It's so rare to see an actual apology on here, gives me hope

Apologizing for the pain that actually happened regardless of circumstances, explanations but ZERO excuses, and no guilt tripping for those still hurt.

My gosh, it's almost like it's possible to be accountable on the internet😭
A sincere apology and a promise to do better <3

I want 100k subscribers one day.

I do NOT. EVER. Want a million.

The things I've heard, man
people who have not gone viral: you are gatekeeping and you’re all lying about it being awful

people who have gone viral: no. seriously. DON’T.

All right, I posted something positive and waited an hour, so I'm allowed this:

Hopefully this is actually good, as it means he definitely won't win the primary.

"Centrism" means appealing to both sides, and 70% of actual, paid govt dems say it is a genocide.

So he's going against his own party.
Ben Shapiro: "Israel did not commit a genocide in Gaza"
Gavin Newsom: "I agree with you."

Hooray, a browser is finally asking the public about what they think (and actually allowing you to opt out, finally)

And its worth it to do the survey just to see the results 😆 its a small hope spot in a rough time

Disregarding everything else (and acknowledging that its most likely intentional ragebait)...

That is such a one-to-one translation of golden age Lara that the only complaint that they could have is that her bazongas are not polygongas.

What are we even doing, man

With the recent ban on AI at any level of production at GW and stories like this about how Queer folk are finding a place and helping to boot out the nazis, it's supremely ironic that the Grimmest Setting In Scifi is becoming one of the nicest places to escape 😆
It's a stressful day with trans sports bans at the Supreme Court, but we have counterprogramming in the form of a lovely story about trans people playing games with little painted figurines.

Trans People are Wargamers Whether the Fandom Likes it or Not — Assigned
Wargaming, a traditionally masculine-coded hobby, has, in recent years, become a home to many trans and queer players.

Not even a man specifically! If ANY character in any capacity tells Samus what to do and she doesn't immediately flip them off for having the gall, 80% of the appeal is gone for me.

It's why I'm not all that keen on Fusion either
"You can't hate a game if you haven't pla-"

A man tells Samus what to do constantly. It fails automatically.

I've heard conflicting sources on whether it's "animation" shortened or a french loan word (and the e accent doesn't really matter when "e" is pronounced the french way regardless) but if you're right, it's still funny that two separate languages shortened the word in the exact same way! 😆
That is a fun thought, but I believe "anime" is short for "animation" (アニメーション, animēshon). Not actually the French word (unless you specifically add the ´ but that's not how it is in japanese)

What about anime style cartoons from French Canada?

Francanime? Or just "Quenime"? 😆
Canadanime should be a term.
January 15, 2026 at 1:30 AM
Never doesn't weird me out that we use a french word for animation in general to mean animation from Japan specifically 😅

And then it gets even weirder when you remember there was a time people called french animation that has a Japanese aesthetic... "Franime"

Learning about how FFX's awkward dialogue is because the game would crash if the english audio file was even half a second slower than the Japanese has been amazing for my revisit.

Instead of rolling my eyes, I'm instead impressed at how often they actually nail it with such a bizarre restriction 😅

Here is a list of truths.

Cancer is a horrific and inhumane way to die.

68 is still much too young in this era. Everyone should be allowed to reach at least 85.

Scott Adams was a talented but horrible person who pushed against vaccines.

I hate how he died, but I'm not sad hes dead.

I'm not someone who thinks it falls onto a partner to convince men to change their ways ("I can change him" is super toxic outside of fiction) but I can't deny this is hilarious and an absolute good 😅

To be clear:

APPRECIATING Kid stuff is fine & good, even as hyperfixation. We need all the joy we can grasp & the best stuff is made by people in their 20s-50s who are passionate about the medium.

HOARDING & GATEKEEPING kid stuff, THAT is what's gross. It goes against the joy it first brought you
It's painful watching every child's toy get ruined by collector scum, as if that wasn't something many showrunners hadn't skewered in the shows they'd grown up as children. Way too many 80s-00s kids growing up into this, even after being warned about such things:

Bring back clear colored plastic in electronics, Jeans skorts, that hairdo Rikku had in Final Fantasy X and a lack of ICE
semi-regular reminder that ICE was only created in 2003

when you are asked to imagine a world without ICE, you're basically being asked to remember where you were when Lilo & Stitch came out
