Corgis have an extremely low center of gravity and the density of a dead star.

PERFECT for skateboarding! 😇

Reviewers including No Pun Included and Shut Up & Sit Down are boycotting Codenames publisher CGE for releasing a new Harry Potter-themed game while ignoring JK Rowling’s anti-trans rhetoric:

boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...
A blue box to the left with four sillhouette-style humans, each notably wearing wizard-like robes from the Harry Potter universe. The box says Codenames and Back to Hogwarts on it, with Harry Potter in golden letters at the bottom. To the right, a cartoon astronaut head in a Harry Potter scarf winks, a variation of the logo of board game publisher Czech Games Edition.

actually unreal how funny this image is
a two-panel image comprised of edited stills from Sam Raimi’s first Spider-Man film. in the first panel, The Green Goblin is lifting J. Jonah Jameson by the throat, while the newsman desperately says, “It’s a PNG, I swear!” in the second panel, a close-up of The Green Goblin reveals that he’s wearing a jpeg of a hat with a fake checkered ‘transparent’ background behind it, and shouting, “You’re lying!”

Panel 1: Shen, cloaked in shadow due to the contrast from the light outside, is kicking a door in so violently that it flies off the hinges. Only his eyes are visible in the shadow. Panel 2: A person as sitting at a laptop, holding a gaming controller connected to it. They have messy hair and dark shadows under their eyes, and are wearing a sweatshirt and sweatpants. Around them are scattered energy drink containers, ramen rontainers, chip bags, and and napkins. There's also a floor mattress. This person is clearly a shut-in. Panel 3: Shen, still mostly cloaked in shadow, points forward at them with a severe expression on his face, saying "you thought you could escape pride month?" Panel 4: Confetti falls as the shut-in (still in sweatshirt/sweatpants), is paraded through the streets on a stage atop a colorful car, as crowds cheer on both sides. Above them are two drones hovering in the air carrying a banner. The banner has the pride flat on it and arrows pointing down at them.

This is Bodie. He’s here to celebrate the start of Pride Month. Been working on this pose for weeks. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)
a golden retriever puppy on a bright pink rope leash prances through some tall grass. he’s wearing a brightly patterned bandana around his neck and is carrying a miniature six-stripe pride flag in his mouth. his front right paw is raised mid-stride, like he’s ready to hop into a pride parade at any second.

Mammoth is fully my kind of music.

I always like when a bonkers music video introduces me to a new band. I want you to guess who directed this video before...The End (get it, cause it's the name of the-- you get it)

People are starting to get their copies of Everbloom and it's still an amazing feeling every time it happens.

I hope that designers and publishers will still get to have this feeling this year/next year/always because there is nothing like creating fun for others.
