nothing against the film which I’m excited to see in a few minutes but… Canva ass poster. Oh, you made “70MM” hollow? Wow!! And is that giant… in FRONT of some text? What fantastic use of auto background removal, I would’ve NEVER thought of that!

The most interesting thing the game did had to do with beating the game and starting over and then I think about how many people actually played the main story to the end… lol. Lmao

Starfield is almost three years old now and in that time I have yet to see a single piece of fanart or meme or anything about the contents of the game itself. The extent to which they spent years on that game only for it to be met with a resounding cultural disinterest is fascinating

I mean they're being babies about this, but "dodging a loophole" by moving someone into the property/renting it out long term/establishing residency here is kind of the point??

Kansas hasn’t elected a dem to senate since 1932 but they also LOVE electing moderate democratic women governors who appoint tons of state Supreme Court judges that protect the right to abortion

Taniel@taniel.bsky.social · last wk.

A major defeat for conservatives in Kansas, who were hoping to make inroads on the state supreme court by switching the state to regular elections. Their measure was defeated 61/39. (I'll have more to say on what this means for the court going forward soon.)

i almost wonder if a lot people have internalized the "both sides" to the point where they feel they have to give each party some strengths and weaknesses (combined with the fact that people don't actually believe you when you tell them what republican policies are)

You dumb asses, we HAD year round outdoor dining and then you let the city’s department of transportation end it because it was using 0.03% of parking spots

New York City Council@council.nyc.gov · 2w ago

What if you and your besties could sip Aperol Spritzes outside ALL YEAR-ROUND?🍹 The Council is pushing to bring back year-round outdoor dining, allowing everyone to get more seating at their favorite restaurant –– and small businesses to have more customers in every season.

dell made a nice little aluminum laptop like the macbook neo and while personal computing is mostly a depressing space right now, I think it's neat that little laptops are back

knowing that adult sunfish are like, practically floating corpses full of parasites, “disintegrates” is more like it

Underwater video captures the moment killer whales in the Gulf of California slam into a sunfish causing it to explode into smithereens. Researchers suspect the orcas are blowing up the fish to provide food — and possibly fun — for the group.

"Taco Bell is the last bastion of corporate responsibility" is the 2026 business version of "the Catholic Church has the morale high ground over the American government" that would be really head scratching in the late 90s

"Kennedy Diarrhea" is a lot of syllables, but "The Kennedy Bug" feels like it undersells it. not sure yet how to work explosive in there

CDC stopped monitoring parasite now causing explosive diarrhea across the country

neighborhood subreddits are for asking if anyone else heard the loud sound, working with other users to discern the nature of the loud sound, and absolutely nothing else

might have to revise this because now I’m in our regular place that’s usually empty on a Tuesday night showing the 🇲🇽/ 🇪🇨 game and have joined the crowd cheering for El Tri

They finally did it. A group of reformers who have been fighting for years to overthrow the Brooklyn Democratic Party leadership on Tuesday won the majority they need to take over the county party and oust its chair, Rodneyse Bichotte Hermelyn. hellgatenyc.com/morning-spew...

Personally, if I were one of the Third Way ghouls who helped to hollow out labor, vilify the poor (especially when they’re black), and lay the ground work for furthering private profit over public good, I would shut the fuck up when a new era of young politicians attempted to revive my party.

i love my konkr pocket fit and got it for this reason (and burnout 3) but for every time Gamehub works perfectly, another game just doesn't run at all.

Every day when bad stuff is going on, I can think back to how much teachers are putting in the time to make special experiences for these kids, and to empower them, and that feels good. I made a doc about it for Polygon back in May, and I would love for more people to see it: youtu.be/nLsQjV35y_U
