You know they added the Koopalings to the Switch 2 version of Mario Wonder because of all the complaints about how it had shit variety for bosses

#visionquest Imagine if Vision had given Dum-E control instead "Hey, kiddo. Wanna see a magic trick?" *sprays him with a fire extinguisher*

Eby should've called the snap election the next day after the BC Cons kicked out Rustad, and Milobar took over CentreBC. You've heard of "never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake", well I say, "interrupt your enemy when they're trying to fix a mistake"

What is it with AI CEOs being like "The technology we are working on will kill us all. It's incredibly dangerous. We're working on integrating it into more aspects of your lives. It'll end the world. We're going to keep building more of it. Heed our warnings about the products we're still selling."

Wild to think about how the BC Conservative Party essentially used those disaffected BC Liberal members to give themselves the legitimacy to become a major party again, and now that they've done it, they're pushing those people out.

The BC Conservatives undeniably would not be the Official Opposition right now if not for the members that are currently fleeing their caucus one by one.

I want to know if others can relate to this, or if it's just me There are a lot of songs that I've listened to a hundred times, and never absorbed the lyrics, but the moment I listen to a cover of it, hear the same song in someone else's voice, suddenly I'm like "OH THAT'S what they're saying"

Yes of course, in Clacton, the lifelong career politician who took a £5 million bribe from money-laundering crypto billionaires is the man of the people, and the perennial comedy candidate with a trash bin on his head is the political establishment. Bravo.

Gerudo royalty customs are wild. You mean to tell me that a society made up of almost entirely women still found a way to give one man absolute power over everyone else just for being a man?

Once the Paramount-WB merger goes through, this single conglomerate will control all of the following: -CBS -CNN -HBO -MTV -Nickelodeon -DC -Fandango -Rotten Tomatoes -Warner Bros -Castle Rock -Discovery Channel -Comedy Central -BET -Adult Swim -Cartoon Network -Animal Planet -TruTV -Food Network

And so after that, there'll really be like only two companies controlling nearly all movies and television. Paramount, Disney, and who else? Comcast I guess?

I'm wondering if the Ocarina of Time remake won't just be a simple HD treatment of the original, (like Wind Waker or Skyward Sword) but more like giving it the Final Fantasy VII treatment?

Imagine if on Trump's last day in office, someone asks him to describe how he wants his presidency to be remembered in two words, and he just says "The Aristocrats!"

It’s really hot in my workplace, but it’s cool if I sit right below the air vent. I’m begging to be taken out silently by the protagonist of a stealth game.

When one of the Liberals’ biggest climate champions feels he must leave the Liberal caucus in order to fight climate change, it says everything you need to know about the government’s sense of urgency on this file. There is none. PM Carney has abandoned climate action at our collective expense.

Richard Nixon is probably rolling in his grave, realizing he could've gotten away with Watergate if he'd just did a hundred worse things, refused to apologize for any of it, and shouted "The Fake News attacks me for everything I do! Stop listening to them!" until the cows come home.

I'm just realizing that the Horizon games, which deal heavily with the idea of AI as part of humanity's downfall, came out JUST BEFORE generative AI chatbots were everywhere. I wonder how those games would've looked different if they'd come out DURING the AI bubble?

Legal experts just confirmed Danielle Smith's private health care law breaks the Canada Health Act. Wealthy patients pay to skip the line. Everyone else waits longer. Protecting public healthcare is the federal government's job. So why is PM Carney letting Conservatives dismantle it?

Imagine if two half-human fantasy creatures had a baby, and the baby got the human half of both. Like a centaur and a Minotaur had two kids, one of them is half horse and half bull, the other is just some guy.

This was BEFORE the raccoon story dropped. Satire is officially dead.

Today, the Liberals rejected our NDP motion to ban surveillance pricing - a dystopian practice that will drive up costs for Canadians if we allow it to take root. The NDP is the only party fighting to protect you from getting ripped off at the checkout.

Today I proposed banning "surveillance pricing" — a creepy practice where corporations weaponize your personal data to rip you off. Deeply disappointed the motion was rejected. Canadians are already being crushed by sky-high costs. They deserve relief, not corporate exploitation.

#cdnpoli The NDP coming in second place in University-Rosedale is pretty good all things considered. These are Liberal strongholds at a time when the Liberals are surging, so doubling our votes in one of them is a win! Hopefully @avilewis.ca can keep the momentum moving forward.

Carney is being asked whether *any* politician is welcome in the Liberal caucus and he’s basically saying yes. There’s no line in the sand — as long as they tell *him* they support Liberal values, they’re welcome to the Liberal Party to grow his majority power. Yikes.
