the popularity of Nick @ Nite was really funny because you’d be in high school in 2008 with friends who were longtime fans of The Golden Girls
I know people are tired and overworked, but I feel like oftentimes they’re offloading a creative (and, on some level, rewarding) activity to free up time that they’ll ultimately spend scrolling on their phones—thereby further reducing their brains to mush. it’s a vicious cycle of meaninglessness

the trans athlete "debate" remains one of the most obviously manufactured controversies in recent memory and yet there are vast swaths in the media and politics who are willing to just go along with it because i don't even know why. we're an easy target, i guess.

last year lobstercon sold out in 90 seconds. this year they're doing things differently. 🦞🦞🦞 no participation cap! but if you want to attend you need to back the kickstarter to ensure that duress crew can make it happen. i just pledged my support. there's 20 days left. ➡️ duressfest.com
We give out alters at our monthly Premodern events to top finishes. For Dec we gave out winter themed alters to everyone who played. We also run charity events and give out stamped cards. Lots of Rats. The pups and Factories are two fav sets I made
This is the grand prize for the PEACE tournament in Berkley, MI. I altered this entire deck and all proceeds from the event benefit Forgotten Harvest (supplying food for people in need). There will also be free food, an art table, raffles, and alters from many many artists in the community!
My favorite Premodern deck wouldn’t be nearly as fun to play without getting to admire the awesome work of @tromps.bsky.social and Shertie every game

Jason Scott@textfiles.com · last mo.I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online.

McDonald's Japan started running a new ad where they recreate "I can't defeat Airman" to advertise iced coffee, but the video is region locked on twitter so fuck em here's the video with English subtitles.
I cannot possibly imagine a funnier sports result than James Harden winning the title with the Cleveland Cavaliers. It’s an even bigger space-time continuum rip than the Cubs winning the World Series. Like, they’ll hoist the trophy and the sand worm from Beetlejuice will appear
