-workout... but here I am, hitting the gym almost every day because it makes the happy brain chemicals flow.

Oh so he *does* have an opinion on something topical - I guess it just needs to be something unrelated to the fascist regime and the release of some important files.

What does Mike Johnson even do?

He never seems to follow the day to day on *anything* Trump is doing.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that
