Do you care about access to COVID vaccines? Here's something you can do that's more effective than ranting on Bluesky (and takes about the same amount of time)!* * No shade to ranting, I do a lot of it myself.

You know what doesn't get enough love? Great Illustrated Classics. It was/still is this line of books that rewrote classic works of literature for a children's reading level, but they only simplified the prose, I don't recall them ever censoring or changing the plot itself. They got me into reading.

I don't think it's any coincidence that a guy from Illinois which only recently began to extricate from decades of political corruption is more attuned to the current situation than party leaders in one-party states like California or New York

And if we want to engage with thoughts about the monster, we already have Bride of Frankenstein which says "If Victor had made the Bride, it would have gone poorly and a lot of what the Creature does is a parallel to Victor right down to his entitlement about wanting a bride."

For as long as I’ve been into US comics - coming up 40 years - it’s been a smallish industry that remembers being big. For the first 20 of those years the refrain was “how can we get kids to read comics again?” and for the last 20 it’s been “yeah but we meant these other comics”

A lot of it was also Mattrick chasing unicorns, eventually overreaching with the XB1's bullshit DRM. I also find it funny how the Western-dominated era of the industry coincides with the fumbles of Microsoft and then the Switch's launch really brings the Japanese focus back

So, we all agree Trump is hopped up on a cocktail Herbert West would find excessive right? Keep in mind a proposed script for a Re-Animator film was that Herbert West was hired to used his drug on a recently deceased president.

Basically a perfect storm where Sony overreached, Japanese devs were moving to handhelds, and Western devs just pumped money into everything to ride a sugar high. And to think that was all a fight for second place that ended in a sugar crash when the PS4 came around

I've seen people try to concern troll about him not having background in political office...but neither did Warren, Ossoff, or Warnock. And they've all been pretty good Senators.

I am amused that Mamdani is seen as a raving communist for suggesting mid-tier FDR type reforms and there's an actual Eugene Debs dude running for Senate in Maine and he's not freaking out anybodyyyy oh yes. Shit. He's white. Sorry, I just got it. Go about your business.

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

And then Meteor fell, rendering the original FFXIV a mere memory. As YoshiP said of it, "NIGHTMARE!"

I'm pretty sure he started with his loudmouth shtick which made the Japanese diplomats go "Okay, thank you for the comedian pretending to be an American stereotype, but where's the real ambassador?" and then spent the rest of his tenure getting shitfaced at Tokyo izakaya

I'm reminded of Youtubers who, instead of taking a breath to think "okay, maybe I'm the asshole" when saying something stupid, just go pure asshole and decide "Fuck you, I refuse to learn anymore."
AiddonValentine (@aiddonvalentine.bsky.social) reply parent
Seriously, it's the exact same script every fucking time and not once have I ever seen them realize they're engaging in a cliche, especially when they inevitable nopology is done (usually on Youtube with cherry picking examples) which is the final "I'm not gonna change, fuck you." Just egomaniacal

Every one of these faded stars' Loser Era can all be traced back to them giving a really bad take and proceeding to just post through it instead of going "Okay, I think fucked something up here." Journalists, authors, Youtubers (especially Youtubers), can never just delete something

90% of former leaders fading in any field is that they never took a moment to go "Huh, maybe I fucked something up here if people who I agree with 90% of the time are calling me out" instead of just posting through it

The nadir of the series where Kojima was officially out of ideas, wasn't enjoying himself anymore, and showing why he needed to leave it years before but refused because he was afraid of it going into an era that didn't need him. Even storywise it's basically filler

Drug abuse was a topic of great concern during the silent era and films about addiction-- drug and alcohol-- were popular and frequently graphic. This Essanay film was released in 1909.

Also, longtime party loyalists are pissed off and looking for replacements which is the worst environment for incumbents to be in. If they're hoping for a "You can't get rid of me, you need me!" strategy, keep in mind that's what people in 2006 thought. It didn't save them

The reason some Republicans have gone harder is because they've accepted that the vestiges before 2016 are now gone and there is nothing to redeem or save anymore. Meanwhile, too many Dems are still trying to save their obsolete 2012 strategies and thus refuse to fight
