Host: There are new calls this morning for RFK Jr.'s resignation, and those calls coming from inside HHS itself. More than 1,000 current and former HHS workers are making this demand in a letter released this morning. They say his leadership has "put the health of all Americans at risk"
I still cant believe Panty and Stocking came to Texas and went to Buc-ees 🦫
I don’t know who needs to hear this but… fuck the haters. You definitely do not need to have cleared all the content in Hollow Knight to be excited for, and play, Silksong. You don’t need to got back and beat that “one optional but hard boss you skipped but never went back to” to enjoy the sequel.

It seems too simple to be true, but every historical and modern conspiracy theory really does boil down to the newest iteration of the Blood Libel myth.
Fascism always presents its enemies as both too weak and too strong, but also the weaker the enemy in practice, the stronger they must be in secret. As such trans people are both the weakest AND strongest, and my god transphobic bigots project a level of influence onto us we simply do not have.
This was a Metal Heroes game in Japan?!
Natsume Atari has filed a trademark for Shatterhand in Japan: chizai-watch.com/t/2025097921 Shatterhand is a 2D action game originally released for NES. The trademark might suggest a remake or sequel is in the works, a la Shadow of the Ninja Reborn or Pocky & Rocky Reshrined.

What exactly is it about trans people that inspires such disproportionate self-incinerating rage in people who fall down anti-trans rabbit holes? That we've kinda done nothing is precisely why it's so disproportionate, to the conspiracy addled, it's more proof of our secretive far-reaching power.

Reminder that boycotting Xbox means also boycotting Gamepass, as well as Bethesda, Activision-Blizzard, GamePass and the many other studios Microsoft owns. It means not buying their games on Steam sale, too.
In a new paper, researchers describe a bizarre dinosaur with thorny spines along its neck and back that made its home in Africa more than 165 million years ago.

There's no stupid extra wristband needed, thorough security with ID checks that was efficient but clearly still validating things....it was nice. It was completely separated in a different ballroom too, to really make sure no one who shouldn't got back there. I had no complaints.
While I don't like how SacAnime is largely a dealer's room and celebrity petting zoo convention, one thing that it has over a lot of conventions is a completely dedicated NSFW dealers room and artist alley. It's refreshing to see, as a bunch of conventions ban 18+ goods in the current climate.

There's a Boggle set my landlady has laying around that makes me do the Hank Hill "BOGGLE?" voice whenever I see it. RIP DurhamRockerz, wherever you are. You changed the world for the better.
The only time this label should be applied is if servers are shut down or player counts are so low that you have to join a discord server to schedule matches. Live service model and Early access as a concept broke gamers’ brains.

The thing that makes me feel the most disconnected with gamers online is that I'm perfectly okay with video games coming out and not getting constant support. In fact most of the time I prefer it
Posting it here too because why not 🥹 I'm live on vgen! Come check out my profile if you're interested: vgen.co/Mana_draws
this comic's voice is basically "these protagonists are evil and inhuman, their murder sprees are wrong." and then it turns around and says "but immigrants really ARE simultaneously all-powerful and pathetically weak! and they're so annoying! plus they smell bad! can't knock me for the truth!"
the shonen jump anti-immigrant comic has been back and forth, turning that dial, on whether it is actually racist and at current, i place it at "racist that does not think it is racist". the "dog hot-pot" line convinced me, that's *not even* a dogwhistle
Dragonball Evolution is the reverse Citizen Kane where you hear for years that it's unforgivably terrible and you think "Well obviously it must be bad but it can't be THAT bad" then you watch it and it turns out it's even worse than everyone was making it sound.
Every "give cash and see if it helps study" shows that, yes, it helps. Much like the solutions to climate change, the issue of adoption isn't "will it work," but that capital demands that it not see the light of day.
There is a really interesting conversation to be had about the Venn diagram of Evo taking Saudi money, moral compasses, the idea of ethical consumption and “publicly unsatisfying but worthwhile activism” I doubt we’ll see it though because people would have to be REALLY honest.

I know it’s soft pushback but I really do appreciate director Chris Columbus’ comments on JK Rowling, especially considering how influential he was in the visual look of the Harry Potter franchise right through to the new tv show, and also that he’s of Rowling’s generation.

A lot of people mimick speech impediments when they want to make fun of people (lisping their Rs as Ws) and I feel like that's really inappropriate. It feels to me like doing the "Reee" noises or what have you.
We tried so hard to explain that the anti-trans panic wasn't just going to hurt trans people. Whether through recklessness or intent it resulted in extremely weird, broad, harmful laws. I'm not mad, but I'm telling you, we really tried.
I don't know how people don't get how SERIOUS it is that banks are deciding that we can no longer purchase anything even REMOTELY NSFW That means NO sex toys, NO horny figurines NO suggestive art, NO more furry content NO Baldur's Gate 3, NO pride flags NO fucking condoms NOTHING N O T H I N G
Nice, the big Wizardry video is the third on the channel to pass 100K views.
Transphobes would have a lot less reach on here if everyone stopped arguing with them and quoting their posts to dunk on them, they don't give a rat's ass about your arguments and enjoy wasting your time.
They don't tell you how fruity mecha is as a genre until you get into it and realize that all the shows are doing shit like this
I won’t pretend I influence, but as someone originally from Texas, please help prevent it from becoming more of a hell state than it already is.

When we talk about how "Magneto was right," this is why -- here he is, correctly predicting how this is going to go. It starts with dehumanizing; then that leads to tracking; tracking leads to arrests; arrests lead to camps; camps lead to genocide.
Thought about my old Noitu Love games today, so sprited this little hero for what they might be in a sequel
Liberals getting excited about Gavin Newsome feels like a person who keeps settling for shitty boyfriends. Like girl, you can do better for yourself - stop thinking you can’t do better. There is a guy out there for you. Look, your bestie New York City found a great guy and she’s had so many bad exs.
There are genuinely no words for how much I hate this. EVO being used to sportswash Saudi Arabia is one of the most vile things I can think of.
Yeah, that's much more accurate. The romatized 80s everyone thinks of didn't occur until the Memphis design movement (around the late 80s and early 90s). Anything before were remnants of the 1970s.
Happy birthday~! ^_^

The actual worst part of getting old is having to watch young people poorly comprehend events you experienced first hand. You already know I hate the numbered console generation thing because it's bad, well now I'm seeing people talk about the 128-bit generation. Bits are back!
Numbered console generations were made up by a random Wikipedia user in 2004 in an attempt to standardize the "__ era game console" articles, and nobody ever corrected it. It's nonsense that no actual historian uses and you have permission to ignore it
The slow march of EVO towards complete cooperate enshitification has been painful to watch. When Sony "saved" evo a couple years ago, they put on a great show but it was clear that it only had fumes in the tank left before it was EVO in name only.
Remembering #tolkien on the day of his passing, September 2nd, 1973.
another great kill from Jason, and a particularly toxic look for the companies involved. And Xbox in particular - if it was the IP-related blocker - responsible for more layoffs, for a final nail in the coffin... to retain an IP that they clearly didn't believe in all that much in the first place?
Always weird to see Godzilla recommendation lists that are ONLY the "dark" installments. If you're scared that someone might not be able to handle a lighthearted take on "giant dinosaur wandering around," then I've got some bad news about how that person is gonna handle about a million other films.

i think this quote from lucas gets to one of my worries--that most people are not curious, will stick with what they are familiar with, and have no interest in digging deeper when they are satisfied with what they have
From which side will the anime bubble pop (if it pops at all)? Who can say!? Maybe @vestenet.bsky.social and me!
if The Simpsons made any jokes like this about Disney today, Bob Iger would have snipers stationed outside of Matt Groening's house
no idea how different the show would be if Disney didn't buy it, but in the Fox era The Simpsons was a lot more vicious about its corporate overlords. one thing is certain, though: those rotten promotional shorts are an elaborate humiliation ritual
This is exactly why AI is being pushed. You can blame it for real shit and vice versa. Blur the lines of reality and purge the media of real reporters and this is like fascism 101 shit
