I'm just now in 2026 playing Undertale for the first time. My only window into the game was through memes and YouTube poops. I didn’t think that the game would be this profound and emotional. I understand why it became such a cultural touchstone.

I know we’ve individually each had our own we live in a society Joker moment in regards to this administration, but it’s still insane to me that a little over half of our government is filled to the brim with people whose primary source for information is alt right conspiracy podcast grifters.

"It works" -- Ron Johnson is using his questioning time to tout hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin 🙃 (I guess we should've put lightbulbs up our assess too 🥴)

I understand that power creep in FEH is lightning fast at this point, but it genuinely pisses me off that Summer Baldr, a unit less than a month old is not able to do a SINGLE point of damage to the new Ike in the story mode. If I wailed for this game I’d be genuinely furious.

I feel like the average career republican comes from a different dimension or a bizarreo world, because half of the things they say in front of a camera that they believe are “common sense” opinions are things no human being on Earth has ever believed or experienced. They live in a fantasy world.

Scalise: "For God's sake -- you can't get pasta at Olive Garden without a picture ID! Why not be able to show a picture ID to vote?"

Hot take: 9.9 times out of 10 the “I consider myself to be very intelligent” type of person is wayyyy dumber that the “I need more information before I can make an informed decision” Type of person. Just on the principle that they’re more likely to adapt to new information on the fly.
