Made a video about Haikyuu and why it's the best shit ever.
I've got a few wee personal things in the works right now, so I'm flat out. But if people like these I might make a bunch more.

Probably not a popular take, but I reckon game review people could defo dial it back a notch whenever someone says something dumb about reviews. There's always gonna be a tension there, no-one likes to be publicly criticised. Also, haven't we gone over this a zillion times already?

Q: What goals do you have for '26 in Congress for your agenda?
TRUMP: I have great executive orders. Like, water coming out of a sink. The water wouldn't come out. They had all sorts of restrictions. I took them off. Straws. They don't have to be paper anymore. I'd like to have all that confirmed.

Every single time I hit "post" I cower in shame. We can live without this.
the perennial "is this a good replacement for twitter / can it become as big as twitter" discussion is so confused. hominids became bipedal about 7 million years ago. for most of the time since we did not have microblogging. it's not a necessity it's a habit, if it all goes away that's fine

The second your post escapes from the direct group of followers you get direct access to the most insane people you could ever imagine.
who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters
