Kamen Rider Fourze celebrates its 15th anniversary today.

😦

No, see, it's only a legitimate labour-saving device when it benefits me personally. If it eases or facilitates any kind of work that I wasn't expecting to have to do anyway, it's a symptom of the epidemic of laziness that's bringing about the decline of Western civilisation.

i love that this has had literally no impact on my day lol

A guy on my parents street just passed and thinking about how he spent my whole life saying he didnt like kids and completely ignored us except the time I fell off the wall & cracked my head open & he drove me to the hospital called my folks & still never spoke to me again, RIP to a real legend

Even aside from Rowling being an insane monster, Jesus fuck I am sick of hearing about Harry Potter

without saying your age, what's your favorite movie that came out when you were 20 years old? There were a lot of major movies that year, but I've got to give it to my most used image.

Cepheid@wrdnrd.bsky.social · 2d ago

Well, "Wayne's World" is hard to beat for this year, although "My Cousin Vinny" also came out and i'd say Marisa Tomei easily beats Wayne and Garth. But what else came out in '92? Oh, HANDS DOWN, NO COMPETITION

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

I converted to Catholicism last week. Here’s what the Sermon on the Mount gets wrong.

This isn't even bad reflux, but it has been mostly absent for so long I am very grumpy about it.

"maybe Scrooge was right" Scrooge wasn't real! He was invented specifically for the purpose of being wrong!

Abigail Larson@abigaillarson.com · 4d ago

"Maybe Scrooge was right-" he was not. He was a miserly asshole facing the same demise as his former business partners if he didn't make some serious changes with how he treats the people around him. That's the point.

the 90s retro thing is really going HARD these days eh

NEW: MapQuest is currently the number one navigation app on the Apple App Store, overtaking Google Maps thanks to Google's decision to follow Trump's lead in renaming Lake Ontario as Lake America.

Liquor chain, are you spamming everyone with this many e-mails or is this specific to me because your system flagged that I reduced my drinking? Either way, gross.

"I already boycott The New York Times/don't have a subscription, what can I do?" A lot! You can: * Share our call for boycott. Tell others about the NYT's role in trans genocide * Stop sharing NYT links, even to dunk on them * Pressure the pension/retirement funds invested in the NYT to divest

Trans News Network@transnews.network · 2w ago

"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.

Our pumpkin plant has put out only one gourd on a single, long vine.

well, the internet nerds haven't supplied this info, so I guess I will have to be the one to freeze-frame my way through Strange New Worlds to identify the make of motorcycle Ortegas is working on. And by that I mean probably send images to my dad.

Evergreen post for all creative fields.

I presented a guest lecture at a game dev University a while back and I felt obliged to front-load the caveat, “I dunno how I got here and, honestly, its probably not replicable anyway cause my entry point was decades ago… I’m sorry.” 😬

Flu season is almost upon us. Stay safe, folks

Listening to the new album from the Linda Lindas — love how it’s all polished pop rock stuff and then suddenly the one cousin is like “hey I wrote a metalcore track” and they were like “yeah let’s do it”

I really love these photos! They still make me laugh

I support cities ripping their Flock cameras out but I lowkey think a huge part of why cops have been largely okay with cities abandoning it is that the service is effectively a honeypot to entrap domestic abuser cops into leaving a paper trail of their crimes.

The deputy resigned after an investigation uncovered an alleged history of racism, stalking, and sexual abuse.

Helmets are important, but they do not serve the same function on the same scale as, say, solid barriers between car and bike traffic.

Sooooo, are we going to get a massive open letter expressing support for academic freedom over this, or is such a response only reserved for openly racist postdocs who violated their contract and bullied a man to death? I have a solid guess, but I want to be proven wrong.

A civilian geography professor was fired from West Point for pushing back after department officials barred faculty from teaching that humans contribute to climate change.

Okay, you got two good 80 year olds, now go for the one that'll make us all happy.

When we hate on these disgusting immoral evil billionaires it’s bc just look at everything Dolly did. They could be doing that. They could just be helping people and every day they choose not to help people. They choose to harm. And when they die, we’ll dance and laugh and be thankful they’re gone.

her very existence was an indisputable reminder of how many things framed as inevitabilities were actually just someone’s choice. there actually is enough money for everything. the wealthy could fully fund literacy and public health and the arts and child welfare. they just won’t

Luke O'Neil@lukeoneil47.bsky.social · last wk.

By almost any measure Dolly embodied "the American Dream." Some people will come from nothing and make it big and consider the problem now solved. Others will remember that there are still others with nothing and use what they have to help.
