@naomikritzer.bsky.social There's a pretty great Tumblr post about this: nitewrighter Mar 26 me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDIATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Posting the sign so I can tap it when necessary.

capitalist faux-meritocracy has culminated in treating this man as a Platonic philosopher-king because he has the most money, even though when you scratch the surface he's kind of dumb, and immature enough to be invested in the attention and approval of random teens online

simple typo, he meant "extinguish"

I definitely want to hear more deep thoughts from the guy who claimed Elon Musk's purchase of twitter would "extend the light of consciousness"

It's hilarious that "working class" now applies exclusively to the racist failsons of regional car dealership owners but every unemployed trans person is an "elite".

damn, I for one am extremely surprised that, in Rhode Island of all places, the statewide rollout of a system that handles personally identifiable information and the management of critical systems could ever go wrong

(to those who don't live in the state: this is sarcasm)

Elected Democrat Thrilled He Doesn't Have To Do Anything

i tried this with ben franklin but he wouldnt stop asking about yoga pants and hentai

He shouldn't resign, he should be arrested, criminally charged, prosecuted and jailed. There's no question what he did or of his guilt.

ah, this one

Another 300k civilian loot tables exposed by an insurance database hack. People are getting mobbed in the streets. Pray you don't drop any rares

I am dying. I am surrounded by my children and grandchildren. Clutching my daughter's hand, I sigh, and the sun crosses my face for the last time. My body explodes into twelve gold pieces, one leather gambeson, one dagger

Obligatory post about how even the original PCWorld "reporting" turned out to be garbage.

i'm sorry, at the what opal fields

I'm noticing that, curiously, none of them are steam-powered or made entirely out of baked beans

post by @rikagirlhusband.bsky.social reading: lukewarm: ghibli should've made a zelda movie woke: jim henson should've made a zelda movie in the 90s

"Jim Henson's Zelda" is now occupying the same part of my brain as "Ralph Bakshi's The Never-Ending Story"

lukewarm: ghibli should've made a zelda movie

woke: jim henson should've made a zelda movie in the 90s

Toy Story logo edited to read "Hentai Senpai: Fuck Hotel"

I shouldn't be allowed to use these

This all turns out to be moot because the PCWorld article was, itself, bunk reporting. Oh well.

Evidently the PCWorld article is bunk anyway, so uh, there's that. They've published a retraction and everything.

Cab driver asking Nat from Goldeneye "Lady could you turn DK mode off, I can't see out the back?" She does

can we talk about the fetishization of military power in these games and how they function as propaganda yet or...?

I feel like that guy in Link's Awakening who can only talk to people over the phone? except my phone, is the Internet

To the extent that it might be, there's also the very uncomfortable question of why there would be a dramatic increase in the number of people who feel the need to shoplift deodorant from CVS.

It's amazing how something like this can slip through when even an extremely basic and outdated knowledge of video games is enough to make you go "wait, no". Like, arcade machines in the early 80s disprove this

you're right, the democratic party establishment and moneyed interests had absolutely no say or influence in this matter, how silly of me. Or when Kamala Harris won the primary in... oh, wait

seems bad
