Welp now that Your Party has thoroughly torn itself to shreds before even picking a name I really need both the Scottish Greens and GPEW to seriously lock in and make things happen

wild that MP3 is an audio file, MP4 is a video file, but MP5 is a submachine gun. Digimon-ass evolution line.

Thank you I will use this newfound power to be even more adamant that I'm correct when arguing about Pokémon designs or various movies with my friends

Announcing Hollow Knight Silksong's release day with exactly enough notice that a sufficiently dedicated fan could hand in their notice today and quit their job in time to play it is kinda hilarious ngl

As much as we all love to make fun of MatPat for giving the Pope a copy of Undertale, it's kind of impressive that Francis became such a committed UR/DT fan that he was running church services in anticipation of Deltarune Chapter 4 almost every single day until his death

Breaking News: man running on a platform of doing nice things nicely uses covert cinematography skills to make his campaign look nice for broad appeal. Many critics fear he may have benefitted from the support of his loved ones in doing this.

Slowking got deprived of a vote from me since I assumed sorting it by region meant that Galarian Slowking would be separated into the Galar poll, oops

"we used the Fascism-Pollution Computer to generate a horrible boomer cartoon about how Donald Trump is very stupid" yeah sure good work there I'm sure they're all feeling very owned right now. Maybe they'll even change their behaviour!

Welp they clearly decided that too many gays were getting excited about the conclave as a catty drama and hence decided to make all those people miserable with a 1 day vote that ends in "American Pope". Really brought lots of us back down to earth with that one

RFK looks, moves, and talks like he's suffering from planned obsolescence after passing the Kennedy politician life expectancy. His body just figured he'd get shot before he turned 55 and now it doesn't know what to do with itself

One of the coolest things about being queer is that homophobes and transphobes are extremely easy to make fun of and cishet allies just do not have as many creative avenues for making jokes at the expense of bigots

For myself and a lot of my other trans friends at university, the latest news hit right on the precipice of deadline season for a lot of project and dissertation work and that makes it feel even more like a sick joke

John you evil stupid melt, people are going to die because of this. What is even the point of you if you're going to roll over and submit to the discrimination poisoning the rest of the country you claim to want independence from?

As obviously terrible as the tariffs situation is for millions of people in the US suffering under Trump, the silver lining of the Switch 2 pre-order delays is that this may have saved thousands of teenage cishet white boys from falling down an alt-right pipeline on the internet

Maybe it's just because the Switch 2 is the first Nintendo console whose launch I am experiencing as an actual adult but I am definitely feeling like the interest I have in stuff like Mario Kart World has been severely dampened by the cold, hard reality that everything is expensive and terrible now

Some might find this to be controversial but maybe it's irresponsible journalism to describe an ongoing ceasefire in Gaza, implying it to still be in effect, while reporting on the IDF blatantly breaching that ceasefire to blow up children again

I think you're right that it'll be considered the 10th entry, but giving anything a subtitle of X right now feels so open to mockery that I wouldn't be surprised if the name was being changed from that to something else behind closed doors
