very direct evidence that video game piracy is important in the preservation of video games
"Hey Ferb, I know what we're going to do today!" *One week later* *camera cuts to extremely exhausted Phineas* "You know Ferb, I'm not used to our inventions taking this long to build..."
I'm really sorry man. Praying for you and your family
This should be the lead story in all major national news outlets. Public health people prefer to stay out of the limelight unless there is no other choice. I can’t overstate how bad things have to be for 9 former CDC directors to band together and pen an op-ed in the NYT warning the entire country.
My only contribution to the banter is that usually when an American takes a picture of what they call American food it at least looks like it would be tasty. I can't consistently say the same about what Brits call British food

Sister Rosetta Tharpe is one of the coolest people who ever lived and you should know who she is. You don't get rock & roll without her.
NEW: 72 of the 76 Guatemalan children previously boarded onto planes have been returned to ORR custody, per DOJ, with the remaining 4 expected to be returned in the next 15 min. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
The sad part is while I know the joke here is obviously that it was Giuliani I wouldn't put it past Bloomberg either
The cultural symbol that is D.C.’s Sandwich Guy has made it to the Washington Spirit game today. (Read all about the new folk hero here: 51st.news/the-subrisin...)
Okay. I just came back to this and you aren’t calling these efforts resegregation yet, you absolutely should be

The U.K. is a police state
Anna has had excellent coverage of this developing case in which the Trump administration tried to use the holiday weekend to secretly and illegally deport children.
This feels like what I would imagine a snail has nightmares about.
One of several top CDC officials to leave their post this week—after Kennedy fired the agency’s director for refusing to “rubberstamp unscientific, reckless directives"—is telling all. Including that Kennedy has never been briefed by any of the center’s scientists on major diseases. trib.al/Vd2vBxu
Nothing is certain except death, taxes, and highway engineers surprised by induced demand
The extent to which ICE is ignoring all civil rights and due process is astounding — and indicative of a culture where they’ve been told they can do literally no wrong. Agency and admin leaders must face sanctions and legal consequences.
👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 For those who don’t remember, this is the little girl who brought global awareness onto Flint, MI’s water issues. Understand that we got babies out here doing work just to help us all get by and that in and of itself is a damning failure of our systems
NC voters should not have to choose between their right to vote and their personal data security.
Honestly? For all its flaws I still liked it a lot. Could have done without the musical bits but I like Robotnik and his minions in this one and Sonic and Manic have a fun dynamic
Every time your electricity bill goes up for the next 10 years, it can be traced back to this Administration’s actions. They are making solar and wind power illegal to build in the United States. They are artificially restricting supply while demand is going up.
Now this is a journalist who deserves respect.
SCOOP: Revolution Wind employed 80 fishermen over the past 2 years, paying out $9.5 million to captains, deckhands, and fishing boat owners. Trump's pause means he just put Trump-voting fishermen out of work. When Trump paused Empire Wind, the fishermen stayed quiet. This time, they spoke to me.👇
Building a missile testing base attached to your house seems like it could backfire very quickly
This is both really cool and something you know plain and well would break almost instantly
Narrator: "both of these statements are true"
Aftermath of a car crash in Utrecht, Netherlands: *The street is closed off to cars. *Police measure angles of impact and look for possible causes (to prevent future crashes). *Officers politely summarize the incident with people walking & rolling by. How are car crashes evaluated in YOUR city?
If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages
I’m looking for at least one commish this month if possible! It would very much help my situation right now. 🙏🙏 Thank you all so much for your support in tips, buying my books and past comms! Shares are much appreciated as I try to push for one more to help keep things up and running! 💖✨
I'm surprised the ocean pressure didn't crush it to unrecognizability

At Pax West the next few days? Check out Bubsy 4D at the Atari booth!
I generally like to take notes when I read. But I have none. The whole article is a bar. This right here? Poetry. 👏🏾
Seems like it's a little misleading to lead with "lovely ladies" when it's clearly the more blatant sexual comments that got him sacked, lol
Personally it was the first game (Claws Encounters) that really made me like Bubsy, but I've always been more of a 2D platformer fan overall (i still plan to get and enjoy 4D though)
I mean I guess best to have the guy who enjoyed Bubsy 3D make Bubsy 4D but also How
imagine being so maniacally racist that you side with the fire over the firefighter
Ngl would have guessed Libertarian
Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years: 1. Make them fire you 2. Don’t go along to get along 3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role 4. Always escalate the conflict
Abbe Lowell and I represent CDC Director #SusanMonarez. Contrary to govt statements, Dr. Monarez has neither resigned nor yet been fired. She will not resign. We have issued the following statement:
BREAKING: www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08... The director of the CDC, Susan Monarez, is refusing to leave her post, despite demands from Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. that she quit or be fired, per her lawyers. via @sherylnyt.bsky.social + @apoorvanyt.bsky.social
Wow
(mf doom voice) he threw a sandwich cheese and salami, feds couldn't indict folded like origami, afraid of subway both the chain and the train, mayo salt and pepper shake your thang, grand jury shut em down twice, coca cola on the side no ice
Well this is it. I was let go from Crystal Dynamics as Perfect Dark was cancelled. I am now out of a job. I genuinely dont know what to do at this moment but to frantically apply for as many jobs that are applicable. If anyone needs a Senior Environment Artist of 10+ years, please let me know.
UPDATE: Allison Bustillo Chinchilla is choosing voluntary removal to Honduras after enduring six months in ICE detention at Stewart Detention Center under persistent, oppressive conditions. #AbuseofPowerWatch
📍𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐋𝐎𝐓𝐓𝐄, 𝐍𝐎𝐑𝐓𝐇 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐀: Allison Bustillo Chinchilla came to America as a child from Honduras and grew up to be a certified nursing assistant. Under President Donald Trump’s mass deportation policy, she’s spent the past five months in ICE detention.
Immigrants are my community. My friends, my neighbors, my coworkers. Am I supposed to just other them while people I care about are fearing for their lives all around me? If you're more upset at people seeing immigrants as part of their community than at what's happening to them something's wrong
In Donkey Kong Bananza, Pauline's idle animations evolve over the course of the game as she learns to be more comfortable around DK. In the beginning, she looks around worriedly. After Sublayer 300, she starts ruffling his hair, and after Sublayer 1400, starts tickling him.
while Republicans howl about DC being a den of iniquity, worth remembering that House GOP still refuses to let the district use $1B of its own taxpayers' money. That plus the economic hobbling from the DOGE layoffs have left the district in a much more damaged state than it was pre-January 20th
It's also hard to see a path towards making the needed reforms and changes without first doing something about the government being controlled by evil people who are reveling in the terrorization of immigrants- which I'm sure is at least part of the attention being on removal and punishment first
I don't think this is reflective of non-immigrants not caring as much as just the orders of magnitude, almost like the old "urgent vs important". It's hard to focus on immigration reform when masked goons are terrorizing your community
The comparison was perhaps distasteful but it's pretty obviously saying "if people aren't going to be outraged at something that's actually morally egregious they're not going to have an uprising about something as little as stop patterns"
Like, do we send our kids to the public school with shootings or the private school with shootings? The secular or religious private school with shootings? The school with shootings in the city or the one out in the country with shootings? The school with shootings in the red state or blue state?
“Despite that perception, data shows that violent crime in D.C. is at a 30-year low.” The REAL story, for real journalists out there, is the successful U.S-specific disinformation campaign by conservatives to make people afraid of cities despite the true facts. Poilievre’s trying it in Canada too.
I'm going to repost all the terrible jokes about this wonderful 🥪 grand jury because it is important to let people understand that they can refuse to go along with the fascists. We do not have to pretend that they are operating in good faith.
What Trump is doing to trans service members should be recognized as theft on two fronts. https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trans-military-ban-tera/?utm_campaign=SproutSocial&utm_content=The+Nation+Magazine&utm_medium=social&utm_source=bluesky
Never forget the United States Government tried to “save money” by firing ~ 600 NWS employees Roughly 0.000093% of the federal budget Just to go back to normal spending levels and not solve the 36 trillion dollar debt problem. A huge waste of time.
Saw this comic 11 years ago and I still think of it every now and then; thanks @zachweinersmith.bsky.social. Sauce: medium.com/the-nib/not-...
90%(!) cuts at the National Park Service to maintain DC parks. Now it's National Guard solides doing the work, who aren't exactly cheaper. Another DOGE "cut" that is anything but
Dang someone beat me to that joke
Huh? All I see are floating hi-vis vests /j
There used to be 200 people maintaining the parks in DC. Now there are 20. The GOP live to complain about how cities are “dirty.” Well, it costs money to keep places nice and they chose to not pay anyone
The stages of car brain recovery.
More of a Theodore Tugboat fan myself, but agreed
Home Depot sells electronics?
A few years in, a CDC drowning prevention program was ready to share its findings on how to mitigate the leading cause of death among young children. Then the administration terminated that staff.

Discovered this webcomic earlier and have been reading non-stop ever since. If you enjoy a good original sci-fi plot with spectacular art, fun characters, and a lot of heart it's absolutely worth checking out and supporting.
For all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.
Federal Reserve Bank Governor Lisa Cook, the first Black woman to serve on the Fed board, is suing President Donald Trump for attempting to remove her—a move that appears to be part of his crusade against the central bank. trib.al/jk2bfHH
Honestly, not the worst thing they could be doing with their time. But if this counts as a deployment, as I assume it does, this might be the most expensive trash collection scheme in human history.
There’s a war on black women because we keep trying to do crazy stuff like stay employed.
Oh, Trump fired the Black lady? I bet there are a host of mainstream news outlets that are squinting REALLY HARD to see if there is a pattern here. (the pattern they detect will be "Challenging Norms")
Trump perceives basically all independent institutions as a threat to himself, including economic institutions like the BLS and the Fed, he won't stop trying to wreck them until he's out of office, and it's everyday Americans who are going to feel the consequences
“To any federal official who would come to Chicago and try to incite my people into violence as a pretext for something darker and more dangerous, we are watching, and we are taking names,” @govpritzker.illinois.gov said: news.wttw.com/2025/08/25/p...
“If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me — not time or political circumstance — from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law.”
no matter how bad trump 47 gets, i want you to remember that it is better that it happens aggressively and in public view, than it would be for all of the same shit to happen under a savvier president who is better at hiding his ghoulish lack of regard for real people
Need a blue state governor hero to celebrate and make memes of and push for president three years too early? Try this guy.
The obvious move is to learn from the cat cafes and make it a literal owl cafe. Come for the owls, stay for the chicken
Normally, the Department of Justice rewards witnesses for turning on co-defendants, co-conspiracists, and accomplices. Ghislaine Maxwell is probably the first witness rewarded for *absolving* them. Because she is part of a coverup, not a prosecution.
Do you understand the aim, now? Wise up. And if you want to know all about the details of the cases, just read the expert @jkbjournalist.bsky.social please. Ghislaine Maxwell was given 'platform to rewrite history', say Virginia Giuffre's family news.sky.com/story/ghisla...

they’re kidnapping trans women and forcing them to choose between male detention centers, where theyll be tortured, sexually abused and forcibly detransitioned, and leaving her whole life behind via self-deportation. but please go on with your “reasonable concerns” about trans rights
oh the tumblr auto-flagging bot was EXTREMELY fucking terrible lmao
A landlord turned off Tenant Client's family's heat upon learning Client was an immigrant. Landlord hired three different law firms to argue this was legal, then fired each one after they couldn't get our case dismissed. This week, landlord settled for enough that Client will buy a house.
Searched Bluesky for Bubsy thinking I could find some cool celebratory fan art or something worst mistake of my life why are you people so horny
This sounds more like a reason to favor people who are good at bridging the gap and explaining what some things mean and why they're important than a reason to blacklist the words from ever being used
It's frustrating they always make the decision so early when that's not how people discover and enjoy shows. I only just saw full clips of StuGo earlier today and was like "huh. You know, maybe i should give this show a shot"
Classic Sonic games + Advance games. That drowning music haunted me...
I made this for you. And you. And your trans friend. And their cis friend’s trans kid. And your lawyer friend who does pro bono. And your mom who keeps saying we’re overreacting. And your attorney. And your partner. And your provider. And your representative. And your city councilor. But mostly you.
Game on.
“Oh no! Are they banning state fairs and cake baking contests?” “No…” “Have they kicked out bluegrass, soul food and blue jeans?” “No.” “So what part of culture and heritage—“ “Oh you know the parts.”
