For Generation X, this was our "Doomsday." A 1990 crossover event featuring Alf, Winnie the Pooh, the Muppet Babies, the Chipmunks, Garfield, the Smurfs, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Slimer, Bugs Bunny and Huey, Dewey, and Louie.

okay this is cool good job wotc

People need something to strive for, something to work on, a windmill at which to tilt. These guys would rather work towards destroying all of civilization and rebuilding it from scratch than giving their money away and planting a garden

it’s clear from both public statements and leaked private conversations that a majority of our wealthiest tech billionaires are fundamentally millenarians who believe the apocalypse is just around the corner and they intend and expect to be the few who survive it

whatever big thing in your life you've been hoping would kind of fix itself won't, if it could have it already would have get that diagnosis, actively look for the passion missing from your life, dump your shitty boyfriend,,, take the fucking estrogen

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?

I take it back, give me the pictures of crosswalks and motorcycles. the captchas are evolving and I can't solve this one.

Nobody Gives A Fuck About Moana (2026)

there is a cohort of men who resent the responsibilities and obligations of adulthood — of the fact that you owe things to other people. it is a fundamentally childish impulse that they have reconfigured as the height of masculinity, and i think it informs the parasocial attraction to platner.

what a fucking asshole

This Is Just To Say I have turned off the AI features that were in the update and which you were probably hoping to monetize Fuck you they were stupid so unnecessary and so annoying

Sorry to lib out but I guess my thought on the Fourth is that if it wasn’t possible for this country to really be an egalitarian multiracial democracy someday, the most disgusting people alive wouldn’t be trying so hard to foreclose that possibility

The sole and entire reason evangelicals oppose abortion is because the IRS revoked Bob Jones University's tax-exempt status because they refused to racially integrate. You say this and people look at you like you're nuts!

Trump: It's not working! Why don't they love the fair? How do I make the crowds cheer? Oracle of DC: If you test your strength against the heat with a very long speech, the nation will celebrate harder than they ever have. They will party in the streets. No one will ever forget the night.

I'm utterly digging the relatively newly universally understood "It Happens," as in "when It Happens" or "the day It Happens."

today is happening just once and it is READY FOR YOU with mystery and adventure and glittering love hidden around every corner. it will be here and gone before you know. TIME TO TROT OUT THERE AND MEET IT

this is a terrific opening paragraph for a dystopian pulp novel released in 1997

“Loitering is not permitted in this area. Please proceed to a designated location. Thank you for your cooperation,” a surveillance machine tells a small cluster of National Guard members as they patrol the fenced off Reflecting Pool in the rain.

In the spirit of tactical-everything, I wish somebody would make tactical LARP so folks could run around outside and pretend fight with each other and--oh, I've just reinvented paintball, haven't I?

Kids have less spaces to do physical activity & use their knowledge to solve problems which is why I wanna bring back the power hour of Global Guts & Legends of the Hidden Temple but open one up in every city. I want kids all over battling for the Aggro Crag & answering history & geography for Olmec

the democratic rank and file is being arrested for posting newspaper articles and getting 50 year sentences for distributing zines and democratic leadership is more concerned with their friends getting primaried than any of it

Marinwood, a 125-unit, 100% affordable project in Marin, was permitted today and construction starts immediately. This is the largest affordable housing development in Marin in decades (you could say this century). Thanks Yimby for the laws that made this possible. callmarinhome.org/at-project/m...

Just when I think life has lost its flavor and there's no hope, I'll suddenly be shared a Blue's News item, generated today, like a childhood toy stumbling into my cubicle to go "WE STILL HAVE SO MANY ADVENTURES, JAS-JAS"

Inside Games Daily looks at the possibility Richard "Lord British" Garriott will regain the copyright for the Ultima RPG series. It was sold to EA in 1992, and may qualify for a clause in the Copyright act covering 35+ year old properties. More: www.bluesnews.com/s/299609/

What remains one of the best life hacks I’ve ever learned: at any chain that has a phone number-based rewards system needed for discounts (CVS, Duane Reade, etc.), simply put in the local area code followed by 867-5309. There is always already an account. You will always get the discount.

Maybe it's my nerdly dysfunction, but I just don't get why people need to accumulate so much more than they need, specially when people, like in military families, have trouble paying the bills. www.independent.co.uk/us/money/cra...

Can I ask y’all a genuine question? In all your life online, what’s the greatest social media you’ve ever used?

I think you could make a case that Active Directory is the most consequential software ever written and I wouldn't feel confident trying to argue against it. On the one hand, the Linux kernel runs on basically every device that doesn't have someone sitting in front of it. On the other hand, NTLM

I can hear this post clear as day from 30 years ago

before wi-fi and 5g became a thing, you had to sit through two minutes of your computer screaming at you just to check your email.

I don't think it's capitalism; I think the problem is that everyone accepts the premise that "some people don't count" (with everyone having different ideas of who those people are). Nothing really gets fixed until everyone matters, until every wasted life is considered an unacceptable tragedy

Lupita Nihongo@otsumamiboy.blacksky.app · 2mo ago

I’m not saying capitalism is the only problem but I am saying the global capitalist agenda is a central pillar of our problems & I’m tired of people acting like we can solve our problems without facing this. I don’t think unilateral adherence to other economic societal systems is the solution either

I know Calvin’s dad is already having a moment, but every terrible “outsource precious and fleeting moments with your children to tech so that you can spend more time on your work” pitch makes me think of that one strip I never really cared about as a kid, but care a lot about as an adult.
