A U.S. president cannot be held accountable. Therefore, a U.S. president must never make a policy decision.

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

My world, my Earth is a ruin. A planet spoiled by the human species. We multiplied and fought and gobbled until there was nothing left, and then we died. We controlled neither appetite nor violence; we did not adapt. We destroyed ourselves. But we destroyed the world first.

Black people five years ago: you know, they can kill anyone they want to out there

Everybody today: hot damn, did you know they can kill anyone they want to out there?

“I want a progressive movement that is aggressively pro raising wages at the bottom and aggressively pro immigration. These are completely coherent goals.” Great piece by @polphilpod.bsky.social

"If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money."

I keep thinking about this post and how it's one of the best, most succinct messages Democrats could use in 2026 campaigns.

If you want to know who took all of your money, it's the people with all of the money. Famously, we know that's people working in child care.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro
“Be kind, be involved, believe in your art,” he said. “At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.”

Vita means life!! =)
A horned character sits astride a horse, casting a long shadow over a cliff overlooking an ancient temple and the long bridge with symmetrical arcing supports leading to it. Fumito Ueda's original painting/concept for Nico, which became Shadow of the Colossus. The painting evokes both a spirit of adventure and a mournful sense of emptiness, evoked by the barren landscape ahead.

Mega Man Legends (PS1) (1997)

2/2
Encountering a cute little Horokko Reaverbot in one of MegaMan's dungeon delving escapades. It's a cylindrical green robot that looks like two marshmallows stuck on top of one another with additional four marshmallows for legs. It's just stumbling around the dark cyber-dungeon, looking all cute with its one red eye and smiling, searching for its next victim. The downtown part of the Kattelox Island city, a beautiful, cozy town with white, yellow and green pastel-colored houses and buildings, clean wide roads and cute chunky red cars driving around town. It's just a neat look at the art direction of this gorgeous looking game, makes you wanna live in that town. The Cannam Reaverbot, a spider-like robot with a cylindrical head and what looks like a bent, L-shaped penis, hanging from the ceiling of an ancient sci-fi dungeon, looking very creepy. Exploring the town's Apple Market, a beautiful indoor mall full of cute shops for anything you'd like, a casual meeting place for people of all ages socializing and walking around. We see a closeup of Paprika, a very good boye pup pup with white fur and brown splotches, wearing a red collar and jumping around just being the cutest dog ever. <3

Mega Man Legends (PS1) (1997)

1/2
The yellow and red sunfish-shaped Flutter, a small airship and home of our heroes, gently floating through the beautiful blue skies with a few puffy clouds scattered about. Below we see a vast ocean that stretches beyond the horizon, a world covered in water with a few island nations. What if Waterworld... but robots? There's an ancient cylindrical structure sticking out of the ocean, probably a chimney that contributed to the climate change from the previous civilization. Our heroes, MegaMan Volnutt, a dark haired boy with his signature blue armor and next to him at the helm of the Flutter, Roll Caskett, a blonde girl with spiky Knuckles the Echidna style hair, wearing a red uniform and big red hat. They look happy and carefree, eager to get to their next adventure in this perpetually dying, ocean-covered hellscape. Man this game looks gorgeous all these years later, just a beautiful anime style art direction with clear, brightly colored shapes and characters, it's beautiful! MegaMan being startled by a massive Reaverbot, an ancient gray-ish robot six little legs, big chunky body, drills for hands and a knight's helmet shaped head with a big red eye and ridges on its face that give it a menacing, skeletal look. It's missing one of its arms, probably due to being so old. (that's what happens when you get old, kids) Though huge and evil looking, its skeletal smile hints at it maybe, possibly being a cuddly friend? MegaMan doesn't wait to find out and jumps off of the ledge into the ocean. (but actually lands on the Flutter and escapes) A beautiful forest clearing with bright green grass, quite the contrast to a disturbing situation of an old man being cornered by a police officer and an inspector that looks like if Inspector Gadget got old and fat and grew mustache. They're here to arrest the old man, one professor Barrell Caskett under suspicion of exploiting his granddaughter and adopted grandson by sending them on dangerous adventures for his own fame and profit.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

being canceled is not a real thing, it is a neologism describing the stigma that should come from bad behavior. the only consequences that come from it are the ones we collectively imposed, and as the last decade has shown, no one with institutional power is interested in that.

After years of useless posture advice ("imagine a string pulling you up"???), the only technique that's ever worked for me is to imagine there are laser beams coming out of your nipples and aim for people's heads. It works, and people cannot tell you're doing it
Meme of lone person in the corner of a party while others socialize, thinking "they don't know I'm... lining up headshots with my laser nipples". Laser beams are shooting out of his nipples at the other party goers

sometimes i just stop and think about how brilliant the first, like, two levels of metal gear solid 4 are. that core system premise of "stealth in the middle of an active two-way battlefield" is absolutely brilliant, i need a whole game of *just that*

tetsuya mizuguchi truly, earnestly believes, with his whole heart and whole mind, that generic vocal trance from 2003 has the power to awaken humanity's shared consciousness and guide us to universal peace. The strength of his conviction is so powerful that it might actually cause this to be true

Ryan Moulton @moultano Oil is the most Lovecraftian thing that actually exists. You're telling me that there's a black ichor under the earth, made from the ancient dead, whose burning can realize all the dreams of man but only at the price of slowly returning the earth to its primordial state?
