Doom The Dark Ages Revelations is a 10/10 from someone who has been playing ID software games since they were 8 (Wolfenstein and the original Doom). Every person who worked on that should feel proud of what they accomplished no matter what and anybody laid off should know they do not deserve it.

I realized my avatar makes me come off as an unbiased homer, but I would admit if it was not fun. I don’t 100% games I don’t like and not only did I already 100% it I am already starting another run.

The New York Post is devastated.

FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social

New York City just had its safest first 5 months of a year in recorded history. Murders plunged 21%, and major crime overall is down 11%.

Pet cat: I will dehydrate myself, because I don’t trust the fresh water in my bowl is safe since it isn’t flowing. Pet dog: I have fresh water in my bowl, but this stagnant water outside looks more appealing.

Hello- I am running this 5K tomorrow and I’m soooo close to my goal of raising $5K for @hofoco.org. Even if you can’t donate a repost would be 😍. We rescue millions of pounds of good food about to be wasted each year and get it to those who need it. Help the environment and help fight hunger 🤝

Molly Knight@mollyknight.bsky.social

Hi friends. I’m running the LA5K next Saturday to raise money for @hofoco.org. We provide nightly meals to 300+ Angelenos, plus medical care, and social and housing services. Govt funding has been cut and we need help. Thank you for your support: fundraisers.hakuapp.com/molly-knight-1

we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

we did it! a perfectly structured democracy. it's got checks, it's got balances. this thing is made to last. there's only one weakness: bad guys. if somehow some bad guys who don't care about decorum got elected they could basically just tip the whole thing over. luckily such men are unelectable

Not to be one of those people that just rents about a bad customer service experience online (totally just about to do that), but has Apple’s order support just been directly switched out to AI instead of real people?! I challenge any Apple exec to try and get support and not go insane…

Not a new album, but “Gary Clark Jr. Live” is one of the best live albums I’ve ever listened to. Probably one of the best albums period. One of the few live albums where you can hear the energy from the crowd with little subtle things that come through the crowd mics.

Sunday President diarrheas on the country, Monday President bulldozes White House, Tuesday President steals $230 million, Wednesday President... fucks a horse? Let's see if he fucks a horse.

The semantics-obsessed nerd in me can't help but point out that Kimmel didn't actually say the murderer was this group or that. So *IF* he's being punished for *THAT* line, it's not only FCC overreach, it's also just a failure of comprehension.

One of my favorite childhood memories was finding a baby snapping turtle and keeping it for a week or so before my mom took me to a pond before work one day and we let it loose. I swear that it turned around and watched us for a few seconds before we let it go.

Everyone's screaming about how the left doesn't compromise and I keep saying I will vote for this guy. I am a communist who will vote for a billionaire. Centrists, tell me about even one instance when you have compromised like anything close to this. Or at all.

Governor JB Pritzker@govpritzker.illinois.gov

I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own. Now, we continue fulfilling that promise. Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.

My company has been pushing us to use AI more to test out productivity boosts. Yesterday I used Claude and I was able to do 2 days of work in 1. Today I am losing that time back because Claude decided to wake up and become a blithering idiot.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

Why does it look like a clip of Benny Johnson talking to a version of himself from 10 years in the future?

Ogles on Trump's big bill: "Now, ICE is gonna have the personnel and resources to come into cities like Nashville and New York and quite frankly deport people ... if Zohran fudged on his immigration forms, we may very well be deporting him. Time will tell."

Sorry it’s now illegal to talk about how millennials are trying to save the US from facism while Gen X votes for it over and over. I got a sternly worded, whiny email from a Gen X man On Here who is very offended I keep pointing out how much Gen X sucks.

Philip Bump@pbump.com

There's been a young-vs.-old dynamic in the Democratic Party in particular for years. Maybe Mamdani is a fluke — or maybe he's the beneficiary of the increasing role of millennials in party politics. Gift link: wapo.st/44zuWyC

Trump: "They should give me the Nobel Prize for Rwanda and if you look, the Congo, or you could say Serbia, Kosovo, you could say a lot of them. The big one is India and Pakistan. I should've gotten it four or five times."

The party of “no more forever wars” that also conveniently got us into forever wars is now once again laying the foundation of another war that is built on lies.

Markwayne Mullin suggests he's privy to secret intelligence indicating Iran is close to having a nuke (the US intelligence community says this is not true)

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

I have my own type of vibe coding: enter a new enum value and rather than try to hunt down all the places I need to insert it in Xcode I just keep mashing on the build button to find the error locations until the compiler stops yelling.

WELCOME TO MLB'S RIVALRY WEEKEND! "Oh cool, so Cubs-Cardinals?" "Well, no..." "OK, but Yankees-Red Sox, right?" "Also no." "Dodgers have to be playing the Giants, at least." "Actually, no." "So what the fuck, man?" "You'll get Tigers-Blue Jays and you'll like it!"

I’m shocked nobody is talking about the part where Doom TDA goes from hardcore action to psychological horror and how it is done so well. Legit thought I was in a glitched room or something before I realized what was happening.

Decades of hearing the Christian right screech about “what are we supposed to tell our CHILDREN about GAY RELATIONSHIPS??” We met our friends’ baby the other day. I told our 2yo: That’s her Mama, and that’s her other Mama. She has TWO Mamas! 2yo: Oh, neat! *carries on* There, solved it for you.
