Playing Super Mario World at kid’s gymnastics class. Sometimes it seems like these liminal waiting room type places is the only place I can play games guilt free. There is this comfort that I can’t be doing anything else it gives me freedom. #retrogaming
Thanks @retrogamermag.bsky.social for introducing me to Pub Trivia Simulator on #zxspectrum by Codemasters. I wanted to capture a little footage, ended up playing for like 45 minutes! I love the time-capsule element of trivia games on these old consoles. #retrogaming

Watching American History X again (great movie) and the least believable part of the movie is that the LAPD have some kind of task force for building a case against the Neo Nazi group Ed Norton's character is a part of. Police roll out the red carpet for neo nazis.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoTrump announces "fraud whistleblower incentive program" -- "Americans will now be able to go to fraud dot gov and report cases of corruption and theft of taxpayer dollars in their communities ... if you turn somebody in and you find $1 billion, we're giving a commission of 1%.

”trained professionals” justify executions without consequence
Going on record to say there is 0 amount of shoplifting (even a MILLION DOLLARS of shoplifting) which justifies a firearm ever going off... Into a car with multiple people... with a child in it... coming from a "trained" officer. I FUCKING HATE IT HERE.

Mamdani: "What you could see in the videos is bystanders outside unsure as to what they were even seeing. Because in that imagery, it feels as if you’re almost looking at a mass shooter as opposed to seeing someone who’s purportedly representing a federal agency."

Don Moynihan@donmoyn.bsky.social · 8mo agoThis is a lie on a scale of Elon Musk saying he would cut the deficit to zero. Just insane. Not just untrue, but the opposite of the truth, which is that immigrants are lowering the deficit. www.cato.org/white-paper/...
