Not knowing anything about sports, I was slightly worried seeing the top trending item atm lmaoooooo.

0.016% of the UK has been on The Chase

It is very interesting to me how in the internet age, "lost media" has changed meaning from "media which literally no longer exists" to "media which is no longer publicly distributed." Our standards for accessibility are so high now that a delisting is seen as the forever end of something.

TIL there are bars in the UK Parliament building and people regularly drink heavily on the job. This feels like it explains many things lol.

BOURDAIN (voiceover): I found myself surrounded by discarded objects. An empty soda can, a dead battery. Life becomes death. But death can become life. The simmering pot with its spicy aroma in front of me is proof. BOURDAIN: What's in this dish? ME: Pikmin BOURDAIN: Pikmin. Oh man that's good.

Very happy to see Abdul El-Sayed take the primary last night. Here's to hoping we can win this thing in November. It'd be great to get someone I actually have some faith in to represent me in Congress for once.

Just got back from voting here in Michigan and I'm very pleased to report that my new precinct still had the 2024 stickers, which my old precinct ran out of before I voted in 2024. Very excited to see this year's winners lol.

I did my calls, please do yours!

‼️ACTION ALERT: The Senate Commerce Committee is holding “kids safety” circus again, this time considering both KOSA (the Kids Online Safety Act) & SCREEN Act, two of the most dangerous censorship & age verification bills on the table! CALL YOUR LAWMAKERS & TELL THEM TO OPPOSE 📲 248-331-8665

Once again baffled by the weird thing where I take a nap and my mouth is just on fire with the worst taste imaginable until the next day no matter what I do.

But they will be

I don't think people are ready for this kind of joke yet.

I was kinda hoping that the Steam Frame might get hit less by the price hikes in the tech space lately because it's using an older phone SOC with memory on package that presumably has old stock that needs liquidating. Seems like that was optimistic! Can't wait to drop $1600 on this thing lol.

I like to roll my eyes at the stupidity of some of the international days, but apparently today is international mahjong day and I must take the opportunity to yell at everyone to learn it lol.

Man, the Confederates had some wacky ideas about the meaning of the Civil War (you might appreciate this, @djinnandtonic.bsky.social)

Honestly I think this just makes it all the more insulting how shallow the jump is when you mistime your button press, like what do you mean a couple frames makes *that* much difference?

Supper Mario Broth@mariobrothblog.bsky.social · 6d ago

In Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, green trampolines make Mario jump so high he goes offscreen for 6 seconds. By extracting his position values from the code, we can "zoom out" the stage and visualize his actual arc, which reveals just how absurdly high the jump is.

No professional accomplishment has ever made me happier than this. theonion.com/translator-o...

Translator Of Original ‘Minions’ Epic Poem Slams ‘Sexless, Bloodless’ Film Adaptation

PHILADELPHIA—In a 4,500-word essay published in Harper’s Magazine, Emily Wilson, known for her popular translation of the Minions epic poem, blasted the latest film Thursday as a “sexless, bloodless” ...

In other words, NYT is increasingly becoming a gaming and recipe company, with revenue from that business helping subsidize the higher costs of their journalism (which has been weaponized in favor of trans genocide). They depend on liberals not caring enough to boycott them.

If the Ken Jennings thing is somehow your first time learning that the New York Times is systemically transphobic and you want alternatives to your daily games, I'll bring up again that Wordle and Connections are straight up ripoffs of some game shows and there are plenty of other versions!

The new Riichi City mode is hilarious, I just had a match end in twelve discards. Literally took less time than most of my queues lmao. Did not think it would be possible to make the typical sanma rules seem balanced but here we are!

Idea: treadmill that is just a giant circle like it's a hamster wheel. I'm sure this would work wonderfully.

come with me, and you'll be, in a world of cow decapitation

Doesn't matter how many years I've been alive, I still get surprised by just how dark the sky gets sometimes when it storms lol.

another day at the station

It's just occurring to me how strange it is that iPad has kind of been *the* tablet for the entire time the category has existed, and yet somehow Apple managed to lose the battle of whether tablets are landscape or portrait devices. Baffling to miss something so fundamental and still be the winner.

Every now and then I'm reminded of the very likely possibility that literally everyone on the planet is a fucking moron and we have zero hope of ever getting anywhere as a species. Today is one of those days lol.

Currently engaging in some bullshit with some friends for those interested lol.

I for one am actually quite excited to go out and vote El-Sayed which is something I've been unable to feel about anyone I might vote for in my entire time being of voting age. I certainly wouldn't feel it voting for Stevens in the general.

Ben Collins@bencollins.bsky.social · 2w ago

A dark money campaign is offering influencers $1,500 per post to attack Abdul El-Sayed and support Haley Stevens. Same exact dollar figure that was paid to attack @katmabu.bsky.social (Nobody ever found out who was paying for that campaign.) Gross, lazy and above all cynical shit.

i can't believe it, they made luigi do the 67
